Wish I could create a poll:
Doggystyle is usually the favourite for most people so this is excluded.
Also wondered what people liked better out of TBCC (2006) or Ego Trippin' (2008). But from what I remember about 12 years ago, people were liking Ego Trippin' when it dropped. There was a lot of love for that album and Kurupt freestyle.
I always enjoy Terrace Martin's work as well.
-
The Last Meal. I've probably listened to it more than Doggystyle over the years.
-
tha doggfather and last meal tie.
-
It's "No Limit Top Dogg" for me. "Tha Last Meal" is very close though.
-
Last Meal/BCT and I’ve been bumping a lot of Neva Left and I Wanna Thank Me lately. His catalog has aged well
-
DOGGFATHER, LAST MEAL, TOP DOGG, BCT, 7 DAYS OF FUNK
IN THAT ORDER
-
Wish I could create a poll
Why didn't you add a poll then? I'll add it for you now.
EDIT: I only added Snoop's solo albums, so let's stick with those.
-
2.The last meal
3. No limit top Dogg
4. Tha Doggfather
5. Paid tha cost to be da boss
-
I voted for Tha Last Meal, even though when I think about it, I have probably listened to Tha Doggfather a lot more over the years. I also really like Paid Tha Cost which I think was the first Snoop Dogg album I ever got back in the early 2000s. The 7 Days of Funk album is brilliant too - short and sweet unlike almost every other Snoop album which could do with 3 or 4 tracks chopped off.
I haven't heard a few of the albums in the poll, especially the more recent ones.
No love for the Bush album? I always bring that out when its summer where I'm from.

"Bush" was dope. The last three (rap) albums Snoop put out were great too. I haven't heard "Bible Of Love". You should check out "Neva Left".

how the hell did Top Dogg get 9 votes?

how the hell did Top Dogg get 9 votes?

too much, right,

how the hell did Top Dogg get 9 votes?
:o
I'm wondering the same thing, especially since I voted The Last Meal and yesterday it had 6 votes.
-
You can change your vote if you want to. I accidentally voted for "Da Game Is To Be..." myself and had to change it.
-
I can't decide. Too many classics
-
I chose Tha Last Meal but No Limit Top Dogg is up there too
Last Meal/BCT and I’ve been bumping a lot of Neva Left and I Wanna Thank Me lately. His catalog has aged well
I agree his whole catalog is underrated
-
Snoop has a lot of dope albums, only 3 I don’t like, reincarnated, bush and bible of love. Maybe not the most lyrical rapper but he knows how to make dope music!

:o
Cuzz it’s the best one after Doggystyle! Dawg, just taking your age, u would’ve had to come around to hip hop during the West resurgence movement... well let me tell u something... it was that Top Dogg album that spearheaded the whole West resurgence movement. It was Snoops comeback album, coming back to the West, back to Dre—and it was “Bitch Please” that really was a game-changer to bring things back West. Dre supplies Snoop with 3 certified bangers that we’re right in line with Dre’s comeback album as well.
Then Meach got a banger on there “Heat Goes Boom”, Quiks got production on there, and it plays beginning to end.
I knew u would say Doggfather was best but yo... if you was older enough u would’ve felt the brick Doggfather was, PAC dead, Suge in jail, and Dre’s album didn’t blow... the West was all riding on Snoop and he ain’t deliver...

i’m not saying top dogg isn’t qualified
i’m saying it doesn’t feel like 9 people in here picked it based on the replies
and tha last meal has always been generally considered better by the consensus
-

Yeah but I think that has something to do with the timeline. I'm guessing a lot of cats at this forum really got in with the "2001" album, so they were all in by the time the Last Meal came about. So they may have missed out on what a big deal it was for Snoop to come back strong with Top Dogg.
That said, it is a tough call between Last Meal or Top Dogg. Last Meal, Snoop had the whole Dogghouse extended fam really strong behind him and they were riding the wave at the time and in a good zone.
...since it's a close call I got to go with Top Dogg because of the timing of it all, and how important that album was to reset the orientation of the hip-hop nation back West 8) 8)
In fact, was just bumping Eastsidaz this weekend and remembering how great that album was top to bottom and how strong the team was behind Snoop for that album, and Snoop as a leader.

in terms of straight music, doggfather, top dogg, and last meal were all on the same level.....i aint mad at any1 pickin either one of those. but like u said, doggfather was a huge disappointment for every1 expecting a doggystyle 2 (kinda like how compton was disappointing to those expecting another 2001)......i rate it purely from a quality perspective tho. in retrospect doggfather is a near classic (along wit top dogg and last meal).

