Something that makes me sick:

[KURUPTION-81]

I have girls in my classroom.

I dunno maybe some of you guys are just way too young.  I have never seen a girl that didn't go crazy over Ain't No Fun at a club/bar/party.

[Trauma-san]

I have girls in my classroom. Well, the other day we had a discussion about music and all 3 girls I was talking to said they love Drop It Like It's Hot and Let's Get Blown. So I told them that these 2 songs are not half as good as Snoop's previous work, especially Drop It Like It's Hot. I told em to download previous Snoop Dogg albums, but they were like "no, cause these are the only good songs by Snoop". I'm like WHAT THE FUCK, Doggystyle is seen by many as the greatest album ever and you claim you don't even like songs like Who Am I and Gin & Juice? The saddest part of this story is that these girls are good examples of how people (or actually girls in general) look at rap nowadays: they refuse to listen to older music and they only listen to what is 'served' to them.

R.I.P. rap fans all over the world

Well, man the first thing you gotta realize is that music is entirely subjective.  That's just how it's going to be, these girls are NOT going to listen to Doggystyle, because they just don't want to. 

Second, you cannot hear ALL the good music in the world, man there's been album after album after album of good stuff come out for decades, none of us know much about the entirety of good music... so even suggesting 1 album is like a drop in the ocean, you can't get too worried about it.

Third, if you DO get mad at them for being ignorant about his earlier work, you're being hypocritical.  Musicians have been making great music since the days of Bach & Mozart, and every generation ignores the music of the past and focuses on the music of their era.  That's just how it is... it takes an amazing amount of talent for any artist or musician to stand out and pass the test of time, Snoop & Doggystyle, no matter how good they are, will not be talked about 200 years from now... he'll be forgotten.

People I know, like his old music, understand why it was so popular. However, when your at a party, Drop it like it's hot is well... whats HOT right now. Granted, if nuthing but a g thang comes on, the crowd will always love it, but you can't expect everyone to know every snoop song. You may not like NSync, but I bet a lot of people here could at least sing one Nsync song if it came on. When your drunk, high or whatever... if a catchy song comes on, you'll start singing... Drop it like it's hot is catchy. And yes, this song will be considered a Snoop classic...


plus there girls man. a girl never takes her music seriously. they tune into top 40 and that's it

Now what's exactly the problem? They don't like old rap? Every time they're playing songs like Pac's "California love" or House of Pain's "Jump around" in the club, everyone's going crazy. Maybe Snoop's old shit is just a bit too 'real' for the average pop audience to like it. In fact, I like "Drop it like it's hot", I won't deny. It's nothing gangsta or whatever, but it's a good song.

doggystyle is as catchy as you can get, so that's not the problem. they really don't give a shit about the lyrics, if they can even understand the lyrics at all.

I'll be straight up honest with you about this one. When I first heard the whole Doggystyle album (which was not in 1993 because back then I didn't even have any cd's or whatsoever, I guess I'm just too young) I only liked like half of the songs. Think of songs like "Tha shiznit", "Lodi dodi", "Serial Killa" and "Pump Pump" I didn't like back then. They just had to grow on me. They weren't funky enough or laid back enough in my ears to instantly like them, but damn sure I like them now. Same will go for the girls in your class. Put on Tha Shiznit and most likely none of them will like it. Just because you're a 'hardcore rap lover' doesn't mean they are. It will either have to grow on them, or they might not ever get to like it. Don't hate them for that, they didn't actively see the G-Funk era rise and all that. They're living now and they like "Drop it like it's hot". I guess I'm just special for liking music from back when I was only 3 years old, music I never grew up to. You can't really say The D.O.C. blew up huge in the Netherlands in 1989, can you? It's just, most people don't care enough to peep older albums from artists who have been around for a while now, they like now. That shouldn't be making you sick though.

yea it seems like a lot of girls arent as serious music as guys, its a sad generalization, even though i know a couple girls that are into music as much as me, but most, as the dude said, listen to the top 40, and consider themselves open minded about music casue they like nsync and nelly..

and btw, jsut in case yall give a fuck, its kinda of funny, the 1st time i heard doggystyle, like 2 years ago, lol i know, i loved it , and then like the more i bumped it, the more i loved it, i listened to the chronic, and exept nuthing but a g thang, it was ok, a lil too gangsta for me, i didnt understand it, cause the snoop is a lot more easy listening, but now, after listeing to the chronic sooo many times, i like it a lot more than doggystyle, but both are 2 of my fav rap cds..

Wow, you never heard doggystyle or chronic, until 2 years ago?  I saw in another thread that you have never heard daz RR&GB.  And you go into countless threads asking who very well known rappers are.  I'ma  bet that you became a fan of rap when eminem became popular.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I think the giveaway line when talking to a girl about music is "I like a bit of everything", once they say that you know they are just into whatever is hot in the charts. However, if they are really hot and you're in a club, what do you care what she likes, and long as shes shaking her ass to it. Its only really if if i'm looking to have a long term relationship with someone that chart music preference would ever put me off someone.
