    1.0 out of 5 stars radio edit ripoff, July 1, 2009
    they should tell you up front that this is a radio edit. worst $5 i've spent. i would have been better off burning my money. stay away from this one unless you enjoy gaps and missing words in your music.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless Long Beach hip-hop classic; beautiful sound., February 17, 2000
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Regulate G-Funk Era (Audio CD)
    This is one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever. Warren G shows here, on his debut album, that he is a hip-hop genius. The sunny summertime sounds of Long Beach rap are always amazing. All of the tracks are laced by soulful keyboards, thoughtful raps and beautiful bass. The songs are unreal and can be enjoyed over and over again. Warren G has the ability to appeal to all. All of the songs are extremely memorable, and I find it hard to believe that anyone couldn't enjoy this album. Listening to it soothes you; it makes one feel better. Almost like heaven on Earth, quite a masterpiece. Warren G is a complete hip-hop artist, with the ability to rap and produce amazingly well.

Unlike most of his West Coast G-funk peers, Warren doesn't celebrate drive-by gang-bangin', dirty-money stackin', nor G's-up, hoes-down pimpin'. Sure, he says the f word once in a while and puffs on the cheeba-cheeba when it's passed his way, but he's essentially a good-natured, all-ages rapper, interested in nothing more than good ol'-fashioned hip-hop. He professes his demeanor succinctly on the catchy hook to "This DJ," the other era-defining highlight here: "It's kinda easy when you're listening to the G-ed-up sound/Pioneer speakers bumpin' as I smoke on a pound/I got the sound fo yo' ass and it's easy to see/That this DJ be Warren G." Like his stepbrother Dr. Dre, Warren is a more talented producer than rapper, and it's his... Read more
