I have a bit of a problem with your argument about him falling off during the doggfather time. Techinically he didn't really fall off, because during the doggfather sessions he made some absolutely dope songs which somehow didn't end up on the album, but instead some filler songs were included on the album. I've read an interview or something a long time ago were snoop said that he also made 1 or 2 songs during the doggystyle sessions which he didn't consider good enough to be straight 5/5 songs and so they weren't included. So there was a quality control during the sessions for doggystyle, where everything not 5/5 wasn't included. On Doggfather there seemingly wasn't that much of quality control due to Dr. Dre not beeing there anymore and snoop beeing clearly unmotivated most of the time. So it's just the selection of tracks that make it seems like a fall off, because of you added some of the songs they recorded to the bunch of dope songs that were on the released version of doggfather and cut all the fillers, you wouldve had a second dope album. Bun instead some of the weakest songs that were made when snoop had zero motivation the booth were just thrown on the album to finally release it.

PS:
Don't forget snoops time before death row when he was making underground tapes and songs. They are all absolutely dope also.  8)

Yes.. good post.  Definitely quality control was not the same at the time Snoop released Doggfather.  Dre had the ultimate high standards and he wasn't around anymore to give his stamp of approval on the project.  Part of the reason Dre left Death Row was over issues of quality control with Suge.  And then Suge also had high standards in his own right, but Suge was in jail and the demand for a Snoop album was so high, with around 3 years of anticipation, that they kind of had their hand forced into dropping something.

Ehh he fell of temporarily. Similar to when T.I. caught those gun charges and suddenly started making all those "Live Your Life" / "Dead & Gone" type songs, they had just went through a lot and didn't have the frame of mind to make aggressive gangsta shit (T.I.) or partying and pimpin music (Snoop).

Then to make matters worse Snoop went to No Limit and attempted to fit in and gave us a frisbee of an album.

BUT!

After that he gave us No Limit Top Dogg, Tha Last Meal, Tha Eastsidaz album, the Bones Soundtrack, The Wash, Doggystyle All-Stars, even Paid the Cost was nice (treat yourself and break out the unreleased tracks from that album too). So your arguement is flawed because while he did indeed "fall off" for 2 albums; he went on a GREAT run and released some of the best music of his career shortly after. 1999-2003 Snoop was a beast.

Can you read ficca??  that's exactly what the fucc I said in my post above (only with a minor difference being I say he fell off again when he started fucking with Pharell and you liked the Paid the Cost album)

You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song.

Hack Wilson - real

Doggfatha was indeed a disappointing CD compared to Snoops talents...similar to the 2nd Slaughterhouse album on Shady.  you got some dope ass shit but overall it felt rushed and uncrafted.

Tough call to compare the two albums but IMO the best tracks on Tha Dogg fatha are ;
up jump tha boogie
snoop bounce
vapours
2001
sixx minutes
doggy land.
(of course tracks like blue berry and wake up are right up there also).
 So yeah most my faves from the album are solo's.


 Funny how when this album came out it was so strange/different and disappointing but then i grew to love it and now consider it pretty much classic and its one of my fave Snoop albums.


Probably because you weren't really into hip-hop at the time Doggystyle came out.  Because any O.G. like myself or MDogg that was old enough to remember when Doggystyle came out knows how devastating it was to West Coast/Death Row/and hip-hop in general when Snoop failed to deliver  with Doggfather and ran into the Sophmore Slump/jinx
LMAO. Ok OG. Your actually quiet wrong, i was extremely into hip hop when doggystyle came out. And as i said , when dogg fatha came out it was disappointing.
