SNOOP DOGG - FROM THA STREETS 2 THA SUITES (Official Discussion)

[Proc pka KP]

I'd say 7/1

I'm still holding out hope for the album with just Snoop and Dr. Dre (no features): Breakup To Makeup. They really need to go out with a bang before they hang it all up.

If only they'd listen and give everyone just that.

good job on the video. nice way to pay hommage. same concept as Black Eyed Peas 6 years ago with them vinyl artworks:

That Black Eyed Peas video is fresh! They took the classic album cover concept further and actually switched beats and rap styles to match them.

Snoop should of done the same, decent as it is though.

Just looked into the WEB FLAC version of this album and damn, they actually put that DJ Drama mixtape MP3 file of "Look Around" on his official album. That track was first featured on the "Blue Carpet Treatment - Mixtape" back in 2006 (same length and tags by DJ Drama as this album version). A year later, he "officially" released the untagged, high quality version on his "Unreleased Heatrocks" project. The full track's length is 4:28 compared to the 3:39 mixtape / album version.

This is what the files look like in comparison:

2021 album version (FLAC):


2007 "Heatrocks" version (MP3):


That's embarassingly bad and pulls down the whole project for me. Really shows that Snoop and his camp don't care for releasing some quality material for their fans at all.

I'd like to add that you can also hear the beginning of "Vato", when Look Around ends. It barely lasts a second, but it's still a little funny.
The autotune intro on "Left My Weed" is off-key too, they used the wrong settings for that...

I don't get it, it was their idea and then nothing. That would resurrect his rap career.

That Beats & Rhymes tour Dr Dre was talking about... whatever happened to that???

I don't get these guys. All they have to do is do it and everyone would be all in.

Still Smoking tour. All hype. Dre is afraid to do anything as his standards are so high.

I don't think that Dre wants to make a full album with Snoop.
He wants to work with new fresh artists, not a 50 years old washed rapper who needs DOC to write his lyrics...

And Dre is too expensive, I don't know how much he would charge but I don't think that Snoop would invest at the risk to loose money because of insuffisant album sales.
It's unfortunately too late for a Snoop and Dre album.

I disagree, it may be too late for a Dre/Snoop album however a full LP produced by the Aftermath staff is what could bring back is credibility as a rapper.

Dude literally made a freestyle called "world tour" lmao, he most likely lost interest in that idea a year later.

Matter of fact, Snoop said that he still wanted to do the show  in 2019 but Dre always backed down because he "doesn't have a record out right now".

After seeing the credits, I’m not surprised the best sounding track on the album (“Sittin on Blades”) was done by Battlecat and Terrace Martin
