I Want It All is the third studio album by the American rapper Warren G.[6][7] It was released on October 12, 1999, via his own label, G-Funk Entertainment, in conjunction with Restless Records. Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Mack 10, Eve, Jermaine Dupri, and Slick Rick make guest appearances. I Want It All contains less vocals by Warren G, who focused more on the producing.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that Warren G "attempts to regulate his chart position with superstar cameos; but even Snoop Dogg, Eve, and Memphis Bleek can’t bring enough edge."[8]

AllMusic thought that "though I Want It All occasionally skirts the borders of hip-hop lite, it's chocked with quality mid-tempo productions and excellent rapping."[1]
