some quote from the album:

hustle n ballz :I got gold around my neck that will never ever fade
Rolex watch on my wrist nigga getting paid
Thats all I live fo , you dig it
Game is to be sold not to be told thats what my nigga P said can you
feel it
What y'all niggas knockin me fo and watching me fo
While your bitch jocking me and clocking this doe
Boy that sound like the old Snoop Dogg, shit I'm trying to get paid
Papered up and trying to ball y'all feel me

don't let go : We just a bunch of thug niggas, ex drug dealers
The kind of gangsta ass niggas that your bitch love niggas

Biggie was too large and Tupac was too real
Niggas had homies with heat on the street and he got killed
How the fuck did that happen I thought yall niggas was rappin
Shit but in this real world shit, murder thnags keep crackin
Besides drive bys and kiddnapping

still a g thang : Ridin' 'round town layin' game down like Goldie
& I remember what my momma showed me
told me game recognize game
& stay true to what ya do & don't be ashamed
( bpg knows this part  ;) )

I'm headed straight to the LB
forget it that's what they tell me
Sell me everythang except some bullshit
and when it's time for the gunfight nigga pull quick

What you talkin' 'bout? Fool I'm dirty like the South
and to be real I feel that's how I'm comin' out

I got ya somethin' for the summertime while it's hot
and got the bitches posted up in the parkin' lot

20$ to my name:
Nigga 20 dollars to my name
Deep in this dice game
I dust off my knees
I fucked off two g's
Nothing left to do, but buy some shells for my glock
Why? so I can rob every known dope spot
I'm having hard times, grit, and grind
Shit I'm  tyring to get mine
Ain't nothing to lose plus I'm living on the frontline

But if I wasn't in this rap game
Would a nigga Snoop Dogg have 20 dollars to his name

game of life :I got bitches bringin' me money & ain't a godamn thing funny

I got game & that's real from a trio nigga havin' green
Get yo' hustle on nigga 'fore you end up dead
It's too much paper to get Can ya dig it?
Later on this evening I got a lick nigga is you down wit' it?
Shit...

rowdy n bout it :I had to shake the spot cause the game got crowded
I'm devoted and quote it, I'm rowdy and bout it
A No Limit Soldier, and happy to shout it

Nick-Nack patty-wack big happy sack, the dealer is back
And I'm ridin' through your neighborhood dippin' in my Cadillac
I'm sellin this shit, I ain't tellin this shit
I'm a mutha fuckin 2-time felon ya bitch


See, real niggas recognize the realness
Put ya mutha fuckin choppers up if ya feel this

Everybody in the game, say the same
Is Snoop's still that gang bang cocaine nigga slangin everythang
I'm tryin to get as much as I need
While I fuck with these out of town hoes blowin all they weed

But I'm just to quick, slick and sly
When it's time to ride I let the bullets fly cause it's do or die(die die...)
I wear blue 7 days out the week (for life)
I mob the street, DP, while I'm holdin my heat

So if you got your chrome, you need to stay in the zone
And get a vest for your mutha fuckin dome
Cause it's on like a dog with out his bone
I'm in it to win it and No Limit is my home


etc etc etc..... man ya'll can't hate on this

This is the only Snoop album I don't have, but I like a couple songs.

"Still A G Thang"

"Show Me Love" - One of my all-time favorite Snoop tracks

The rest is garbage, those wack No Limit beats ruin the smooth flow of Snoop.

"Woof" was just sorry, I can't stand that track.

I think it deserves a 2.75/5

yo i agree, i thought i was the only one who liked this album...it grows on me every time i listen to it...and i think its cool cuz its a change of pace for snoop, but lyrically, i think its one of his best...

Actually i like this album. But maybe guys hate on it cause Snoop changed drastically from Dre & Daz to No Limit productions. No more gangsta beats, hardcore shit. But love songs, relaxing beats.. Looks more like a G-Funk album, lol. But i like it. Productions are ok (even if i prefeer Dre/Daz by far). It's just that guys still remembered the Death Row Snoop. Totally another thing.

