One Of The Best Soundtracks You'll Ever Hear (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-02-24

This is one of the best soundtracks that I've heard in a minute. Death Row Records hit their peak with this album back in '94, especially when the west coast was starting to blow up. Most of these artists on here bring their A game while making this album. Snoop Dogg's "Murder Was The Case (Remix)" is dope and is better than the origonal. Another classic track is the Dr. Dre and Ice Cube colab "Natural Born Killaz". That had to be an exclusive track because of the fact that they did a song together at that time. A lot of the production is upbeat as well. There are some of the production that will make you nod your head. Tha Dogg Pound's "What Would You Do" is a bumpin song with nice production. "You Better Recognize" with Sam Sneed and Dr. Dre also has a nice beat as well. The production on this album is excellent and will not dissapoint.

Some of the people who aren't on Death Row shines a well. The best song on this album comes from a member who isn't even on that record label, D.J. Quik, with "Dollars & Sense".Even the production on that song bangs, as Quick lyrically slaughters MC Eiht on that track. A couple of young cats named Young Soldiers come on for the party track "Eastside Westside", which is also excellent,

There are some R&B songs as well. "Horny" by B-Rezell, and "Come Up To My Room" by Jodeci and fearures Daz and Kurupt. Nate Dogg lays it down on "One More Day". Jewell's "Harvest For The World" is almost forgettable in my opinion.

Then the version I have comes with a DVD and features music videos for "Natural Born Killaz", "What Would You Do?", and "Murder Was The Case".

This here is one of the best comming from Death Row Records. The All Music Guide says that this ranks along side with The Chronic and Doggystyle, and I believe that is a true statement. Suge Knight did the smart thing by reissuing this album (still waiting for that Dogg Food LP buddy), because this mostly represents what Death Row is all about. This is one album that would be a perfect addition to your collection. Word up.

Awesome Hip Hop Tunes from 1994.......2006-07-17

1994 was a high point in rap music, and this soundtrack proves it. The West Coast was at its high back then. This record features some of the dopest G-Funk selections. Snoop, Tray Dee kill it on "21 Jumpstreet" takin it back to growin up on 2-1. The beat itself is classic, laidback with a relaxing keyboard riff throughout the song. Tha Dogg Pound brings heat on "What Would You Do" with a bouncy, yet hard-core beat, perfect to lowride to. "Who Got Some Gangsta S---" is another banger, with Snoop, DPG, Swoop G and Lil C Style, with a smokin beat and killa rhymes. Quik's "Dollaz and Sense" also on his Safe + Sound LP, also bangs; I am also a fan of MC Eiht, but you got to admit, Quik's diss is hella hard, and the beat is hot. The R&B tracks range from o.k. to dope, like the neat DPG and Jodeci collabo, "Come Up To My Room," but I mostly bought this album for the G-Funk. "The Eulogy" with Slip Capone and CPO is menacing. The rap tracks bring the same magic as The Chronic and Doggystyle did in the last 2 years before this soundtrack.

Best Rap Movie Soundtrack Ever.......2006-04-25

Throughout the mid 90s, west coast g-funk era rap not only dominated the radio waves and album sales but also spilled into the movie scene. With movies such as Above the Rim, Poetic Justice and Higher Learning, to name a few, popular and talented west coast rappers like 2Pac, Tha Dogg Pound and Warren G brought their music to the big screen. Although I've seen the aforementioned movies, and not this one, the soundtrack to Murder Was the Case is the best I've heard. The album sports 3 classics, 1 near classic, and some solid g funk rap and funky R&B throughout.

The first classic is the Daz Dillinger produced One More Day. This is Nate's song throughout. He isn't relegated to the hooks. And guess what? He owns the song just as he does when he is put alongside a rapper. Outside of "My World" and "These Days," this is Nate Dogg's best solo effort. The baseline is fantastic and Nate Dogg single-handedly creates his own subgenre. The second classic is the funky R&B song "Come When I Call." The formula is straight out of R Kelly's "12 Play" and other albums from the same mold but it works. He can sing. Danny Boy, just like Nate, proves that he can carry a song on his own, without having 2Pac or Warren G beside him. Finally, the best song on the album, Snoop's best song, Daz's best production and my 3rd favorite g funk song of all time, "21 Jumpstreet" is the third classic. Technically, I can't call it Snoop's song because there are so many other variables involved. We have DJ Easy Dk's funny if not vulgar intro. Then we have a verse by Snoop followed by a verse by Tray Deee' (who would later team up with Snoop again to form Tha Eastsidaz). Next we have a hook interpolated from the mediocre funk song "Nobody Can Be You But You." Snoop and Tray Deee' go at it again and DJ Easy raps things up. Our DJ takes 2 hilarious callers, one that complains about being jacked in the hood and the other who dedicates the call to his "baby's momma." To top things off, the beat Daz came up with is one of the funkiest, complex, creative and memorable to ever grace the rap world. It's a big statement, I know, but listen to the song yourself. You can't deny it.

