Title: After Doggystyle...what are Snoop's three best albums?
Post by: R-Tistic on October 26, 2008, 01:34:02 PM
I'd say that 98% of rap fans would say that Doggystyle is Snoop's best album...unless they didn't start listenin to rap until 2000 or later.

I am trying to figure it out...after Doggystyle, how would you rank Snoop's albums? Although many people said Doggfather was a great disappointment, some others still feel it is a classic album.

I'm only listing his official solo albums...none of the "Dead man walking" or Greatest hits types.

I really can't even call it right now...they all represent different eras and sounds, and there's only one that I just can't get into much at all. Even when listening to them back to back, it's hard to really compare and say what's better, because most of them were very solid, but had a few weak points as well.

Top Dogg, Last Meal & Blue Carpet Treatment....

Im still not sure how I feel about Tha Doggfather, somedays I like it, and some I dont  :-\

I know one thing for sure tho, if Snoop would put 14-16 tracks on all his albums we could have more than one classic and his legacy would be much better.

Damm...I think I agree with that there. Those are definitely the three that stand out most to me. With Doggfather, I still have mixed feelings about it. I was in 4th grade when Doggystyle dropped, and 6th or 7th with Doggfather, so I wasn't listenin to it on that "damn it's not livin up to the hype of Doggystyle."

I heard both albums hundreds of times, but never really listened to them straight through and to where I could analyze it until 2000 or so...and I realized that Doggystyle was light years ahead of Doggfather, but that didn't make it a bad album in any way to me. Doggystyle is still my favorite album of all time...and I think Doggfather still sounds better than some of the albums that came out during that time period. However....even if you just compare it to the Death Row albums, such as All eyez on me and Dogg Food, it's far behind.

It's funny now for me over time, the more albums Snoop puts out, the more I appreciate Tha Doggfather. Beats were on point throughout, kept it in house and dpgc with the guests and had a consistent flow throughout. For me, Doggfather, Last Meal and NL Top Dogg

Tha Doggfather of course, maybe The Last Meal and the Blue Carpet Treatment. But I say Doggfather his second best album. I don't really like his other albums after that but some tracks.

I actually listen to Tha Doggfather the most out of all his albums.
Top Dogg and Paid Tha Cost have the most replay value for me besides that.
I couldn't get into his other albums.

I voted for Last Meal and Ego Trippin. Say what you will but Snoop tried something that was conceptually different and to me, it was better than all of those albums before where he seemed so influenced by the trends at the time. He didn't just throw the hottest-selling rappers at the time on a record with the big producers like "Paid The Cost" and "Rhythm + Gangsta". The West Coast one he did before Ego Trippin had some dope tracks on there but something felt off to me about it. Still enjoy it but I thought Ego Trippin was a great album outside of two or three cuts.

Damn, interesting. Hmm...I never thought of it like that, but to be real, I don't think Dre really MADE those albums what they were. On Top Dogg, he definitely produced the hardest track in "Bitch please" and held it down on some other tracks. On Last Meal, Hennessey and Bud and Lay low were dope, but that album was dope to me because of the consistency throughout the album and the overall vibe. On Blue Carpet Treatment, Boss Life was great when it came out, but it doesn't sound as dope to me anymore...and "Round here" was basically "Stan" pt. 2.

With that....I honestly think Battlecat had as much as an impact in making those three albums his best (after Doggystyle) as Dre did, although Dre's presence period may have just motivated him and helped to elevate the overall strength of the album.

In no order:

It was tight between TBCT and Top Dogg. I prefer the feel to TBCT more than Top Dogg so it came out on top, even if Bitch Please is better than all the tracks on TBCT.

Doggfather and Last Meal had so many dope cuts removed from the retail releases, it makes mad. Snoop relied on his homeboys to carry his sophomore album, and on the latter he was under the influence of too much "Kokane".

Tha Last Meal is my #2, Doggfather my #3. #4 is a tie between Blue Carpet and Top Dogg. Top Dogg has some standout songs, TBC has not, but overall I don't like Top Dogg that much.

this guy knows what hes talking about

im surprised how much people like doggfather... i didn't listen to it back in the day, my first time was only a year or so ago at most. the first things I noticed were how mediocre the beats were, how weak snoops delivery and flow were, and how bad the sound quality was. Something went horribly horribly wrong on that album.

on a side note... i think if you take half of R&G and half of the 213 record you end up with something pretty good.
