I could see this record getting some spins, but as far as a That's That type of impact no. Track is cool, I cannot stand the hook though. I can't stand when artists come with concepts for albums and by the time it is ready to drop it is something completely different.

It's a cheesy semi-awful club tune which everyone has already heard. Is the Dream the guy who does this one dollar Akon imitation in the chorus?

Garbage. Snoop has done this type of track a 1000 times now, bunch of predictable rhymes from his thats it. Dream's hook is also just another slightly different version we've heard from him when collabing with rappers. Only good thing about this track is the beat.

Post by: Detox Is A Myth!!! on October 07, 2009, 06:49:45 AM
Wow, Snoop took the totally WRONG approach to this beat.  Listen to the tempo of the high hat.  He should be rapping to that tempo.  Instead he's doing that stacato "B-Please" type flow where his lines don't stretch out to fill the entire bar, leaving a lot of gaps or empty space during the verses of the song.

I wish DOC could have written this song for Snoop, because he would have written with the correct tempo.  That's what really made him a perfect fit for Snoop, because he's good at recognizing which tempo to rhyme with.  Listen to Boss' Life to see what I mean.  Snoop stays on tempo there, probably because DOC wrote it.

Snoop sounds way off on this  :-\  His technique has really fallen off.

Anyone who says they don't like this song is just trying to be controversial and nothing will ever please these people.  Great track.  This is about the warmest reception you can get from these forums.  It seems like there's an angry mob on here to where nothing will ever please them, and I don't think most of these ingrates have bought an album since the Clinton administration.  Excellent job and thumbs up for Snoop finally coming real with it and putting it down for the West Coast.  Now who is looking forward to his new album or are you looking forward to buying old leftover copies from 1993 with old outdated beats and a bunch of rappers who aren't even relevant?

If I dont like it I dont like it that dont mean that I'm hatin (or controversial in your case). There's nothing special about it in my pesonal opinion, I've played it 4 times in a row and there's nothing about it that makes me wanna play this over and over. The beat is cool, but the tempo doesnt fit Snoop's style. I understand this is the first single aimed at the clubs, so lets wait for the rest of the album.

Oh and dont even try to call me an ingrate. I've done more for these cats than you ever could. You dont know shit

I can really see this song going either way, smash hit or flop. Life Of The Party I thought FOR SURE was a hit record and it never reached that status (except a few spots on the west coast). Even as much as Drop It Like It's Hot as many people at first did not like that record, it was a hit as well. Hard to say in this day and age what people will gravitate towards.

was strange the way drop it like its hot took off. it was around for quite a while before it really blew in popularity. i didn't really like it at first either but it was definitely a grower. gotta give pharrell his props for being ahead of the curve.

Yeah all of Snoop's singles were like that off of Rhythm & Gangsta. Signs, Ups & Downs, Let's Get Blown, I would listen to them and be like ehh it is catchy but I don't know if it will and sure enough it would blow up. I stopped doubting Pharrell and Snoop after that album together. This one I have the same feelings about it but I am not sure it will catch on though.

I'm still looking forward to the album, but I judged this song on its own merit.  You got your feelings hurt.  Sounds to me as if you're the one who's being controversial.

LOL this is 2009.  Those guys are still producing beats from the 90's.  People want to hear the modern, techno/club driven, beach sound.  Go listen to "Throw It In The Bag" and "Walking On The Moon," that's the current sound.  Are those guys still wearing the Starter Jackets too?

No the problem is feedback is a 2 way street. I am going to make a thread about this very topic in a minute. Agreed many people in here do give opinions that really have no backing at times, but many do give honest feedback. Me personally I said the song is cool, the hook is ehh to me. I get labeled a hater for saying that. Do I personally gives 2 shits? No, but at the very least I listened to it and gave my opinion. The problem with most people here and it gets to the point sometimes to why do I even bother with this forum is people cannot take constructive criticism. You either have to love it or hate it and anything else or both and you automatically are labeled a hater or a dickrider. It is getting to the point artists can't take criticism.

This is some dumbed down fast-food bubblegum sellout type of shiit! Why the fuck would Snoop choose beats like that when he's got producers like Battlecat Terrace and Jelly Roll at his disposal? The "consumers" are so fucking stupid that their ears can't handle music with more debth to it than this fucking garbage. That's why this type of music will never be classic. Because it always comes back around to real music.  

LOL this is 2009.  Those guys are still producing beats from the 90's.  People want to hear the modern, techno/club driven, beach sound.  Go listen to "Throw It In The Bag" and "Walking On The Moon," that's the current sound.  Are those guys still wearing the Starter Jackets too?

