Snoop Dogg Murder Was the Case [The Soundtrack]

"...[It] isn't the trailblazer that Dre's THE CHRONIC was last year. But it is rap very nearly as strong. Featuring West Coast stalwarts...and new discoveries..., Dre and Dat Nigga Daz present gangsta- and R&B-infected fare that slams..."
"...confirms...Dr. Dre as the new king of pop. In addition to the ominous remix of Snoop's title song, Dre reunites with Ice Cube...Dre's G-funk sound may be the hardest in the land, but it's also the most gut-wrenchingly soulful..." - Rating: A
3 Stars - Good - "...While most ears will be tuned to the bile'n'beats of 'Natural Born Killaz'...the best track here is from Snoop's young protege, Nate Dogg....One of West Coast rap's more imaginative albums."
4 Stars - Slammin' - "...while Jodeci duets with Tha Dogg Pound and an all-star cast to try their hand at the G-Funk sound, Dre begins plotting his next move...heavy-metal bass meets chunky keyboards..."
Ranked #8 in NME's list of the 10 best compilation albums of 1994.
7 - Very Good - "...anyone expecting this to signal Dre's decline is kidding themselves. MURDER WAS THE CASE shows the old dogg has plenty of new tricks..."
