Title: paid the cost to be the boss
Post by: verbalassaulta on November 23, 2002, 12:26:51 PM
well it took 2 years for a snoop album...all that time should have produced a good album...you would think so at least

3....stop light 4/5...tight beat its ok might grow on me
4..church...2/5...i hate this beat..doesnt match snoops style at all
5...believe in you...what the fuck is this....this is horrible..what was snoop thinking....1.5/5....skipper
6...lollipop...heard this a long time ago...didnt did it then and still dont...what kinda beat is this???...a wack one....though soopafly sounds tight...jay z doesnt fit in here...3/5
7...ballin...heard this one a while back too....yawn...watch yourself you might fall asleep during this one...its not bad...or good...3/5
8...beautiful.....the beat is average...snoop flows pretty good...he sounds dope on this one...4/5
9 papered up...filler...make a dope song snoop!!!...3/5
10...wasnt your fault....another one that will probably grow on me...pretty tight...4.25/5
11..boss playa....snoop raps too slow...the beat is just above average...this could've been an amazing track.......4/5...
12...hour glass.....beats sounds like chuuch's...which isnt good...terrible track...goldie saves it from disaster...he spits some tight lines...kokane sounds horrible as usual....2.5/5
13...one and only....another shitty beat and snoop sounds uninspired on this one...this one is unbearable....2.5/5
14...i miss that bitch....e white sounds ok...snoop sounds average...and hi techs beat.... ...2.5/5
15..long beach....heard this one before.....pretty tight...though will forget about it in a month...4.25/5
16...suited and booted...please help us dr dre...or daz, quik...the production is starting to piss me off at this point...cant stand the chorus...2.5/5
17...u got what i want...beat is average.. annoying after a few listens...but goldie tears it up again..snoop does well..luda..does well...3.5/5
18...batman and robin...oh my god...what the hell is this .."shaking my head"...i cant believe this is on a snoop album...sorry excuse for attempted commercialism....2/5
19...pimp slap...heard this one...its ok...disses are kinda weak...snoop at least has some balls...3/5

overall 5/10....lyrics/flow....7/10....production....3/10

is snoop having a midlife crisis or something...first of the producers....did such a bad job...its not that theyre bad producers...i know they've done some tight shit before..no here though....DAZ would have done some tracks...i know he would of...for less $$ too and would have done much better...quik....i loved snoop over quik in nltopp dogg...why not snoop....and GET WITH DRE!!!!....aaaahhhh....throw in warren g for a track or two....oh yeah...why not mel man or even eminem... ??......well you get my point...and the guest list ....get rid of luda jayz, redman...eastcoast artists snoop is just getting for sales....daz, technique, mc ren, tray dee, wc, cube...someone west coast would be sooo much better...why not work with daz??????  snoop doesnt flow well on most of the tracks....like i said he sounds bored or something..maybe he needs to smoke weed again or something...THERE IS NOT ONE REALLY DOPE SONG...like no bitch please, lay low...type song that just stick out and you need to flip to as soon as you pop the cd in....its sounds a lot like doggystyle allstars...which is really bad....after hearing this album...maybe its time for snoop to hang it up or take a vacation

5.I Believe In You Amazing track where Snoops show his sweet side and talk about how he believe in is boo this also show that he's more mature.The beat by Hi Tek is perfect and goes with the Subject the hook by Miss LaToiya Williams is powerful and make the track sound great & soulful .great track but sound more like a LaToiya Williams featuring Snoop track. 4/5

I agree with almost everything you said except for the final rating I would give it a 4/5...It most definitely his most diverse album and probably his best since Doggfather...P.S. Whoever said The One And Only was wack must not like hiphop or is just a westcoast dikryder...Snoop killed that track with his flow and lyrics and Premier always comes through...

 :o :o

Either you got another version of the album than me, or you are more of a r'n'b/pop-dude.
I think none of those tracks I picked out there ^ is more than 3.
I know you like LaToyia, but damn.. Snoop isn't sposed to sound like that.

Title: paid the cost to be the boss ( my review )
Post by: Snoop_da_BOSS on December 14, 2002, 11:36:38 AM
So, yeah, dat's my review of Snoop's last album "Paid Tha Cost To Be Da BOSS", check dis out....