How is that new sound working for Fat Joe?

pretty much. the hater label is pulled out a lot more often that the opposite side of the coin. your right it is coming to the point where artists can't take criticism. not all new music is good music, not all new sounds are good and mesh well with every artist.

artists themselves seem to embody this way of thinking too. i dunno if its too much ego or pride, but its always, this is the new shit, fuck the haters. listening to criticism more carefully and interacting with the true fans is the way forward. and they wonder why nobody is selling any cds. im not saying compromise the art, just be more collaborative and less confrontational with the people who are gonna buy it.

Certain people may want that sound, but I personally do not want a thousand MC's from all over the coast using the same cookie cutter sound to sell records. That is why the death of autotune struck a cord with so many people. What works for T-Pain does not work for Busta Rhymes or Twista. Just because something works for Rick Ross does not mean it suits Crooked I. We have more than enough talented artists and producers that DO NOT have a 90's sound and everything is not G-Funk. 1500 Or Nothin are dope, XL Middleton, Dae One, Muggs, Fred Wreck, Khalil, the list is endless out west. So how does "following trends" automatically equal success all the time?

I agree.  There are some cool cats on here, but a lot of angry internet mobsters just looking to be controversial and rip on and bash everything that an artist does.  They are jerkin and strokin for some old copies of the Doggystyle outtakes and some suge knight leftovers, begging this soon-to-be bankrupt woman to crawl through a hole and open a vault for them.  They want Snoop to rap over Blaqtovin and Soopafly beats and make "Gin and Juice 3" with Richie Rich and Mack 10.  Meanwhile, the world keeps turning and music evolves and these people sit inside their closets pretending its the east vs west beef wars and they can't wait for the next pac leftovers album.

Are you kidding me man?  people want to hear the modern sound because it's 2009, not 1995. There are people on here asking about Snoop doing old G-Funk tapes, I sometimes question to myself if people are just saying it to be controversial or stir up a reaction from the reader  ::). The Dream is hot right now, he's got the club single ("Rockin That Shit"), the track with Kanye ("Walkin On The Moon"), and the banger with Fabolous ("Throw It In The Bag"). 
It only makes sense that Snoop collabs with him and makes it happen.  This is what people want to hear.  I question sometimes if these mobsters are really Snoop fans and want to see him sell records, make good music, and represent the west coast, or if they are looking for him to fail and hate on all his work.
This track will put Snoop's face back on the radio, in the clubs, and mainly, in people's IPODs and CD Changers.
So people need to stop this anger and just move on if you're bitter.

I know what year it is and everytime you make a arguement with the west involved you say G-Funk. The west is more than just G-Funk. I am talking about this cookie cutter format you seem to think will work for every artist. I do not have a problem with the Dream. The hook on the new song is ehh to me. And working with T-Pain or autotune does not guarantee success.

Again using your analogy why is Fat Joe, Plies, Rick Ross, etc sales tanking on their most recent albums? They are from the south, they should be selling waaaaay more then going down 50-60% in sales. Why is that?

Also Love 33, you can ask ANYBODY on this forum, I am a huge Snoop fan. One of the few that actually liked R&G from him. I do not mind change from Snoop, sometimes it does wonders, other times it blows up in his face. People love to hear that music from Snoop and others because it is timeless. I always say this, growing up and listening to 90's west coast music or from other places there is nothing like it. Does that mean new music is wack or new sounds? No.

People get touchy when it comes to Snoop because he tries so many sounds that his albums sound disjointed. His best music is with Dre, that is a fact. He works well with other producers too, and I am smart enough to know the odds of him working with Dre on a consistant basis is slim to none. So yeah he has had to adapt a new sound. That is not to say someone like Quik or T Martin do not do that because they do. Music these days is more of a crap shoot. What if this single does not blow up? A cookie cutter format is not gonna sell Snoop records, a cohesive, fresh sounding album is and contrary to popular belief, we have that out west as well.

I don't think it is so much the point of repping the west for me as much as there are alot of dope artists and producers out here that never get a look. Don't know who's fault that is. In all fairness to Snoop and he even said this, he is always making someone a lil mad when they are lefted off a album. He is only one person.

My only concern was Snoop had and normally tries to stick to a concept for his albums. By the time it comes out it is something completely different and it almost comes off like he is concerned more with making a hit record then sticking to the script of what he was originally trying to do. And no explanation.

LOL at nobody but me basically even trying to analyze the music as music.  Analyzing music is not a fashion trend -- "oh it's great...no, it's wack."  Do you guys know how to interpret and analyze the arts?  It's not about accepting or hating trends.  That's not even what the approach you should take when you watch a movie or listen to music or look at a painting, etc.

