Snoop Dogg would have a bigger impact if he wasnt in every songs and everybody's album. In my opinion, if you are a big  and respected artist , you have to check who you are working with, and if you plan of releasing an album that will solidify your career, stay away from the mic for a bit so people can expect something Great from you

Nah, look at Bun B, he was the feature-artist of the year last year.

Yeah, that's a good point.  There's a difference between over-saturating the market with your own shit (like 50 Cent does with his label's albums, his movie, his shoe line, video game, books, etc.) and teasing the public by doing guest appearances while they're waiting for your album to drop.  Snoop's been doing that successfully for 5 years now, so has Bun B, so has Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Luda, etc.  I don't fault Snoop for sticking to the script on that...he drops an album every 2 years (less if you count side projects like Tha Eastsidaz or 213) and he does lots of guest appearances on other people's shit in the meantime to keep his name out there.  That's a sound business plan.

On the other hand, Snoop usually does have a successful single or two (or a hot-to-death one, like "Drop It Like It's Hot"), and that's what always pushes his albums to Platinum status consistently.  Unfortunately, while "That's That Shit" is pretty good and there's a couple other bangers on the album (even if it's mediocre overall), I don't really think there's any "Beautiful"s or "Drop It Like It's Hot"s on there.

real talk right there

This album isn't gonna attract any teenyboppers, only his die-hard groupies who can't deny that this album is weak will buy it.....too bad for him, I'm not one of them.

:sign_werd:

So ya'll ain't goin to cop it?

... nah, I'm gonna cop Game's tho... I got a $20 certificate to Best Buy... I'll get that and a lil somethin else

Man, Snoop album dope.....I like this shit.......Only a few wack tracks.......the 2 Dre tracks apart from Imagine are wack....and the rest is Great/Banging if not decent/average track...

Plenty of single material on there....

Anything less than plat will be dissapointing..........

Hard to say what he'll sell 1st week.....

And if he doesn't go plat, then don't cry when he decides to go all pop again...

I was thinkin somethin like most of y'all have been sayin....around 200 K...AT LEAST 150, and no more than 300 K. The album's definitely nowhere weak to me...he just has 4-5 filler tracks on it. But the first half of it is basically dope.

What's the least Snoop's ever sold?

1.3 million, on Top Dogg....

that album actually only sold 180,000 first week. It was coming off the disappointing Da Game album, and everyone wrote off Snoops No Limit music.

Bitch Please pushed that album to platinum.

Paid the Cost did the same numbers too....also had a very weak opening week that was salvaged by Beautiful
