Nate
Dogg - Music and Me If Jay Z were to review this
album he would probably say: "Nate's laid a good
blueprint to get girls, girls, girls."
01) I Got Love - Produced by Bink A cool laid
back song, that compliments Nates G-Funk vibes.
A really good song that displays Nates singing
ability. The 1st single. 3/5
02) Backdoor - Produced by Bink Good production,
some good music. Nate brings a really goo hook
and makes this track a winner. 3/5
03) Keep it G.A.N.G.S.T.A feat. Lil' Mo & Xzibit
- Produced by Megahertz A banging track, picked
as the 2nd single. Xzibit spits a flaming verse
lifting the rating of the track, while Lil' Mo
and Nate sing up a storm, keepin' it G. 4/5
04) I Pledge Allegiance (Intro)
05) I Pledge Allegiance feat. Pharoahe Monch -
Produced by Mel-Man Damn! This shits bangin'.
My favourite track off the album. Mel puts down
a phat beat, while Nate shows us his versatility
as a singer, raising and lowering his voice. Phoroahe
adds da flavour with a bright cameo. 5/5
06) Your Woman has Just Been Sighted (Ring the
Alarm) feat. Jermaine Dupri - Produced by Jermaine
Dupri & Bryan Michael-Cox I don't really like
this song, but it will probably end up as the
3rd single. JD throws in more ad-libs than Puffy
here. The hook is good though, Nate doing his
thang. 3/5
07) Your Wife feat. Dr.Dre - Produced by Dr.Dre
& Mike Elizando Hmm, good beat, but sounds a lot
like the "Lay Low" beat. Dre comes in spitting
game & really lifts this song. Typical choice
of topic for Nate, hoez & bitches. I like this
one. 3/5
08) Can't Nobody feat. Kurupt - Produced by Megahertz
Wow, this will get heads boppin'. These type of
collaborations will keep you fiendin' for DPG
music. Very up beat song and as usual Young Gotti
rips the mic up. 5/5
09) Another Short Story - Produced by Mike City
Not bad, yet not great. Nate doesn't really change
his voice pitch, which turns this track almost…boring.
The beat is a decent one, probably a song just
for true Nate Dogg fans. 2/5
10) Concrete Streets - Produced by Battlecat I
love it! Nate's voice is up and down, down and
up. Cat give's him another banga to work with.
Great lyrics that Nate delivers even better. Really
good song. 5/5
11) Real Pimp feat. Ludacris - Produced by Bink
Nothing special, kinda disappointing. The two
come off a lot better in "Area Codes". Nate slangin'
some pimp shit, as he only could. The beat lets
this one down. 2/5
12) Ditty Dum Ditty Doo feat. Snoop Dogg & Tha
Eastsidaz - Produced by Fred Wreck I was looking
forward to this, but it wasn't as good as it looks:
Nate, Snoop, Fred, Goldie and Tray Deee. Still
a solid track, with some great verses from the
DoggyStyle Records crew. 4/5
13) Music
& Me - Produced by Damizza A really laid back
track, that Nate flows smoothly over it. Some
shit to jus' kick back with. Nate tells us of
his love of his music and tells us he wont stop…
3/5
14) I Got Love (Remix) feat. Fabolous, Kurupt
& B.R.E.T.T - Produced by Bink Now this is one
of the best cuts on the album. Nate only contributes
the hook, but still shines through. Fab, Kurupt
and B.R.E.T.T all bring hot verses, making this
a great track. Although he is a solo artist, this
proves Nate does best when rocking a hook, and
leaving the rest for others.
4/5 OVERALL 3.5/5
