Snoop Dogg Presents- Doggystyle All Stars/Welcome To Tha House, Vol 1: Snoop is back at it with this compilation. Check out our 1 page review to see if Snoop and his labelmates can make the grade.

1. Intro - Snoop Dogg/Mac Minista: Typical intro if you are used to hearing Mac Minista

2. Dogg House America - Soopafly/E-White/Mr Kane/Snoop Dogg/LaToiya Williams: Average song with a pretty good beat. Snoop's verse is wack, but Soopafly and E White come off tight.

3. Not Like It Was - Soopafly/Snoop Dogg/E-White/RBX: This is the second single off the album and it is bangin! Ez Elpee produced it and all MC's come tight. It is good to see RBX choppin game with Snoop again. He sounds like he has regained his hunger. E White and Soopafly come correct too.

4. Fallen Star - LaToiya Williams: This is the debut song for Doggystyle's lone R&B act, LaToiya Williams. She kinda sounds like Aretha Franklin. Soopafly did the beat and this is the first single off of the album. Click here for the video.

5. Doh' Doh' - Soopafly/E-White/Snoop Dogg/Mr. Kane: Hi Tek drops the beat and the all stars speak on it. Hi Tek has been doing alot of beats for Snoop lately and there is even a rumor that he is trying to sign him. Smart move if he does. This beat has a westcoast sound to it, although Hi Tek is a eastcoast producer.

6. Doin' It Bigg - RBX/E-White: Hi Tek again is on the beat and RBX and E White play a little lyrical tag team. E White is a promising new artist and I like his style. RBX once again comes off tight.

7. Nite L.O.C.s - Mr. Kane/Snoop Dogg: Meech Wells on the beat and Mr. Kane with is rapping/singing style. Can't stand Kane, like the beat, skip the track.

8. Are You Ready? - Soopafly: This song is str8 fire. Hi Tek AGAIN drops the heat and Soopafly comes with the pimp rhymes.

9. Hey You - Soopafly/E-White/Snoop Dogg: This has got to be one of the tightest pimp songs I have evr heard. Alchemist created a song so fly, it sounds like it should have been in the movie Shaft! All MC's especially E White and Snoop, drop dope rhymes. Probably the second best song on the album.

10. Raised On Tha Side - Soopafly/E-White/Snoop Dogg/Mr. Kane/Daz: Fred Wreck, producer supreme, creates the beat and for the first time in a while, Daz joins his cuzz Snoop on a track. Str8 fire once again.

11. Don't Fight The Feelin - Nate Dogg/Cam'ron/Snoop Dogg/Lady May/Soopafly: Weak song, skip it!

12. Unfukwitable - Lady Of Rage: DJ Premier drops a cold beat and I don't know what it is when Rage gets on a track, but she KILLS this song lyrically (KILLS IS A VERY GOOD THING!!!). One of the tightest tracks I have heard this year. Snoop needs to sign her!

13. Strong Will Eat The Weak, The - RBX/Mr Kane/Snoop Dogg: EP on the beat and Snoop and RBX do a little dissin on this track. The looped gunshots on the beat are a nice touch and Snoop rides on Suge Knight and supposedly Murder Inc. Not a bad track at all.

14. Just Get Carried Away - Reo Varnado/Snoop Dogg/Vinnie Bernard: DJ Stratch drops a cold beat and Snoop has a short but bangin verse. Nice chorus, but the singing lasts a bit too long.

15. It Feelz Good - LaToiya Williams: Soopafly on the beat and LaToiya sings her heart out. Nice song.

16. Don't Make A Wrong Move - Mr Kane/Special Ed/Snoop Dogg/Prodigy: Horrible beat, verses and concept. Skip quickly.

17. Bitch's Treat - Soopafly/LaToiya Williams: Same with this one!

18. Trouble - Vinnie Bernard: Nice R&B track

19. Squeeze Play - Too Cool/Young Buc/J-Dog/Snoop Dogg/Leicy Loc: DJ Slip on the beat and Snoop dissing the hell out of Kurupt on this one. Never thought I'd see the day. Really the only highlight of the song.

20. Light That Shit Up (Endo) - Soopafly/Snoop Dogg/RBX/Mr. Kane: Hi Tek saves the day as this album really bombs toward the end. Soopafly and RBX come correct, but Snoop comes wack.

Overall, this album comes off as very rushed and average at best. RBX, E White and Rage really impressed me with their rhymes, but Snoop sounds like he was not concerned with this album. Snoop does have some talent on the label so hopefully he will showcase it well.
