Label : Breakaway / Navarre

Customer Review :
If you are a fan of the classic G-Funk era of Dre’s"Chronic", Snoop’s"Doggystyle", Dogg Pound’s "Dogg Food", then you have to have this album. One disc of material "The Prodigal Son", was supposed to be released back around 95 or 96, but due to "disagreements" with Suge Knight and Death Row records, it was never released. So Nate formed Dogg Foundation Records and recorded a new album called "Ghetto Preacher" and released both discs together as G- Funk Classics Vol. 1 and 2 in 1998.

"The Prodigal Son" is the better of the 2 discs, featuring all his Death Row labelmates at the time- Snoop, Dogg Pound, Warren G,etc. Every song on this album is a winner and had it been released 2 or 3 years earlier it probably would have been a bigger hit. The "Ghetto Preacher" disc is also good, but does have a few weak tracks. Nate Dogg is a good singer and has his own brand of smooth R&B and funk. These albums are now available seperately and they are both worth getting, especially "The Prodigal Son".