My Rate? It's a 3/5

i actualy wish snoop would say shit like the material on the game.....nowadays hes got some dope lyrics on there...and i heard he made this album in only 2 or 3 weeks cuz P was rushing the first no limit release ...i like this album just as much as topdogg...i think still a g thing is his most underated song...i'll rate a 4/5....theres alot of music on there, like 21 tracks with only one skit i think...
Title: Re: da game is to be sold not to be told
Post by: .:Hercy Buggz:. on December 11, 2001, 11:57:58 AM
this album was Tight Because people saw this album as a No limit album not a Snoop Album because Beats by the Pound did most of the beat and them producton was the shit bacc then anywayz I still listen to sum tracc off this album

Watcha Gon Do
See Ya when I get There
Hoes Money And Clout
Dont let Go
Still a G thang
Woof
Snoops World
Doggs Get lonely 2

Sorry this album is straight garbage...It ain't all Snoops fault though...It's almost impossible to make a dope album in like 3 weeks...2Pac is the only one I can think of who could do it...Plus when you have those shitty no limit producers and rappers on the album it only makes it worse...Still A G Thang is the shit though...

Doggystyle 5/5

The Doggfather 3.5/5

Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told 1.5/5.......possibly one of the worst musical albums ever recorded. The only songs that prevent this from getting a 0 are Still a G Thing and Snoop World. The rest is unlistenable GARBAGE.

No Limit Top Dogg 3.5/4

Tha Last Meal 4/5

There are only a few good songs on here.  I liked it when it came out, but for some reason, I don't like it as much now. :-/

I was mad dissapointed at first, but the album really grew on me, and now i actually like it alot. I was expecting a death row style sound and was surprised cus of the no limit sound, might be why i was dissapointed
Title: Re: da game is to be sold not to be told

I consider "Woof" a classic song  ::)

This album had 2 good songs maximum.....what does that mean? its absolutely garbage.....IMO

u can pretend to urself its dope all u want, but when u look at it for what it is, its definetly below what snoop is capable of....dissapointing is an understatment....

snoops lyrics? on the whoel bullshit.....lots of it was corny
beats? more than horrible....

ill be generous and say 2/5

doggfather was also pretty weak....average beats..not the same vybe as doggystyle, his voice was severely fucked up..but it did have some dope tracks onit....id rate that 3.5/5

IMO snoop hasnt been makin material we all know he is capable of makin...which will make every other album he releases dissapoitnin to me

Post by: Password on December 13, 2001, 08:32:43 AM
i hate to sound like a snoop 'hater' by the way, i used to be a big fan of the guy..doggystyle was the first album i heard....i was like 7 or 8 when my sister bought it...still play it till this day..thats why i cant even compare the bullshit hes released since then

Post by: Don Seer on December 13, 2001, 08:56:33 AM
get what ya saying Password.. thing is .. albums shouldn't be marked down, just because "he could do better"... its still dope.. just coz it aint the same (as good as before) doesnt mean its automatically lower.
Title: Re: da game is to be sold not to be told
Post by: infinite59 on December 13, 2001, 09:05:36 AM
This album was straight up garbage.  And insulting blow to the chin of any real Snoop fan.  But obviously alot of us are hardcore Snoop fans, so we found ways to appreciate this garbage......

Doggystyle- 5

Doggfather- 2

The Game- 1

Top Dogg- 4.4

Last Meal- 4.1

yeh, i agree but whether it should be done or not, i cant help but compare it to previous efforts..ie rasassination..that was aight..but it was no where as good as sould on ice....and therefore i dont enjoy it as much as i know it is lackluster....
lets be honest which snoop album has been dope....there has been decent albums..some a step in the right direction..some dope tracks..but as a whole...he hasnt delivered for quite some time

ya'll can't make critics by comparing to other shits, it's like comparing nelly with jay-z blueprints, everybody would have a 1.5 mark then  ::)

and i remark that people whos sayin shit about snoop lyric ain't even on the shoe's level of snoop dogg  on the freestyle board. nigga got to do better to talk shit about others lyric ... thats my opignion ,  ::)
