Most of Snoop's pre-released work is from "Doggystyle" and a majority of the tracks on the album are either unreleased or new remixes. Unfortunately, they have not put forth one of their better retrospectives. But that won't stop them from putting out a "Greatest Hits" compilation from their catalog. Nearly a decade later, Snoop is no longer a member of Death Row Records.
Platinum plaques, movie shorts, and murder charges followed. Dre make one of the all-time greatest hip-hop records with "The Chronic" could not have known the impact that this record would bring to not just his career but his life.

However this cd is tight (it has 6 or 7 previously unreleased songs and the rest are mostly from "Doggystyle" w/ 2 from " Tha Doggfater" and one from "The Chronic"). This is just an attempt for Suge & Death Row to keep eating off Snoop since he left and their label fell apart.
