The first two tracks are good rhythmic bangers and among the best tracks on the album. From there the tracks in the middle of the LP are generally good, but nothing great, and then it finishes well with what is my favourite track on the album in the vocoder R&B/rap track in 'Echo'. From memory and the rating I have given 'Welcome to the Zoo' this is a vast improvement and quite a different album. Best Tracks: Untamed Gorilla, What It Is, I Got It, Echo.

A fairly safe album, lyrically and vocally being an average west coast release, with Domino technically as a rapper being likewise. The G-Funk beats are good, but if you've heard plenty of the genre they won't excite you too much.

A good album from one of the most well-known rappers ever, but I don't think this should ever get spoken about with the best of the best in the genre. All the skits make this feel really sluggish, and while there are a handful that aren't too far away, I think 'Who Am I (What's My Name)?'] is the only absolutely brilliant song here. It's one of my favourite songs of all time so maybe it's just hard for the rest to live up to it... I can't deny some of these beats are brilliant though. Lots of fun but I don't go back to a lot of it often. Best Tracks: Gin and Juice, Murder Was the Case, Serial Killa, Who Am I?, Ain't No Fun, Doggy Dogg World, Pump Pump

Bangin'! The opening songs are exactly that and begin the album off excellently. If you enjoy Tha Dogg Pound, I can't see you not enjoying the beginning of the album. 'I'll Bury Ya' is a particular favourite as is Game's verse on 'Anybodykilla'. 'Mo Murder' is a small drop off but not that much, and then you have the appropriately titled 'Vibe' which just features a great laid back west coast beat. Other tracks in this vein are 'Dat Ain't My Baby' and 'Itz a Good Azz Day'. From 'Vibe' not as much stands out except for 'Throw Ya Hood Up', which is a nice anthem, but it is all an enjoyable listen and I really feel this is under-heard and underrated here. Content-wise, it's fair to say there isn't much new on offer, but that isn't why you check out a DPG or Daz album anyway. A good gangsta rap release for which the bonus tracks are even worth checking out. Best Tracks: I'll Bury Ya, Everybody, Anybody Killa, Vibe, Throw Ya Hood Up.

Some good songs, with humorous lines as Redman has always written. The beats, largely handled by Erick Sermon and Redman himself, are good enough without jumping out at you too much. It's worth noting also that the beats are not as funk-influenced as much of Erick's previous beats. A solid album without being anything extraordinary, hence the 3/5. Redman fans should get something out of this. Best Tracks: I'll Bee Dat!, Jersey Yo!, Keep on '99, Da Da DaHHH, D.O.G.S., Brick City Mashin'!, Soopaman Lova IV
