It is 2004. I argue that this helped save West Coast rap music. It is by no means a perfect album but there are some straight up and down JAMS on here. At least half a dozen. And Alchemist did the intro so that's one right there.

Snoop Womack is good times too. This is one of those albums where the artist recorded like 50 songs and picked 20. And I'd argue that he missed a few between this and Blue Carpet Treatment.

Stuff like this didn't make either one:
