SNOOP DOGG - FROM THA STREETS 2 THA SUITES (Official Discussion)

[midwestryder]

Just looked into the WEB FLAC version of this album and damn, they actually put that DJ Drama mixtape MP3 file of "Look Around" on his official album. That track was first featured on the "Blue Carpet Treatment - Mixtape" back in 2006 (same length and tags by DJ Drama as this album version). A year later, he "officially" released the untagged, high quality version on his "Unreleased Heatrocks" project. The full track's length is 4:28 compared to the 3:39 mixtape / album version.

This is what the files look like in comparison:

2021 album version (FLAC):


2007 "Heatrocks" version (MP3):


That's embarassingly bad and pulls down the whole project for me. Really shows that Snoop and his camp don't care for releasing some quality material for their fans at all. The same shit happened with "Malice N Wonderland" and "Neva Left". That goes for that Vapors remix especially, which was a worse quality version compared to what's been available online prior. Don't know what goes to his mind when he decides to put old ass songs on his albums that people heard before already.

Here's the download link for the proper version of that song...higher quality, full length, untagged: https://we.tl/t-GAWy1KN0Wy

Any hard copies coming??

Any hard copies coming??

Was wondering the same, and if so, hopefully they fix some of the mastering issues with the streaming and download versions.

Despite those issues, this goes pretty hard in the car. Overall, I like it. It's not my favorite Snoop album by any means, but I didn't expect it to be.

Same here. Nowhere near my favorite but the lack of expectation - for whatever it's worth - might've had a positive effect on this album overall. Still, it does bump in the ride.

He should add bonus songs on the hard copies.

Why Snoop not using the Doggystyle imprint anymore?

Doggystyle Records still active right

He’s probably too high to remember

This album is growing on me. Track 01 to 05 slap all the way through then 06 fucks up the vibe for me, 07 and 08 are tight and I don't care much for the last 2 tracks.

Both songs produced by The Mekanix have stayed on repeat. The album has a few other dope songs too, but this could've been an EP.

It even still has the tag by Lil Jon on it. Damn.

any info bout cd copy?

Rap CDs and even vinyl seem to be about dead. Didn't get a physical release for the new Goodie Mob, haven't seen anything on the new J. Cole or DMX, and not looking good on this Snoop. As a collector, it's annoying.

i finally gave up on buying new cds

i was buying everything off mixunit for a minute but it ain’t the same

[phatj]

Snoop should have put Don't ask questions, text  OR call & paper and that one song with the original take it like a g snippet. This whole album sucks.
