Still a g thang came out in 98 not 96 

Doggfather to me is a perfect album. Poohs production is top notch. It’s just a completely different type of album.

I don’t disagree that the best songs were left off…but there were bangers like Gold Rush, Blueberry, Downtiwn Assassins

I also prefer the OG Doggfather



"Gold Rush" and "BlueBerry" seem like LBC Crew tracks donated to the project.  "Downtown Assasin" was more influenced by Daz and Tray Dee, it also felt like something donated to the album.

tbh I think "Da Game" was a mismatch of styles between No Limits Beats By The Pound production/No Limits crew and Snoops laid back flow

No Limit / Beats By The Pound overproduced, they almost released a new album every week. I believe KLC said in this youtube interview that he wanted to take his time with Snoop's "Da Game..." but Master P was the boss, so... It's been over year since I seen it, but I believe it's in the second episode based on the title.







No Limit / Beats By The Pound had some heat, so I believe with a little more time and dedication they could cook up something better and beats more fitting Snoop.

Like these:

Cool I’ll check out the episode on Snoop.  Would be nice to hear something more in depth about recording with snoop in the no limit days.

These guys were really talented to be turning out gold and platinum albums like a factory but I always said it was “fast food” it was the McDonalds of rap, because it tasted good but the quality was low and you’d pay for it later.

That’s another way of saying it didn’t have much replay value.  The first joint on their albums would always get you hype and then they’d have the single somewhere on the album, and then maybe one solid album cut and rest sounded like filler after initial play through

But they knew melodies for sure it had good melody in their beats

Sure, but that's not what I'm saying. "Da Game..." could been way better if No Limit / Beats By The Pound took their time, not giving Snoop the wak ass beats even below the Beats By The Pound standard. The only Snoop solo albums I bother to rank is:

-Doggystyle (1993)
-No Limit Top Dogg (1999)
-Tha Last Meal (2000)
-Tha Blue Carpet Treatment (2006)
-Missionary (2024)

The rest is mostly forgettable.

I just don't think their styles meshed even if they took a couple of years to produce it...that's not saying it couldn't have been better but I don't
think they could come up with a classic

the Snoop formula for most of his albums after TBCT is a a lot of filler and a few bangers...but you could say that for a lot of artists

Expecting a classic is probably too much, but the way the album is now it's not listenable.

I’d say this list is bang on. If Snoop just took the best tracks from Top Dogg and Tha Last Meal, combined them into one album, he’d have a really really solid follow up to Doggystyle.

Quality control is his issue.
