Title: Snoop Too Gangsta For The Radio?
Post by: d-nice on October 15, 2006, 08:19:20 AM
Does Vato get any spins were you guys are from? I am out here in Vegas and Candy gets played more than Vato. It is starting to pick up a little bit but isn't it crazy the minute Snoop gets back to the hardcore gangsta rap, he gets little airplay. I was watching the video and although it has a positive message, it is a little too gangsta for tv.

Im in Seattle now and I hear it every so often on Kube 93.  I listen to more Satalite radio then I do regular radio, but there has been times when I check "terrestrial" radio to find it playing on Kube.  (yes, Im a Howard Stern NUT!!!!!)

Yeah, I just got my Sirius yesterday because I am sick of the radio. Same bs just looped over and over. Just wondered if this song is starting to get played because it does not even seem like it is out. I'm sure they will be dropping that one with R. Kelly soon.

Its the future dogg.  They got a unit that you can purchase songs as they play... kinda like an IPod \ Siruis unit in one.  I love my Sirius radio too.  Cant make it to work without it.  I wil say that I HATE SHADY45.  All they play is easty ass bullshit.  And Dre put dude on and he cant rep for the westcoast?????  I hate Shady 45.  Fuck em.  I wish E-40 would work out a deal for Hyphy Radio. That would take the Bay to another level if they had they own outlet.  Maybe 40 will read this and get at em because aint no westcoast bein rep'd on Sirius and that piss's me off.

I donno....regardless of the "roots", the song isn't a GREAT single and just isn't nearly as catchy or strong as some of his other singles. If you think about it...his biggest songs have never been "that" gangsta...it was just the image he had back then was gangsta versus pimp. Gin n Juice, Doggy Dogg World, What's my name, Nothin but a G thang weren't really the most gangsta, it was just his personality that blended with the amazing beats and his flow on em, along with everything else that made it dope. Dre Day is classic, but if you think about it, it got the most play in L.A. and on MTV...it isn't remembered nearly as much outside of L.A. I have never in my life heard it in a club or anything outside of L.A....but L.A. people like it almost as much as "G thang". And same with Deep Cover....that song was never a huge single like that...but it's seen as a classic because of what Dre and Snoop have done since then...just as "Reasonable doubt" wasn't seen as classic until later in Jay's career.

Vato is not a good single...and I see it more as a street single, plus "Thats That Shit" is not a Good Follow Up...

I agree with that.  I thought this was really gonna be a huge album for Snoop, but tracks like "Thats That Shit" and that other one with the 9 inch dix dont impress me at all.....Sounds like the same old R&G/Chuuch shit weve been hearing for the last couple years....Dont really like Candy either, altho Vato IS pretty dope.

don't know about this album overall  :P

it's possible Snoop bullshitted us with that street garbage

"Candy" is the worst track known to man kind

bottom line it wasnt a catchy hook, especially the "run nigga run" part, and its violent. there's nothing appealing to commercial radio about this song aside from the fact that its a neptunes and snoop track. thats what gets it the few plays it does.

Post by: WestCoasta on October 15, 2006, 02:38:48 PM
^^^ ya, it's just that you know when a single has a buzz.... and this sure doesn't have one whatsoever

and he's got like a month before his album comes out

like I said, dude might have trouble pushing gold.... it'll take him a minute to get to platinum

Don't take about if he'll sell. Every Snoop album has sold, TBCT will sell too, cause it's Snoop. He's still in the mind of people because of sing like "Buttons" or "Say Something". Vato is a cool track I think, Candy is great when you listen to the edited version and when u realize that MC Eiht goes hyphy on it (!). That's That Shit is cool, too but nuthin special. I'd love to hear the Snoop/Kam track "murder, murder" must be great! And please more soopafly beats, this guy is a genius!

Thats what I like about the song.  Snoops taking chances by putting this single out.

I was gonna say just the same thing. I like it too. Snoop caught all that heat for his pop singles off the last album, and not that he's doin' some gangsta shit now everyone's saying it's not "commercial" enough?

^i am just saying its not commercial enough for radio, and personally i fuckin hate radio. i dont have any major problems with the song itself its really grown on me, but the thread is about its commercial success or its lack there of
