The Hard Way  Hear it Now

RS: 3of 5 Stars

Can it be ten years since Warren G and Nate Dogg proclaimed the G-funk era? That adds up to so much drama in the LBC! But it's still hard being Snoop D-O-G-G, and no doubt it's even harder being Warren G or Nate Dogg, so all three stars team up for the excellent G-funk-era-revival supergroup 213. That's right -- gangstizzle nostalgizzle! It's cool how Snoop comes on as one of the guys, even if he's the one making moves with Shaquille in his Snoop de Ville. There's the mellow Kanye West jam "Another Summer," the inevitable "I'm Rick James, bitch!" skit, Snoop's personal balls-licking instructions and the Eighties R&B tribute "Joysticc." In "My Dirty Ho," Snoop gets misty about the good old days: "I remember bitches wouldn't fight back/Now these ho's push the game/And they wanna strike back." The game don't wait, dog.