1. "Don Doggy", just a wack intro...
2. "Da Bo$$ would like to see you", pretty good, but short song, I liked it...
3. "Stoplight", with all tha respect to Snoop, this one is one of the worst on the album, and tha name is GAY!!!
4. "From tha Chuuch to da Palace", not bad, different, but not the best... still, I like the style.
5. "I believe in you", Latoiya Williams with her beautiful voice, and Snoop's soft lyrics dis time, make dis song a really nice and sweet one... not bad...
6. "Lollipop", wat can I say 'bout it? It's worst listenin to it, at least 'cause of such features as Jay-Z, Soopafly, Nate Dogg. An dthe song itself is pretty good, with a nice vibe.
7. "Ballin'", tellin' tha truth I didn't like it very much, cause here Snoop decided to bring The Dramatics back to the ground, dat doesn't sound like Snoop's music at all... but it's relaxin'....
8. "Beautiful", nothin special, just one of the songs...
9. "Paper'd Up", dat song is really good!!! One of my favourite on the album, wicked remix w/ Mr.Kane and Traci Nelson. Just listen to Snoop when he says: "...money, money, money, money..."
10. "Wasn't your fault", dis1 is just solid... "u can't control these hos."
11. "BO$$ PLAYA", nothin' special... but the appearance of DMJ.
12. "Hourglass", Mr.Kane, G.Loc, help Snoop do his thang, not bad...
13. "The One and Only", one of the best songs on da album, wicked scratches, and beat... phrases from famous songs... PHAT!
14. "I miss that bitch", i like both Snoop and E-White, but they should have been really stoned when recordin dis shitty song...
15. "From Long Beach 2 Brick City", really good, plus u get the whole 213 w/ Redman in 1 song, what is fuckin nice... worth checkin out.
16. "Suited 'n Booted", dat is Snoop's story, he keeps it real... you got to do it... fa shizzle my nizzle...
17. "You Got What I Want", damn, dawg, I didn't expect dis kinda beat from Snoop, but dat is a 100% hit, man!!! Plus appearance of Luda, G.Loc, Charlie Wilson... If u haven't heard it, ur loss...
18. "Batman & Robin", I dunno why Snoop decided to make dis song, but it should be on tha next soundrack 4 next "Batman and Robin", if there will be one... hehe
19. "Message 2 Fat CUZZ", yo y'all should listen to this, Suge Knight, eat this, fucka!!! It ain't over, muthafuckeaz!!! Damn, good skit...
20. "Pimp Slapp'd", tha last, tha longest, and one of tha best songs on the album, wicked lyrics, not bad rythm, man...

So, yeah, dat's all my review, dawg, if you like it tell me... I'll give dis album 8 out of 10 points. Keep it real, man...

Snoop_da_BOSS
So, yeah, dat's my review of snoop's last album "Paid Tha Cost To Be Da BOSS", check dis out....

1. "Don Doggy", just a wack intro...
2. "Da Bo$$ would like to see you", pretty good, but short song, I liked it...
3. "Stoplight", with all tha respect to Snoop, this one is one of the worst on the album, and tha name is GAY!!!
4. "From tha Chuuch to da Palace", not bad, different, but not the best... still, I like the style.
5. "I believe in you", Latoiya Williams with her beautiful voice, and Snoop's soft lyrics dis time, make dis song a really nice and sweet one... not bad...
6. "Lollipop", wat can I say 'bout it? It's worst listenin to it, at least 'cause of such features as Jay-Z, Soopafly, Nate Dogg. An dthe song itself is pretty good, with a nice vibe.
7. "Ballin'", tellin' tha truth I didn't like it very much, cause here Snoop decided to bring The Dramatics back to the ground, dat doesn't sound like Snoop's music at all... but it's relaxin'....
8. "Beautiful", nothin special, just one of the songs...
9. "Paper'd Up", dat song is really good!!! One of my favourite on the album, wicked remix w/ Mr.Kane and Traci Nelson. Just listen to Snoop when he says: "...money, money, money, money..."
10. "Wasn't your fault", dis1 is just solid... "u can't control these hos."
11. "BO$$ PLAYA", nothin' special... but the appearance of DMJ.
12. "Hourglass", Mr.Kane, G.Loc, help Snoop do his thang, not bad...
13. "The One and Only", one of the best songs on da album, wicked scratches, and beat... phrases from famous songs... PHAT!
14. "I miss that bitch", i like both Snoop and E-White, but they should have been really stoned when recordin dis shitty song...

Paid tha cost is ahead of it's ma-fuccing time.


It's not the best Snoop has spit, but it's not the worst.
However, I think 2003 will be a great year for Doggystyle, lotsa releases, especially the 213 REUNION ALBUM OHHWEEEEH!

Don Doggy- ???

Da boss would like to see you-4/5 good beats and song, short though..

Stoplight-4.25/5 i like it.. its a bit of a weird song and all rapping about cruisin down the freeway and ta hell with stoplights. but whatever i guess he makes it good.

