Smoother than usual but would love this more than waiting on Dre and Snoop to figure their shit out… even the Batman track grew on me .. Lady of Rage spazzes on that shit and the smoothness and sample are trippy … snoop needs to get with one producer a year or some shit he can drop one with primo I would be pay for that …

I was hoping for a more energetic track, like The One And Only. But it's still a very good joint. I'm glad they connected again.

The one producer a year (a year might be too soon if you really want quality) is a dope idea. I believe Pharell is his musical match, would love for them to go back in but on some hip-hop shit.

Not something that I'll listen to a lot, but I appreciate.

The beat is nice but Snoop said a lot of nothing. Like he just put a bunch of random bars together.
-
It maybe some random bars saying nothing but it's a really cool track.
'Tha Shiznit' was some random bars/freestyle and that was a dope track (i'm not comparing the 2 as Tha Shiznit is a classic, but the principle is the same)

Pretty good, but was hoping for Snoop to flow a bit quicker over a Premo beat.
Nonetheless, it’s great that these two legends are still connecting and putting in work.

when has Snoop really said much of anything though?
lyrics have always been the weakest part of his repertoire

you are right
Tha Shiznit and Gz And Hustlaz are 2 or my favorite Snoop tracks...and they were both freestyles 8)

Aite...some points were made here lol :hubie:
-
Good to hear these 2.
Im not a big fan of Snoops “lazy flow.” Too many pauses in the vocals.
If Nas came in, he wouldve rapped at twice the speed and vocal output.
-
Here’s a Premier track from a few years ago with Snoop…Russ isn’t terrible on it and KRIT kills it and so does Snoop…

Love it. Some laid bacc ish. 8)
What's this from? Missionary? Would make a nice album cut in between the singles.

This album from Russ was some bangers on it. Production is dope. 8)
On-topic: Didn’t like that new Snoop track too much, expected more from Primo & Snoop.

It’s funny I was expecting Nas to rip through the Kanye beats and he seemed more smooth and calm the opening track and the Cops Shot the Kid sample were needing more energy and it’s odd
I don’t know maybe that’s where some producers like Dre win, by producing vocals and tone/delivery .. even Muggs/GZA they had crazy chemistry and the album they did is a classic to me only flaw to me is the Delivery of GZA at times seems way off and slow to the tracks …

Yep.. and it got Warren on it. This was like the first time they linked. JD has always been such good friends with DPG which is funny when you consider they dissed him in "What Would U Do".
I banged the fuccin hell out of that first JD album when it dropped. Tru headz like you and I will remember that that album dropped the same day mid summer 98' that Nate Dogg's album dropped. That was a great day at the record store. The industry was very healthy then and it was summer, a lot of my friends who were only casual hip-hop fans bought Nate's album. So I don't know how it didn't go gold. Supposedly JD's went platinum but nobody I know bought that one. Obviously we are on dubcc so me like everyone else we consider Nate's a classic, but JD's album I think I loved even more on the day it dropped, I was expecting more from Nate.
That opener on JD's album with Nas is fuccin fire. I didn't even like Nas much in those days that was one of the first songs other than the obvious "If I Rule The World" that got me into Nas. Then I always hated Jay-Z but "Money Ain't A Thang" banged like a mutherfucker on my serwin vega/polk speakers $800 speaker system (good money in 1998) I was rolling with as a 16 year old.

Bruh my summer exactly! I remember won’t pumped for JD album he had heat (I thought the JD & Snoop banger ‘Wanna Party’ was going to be in there cuz it made me get in to that shit)
But damn I pulled up and to my surprise a double Nate Dogg album in the front of Sam Goody I was like wtf! I bought Nate.
I stayed on that when I got out the store I wanted to focus on Nate so my bro and homie bumped while I grooved on the bus to the movie theater to JD. Yes, Nas verses on the intro were flames.. ending the story at the end with So So Def knows how to party made me rewind to hear that last verse.
I fucked with Nas already cuz I bought the Firm off of the Casino style album cover and they were playing phone tap like crazy when I walked in.
Protectors of 1472 was already talked about in The Source mag with their Fat Tape and I was like where the fuck is the King T album and ended up with Def Squad El Niño cuz the register kid was calming me down from showing him the Source magazine with the release date on it… and he said check this out
Bro but yeah fa sho Nate Dogg and JD and Jays Volz 2 was huge at that time…. Memory lane

The protectors one is ill, that's how i want to hear Snoop move on a east-coast beat...uptempo.

