The two best tracks on the record are also the last two tracks on the record, "I Don't Need 'Em" and "Love It Or Hate It (Remix)".

In '05 however, it seemed Snoop finally exorcised the Doggystyle demons with the release of his hit "Drop It Like Its Hot." Although the song had some gangsta elements it featured Pharrell and had a beat that is closer Snap music than anything else. Finally, everyone could groove with Snoop on a track wasn't gangsta.
