At least after R&G I think its fair to demand a "gangsta" record with Dr. Dre, DJ Battlecat, Fred Wreck, Meech Wells, Jelly Roll....on the production.

And he's right. How is that joint not gangsta? Just because the Neptunes produced it? Just because it hit #1 on the pop charts? For fuck's sake, he even references his blue flagg on the song, not to mention he's still on his usual king pimp shit. How many cats you know that openly flaunt their Crip affiliations on songs intended for HUGE audiences?Quote from: Kingwell on February 27, 2006, 01:37:59 PMFACT: Making the same music your whole life gets BORING....FACT: Trying different styles of music is often a refreshing experienceAmen indeed. I gave you a prop.If Snoop kept doing the same shit he was doing in the 90s', nobody would give a fuck about him anymore...which is the case with everyone else down with DPG, including Kurupt, Daz, Nate, and Warren. I stopped listening to those other cats 10 years ago (although I still listen to "Regulate" or "Dogg Food" out of nostalgia). Why? Cause they keep puttin out the same shit over and over, and I got bored with them, so I moved the fuck on, which is exactly what everyone else did to them. Snoop? I been listening to him since his "Deep Cover" days, and 15 years later, I'm still listening to him. Because he knows how to reinvent himself, and thus sound relevent, so he'll always be fresh. There aren't a whole lotta rappers I've been listening to that long, so I think that says something.
he's blaggin some pussy off the lead singer
^^ you guys might be saying that shit now, but everytime Snoop does something new people are ALWAYS jumping all over him for not sounding like his Doggystyle days. I think it was kindda suckerish to have Neptunes ALL over his new record, but if he wants to do that its cool. I bought the record, and it has 6 tracks on it that I like. I just dont see the need for him to stay in the pop music too much. He came up as a gangsta rapper and thats what he should keep doing. Or would yall like to see a Justin Dogg
Snoop Dogg is not a Gangsta Rapper anymore, aint nuthing "Gangsta" about him anymore, and I think that People should give him Props for Still sounding Fresh , because he's one of the few Old School cats Out there that can make a good come back
hes makin money

What is so different about Snoop now? Why is he not "gangsta" anymore?The most popular excuse seems to be his beat selection. But I stand by what I said before.How many of y'all respect Snoop for keeping it real?? Let's take 'Can I get a flick withcu' The lyrical content certainly isn't gangsta... BUT, he can't rap about shit he doesn't do anymore, that would be hard... When you make a song, you gotta talk about what's going on in your life RIGHT NOW, what you are feeling RIGHT NOW....
