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 AssassinsI 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:Skull Duggery - Mistakes In The Game ft.

no doubt they produced bangersbut Snoop was best over west coast 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 saw this Snoop albums ranking video a couple of days ago, Missionary and Iz It a Crime? ain't on it.
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'tthink they could come up with a classicthe 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
missionary does not belong with those other albums .. it's mediocre and doggfather is way better
Why many of yall hatin on "da game.." album?P.s. tha last meal was last snoop album + tha eastsidazSpare me the other albums