Damn homie where you been man shit... I think we were twins in summer 98', hell...
I don't know how you were surprised by Nates album though. You must not have had BET because it was advertised heavily on Rap City. So I knew Nate was droppin. But fuccin finally someone else that was at the record stores in summer 98' like "where the fucc is King T at" I even pulled the damn Source magazine off the shelves and showed this dumb ass alternative lesbian bitch at the register, beggin her, "but look it says its in stores now" as if she had some mythical powers to make Dre actually put out albums on time and the album would suddenly appear.
They hated me at that record store, blockbuster music, they allowed you to sit and actually listen to most cd's and they had all the magazines so I would loiter their store for hours. They didn't mind if you were one of them but I wasn't into whatever the hell they were listening to Godsmack or techno, Moby, I don't know what it was they liked 30 year old rejects..
..but I digress.. the part that got me was I was also fooled I thought it was that Men in Black joint Snoop had with JD wanna party that was bumpin' and one of the first times Snoop branched out from the West and before he became a shill for money and oversaturated. So it was the wrong version of "Wanna Party" the Usher Track, but that Premeir joint was dope, my homies loved the Krazy Bone joint, so much good shit on there, features, it deserved the million in sales it got and yes, have to admit I was bumpin the Mariah Carey joint as well..
Come on homie, of course I had the Firm album but not because of Nas i had it because it was Aftermath and Dre and the album was a big disapointment at the time the nobody denied "Phone Tap."
But to be honest I even thought Jay D held his own on the mic and I was a fan of a lot of his stuff, talented producer, like the Kriss Kross teenager Young Rich and Dangerous album he basically did that whole record for them and then they just replaced his vocals with their own that album gave me all the game I needed in middle school I was a King. And he did the MC Lyte joint from Sunset Park---shit man it sounds odd to say now but Jay-D was probably one of my top 5 favorite artists outside of the West Coast in those days I was really only a fan of him and Outkast, and then probably a couple others I'm forgettin like Lost Boyz some shit like that

Infinite, the Firm album was disappointing but I actually dug the Dre tracks other than "Phone Tap" as well...its the Trackmasters produced tracks that I wasn't feeling too much....then again I always enjoyed "Nas Is Coming" when a lot of people here in NY criticized it calling it the weakest link of IWW...really there is not a Nas/Dre collab that I didn't like, was a huge fan of both and they could do no wrong in my eyes during that time period
-
My favourite Snoop and Premo cut is definitely The One and Only off of Paid the Cost…classic Snoop flow on this one.

Sounds like you, me, and this cat soopaman were living parallel lives in those days—same age, and high off the same music loving it in real time as it was happening.
…as for the Firm album — we have to separate that into 3 categories.
First, when it dropped. When it dropped I’m sure you remember it was regarded as a disappointment—aside from “Phone Tap” being a stand out cut.
Second, anybody at this forum is a die hard Dre fan from back then so of course we ended up appreciating all the joints Dre worked on
Third, yes, in retrospect we can appreciate the entire album and maybe only a couple years after the initial disappointment we were appreciating this album I mean that fuckin Canibus cut is stellar and a lot of those joints and the theme and cohesion it’s dope man
…a rare instance I will disagree with you though I never liked “Nas is Coming” and that whole album I never really liked aside from “If I Rule The World” I consider to be Nas Magnum Opus.
“Nas is Coming” wasn’t even produced by Dre I think he just talked on it is all. The other Dre produced Nas tracks are great like “Topless” that “playaz” joint with Game is a banger and “East/West Killaz” is like the most timely and underrated joint ever

I bought the Firm album the day it dropped as well. I was mad hyped over the single "Firm Biz". I know it's a cheesy party track, but i really liked it. I was disappointed because none of the rest of the album sounded like that, it was dark and east coast sounding, which i guess i should've expected. I was already tired of the mafioso rap, even though it was just getting started. It took me a while to get into Phone Tap, i initially liked Firm Biz, Firm Family, and 5 minutes to Flush with that talkbox! I had heard the song Everyday with Dre, Nas and Nature and was disappointed that wasn't on the album even though Dre stole Sam Sneed's lyrics from the original version of Blueberries. I was heavy into 96/97 Dre at the time and thought he'd be on more of the songs.

I've seen people say Tha Dogg Pound dissed So So Def on "What Would U Do", but I don't understand where? It's a Ruthless Records diss.
