Listening to The Chronic and Doggystyle makes me sad...

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Snoop is a legend, end of.  He's put out enough decent material over time to overshadow some of the weaker cuts he's done.

"over time" is the key phrase. He's put out 10 solo albums and his first one is the only one I can call a great album. Of course he has a few hot songs every album, but its aggravating that he can't be consistent and come out with good albums.

I would say Last meal and Topp Dogg are great West Coast albums

I wouldn't. Last Meal is above average but still no where close to Doggystyle.

[Sir Petey]

Anybody who say Snoop ain't spit fire like he did on Doggystyle just hasn't listened to enough Snoop Dogg.  Doggystyle was his best album but nearly most of his other material has been good enough to hold it's own.

whats your real name fam.


your that emo radio tube faggot aint you?

Snoop's voice and style changed pretty suddenly and hasn't gone back since.

I remember buying All Eyez On Me the day it came out and thinking, holy shit, this will be AMAZING, 2Pac and Snoop on the same track, and then listening and thinking, yeah, it's good, but that's the not the same Snoop from Doggystyle.

Then when Doggfather came out I was like, what the hell is going on here, his delivery is really restrained now, not as strong and he does these annoying little adlibs.

And he's had the same style since - I got every Snoop album since then hoping he'd return to form, but he never has... I've kinda given up on him getting to that level again. He's made a few good tracks since Doggystyle, but as an MC, he hasn't come close to the stuff he was doing back then.

The thing is, from his perspective, he doesn't need to. Reading his autobiography, it's like he used to practice all the time before Chronic and Doggystyle as he wasn't famous and had nothing else to do. Once he got famous, he just sits around smoking all day, not rapping, not advancing his style, just chilling and calling himself the boss.

So I think Doggystyle is the best we'll ever hear Snoop - he's not hungry anymore, and he has no one pushing him, and he doesn't need to push himself because he's got a comfortable life now, and he's not a musical perfectionist like Dre.

Agreed. Plus he knows he can still sell, make money and doesnt even need to rap good to have a hit song (Beautiful among plenty of others). He can make money just off his name and the character he has become in the media and general publics eyes. The dude does have charisma and can be a funny man, no wonder he isnt as motivated and hungry. Hell if i was him i'd probably chill back alot more too.

Somebody should ask him why he doesnt deliver rhymes the same way he used to back in the day, in a way that perhaps wont offend him lol

hahhaha. I got every Snoop album. Some good some bad, but to be honest alot of it was due to good production. His lyrics arent where he fails. But his delivery and fire in his voice is missing.

Compare this

Go listen to Tha Shiznit. Then go listen to his latest song. He is no longer agressive, he is just laid back

[D-Nice]

Snoop still got the voice and flow. I noticed more or less depending on the subject matter are you going to get the more aggressive flow and tone from him but when he does, he still is one of the best.

He needs to do it more often. can you point out the songs he does i think was like one on Blue Carpet Treatment

[R1ZE]

Snoop falls off and comes back every few years. From his Chronic - Dogg Food period he was great, then he fell off until Top Dogg, really shining on Tha Last Meal... then he got lazy again.. on BCT he went back to really spitting but he's slummin it again now

I like Sexual Eruption... i fucked to that song so Ego Trippin is an automatic great west coast album to get high too just like every snoop cd

i just wish Snoop would get Warren to a great direction cus Warren's album came a bit too weak and i still never heard any new Nate Dogg.

im looking forward to Malice in Wonderland

[Jaydc]

Theirs a reason no other rappers metnion snoop in their top five.

[AGeesta]

When snoop comes down here ill be smoking out at the American Bank Center watching his ass

i remember when he would hold it down at Concrete street with Tha eastsidaz and everyone from Dogg House


he killed it with game in 07
Game put a good performance but not as good as Snoops

my homie and his wife that are stationed in Boston saw Snoop kill it over there in the east coast too


Snoop holds it down

[eNgIeS]

theres no denieing the fact he doesnt spit with the same hunger and passion he did in 93. Just listen to the songs and compare the voice. He's laid back now and does funny ass adlibs

[YSH]

dont cry

[eNgIeS]

dont cry

Im not crying just stating the truth

I'm not even dissing Snoop now so dont you cry. I still think Snoops aight, but i know alot of people say he fell the fuck off after DOggystyle and dont listen to him no more. I at least appreciate his newer stuff somewhat, but theres no denying he aint the same. Its fact. Its like the fact we breath in oxygen, its fact that Snoop doesnt rap the same no more

[FreeMac]

Snoop just got lazy around 1996. His rhymes became nursery compared to the harmonizing flow of Doggystyle. He does have some bangers after "Doggystyle" though (No Limit Top Dogg, Tha Last Meal, and even Doggfather)..never really fucked with anything after that.