In other words, it's not about what KIND of music Snoop is making -- that's irrelevant.  It's how well he's executing it, whether it be the Neptunes sound on R&G, this processed, electronic sound on Malice in Wonderland, or G-Funk on Doggystyle.  It's not about what sound he's choosing to adopt, but how well he's pulling it off.  Good music can arise out of any type of sound, so it's irrelevant to analyze any art on those sorts of terms, which you guys seem to be doing.  It's how well the artist executes the inspiration they have at the moment.  And right now, Snoop seems to be doing the modern, electronica rap sound...and I'm judging the music not on grounds of whether I like or dislike that sound, but whether he is executing it to its utmost potential.

love33, I think there's something you need to understand. Yes all that music you're mentioning is successful in your region, but in the rest of the states, and the rest of the world fewer people are listening to that shit. I've never heard Rick Ross, The Dream, DJ Khaled or any new fat Joe get any sort of radio play where I'm from. Yet people who represent themselves, like Nas, Jigga, Em, T.I. get heaps of play. There's no format for making good universal music, good music is good music, and a lot of it depends on the listeners perception of the artist on the track. What works for Ross won't work for Crooked I. People just need to do themselves, and hope that it works, there's nothing worse than some wack ass one hit wonder who changed his whole steez to blow up...

Oh, Flo Rida does get play though lol...

love33, I think there's something you need to understand. Yes all that music you're mentioning is successful in your region, but in the rest of the states, and the rest of the world fewer people are listening to that shit. I've never heard Rick Ross, The Dream, DJ Khaled or any new fat Joe get any sort of radio play where I'm from. Yet people who represent themselves, like Nas, Jigga, Em, T.I. get heaps of play. There's no format for making good universal music, good music is good music, and a lot of it depends on the listeners perception of the artist on the track. What works for Ross won't work for Crooked I. People just need to do themselves, and hope that it works, there's nothing worse than some wack ass one hit wonder who changed his whole steez to blow up...

Oh, Flo Rida does get play though lol...

Rap does have a bit of regionalism to it, but the big dogs can get airplay.  Look at T-Pain and Lil Wayne, they get play everywhere.  And you mentioned Flo Rida.  Plies and Fabolous gets play all over.  My point is that if you use the modern sound and appeal to the masses, you are going to get a look.  Snoop is making great music with this look, his flow sounds a little more on point, a little quicker, and you got the Miami feel to the track with the beat, and The Dream just kills it.  It's a good look.  The people on Youtube are all giving it props.  Just look at what people are saying:

Why is it this forum has a mob of people who like to complain everytime someone does something relevant that's modern?  This track will be a huge smash if it gets the push in the clubs and the radios.

I can't beleive some people will actually listen to this and think it's good.

I mean, Gangsta Luv... it's a ridiculous title for a song like that.

Snoop flow is  :-X

And I'm not being a hater, fuck this modern, nice sounding RnB radio excuse. Don't get me wrong, I don't want G-Funk in 2009, but Snoop is one of the only artist that could use any type of beat and still put an album out. He should try to do an album like TBCT, that was a nice effort.

Gangsta gan gansta gangsta gang gansta.... damn

Some of these angry net mobsters are on some Kanye West Haterade these days and will say anything to steal Snoop's thunder because they can't accept the fact he's living in the now and  did a song that appeals to the masses so they say stuff like this -- "Yo Snoop, I'm really happy for you, but Warren G had one of the best versions of Gangsta Luv of all time!"... some of you need to seriously grow up, stop the hate, and act like a real man and give him his due.

I think its been established that love33 might be the worst poster on the forum.Selling out and using whatever sound is popular is his recipe for good music.Pathetic.People like love33 are the reason we have to put up with bullshit like this song.

The song is boring,predictable and uninspiried.

I like the dream,i actually own his albums,but this is just lame.Hes the go to hook guy of the moment like t pain was and akon was.And hes giving every rapper a generic chorus just like those two.

LOL first off, this thread is about Snoop's new track, not a comparison to a song that Warren G did 10 years ago   ::)  Next, if Nate Dogg was still the "go to hook guy" like he was earlier in the decade and Snoop put him on a single, these people on this forums would be saying how great it is to see snoop and nate together and this and that.  But since it's The Dream, the haters don't like it.  Finally, the track has had a great reception across the net.  This is one of the only forums where people are whinning and crying about it (and it's only less than half the people, but they seem to make the most noise).  These are the same people who want Snoop to sell hardly any records and make G-Funk records that nobody will buy outside of Southern California (people in Miami, Chicago, New York, Texas, etc. don't care about G-Funk).  I think this track is just as good as the Rick Ross one "I Really Want" with The Dream and will be a huge hit coast to coast and it will make the charts and put Snoop back out there.  It's a great look, it's healthy for the West Coast since the only ones putting out hit records this year are the New Boyz for the West.  Also, Snoop is setting the trend that other West artists need to start hooking up with The Dream and the big producers like Cool and Dre, Scott Storch, and Mannie Fresh.  He's pointing the West in the right direction.

Heard this song 3 or 4 times today on the radio, this song will easily become a hit, especially with The Dream on the hook.