These songs alone are enough to make a memorable album but the album has more. DJ Quik's "Dollaz+Sense," also found on Quik's Safe + Sound album is a fantastic diss song and the hard "What Would You Do" by Tha Dogg Pound is even better. The lesser "Who Got Some Gangsta Sht" by the Pound and Sam Sneed's "U Better Recognize" round out the list of good songs. All in all this album is incredible. With Quik behind "Come When I Call" and Daz behind "21 Jumpstreet" and "One More Day," they prove that they're the one's to reckon with in the west not anyone else. Classic album from beginning to end.

Good Soundtrack from Death Row.......2004-10-28

This is another must have release from Death Row featuring most of the biggest names in rap at the time. A few other cats from The LBC and a few R&B singers get on here as well. The beats are tight and most of the songs are quality. Just short of a 5 star rating but I'd definitely give it 4.5.

#1 - 8.5 (Snoop Doggy Dogg f/ Daz Dillinger)
#2 - 9 (Ice Cube & Dr. Dre)
#3 - 9 (Kurupt & Daz Dillinger {Tha Dogg Pound} f/ Jewell - dissin' Eazy E, BG Knocc Out & Dresta)
#4 - 10 (great song a classic by: Snoop Doggy Dogg & Tray Deee)
#5 - 9.5 (Nate Dogg)
#6 - 2 (Jewell - very slow song)
#7 - 8 (Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound {Daz & Kurupt}, Swoop G, C-Style)
#8 - 7.5 (Danny Boy - a slow song but a good freaky one)
#9 - 9 (Sam Sneed f/ Dr. Dre on the hook)
#10 - (Jodeci & Tha Dogg Pound {Kurupt & Daz} - another freaky sex song)
#11 - 2 (Jewell - very slow song)
#12 - 10 (a classic by: DJ Quik - dissin' MC Eiht - also on his "Safe + Sound" album released in '95)
#13 - 7.5 (CPO (Tha Boss Hogg) f/ Slip Capone)
#14 - 4 (B-Rezell - another freaky sex song)
#15 - 9 (Big Wy & Lil' Stretch {The Young Soldierz} f/ a slew of other cats - also on the "Young Soldierz" 1994 album)

One Of The Best Soundtracks You'll Ever Hear (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-02-24

Great album from the classic Death Row era.......2005-12-16

Murder was the case came out right at the height of the Death Row era, with The Chronic, Doggystyle then this, they were releasing classic after classic. Murder Was The Case was the soundtrack to the short film of the same name featuring Snoop Dogg, and all Death Row's artists got together to make this great compilation.

Now this would have got 5 stars, but some of the R&B tracks spoil the flow of the album a little, in particular the Jewell songs, which just seem out of place, on a hardcore hip hop album. There are so many great tracks on here though, that you can forget about the poor R&B tracks. It starts off with the remix to Murder Was The Case, not as good as the original but still a great track. Following that is the classic, Natural Born Killaz with Dre and Ice Cube, this is one of the best tracks on here. Other notable songs are, What Would U Do? (Tha Dogg Pound), 21 Jump Street (Snoop Dogg, Tray Deee), Who Got Some Gangsta S*it? (Tha Dogg Pound ft Lil Style & Young Swoop G) and Dollars and Sense, the classic diss track by DJ Quik. My favourite track on the album is U Better Recognize by Sam Sneed & Dr Dre, this is an absolute classic. In fact since I heard this, i've been looking for more Sam Sneed stuff, but can't find a lot (does anyone know if he's ever released any albums? I can only find an EP, also titled U Better Recognize, but can't find a track listing for it). Production is superb as with all Death Row releases, most of the tracks are by super producers, Dr Dre, Daz and Dj Quik, and they produce some quality G-Funk sounds.

Of the R&B tracks, Come up to My Room with Jodeci and Tha Dogg Pound is probably one of the better ones on the album, also the Danny Boy & Nate Dogg songs are O.K. Like I said earlier though, the R&B songs let this album down a little, but this is still an excellent soundtrack. Buy this for the classic hip hop cuts on here, there are some amazing tracks, if your a Death Row fan and you don't own this, pick it up now!

One to Keep .......2005-10-07

Good quality album that most don't know exists - really good old death row classics from all the gang. Some banging Snoop tracks! An exellent Tune by Nate also!!

Woman To Woman.......2005-06-06

Jewell Woman 2 Woman is the only reason I have this Soundtrack. When I first heard that song I knew I had to buy Murder Was Case. I love that song so much and Im glad that I have it. The rest of the songs are okay I guess. I nevered really listened to the other tracks besides the ones released as singles. Its funny how a great R&B song like Woman 2 Woman made it on hardcore rap album. I gave this soundtrack 2 stars one for Jewell and another one for the singles.

Excellent C.D.......2005-04-24

This is a masterpiece, plain and simple. A pure west coast classic, as expected when you get Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, Dj Quik and Jodeci all on one C.D. Although I'm not much of an RnB fan I can listen to it on this C.D which normally doesn't happen. Dj Quik contributes the excellent Dollars & Sense to get the rap started. This is followed by the legendary Natural Born Killaz by Dr.Dre and Ice Cube, easily one of the best songs ever. A song I was pleasently surprised by was U Better Recognize by Sam Sneed. But the best song on this C.D is definitely What Would U Do by Tha Dogg Pound. This is, in my opinion, the best rap tune ever. If you love west coast rap and don't have this C.D you must buy it.
