a closer look at No Limit era Snoop

[DeeezNuuuts83]

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

Yeah, I think the last Snoop album I bought was Paid da Cost, which I was pretty disappointed with.  Also, Snoop just doesn't go well with DJ Premier beats either, plus the Neptunes beats used on this one were shitty (though they made up for it with Drop It Like It's Hot, whether you like it or not).

i like da game better than r and g and malice in wonderland

youve gotta respect P for how him and his label treated Snoop.
Your upcoming album, Tha Last Meal, is the last one you owe to both Priority Records and Master P's No Limit. There seems to be a message in the title.
The reason why I named it Tha Last Meal, is 'cause it's the last time these redneck label executives is gonna be eatin' off Snoop Dogg. And I'm not talkin' about Master P or No Limit. I'm talkin' 'bout Priority Records. I have nothing against P at all. If it wasn't for P and No Limit, I wouldn't be where I am today. If you think about it, No Limit is one of the best things that's happened to the rap industry. 'Cause before No Limit became so big, Death Row was the dominant force. Think about it this way: When niggas wanted to leave Death Row, there was violence and there was beef. They ran Death Row like a street company. No Limit, on the other hand, is run the way a business is supposed to be run.

Back when I was on Death Row . . . if a nigga wanted to leave, ma'fuckas would have the attitude, like, "This nigga's a bitch. Fuck that nigga." But that shit never happened with No Limit. Mystikal left, and there was no beef at all. Other people have left, and it was all cool. I'm leaving, and I'm gettin' nothin' but love. No Limit is full of positivity. Look what I did while I was on No Limit: I created my own record label [Doggystyle Records, distributed by TVT]. Master P didn't come to me and say, 'No Snoop. You can't do that.' He let me go about my business. P's a real nigga. That's why, with Tha Last Meal, I'm giving Master P the best record Snoop Dogg has ever put together, ever. It's because I feel he gave me the best chance in the world. He broke me free from those suckas on Death Row. He gave me a new life and helped me breathe easier. Show a nigga love, he'll show you love back.

But that's not all 100% true.  It is regarding their treatment of Snoop, but No Limit wasn't always polite toward artists who left, Mystikal in particular.  He left in 1998 or so, and on the intro of Master P's Ghetto Postage album (which came out in 2000), he goes "And all the fakers, we done got rid of 'em," which was toward Mystikal, and I think there were a few other references to him.  Additionally, in the end, No Limit's business practices weren't all that wise.  Remember that the record label itself went bankrupt (while P likely still had millions that he kept while letting the label go down), while they ended up just focusing on the main Miller family (Master P, Silkk, C-Murder and Lil Romeo) as far as releasing stuff.

But what I do give them credit for is how Master P supposedly visited Suge in prison when Snoop wanted to sign just to get his blessing... which is more than most people have done when dealing with Suge.

i cant take the heat alsways sounded good to me... loose ends shit

[Sir Petey]

the main flaw in TGITBTNS is the mixing.


they didnt know how to get snoops voice to mesh with the track. snoop wasnt confident enough in his own sound and needed a dre or someone like that to say hey go back and spit this line harder or say it different.

[TidyKris]

In my eyes Snoop's only got 4 albums:

Doggystyle
Tha Doggfarther
No Limit Top Dogg
The Last Meal

I dont recall any other album being released by him..........at all 

[KC-HOODSTA]

you guys are some fucking haters how is this album terrible???





classsiiiccc(C-Murder always on point with everything man)

Really? No Blue Carpet Treatment? Come on that's probably his second best album (imo it's Doggystyle>BLue Carpet>Doggystyle for his 3).

Da GAme is to be sold, Not Told was just pure fucking ass to me.

No Limit Top Dogg I Like better then the Last Meal but it's not by much. both albums where pretty enjoyable equally.

Co-sign.

After we discussed this last time I went back to the album and focused just on snoops mic game, and he sounds like ass on half the cd.

I still love the beats and the swag of the album tho,

What's that freestyle where snoop got crazy long hair, his no limit chain and a jumpsuit on? He's freestylin with a bunch of other dudes at the end of some tv show. Snoop came off as a monster on the mic back then, I was

pretty much


Snoop was still hungry with No Limit.....right now, he's beyond comfortable, eating off of effortless music. thats why rappers get worse as they get older...it's all matter of hunger.

g raps last shit let me down ive been a g rap fan since his 2nd album when i was in elementary. my uncles used to play it like it was the hardest shit they ever heard. his last album he didnt sound hungry and he seemed to be conforming his style a bit....sean p i got mad respect for, he dont cater to radio or anything he makes his gritty boom bap shit and wont compromise that for shit. imo hes the spokesperson for the working class 30 something hip hop crowd.
