How long can snoop pretind that he is still a crip ?how long is going to be smacking hoes ?when is he going to grow up ?rappers get boring so thats why i stopped buying snoop,any dpg shit, xzibit......etc...they might only be good for collabs but nit albums. Take it groupies i dont give a fuck.i put the old west behind me now i only look forwardthe gameyaboybushopomar conejojay roctechnique and all the new west coast cats.Game-kind of a weak voice, no natural talent but definitely puts effort forth to make bangin recordsbishop-if hittman looked like him, would not be signed to the mathOmar-nice flow and lyrics, can't stand his voicejay roc-same thing as Omar, with an even clumsier flowtechniec-sick as shit, but ain't this dude been around since the mid 90s?glasses-nice lyrics and flow, whack voice...what's with all these raspy motherfuckers?ya boy-tired ass topics, cookie cutter ass verse strucute but a decent voice flow and lyrics, all his songs sound like singles but that makes for a weaker album imosnoop-regardless of what he is talking about, his voice is a musical instrument. a weapon of funk destruction. smooth man, his flow is unmatchable.Last i heard, snoop went up to sacramento to protest tookie's death. last i heard Snoop lives in so cal with a medical marijuana prescription and there's a canna club owned by the crips in LBC...since snoop doesn't live in san fran, my guess is his source is LA area medical marijuana clubs. last i heard snoop puts on former gangsters all the time in his record and his businessses.....he may not be slangin rocks and bussn caps but dude is a crip.no one has listened to west coast rap for content since cube last record before war disc. west coast rap at its best: funky music, east coast rap: poetry. no one is listening to snoop for poetic insight, his shit sounds good. that's why we like it.though i agree with bishop, snoop should put out some of his more deep songs that he's made that he hasn't released-T

Quote from: Lion King on April 18, 2007, 02:01:14 AMI thought this was really gonna blow up - I mean Snoop & Dre together again and Nate on the hook. But it is barely getting any airplay + I haven't seen the video once on TV!!!Is this officialy a flop!?It's a shame though cause the track is hot...Lol, Snoop is not what he used to be (at least for mainstream's definitions), nobody will cop his albums anymore and Nate, man nowadays people forget all about him. If SNoop left Akon on the hook it woulda blown up much bigger, like it or not.Imo the lyrics on R&G: The Masterpiece really hurted Snoop's reputation. Like someone else said before me, half the people buying albums nowadays is girls and women, and that was the "group" who really was discriminated on Snoop's album (Can U Control Your Ho anyone ) and yeah that was definately a big blow for Snoop's reputation. And next to that all his courtcases from the last year(s) arent helping him either. Imo, only Akon could have made Boss' Life a succes, and im not gonna discuss wether he has skill or not, all i say is Akon, right now, is immense popular in the mainstream, and everything with his name will sell at least a bit. Plus the fatc that the "mainstream" doesnt check for Dr. Dre, and seriously what reason could they possibly have?? Dre's last beats werent bad, but nothing groundbreaking or really special. The beats were all good (on Jay-Z's album, Snoop's album, the Stat Quo song on The Re-Up, Young Buck's album etc.) but come on, those were no Deep Cover's or Xxplosive's, and y'all know it.You might think im a fan of mainstream rap by saying this. But i can be really clear about this. I like good music, and i dont care if it's underground or mainstream or whatever other words there are. All i say is that if you wanna get good album sales, you have to make a album which appeals to the wishes the mainstream has. And Snoop made a jewel with his last album, but nothing mainstream worthy.And half the people in here are hipocrits cause i know they gonna reply with "fuck the mainstream" but yet the same people making such statements are obsessed with albumsales. It is what it is, i cant help it.

nate comes and goes, he's been hot, been not, got hot again, is not again, may get hot again with the right singleANYWAY-90% of people don't know what a producer is, let alone KNOW that Dr.Dre produced this.-Would have blown up if Dre was in the video. This is Dre's fault.-People want to see snoop/dre rap together. it's a media frenzy, and even people who don't know shit about shit remember G thang.Xander, LMAO at you thinking anybody but us is evaluating dre's production as he releases shit. they don't even know that dre produces(women that buy music)Noone, including radio stations, knows that Dre is involved with the track. People have short attention spans, burn the albums so they don't have the credits to read and guess what...even the people that did buy the record, don't read the credits.toss a dre verse on there and dre in the video and MTV would have been ON itdre is sucha popular figure, he doesn't even like to rap but he does because people demand it so muchhe was probably mixing 50's two completed albums so was too busy to be in the video.bottomline, 50's fault.-T

Good post. I agree with most of what you wrote, maybe not all, but at least you took the time to think out a reasonable argument and tried to be objective instead of just getting emotional like 99% of all hip hop fans. I'm gonna check for your posts in the future now. Oh, and same for Tanj's posts iin this thread, too.
i wasn't laughing at you my dogg, it was the idea. you cool.anyway, i wasn't saying make it clear dre produced it, I'm saying put him in the video. it'll get more spins from the powers that be. the powers that be (companies involved) will give it more love because it's dre/snoop and the bitches/masses will feed on what's fed to them.-T
Dubcnn: You got me wrong, I wasn’t criticizing the song homie…Snoop: No I’m just giving you, so you’ll know, so the viewers can know! A producer has a sound that’s identified with him. So that’s an identification that’s saying that Dr. Dre really put his hands on that track! I didn’t hear “Stan” on that song when I first heard it. That song didn’t remind of “Stan”, it made me wanna start talk shit about round here! It ain’t safe to leave the house, don’t fuck around round here! Niggas will put you in the ground, don’t fuck around round here! That’s what I was on! I wasn’t on no “Stan, write me a letter, I wanna come see you! You’re my favorite fan!” I wasn’t on that bullshit! I’m on gangsta shit homie!1) Dr. Dre did not even produce Stan2) I wasn't on that bullshit- diss. It's obvious by his tone changing in his voice he don't like the song, but the beat is cool.3) I'm black and thought he was at the least clowning Eminem.
i like all of the snoop collabos on TBCT better than lay low and drop it like its hot. master p and goldie loc whackify the song, and drop it like it's hot is cool but it ain't dre level at all to me. it sounds sillily synthy but whatever.i love round here, i tell you man those vocal melodies give it that extra oomph.also, what do you mean white kids start taking it over the top? i really despise the fact that racism against blacks makes someone an automatic assholes but diss any other race here and it's ok. it's a dumb double standard imo.you're gonna tell me that eminem imitation wasn't dissing? "I'm a gangsta, i don't listen to eminem" records is an insult to Dre imo. but whatever.-T