Objectively I agree... but anytime I start bumping the Doggfather album it’s like the sky becomes gloomy and I poured my cereal and then didn’t have enough milk... bad memories resurfacing...
Some may remember how 7 Day Theory mysteriously dropped a week before Snoops album. Snoop was getting all the promotion and anticipation and PAC just dropped out of nowhere and under a different name. At least in Kansas City the single “Live and Die In L.A.” had not even came out they were still playing “I Ain’t Mad At Cha”.
I can’t describe how eerie it was the way that album dropped and just stumbling upon it that weekend at the record store. The album literally sounded like PAC speaking from the other side, still haunting and getting the final word on all his enemies. Legendary.
Snoops Doggfather a week later sounded soft trying to follow...

wait for the snoop v dmx battle! 8)

1. The Last Meal
2. The Blue Carpet Treatment
3. Tha Doggfather
4. Paid The Cost 2 Be Da Boss
-
Topp Dogg was dope, great features and we got Snoop back with Dre. Tha Last Meal was a notch better with the production and Snoop lyrically was so in pocket.
-
I enjoyed the Blue Carpet Treatment album a lot when it came out, and still do, but the sound does jump around a lot. Ego Trippin is cool but I don't revisit it as much as the other Snoop albums.
Neva Left is good but to me is more like a mixtape.
Looking at the tracklist to Top Dogg now it actually looks like a stronger album than Last Meal. If I could I would remove tracks like Trust Me, In Love With A Thug and Ghetto Symphony to make it even better. The Last Meal likewise is let down by some weak tracks that come in a row at the end of the album.
You could easily make a three-disc Snoop Greatest Hits album filled front to back with great tracks from basically every album he's ever done.
-
7 Days of Funk is so underrated
Coolaid too
them 2 albums never get mentioned on here
-
7 days aint a solo album thats why.

yea it is
i consider any producer-rapper collabo a solo
unless you wanna say doggystyle isn’t a solo album?

I actually really liked the Snoop Lion Reincarnation album/documentary project a lot, but people don’t talk about that one anymore.

Ahhh come on “Trust Me” is a cold-ass pimpin joint with Suga Free, that one is alright and “In Love With A Thug” is actually a very solid story telling track that Snoop said in an interview is actually a true story from his life, plus Meach produced it and Meach was helping keep Snoop up in his No Limit days. (Meach blessed Snoop with his only good song and lead single for Da Game album as well).
So those two Top Dogg joints might not be bangers but they are definitely keepers.

no one talks bout Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$, interesting. that album give the WORLD 2 hit (drop it like its hot, and beautiful), or doggumentary with sexual eruption.
these are not just US known albums, but worldwide.

doggumentary is amongst his worst tbh
paid tha cost was cool, but that’s not one of his best either

i know, and think the same. just interesting nobody mentioned them before.
like R&G...

7 days aint a solo album thats why.
yea it is
i consider any producer-rapper collabo a solo
unless you wanna say doggystyle isn’t a solo album?
nah, thats only you who think a producer-rapper is a solo.
back in the days it was, but nowdays it looks like a duo albom, or a collaboration album.
dont ask why. i dont like it either, but its a fact.
(check dj muggs vs, dj muggs & albums... for example or planet asia AND dirty diggs relases even the artists aint count them solos. they call it collaboration albums)
and it that term. 7 days was a collaboration album, and doggystyle was a solo.

you goin into semantics now
paid in full is a rakim album
deltron 3030 is a del album
moment of truth is a guru album
it’s not about “back n the day”.. the luniz dropped high timez entirely produced by the mekanix and it’s still a luniz album. so why would that be a luniz album and deltron 3030 not be a del album when they are technically one in the same?
i don’t care what they wanna call it, if only one person is rapping on it then it’s a solo.
-
nah. u goin to semantics. and want push your opinion.
I spoke bout what ARTIST do. and thats what matters IMO.
again back in the day. check raekwon o gfk first albums. none of em duo albums, but both rappin on. they call it solo. no matter what you or me thinkin.
this one too. when meyhem lauren sayin he gonna release another album WITh muggs thats a muggs and lauren album. they call it that.
its interesting. nobody sayin ll cools mama said ko out is a marly marl and ll album, but its produced by him entirely.
these terms aint based on logic. based on trends, times, and artists.
if u agree with or not.
In this topic.
bush is a snoop album with pharrel produced entirely. but no one call em duo album. its a snoop album. pharrel aint on the cover.
7 days is a collabo, duo album. dam funk is on the cover and the title too.
who knows why?!
check these too:

again i don’t care what the cover says, the music is what matters
and if it’s only one rapper, to me that’s a solo ... we always called paid in full a rakim album and count it when ranking his catalogue. when people ask “what’s your favorite del album”, everyone pretty much instantly says “deltron 3030” ..... nobodys guna stop them n say “wait, isn’t that not really a del album?” .... you would actually get laughed at sayin some silly shit like that.
-
again. i can live with your opinion, just dont call it fact. ;)
i try to do the same with mine.

right
here’s a thread of cats ranking del’s albums:

but if you wana stick to semantics and disqualify deltron 3030 from the rankings of del albums, do you playa
-
back to the topic!
7 days is phuckin important album in snoops career. technically its "safed it" (his rap career) after the weak shits, like ego trippin, malice, more malice, or renincarnated.
but this is just me. my toughts.
-
Top Dogg was a good prelude to the Last Meal. Dogg Father would’ve been at the top if it was better curated.
Seeing this long list of albums really reminds you how Death row was quality over quantity. They behaved much more like an art gallery than most labels as they had a lot of artists they wants to showcase but also wanted to give them a good amount of time and attention as opposed to just churning out garbage like most labels did shortly after when trying to emulate Death row (eg No Limit, Cash Money etc)

you're mistaken. "Drop it Like it's Hot" was on R&G.
Paid Tha Cost had 2 Neptunes tracks though : "Beautiful" and "From tha Chuuuch to da Palace"

right, my bad!
