Snoop's second album for the No Limit label finds him in fine form--maybe the finest since Doggystyle. On Top Dogg, Snoop has taken control of his own album; in working with a number of producers (Dr. Dre, Ant Banks, Raphael Saadiq, DJ Quick, and the Beats by the Pound team), he takes the best each has to offer and forces them to play to his own strengths. Though there are a few gangsta tracks on Top Dogg ("My Heat Goes Boom," with its "boom boom boom" chorus, is one of the album's best), the strongest songs here are the ones on which Snoop gets creative. There are a pair of tributes to Slick Rick--"Snoopafella," a Cinderella story on which Snoop aces Rickey's flow, and "G Bedtime Stories," which opens with a little kid asking "Uncle Snoop Dogg" to read him a bedtime story--and a few tracks built around classic samples (of George Clinton's "Black Hole Theme," Earth, Wind & Fire's "Shining Star," and even Brick's "Dazz"). There may not be anything here as transcendent as "Gin and Juice," but that's a minor complaint; Top Dogg is Snoop's best album in years. --Randy Silver

Great Comeback Album! May 21, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This cd is great because Snoop went back to his old "Doggy" style! It's not as good as Doggystyle but it is still off the hook! The best songs are Buck 'Em, G Bedtime Stories, My Heat Goes Boom, Down 4 My N's, B Please, Gangsta Ride, Ghetto Symphony, Buss'n Rocks, and Just Dippin! If you miss Snoop's old style, pick this up today!
Snoop finally makes a worthy follow-up to Doggystyle March 18, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
After buying Snoop's classic debut "Doggystyle" and waiting three long years for the follow-up, this is more like what I was expecting back in 96'. But instead I got the mediocrity of "Tha Doggfather" and then the abyssmal "Da Game is to be Sold" in 98'. At this point I know I was not alone in thinking it was over for an artist I originally thought would last forevor. This was a nice comeback, even reuiniting Snoop and Dr.Dre on three cuts, the slammin'"Buck em'", the classic "Bitch Please" and "Just Dippin'". Although the Dre produced songs are really good, they are not even the best cuts on here."Snoopafella" is one of Snoop's all time best, a Slick Rick style ghetto fairytale. "Ghetto Symphony" is another classic as is "Don't Tell" with Nate Dogg, Warren G.and Mauseberg. The legendary Dolemite even makes a few between-track appearances. This album was a real welcome return to form for Snoop.
 hatin on some the best tracks on album October 20, 1999
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
this album is tight is really about a 3 1/2 but, why is every body hatin on the 2 tracks by beats by the bound. "Down for MY Ni@@az is the rowdiest and krunkest track on here and Ghetto symphony is tight, the beat is average. Every body is forgettin that snoop doesn't have a down south rapper voice thats why his voice cant adapt to the hard hittin beats by the bound. I like tracks 4,7,8,9,12,14,15 and just dippin was alright.
 Snoop's No Limit Highpoint October 25, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
After a largely dissappointing and crappy effort from his first No Limit CD ("Da Game Is To be Sold Not To be told") Snoop returns with a banger (I'd give it 4.5 stars if they had it but they don't - but it definately deserves more than a 4). He returns to his west coast producers for a decent amount of the tracks and leans away from the No Limit tradition of having at least one of their artists on every single track (only 3 of the songs on the album feature No Limit Artists & he has quite a few of his old homies on here as well). It has 3 classics, 2 near classics, 5 ok songs, 3 I skip and the rest are good. Production is mostly non-No Limit, Meech Wells (6 songs), Dr. Dre & Dj Quik (3 songs each), KLC (2 songs), and 1 song each by Jelly Roll, Bud'da, Ant Banks, Raphael Saadiq, Goldie Loc. A definate cd to have for any Snoop fan or rap fan has a few classic songs on it.