From the Chuuuch to da palce-3.5/5 i like the style, but its deffenetly not my fav song..

i beleive in you-2/5 this is my least fav song!! cant be on the cd!

Lollipop-3.25/5 not a bad song i like it a bit, im not too keen on Jay-Z in it though, not sure what he's doin in here

ballin-4/5 it isnt quite Snoop in my opinion, its aight i guess though. but a battlecat beat to it, also like Snoop_DA_Boss said, its relaxin.

Beatiful-5/5 i really enjoy listening to this song, its also relaxin fuh meh, and just a great song.

Paper'd up-5/5 its one of my fav songs on tha album, another great one to listen to regularly.

Wasnt your fault-3.25/5 nothin special to it.

Bo$$ Playa-5/5 this is defenetly one of the best songs on the cd and one of my favs!

Hourglass-5/5 this is my favourite song on the whole CD i love the beat and everything to it.

The One and Onky-5/5 this is also one of my favs, just awesome beats, awesome everything.

I miss that bitch-3/5 i guess its aight, but not muh fav or anything just a song.

From Longbeach to brick city-4.25/5 not a bad song, im not sure why Redman is in here, Snoop got him to sell i think, now i like Redman dont get me wrong, but im not sure why he's on Snoop's album, i think it'd be better if Method Man was on.

Suited n' Booted-4/5-Its a good song to listen to, but i dont seem to listen to it none stop like i do with the one and only, and hourglass.

You got what i want-3/5 its aight, but its kinda like with longbeach2brickcity, Ludacris is in there because Snoop wants to sell this shit. Im not the biggest fan of luda either.

Batman & Robin-3.5/5 its kind of a stupid thing to rap about, batman and robin?? WTF. c'mon snoop.. give us some better shit then this.

a message to Fat Cuzz-???

Pimp Slapp'd-5/5 Great song in my opinion its another one of those songs i always like to listen to

Overall album rating- 4/5 i think he should get with Warren G in more songs, GET WITH DRE!! and get some better fuckin rappers then luda and jay-z etc.. DAZ!! KURUPT!!! ETC!

I don't think it's that bad of an album,just no album Snoop should do.

Anyways,my favorites are:

Da Bo$$ would like 2 C U
Stoplight (Though Snoopy Collins & Sir Dogg should have been taken off)
Papered Up
The One and Only (can get irritating though)
From LB to BC (straight dopeness but Snoop sounds too lazy)
Batman & Robin (Dunno why the hate)
Pimp Slapp'd

There really isn't any track I hate alltogether.

1.Don Doggy Intro

2.Da Bo$$ This beat is sickening. 4.5/5

3.Stoplight I've never heard parliament flipped like that. This beat is fucking sick. 5/5

4.From Tha Chuuuch To Da Palace OK song, doesn't seem to fit. 3.5/5

5.I Believe In You This song is just way to soft IMO. 3/5

6.Lollipop Just Blaze really hooked it up and everyone really came off. 4.5/5

7.Ballin' This track is absolutely amazing. This may be the best beat Battlecat has ever done.  5/5

8.Beautiful Cool song but the radio played it out. 4/5

9.Paper'd Up Cool remake. 4/5

10.Wasn't Your Fault 3.5/5

11.Bo$$ Playa It was okay until Don Juan was talking all over it. 3.5/5

12.Hourglass Snoop Tight beat, Goldie Loc is ridiculous on this track. 4.5/5

13.The One And Only
Generic Primo beat. I wish Primo could have given Snoop a beat that fit his style, like he did for Devin. 3/5

14.I Miss That Bitch
Tight HiTek beat and this just fits him nicely. 5/5

15.From Long Beach 2 Brick City
Redman's verse is insane and the beat is awesome. 5/5

16.Suited N Booted
This song annoyed me, Snoop is just showing off way too much. 2.5/5

17.You Got What I Want I could not get into this track no matter what. 2/5

18.Batman & Robin Only snoop could get away with something like this. 3.5/5

19.A Message 2 Fat Cuzz

20.Pimp Slapp'd Good way to close out the album. 4/5

Overall 4 mics. I liked this album more than most. It's not better than Last Meal but it's about equal in my opinion. This album takes more chances while Last Meal was your nice west coast banger, this album has a little something different. This cd was in my cd player in my car for a few months.

this album is solid from top to bottom but it doesnt have many real stand out tracks.........some real smooth cuts but it kinda reminds me off eminem show in a way.....where its kinda solid all the way but it lacks any stand out tracks n it puts its down
