a closer look at No Limit era Snoop
« on: March 21, 2012, 11:10:56 PM »
Lets dissect these 3 records.
Its safe to say Da Game is to be sold is a horrible album. Mostly down to the production,features and Snoop trying to revisit past glories on gin and Juice 2 and still a G thang. best track? possibly "slow down"
Classic No Limit era album cover is probably the best thing you could say about this project. P essentially took one of the games hottest talents and damn near flushed his career down the toilet
thoughts?

everything about Da Game was rectified on Top Dogg
Easily Snoops best since Doggystyle, production mainly handled outside No Limit,few No Limit soldiers verses and some classic heat
I can never decide which was better this or Last meal

The Last meal was a solid release
The only thing I have a problem with are the two timbaland produced tracks which are just flat out terrible, set it off also contains an atrocious Ice Cube hook.
Kokane is the MVP on this one, hes pretty omnipresent over the album and adds a new dimension to Snoops sound at that time
according to wiki

The album was leaked on the internet on December 1, 2000 by Suge Knight who made all tracks downloadable in MP3 from the official site of his and Snoop Dogg's former company Death Row Records, which featured links to tracks from both Tha Last Meal and Dead Man Walkin' albums, asking visitors to "take The Snoop Dogg Challenge" and decide "song for song" which is the better album

i dunno,
teh value in that album has kinda increased, if u compare it wit the other shit he dropped in recent years,,
still doenst take away from teh fact taht the album is terrible. the music was cool at times (i like KLC) and it had some nice songs like "Cant take the heat", but Snoop fucked it up wit his corny Silkk Shocker and Soulja Slim-impersonations.
when Percy swooped him up, n put him on the NL-roster, Snoop knew he was in the South, so instead of doin him, he adapted himself and his style,, and he failed in doin so..
but thats jus me, i guess

No Limit Top Dogg > Tha Last Meal > Da Game...

No Limit Top Dogg just had a good mix of producers and guests, including a lot of people he worked with before.  Even the Beats by the Pound songs were decent, as I sometimes finding myself wanting to play Down 4 My N's randomly.

Tha Last Meal was alright, but like someone else said, the Timbaland beats just don't go well with Snoop's flow and weren't even all that great for being Timbo joints.  The singles (aside from Lay Low) were among the corniest songs on there.  I don't count Wrong Idea as a single though, since I think the video was put out as a Bad Azz video since it was also on his album too.

Da Game just seemed rushed and had far too much No Limit on it, in terms of the album cover, guest appearances and production, which wasn't a good thing, as that No Limit style was starting to get played out while Cash Money was making their name more established as a New Orleans-based label, taking away some of No Limit's shine to the point where No Limit even started copying Cash Money, as they ditched the pen-and-pixel covers at some point while even switching up their production, evident when 504 Boyz dropped that "Wobble Wobble" single or whatever it was.

To me Top Dogg & Tha Last Meal are two of his best albums he ever made. I will pick those two over any garbage he dropped in the past decade
