Favorite Songs off Snoops Classic Da Game Is To Be Sold

[love33]

What are some of your favorite songs off of Snoop's multi-platinum classic which sold over 3 million albums "Da Game Is To Be Sold Not To Be Told."  This was Snoop's No-Limit Debut album with Master P, the top cat in the industry in 1998.  Snoop proved his critics wrong by selling all the records and in the interviews he told everyone this was like a "Doggystyle 2."  I used to bump this album straight through over and over again when it came out.  Some of my favorite songs are "Snoop World" w/ Master P, "Gin and Juice II," "Show Me Love," "Don't Let Go," "Hustle and Ball," "Tru Tank Dogz" w/ Mystikal, "Watcha Gon Do" w/ Master P, "Picture This" w/ Mia X, and of course the smash hit "Still A G Thang."  Damn, he sold so many records man it was such a classic everyone was on there who was hot at the time like Master P, C-Murder, Mia X, Silkk The Shocker, Mystikal, Soopafly and Daz produced "Hoez, Money, & Clout."  Can you say 3 million albums sold classic? Snoop was killin em.

lol for real that album was garbage. . .

[love33]

are  you kidding me?? This was Snoop's album where he stepped out of the shadows of Death Row.  People were all sayin he can't sell records without suge knight and dr. dre and he stepped out of the shadows and did 3 million and dropped that "still a g thang."

I just got done bumpin "D.O.G.'z Get Lonely 2" with Master P, Silkk, and Big Pokey.

This album sold waaaaaaay more than "Ego Trippin."  Snoop even said this was his version of "Doggystyle 2" on MTV.

This is as classic as The Massacre.

[Hatesrats™]

Not a Classic, IMO

Snoop World

Doggz Gonna Get Ya
Hoes, Money & Clout

[Okka]

This is as classic as The Massacre.

Da Game Is To Be Sold > The Massacre


"Still A G Thang" is a classic track though, been always bangin that. "Gin & Juice II", "I Can't Take The Heat" and "The Game Of Life" are great songs too.

LOL @ this album being considered a classic.

Indeed. This record is far from being a classic. He sold those 3 million copies because the name ''Snoop Dogg'' was established in the rap game after his first two records went multiple platinum. This record sold because of the name ''Snoop Dogg''  printed on the front cover and No Limit was hot in 1998. This is considered the worst album in Snoop's catalog.

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

Actually that album not so bad at all, No Limit/Southern influence all over the disc but still an aight cd

This was not true at all.  Let me take you on a journey back to 1997.  Snoop was trying to get "Smokefest" released on Death Row Records (it was later released as "Dead Man Walkin" years later) and Suge didn't think that the quality was good enough for a Snoop Doggy Dogg album at the time and that he had slipped off lyrically a bit.  Then Snoop ran to the Long Beach Telegram and said he feared for his life and he wanted to leave Death Row Records.  Suge sold his contract over to Master P at No Limit Records and Tha Dogg Pound stayed at Death Row Records.  Big rumors were going around that Snoop had lost his touch and that he ran to the South and he needed Master P to sell records.  Snoop was said to have been washed up since Tupac had ran Death Row before his death.  Snoop got on MTV and said this album is going to be a "Doggystyle 2" coming soon.  He dropped that "Still A G Thang" and everyone ran to the store to buy that album.  He then followed it up with "Gin and Juice II" and a slew of singles.  He dropped the "Doggy" from his name and became Snoop Dogg.  He said this was his biggest album on MTV at the time where he had truely matured as an artist and that's why he dropped the "Doggy" (along with the fact that Suge owned that name).  Snoop got with Beats By The Pound and dropped a classic and he answered his critics with 3 million albums sold and proved that he wasn't just another artist on Death Row and that he still had it without Dre or Suge.

I thought "Da Game Is To Be Sold..." was way better than "Tha Last Meal," "Ego Trippin," and "The Blue Carpet Treatment."  I think The Blue Carpet Treatment is his worst by far.  "Dead Man Walkin" is better than "The Blue Carpet Treatment."  "No Limit Top Dogg" was his best album on NL Records and "Da Game..." is second.

"Still A G Thang," "Snoop World," "Gin & Juice II," and "Woof" are all tight tracks -- and D.O.G.z Get Lonely 2

Snoop Dogg -- D.O.G.z Get Lonely 2 ft. Master P, Silkk The Shocker, & Big Pokey  -- One of Snoop's best tracks ever..
Snoop Dogg -- Still A G Thang

[BlueSwan]

Great Snoop albums:

1. Doggystyle
2. Tha Last Meal
3. Tha Blue Carpet Treatment

The rest are more or less garbage, although there are some cool cuts on "Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Boss". "R'n'G", "No Limit Top Dogg", "Da Game Is To Be Sold", "Ego Trippin'" and "Tha Doggfather" are all rather weak, IMO.
