That gets me to thinking, like I pointed out in that other thread I just posted in, that most of this board doesn't really know English too well. As a result, most of YOU don't know what the fucc Snoop is saying most of the time, so if the beat isn't immediately captivating, all of you simply dismiss the song out of hand.I think judging by the beats is actually the best way to do it. Save for a handful of tracks, Snoop always kicks pretty much the exact same shit on every verse nowadays - I've only heard half the album so far, but he's on his usual thing, though normally he has some interesting bits here and there, I haven't heard anything that stands out so far. Sounds like some lazy shit IMOPlus if you play the song and you immediately hate the beat, it'll take a LOT to make that song good, even the best verses in the world will only make it ok, not amazing, and we know Snoop very rarely comes with a WOW verse these daysLots of the tracks don't seem to be doing anything new either, the 'Cool' cover is dope, but otherwise it's some forgettable beats with half-assed raps over them, like just a bland hip-hop album. If it had been mostly singing, then yeah, it would have been different at leastI'm a big Snoop fan as well, but that means I know how well he can rap if he wants to, and this is some lazy shitSnoop doesn't need to rap about gangsta shit, or be on some different shit - all he needs to do is a) pick some dope-ass beats and b) kick some crazy interesting rhymes over them like on Doggystyle, with amazing flows and delivery, about whatever he likes - just make them dopeQuote from: hopeye on March 05, 2008, 03:46:46 PMi'm 25+ and I threw that cd out my window driving down the 405 fwy just wasnt doin it for me!

Quote from: Crip2Nite: South Central LA's HoOdSTAr on March 05, 2008, 03:47:30 PMI was wrong, I said there would be 6 or 7 decent songs on the album out of 21/22, but there is only 2 traccs worth listening too and even those aren't that great ...I find it hard to listen to an entire Snoop Dogg album lately..Shit is boring, but I guess the masses will love it.

So maybe we should let Snoop pay his bills with a couple of pop solo albums?excactly,more pop influences...like i said before in the other topics..when i listened to it..i heard other artists like jay z,nas,J-lo,and everything in the pop chart that has as artist "...ft.." on it, in between there are influences from back in the days when r&b/pop went populair.90's shit.I will wait patiently for his next project and skip this one.bytheway:i agree,let him pay some bills...you can blame him ..look what he did..with almost every artist there is(from beyonce,pussycatdolls,mariah carey,timberlake and even the red hot chilli peppers) he made a song or turn up at a concert and shows his face for 5 min.$$$$$$......!Quote from: GFunkin on March 05, 2008, 04:52:31 PMOn point 100% w/the review. Press Play is nice. That's about it. So maybe old Snoop won't be coming back. Fine. But why not mix the old with the new?? Why can't that be the new west? The hyphy, pop and country experimentations don't work. Let other rappers do that. Press Play takes the best of both worlds, produced by David Blake no less. Oh well. Quote from: villain on March 05, 2008, 05:51:39 PMi agree with chads opinion 100%to me this album is very hard to listen to all the way throughonly one song on here stands out, Press Play, maybe cus of Kurupt, but if the cd had more joints like that, then damn, we would have somethin serious thenthis feels very weakbut on the plussnoop did do it big, he wanted somethin fresh, different, innovative, original and thats what this is. but for real, this is not the album For Me, i think snoop dogg lost me around Last Meal.very commercial, that cool song was kinda cool, somethin different.Life of the party is another good joint, good too see Todd Shaw in action with the dogg, but shit, his last album was preety lame too.in my opinion, only 3 stand out jointslife of da party, press play, and sexual eruption (some might hate, but this song is fuckin tight)im preety sick of that tpain voice shit, ill admit i have not heard the album all the way through, heard bits in pieces of each song, but thats all i could handle listening too on this cd, bits and pieces. its hard to listen to it all the way through. Now with dre and detox on the way, and cube, lets hope that all the Hype around there albums is not a let down like this is (i know cube - raw footage is gona kick some serious ass, oshey always do it big)im sorry to say, im dissapointed in the dog in this cd's performanceps.another sidenote, i was not to happy with the last too short album.feels like a blind, deaf, crack head, handicapp put that shit togatherthat was harsh but shit, how the fuck do you go from the last meal to this ?if you ask me, i thought snoops last was aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite, i kinda liked it, thought that was the "bring it back" cd for snoop but shit,for all those who like it, whatever floats your boat man, i been bumpin snoop since 93 whats my name video first came on and my main complaint about this is i can not stand the beats/productions. i duno man, alot of hype around the team behind this project but shit, dj quik - 2 strikes homie in one year. first the fixxers then this.i think we need to let some new dudes shine on the leftcoast, i hope beach cruiser will be done proper.Quote from: Laconic on March 05, 2008, 06:57:18 PMI agree to a large extent. 22 tracks and about 6 (maybe) will stand the test of time (for most).Quote from: Soopa2Fly on March 05, 2008, 11:36:41 PMI got mixed feelings on this new album.

