Snoop Da Game is To Be Sold Not Told — Appreciation Thread!!

[HighEyeCue]

I don't know what made me listen to this again over the weekend but I'm glad I did...I was one of those Snoop fans who bashed it when it came out for abandoning his west coast sound but Snoops flip flopped so many times since then including reggae, gospel. some pop and rhythm and blues that I appreciated that this was on some good old fashion southern hip hop

Exactly — considering all his flip flopping since — it feels more authentically Snoop than it did when it came out.  I mean it sounds like lyrics he penned himself, to accurately describe what he was thinking and feeling at that time in his life/career.

Because in 98' rap still had the concept that being real was more important than having a team of ghost writers ✍️ come up with "bars".  Even if the lyrics weren't that great at least it was authentically Snoop.

I believe Bad Azz, Tray Dee and Soopafly ghost wrote on that album
