From Dogg to Lion: Analyzing the Gimmick

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Snoop sold his soul a long ass time ago, now his master wants him to shucke and jive to a new "one world" tune.

Hammer meets nail.

 I just listened to the album and i was surprised. Was way better than i expected. Dont get me wrong, i hope this is a one off and he goes back to Snoop dogg but its actually a well produced album and Snoop dose sound good on some of the songs, despite the fact that the album dose rely heverly on guest features/singers.
 Its a positive feel good album. You would need to be in the right mood of course and i have had a few drinks. iam older if i were younger i prolly woulda hated it.
 Iam surprised at the single selection. I dont think the singles were the right choice, with guests like Akon and Miley they could chart and some of the songs actually sound like radio songs or club hits so i think he fucked up there.
 I dunno, after one listen i didn't mind the album.
 Only Snoop could hope to come close to pulling something like this off. He did not a bad job.
 Hopefully he goes back to rapping after this but this is ok for something different.

the album is good and about peace and love
why hate?

This.

He makes an album about shooting bitches and fucking hos in the ass and it's great.  Tries some positive shit and gets clowned.

Good for him for making positive music, I think the gripe is that most people don't wanna hear Snoop do reggae music.

Not true for me, I'll listen to anything. Only gripe I have with it is that it's not great music

Nah, that's fair. What I was getting at was that I thought the first single sounded like crap and the whole thing seems to forced and gimmicky that I'm not interested. At the end of the day music quality is all that really matters for me as well. Anyways, I had no expectations for it but people here seem to like it so maybe I'll check it out.

It's worth a stream but for me it's 'mixtape quality' (you could say amateurish)

5.5/10

snoop is full of shit

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

He's pathetic. Made millions off of advocating violence, murder, pimpin, etc. When that got played out, his masters told him to switch it up to a new character. And now he's saying he's Bob Marley reincarnated? Bob Marley and Snoop don't even belong in the same breath.

Bob Marley was never a fraud and spoke from the heart with his music and fought for the betterment of his people. Snoop tap dances to whatever tune his masters tell him. He's a disgrace to reggae and Rasta culture for exploiting it.

 lol at the dave letterman video.
 ^i dunno, it could also be called "growing up"
 But yeah comparing himself to someone so big i dunno.
 I way prefer him as a rapper but the album was kind of enjoyable. See how i feel when i give it a second listen, it did sound more pop than reggae to me though, overall.

I feel the same, I thought it was going to be a corny gimmicky album, but I've been surprised. Some songs are weaker than others, and does rely on guest singers to carry snoop a bit, but I have to admit I've been  bumping it heavily for the last few days.

Snoop's bullshit reggae album wont sell shit! the only reason snoop is popular and is rich is because of Snoop Dogg thats like Metallica switchin up doin a rap album. lmao the only reason Snoop is a star is cuz of his west coast gangsta style rap your a rapper snoop not a singer lmao be a fan doesnt mean you have to go tap into someone elses genre of music stick to the music you know! your album sales will be shit compared to your hip hop albums thats for sure!

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]