As a snoop fan I like this album but like every snoop fan i prefer his gangsta style ! As a hip hop fan i like this album because it's show the evlotuon of an artist and his capacity to find new to express him self with the music . He tried something different who is interesting for the most part ! So ok it's not a gansta record and we all prefer snoop pn the crp side but we have to admit that it's good and innovating hip hop album and it show snoop versality . And i know and will return to his gansta roots on anther joint so i support snoop when he do good music gansta or not ! When u lesson it with objectivy it's not snoop best effort but it's a good album with some fillers! Not a classi but a good album !Quote from: HighEyeCue on March 06, 2008, 06:28:57 AMChad is my homeboy even though I disagree completely with his review I definitely see his points as a fellow fan of Gangsta Rap. This is not a "Gangsta Rap" album by any means, for me it was the album Snoop had to make because I am at a point where I don't want to hear him spitting the same old that he was doing in his last album. Case in point the Snoop/Cube collabo on "BCT", I was so hyped to hear it and it dissapointed me so much I knew then that Snoop needed to do something different at least for me. He did it with this album. But Chad I definitely respect what you are saying and props for not being afraid to go "against the grain" but you always keep it real anyway 11Quote from: LyRiCaL_G on April 14, 2008, 09:54:25 PMAlso are the streets checkin for it? From what i be hearing people are only spinnin sets up sometimes.Shit i be hearing more usher and classic shit and "hot" singles rightnow than real rappers at the moment since nobody gettin that street hit out there...Also from my homies not many have even copped the album,others downloaded it and said it was nice and others thought it was aight...I think it'l be forgotton about quick even though i think snoop will tryto fight back and get as many sales as he can and keep promotingthe album as long as he can but sales wise the album is a failure as of right nowin the states so i think soon people will forget about the album.I think it'l go down as underratedpz^^ Well,you backed up your statement,I ainīt going to fight your opinion. ^^I havenīt checked sales,downloads,my friends opinions or any clubs lately.So Iīll keep my mouth shut .But I got one "official" review of the album that gave it 4/5. Underrated? Ego trippin review in XXL May 2008
Let me get it straight;-Youīre saying most people on the streets ainīt checking for it?-Or that you feel itīs a better album than the 50% hate it gets?
where do u get your 50% from?Imma assume that you just basically guessing since its probably from how you see things.I 'll guess that the album gets about 75% hate on dubcc......do i think its better than the 50-75% hate it gets on dubcc?Yes i do..you may ask me why but do i really need to go into depth about that?Not really right now since this is just basically a thread on how y'all rate snoops work.
What can I say? This is clearly not a album for me.The overall rating; 2/5
damn, I finally came across somebody who absolutely hates the album lmao...w/e though everybody got opinions... basically if you only like Snoop on his "gangsta" shit, then the album isn't for you
no this album really does sucks, snoop is made for gangsta rap, if not, its bad.
Totally agree chad. I see U

From what i be hearing people are only spinnin sets up sometimes.Shit i be hearing more usher and classic shit and "hot" singles rightnow than real rappers at the moment since nobody gettin that street hit out there...Also from my homies not many have even copped the album,others downloaded it and said it was nice and others thought it was aight...I think it'l be forgotton about quick even though i think snoop will tryto fight back and get as many sales as he can and keep promotingthe album as long as he can but sales wise the album is a failure as of right nowin the states so i think soon people will forget about the album.I think it'l go down as underratedpz

Good shit but alot of shit nonetheless!I pretty much made my point and its clear whether u agree with or not but the numbers u posted or the poll back up what I believe.well,we met on the half way.Neither was right 60% hate ainīt neither 75% or 50% So yes,more people hate it than love it. Quote from: LyRiCaL_G on April 15, 2008, 02:38:07 PMAs for the XXL comment and underrated...I hope you aint serious....I know u aint never gon use XXL to speak of reviews whether they official or not.XXL is probably the worst magazine when it comes to reviews, they just working there business...I know u know this! Well itīs a "official" review.Yes,thereīs rumors that Interscope (Geffen) is in there pockets.No I donīt take their reviews serious,but either way itīs there. So But I hope youīre not implying that the "60%" is underatingthe album just because you belong to the "40%" that loves it?Thatīs a little biased ainīt it?
