Production-wise on this album is nothing to complain about. With producers like Hi-Tek, DJ Premier or The Neptunes Snoop can musically convincing in any case. Too bad he raps too little self. As the saying goes: "Too many cooks spoil the broth." If Snoop Dogg denied this album single-handedly, he would definitely get me 5 stars. My favorite is, accordingly, "The one and only". This song is Snoop Dogg can finally let off steam sometimes rhyme technically. Nearly 4 stars !!
