West Coast rapper Warren G has had mixed luck since "Regulate," his first hit back in 1994, but as this album's title hints, he's back on form here, with a superb mix of romantic rhyming and gangsta rapping. He reunites with original 213 bandmates Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg on the decidedly old-school "Yo' Sassy Ways," while George Clinton makes an appearance on "Speed Dreamin'," a heady mix of P-Funk and West Coast rap. "Young Locs Slow Down" is a warning to would-be gangstas that their lifestyle won't last long, while "It Ain't Nothing Wrong With You," where G's joined by Boss Hogg and Butch Cassidy, is a litany of X-rated romantic conquests. There's a sentimental recollection of his roots on "Ghetto Village," set to the tune of Stevie Wonder's "Village Ghetto Land," while El DeBarge contributes his typically sensual, romantic vocals to the album's final cut, "Keepin' it Strong."
