Murder Was the Case (1994)

Rapper Dr. Dre has proved himself as good a producer and director as he is a rhymer. The quietly menacing, wonderfully smooth gangsta rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg was Dre's first major prodigy, and has proven himself worthy of his own massive success. MURDER WAS THE CASE is a long-form video (or more accurately, a short film) which goes along with Snoop's eponymous song "Murder Was the Case". Directed by Dr. Dre, it conjures up resonant images of life on the street and as a young gangsta. Also included is the director's cut version of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube's "Natural Born Killaz" as well as three other uncensored music videos from Snoop ("Gin & Juice," "Who Am I (What's My Name)," and "Doggy Dogg World").
