Though he originally burst onto the rap scene in the shadow of Snoop Doggy Dogg (who puts in a guest appearance on two cuts here), Warren G quickly came to be known as a first-rate purveyor of "G-funk." Unlike gangsta rappers whose sonic assault is as brutal and overt as their lyrics, G makes excellent use of often subtle, funky arrangements and a relatively low-key delivery. "Gangsta Love" is a perfect example of the effective contrast between G's uncompromising urban portraits and his sophisticated aural framework; a lush, sinuous, midtempo R&B groove and a smooth, romantic croon are mated with uncompromising lyrics full of violence and street imagery. G manages to introduce the concept of love into the usually unrelenting hard-man front of the gangsta stance. He's aided by a bounty of impressive guests, including Jermaine Dupri, Mack 10, Nate Dogg, and the aforementioned Snoop, but it's G's own unique vision that makes I WANT IT ALL a success.
Industry Reviews
...reclaims some of his luster, as he shines on his self-produced I WANT IT ALL....showcases his gift for transforming light radio fare into lubricious gangster grooves...
Vibe (12/01/1999)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Warren G functions best in duet form....this is good work.
Q (01/01/2000)
3.5 mics out of 5 - ...brooding, funky basslines, easy-to-follow melodies and succulent production comprised of live instrumentation...manages to make [G-Funk] extend into the next millennium with these Y2G configurations...
The Source (11/01/1999)
...this pleasant and innofensive effort proves that having it all can be both too much and not enough. - Rating: B-
