Dr. Dre's absence on Snoop's sophomore album is very apparent. However, the album still has a few very strong points. Just like his cover of old school hip-hop on Doggystyle with "Lodi Dodi", the homage continues on Tha Doggfather with "Vapors". "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" is a great party record, as well as "Groupie". The latter is good, but is clearly a "Ain't No Fun" part 2. Lyrically, Snoop is very much a party MC. Yet, at the end of the second verse on the title track, he addresses the situation that probably delayed the album and could've forever changed Snoop's life and West coast rap had the outcome been different: "You know I ain't tryin' ta floss/But uh, (Murder, murder, murder) was the case that they lost/I'm Tha DoggFather."
