A thought about "Ready 2 Ryde" from Snoop's "Tha Last Meal" album...

[Conan]

I was listening to "Tha Last Meal" recently for the first time in a while, and this song REALLY caught my attention for the first time. In the past, I don't remember getting particularly excited about it, but when I listened to the track this time...DAMN, I really think that song could have been a huge single! Eve rips it, Snoop does his thing, and the instrumental has got to be my favourite Storch beat ever. I could really picture the track banging in the clubs. No surprises that Dr. Dre mixed it down - it's got his signature sound all over it. Only complaints (and these are minor quibbles) are the amount of talking at the end (Snoop should have dropped another verse!) and the chorus is lacking a little something.

They messed up on "Tha Last Meal" singles. "Lay Low" was a dope track but, Dre production or not, I wasn't shocked to see that it didn't perform amazingly on a commercial level - not exactly crossover material. If they had replaced "Lay Low" and "Losin' Control" with "Ready 2 Ryde" and "Issues" or "Hennesey N' Buddah" I think the album could have sold a significant amount more.

Anyone agree/disagree?

i agree, its a very dope song, only the end lacks something, like u already said, beat is 

[UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over]

Bangin track, I'm surprised you realised this just now.As for Hennesey N Buddah being a single, that almost happened but Snoop said MTV wouldn't play the video if they made one.

[Oklin]

yeah its a dope track

Great track, one of my favourite storch beats, but dre didn't mix it

Damn, my bad. I remember Dre mixed about half the album - I always thought this was one of the tracks he contributed to. That makes Storch's beat all the more impressive. How is it that he was making classics like this back in 2000 and nowadays all his stuff sounds totally generic??

 I did enjoy this track in the past, but only now has it really grown on me. Makes me wish Eve's Aftermath album would actually come out if this is what she would sound like on it.

Aside from wack ass Eve, it was an ill song.

The beat had the energy to pound, Snoop was flowing like he was having flashbacks of 'The Shiznit'.

The song winding down with Snoop doing his impersonations of Dre, DMX, Master P with added side affects for each rapper was cool. You know the chronic sprinkle for Dre, Barking for X, Master P's trademark cow noise urghhh...lol

good track, and I really liked this album but everytime I think of the album it always comes back to "Go Away"  one of the rawest, sickest tracks I have ever heard to this day.

co sign to the fullest. Scott Storch was a BEAST on that album. Yeah the selection of singles excluding Law Low was very week. It completely killed the sales potential of the album. Could have been 3x platinum.
