    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 4.0

    Good album and good rapper

    I thought the album was really good. The other kids that reviewed before me just don't appreciate truly talented rappers like Snoop because they're too busy listening to garbage like Soulja Boy.

    I rate this title off for age 2 and give it 2.0

    *kicks album aside*

    Well, Mr. Doggy Dogg can't go a sentence without referring to weed ("tell me if it's weed that ya need if you wanna breathe, I got the best weed minus seed") and can't go two without saying s--- or f---. This is NOT for your ten year old.

    Rap Junk

    R&G would be most fit for this album as Rap and Garbage. Snoop Dogg has pretty much no talent, though his "hit" song is ok. There is alot of bad stuff in here... just stay away.

    Snoop dog is one the weakest rappers ever because he has no good songs only his beats are good.
