I agree with the fact that he still had the talent as songs like "Hooked" and "Still A G Thang" proved that Snoop when provided with the right producers for him was as good as everhe really didn't mesh that well with No Limit production however so that would bring his rating down for mekind of agree with this...havent really been into Snoops music somewhat since BCT but really since Tha Last Meal
TLM was my last snoop album i bought.the sound pattern was already changing foe the bad i remember one of the guys say: "its not even hip hop" lolsure it had songs like "yall gon miss me"
yeah, he still had the skills but there was a falloff in the quality of music BCT is probably his best album post Last Meal
yeah, he still had the skills but there was a falloff in the quality of music
Yeah, exactly. I was disappointed in Paid The Cost. So Last Meal was the last great Snoop solo. I enjoyed Reincarnated, but that was like a Rasta side project. Yeah, that's right he still had the skills and the swagger as well. He was still gangsta Snoop, he hadn't really became the goofy, playful Snoop yet. The first bootleg album I ever copped (other than 2pac) was that Snoop "Fuck Death Row" bootleg which was basically his 3rd project that he had been working on for Death Row, minus the "Midnight Love" cut and a few others mixed in. "Midnight Love" was dope. He was still making some intriguing music, they were hyping "When Doggy Dogg Comes... you better answer" the Val Young track was considered for a single and hyped in his Source cover article when he was stranded from Death Row and "Ride On"(Caught Up) was making its rounds. The period of Snoops career is kind of a novelty... (also check Kurupt and Snoop's second verse, fire!)His flow is impeccable on this joint.."...Paper an moveI'm with click on a trip3 day cruise...gettin low.....hoes hollertop dollar with the gold flee collarDippin in the blue impala"Then he flipped that last line for the hook in his lead single for No Limit later.Another dope cut from that same era was his lead single for Bad Azz album, his flow and skills are all up to par...had just got my license and had a 1,000 dollars worth of speaker/amps and I wasnt doing shit else but bumpin this shit all around after school on $1 a gallon gas
top dollar with the gold flee collarDippin in the blue impala"disnt know that...just caught it
Yeah that was dope how he flipped that little line from Caught Up into big single for Da Game album
Da Game could have been a much better album...if he had Meech and Soopafly and whoever else he was working with west coast wise in '98 do most of the beats...then have like a random No Limit joint here and therebut Master P had other plans and we got songs like "Woof"
Well they were trying to milk the cash cow for everything it was worth. Did you know that as bad as Da Game album was it actually sold a bit more than Doggfather?...So at that moment the No Limit formula seemed unstoppable so all they needed was to put Snoop's name on the front of the album and it was a guaranteed winner double platinum. I wouldn't be surprised if Master P's original plan was all No Limit music and that Mia X joint that was the second single was actually just given to Snoop to be his first single--but Snoop either insisted or proved to P he had a better lead single with Meach's "Still A G Thang".
yeah it went double platinum pretty quickNo Limit was on fire commercially back in '97-98...it seemed like every issue of The Source they had adds for 3 or 4 new albums
snoops skills never changed what changed was the producers guiding him
Yeah he's not exactly the type of rapper to do an album like Nas first Lost Tapes album where I think he did every verse and hook and no big name producers
