Post by: TraceOneInfinite on December 20, 2008, 01:33:22 PM
1.  "Hooked"-  Off the I Got The Hook Up soundtrack.  That song was fire!!!!!!!  Very under-rated Snoop song.  Produced by Soopafly.

You talkin about "Hooked", if i remember right that's the only Snoop song on the soundtrack. Crazy song, one of my favourite Soopafly beats ever.

Snoop has tons of dope tracks from that era.  Whether good or bad, I dont think anyone has released more music than Snoop.  That track "We Just Wana Party" with Jermaine Dupri is dope as fuck!! 

Most of the shit Snoop did during the No Limit era was hot, people just hated on it cuz it wasnt Doggystyle.

I don't know where you got those dates from.  That must be for some oversea's release, cause nearly all those songs you listed came out on 1996 Death Row Records.

Your right... and I was bumping the hell out of "We Just Wanna Party", it came out on the Men In Black soundtrack at the end of the summer 1997.  Snoop came tight on that song.

Spring 1998 soundtrack for the movie Caught Up starring Wookeem (?) Woodbine (strange movie by the way, I don't reccomend you waste your time watching it), but the soundtrack was dope, and this was the opening joint to the soundtrack and the lead single.  Nice video, too.

"Ride On" and "Caught Up"... are the same song, somebody has the title wrong.

...and for a single and video I thought "Midnight Love" was a little bit weak.  Not a bad joint, but not his best of that era either.

Snoop was a free agent when he recorded that track.  Your right that Snoop was still on Death Row for most of 97, but during that year he became somewhat of a free agent... and that track is from Spring of 98 while he was a free agent soon to sign with No Limit.

I used to own all these cd's... I had a cd rack where I kept all my cases, and they were important to me to check liner notes, track titles, producers, and record labels for all the artists on the album.  I moved all my cd's into those 50 and 100 cd holding things... and then one time when I was moving someone stole all my cd cases because they must have thought the cd's were in there, but they ended up with just the cases.  But more and more every year I miss those cd cases.

The actors name is Bokeem Woodbine. I got that movie, it's called "Caught Up", i like it but it's strange though.
Snoop has a small role in it (he's called Kool Kitty Kat :D) and LL Cool J makes an appearence too.

MC Ren & Snoop Dogg, Kokane - So Whatcha Want


A minor correction here. So Whatcha Want features Snoop and RBX, not Snoop and Kokane. The track is ok but to me it's most notable for having been the first Snoop/RBX collaboration since 1993.

Nice list.. "Only In California" was definitely a certified banger, I really liked the video as well.

I also thought the lead single off his "Game Is To Be Sold" album "Still A G Thang" was a hott song when it came out.

Snoop had a banging ass track from his No Limit days and I think it is around that time frame that Meech Wells did the beat and it sampled a George Clinton One Nation Under A Groove. Can't think of the name of it but it was on a NL compilation.

If i may spit some game....IMO i dont think you can really call this time frame a 'down period' for Snoop cause i truly believe his move to NL with P got his reputation back up as it was slowly dying at DR after Pac was shot.

I mean if yall do some reasearch you will find that Master P told Snoop he wanted him to rap like his old DR days, now most times he did but still he rapped with that smooth voice he still doin today...BUT the albums he released on NL were tight to me back then and if you listen to them now also shit was dope....back then i use to look forward to listening to a Meech beat cause he was doin sum crazy shit i mean tracks like 'Still A G Thang' were tight to me and then Top Dogg was tight with him & Dr Dre getting back together for the first time after DR....so shit was nice back then.....thats my opinion anyway and if you need conformation then bump 'Just Dippin', 'Bitch Please', 'Watcha Gonna Do'................whether you like him or hate him Master P DID HELP SNOOPS CAREER GET BACK ON TRACK & HELPED HIM WITH SOME GAME ON DOIN HIS OWN LABEL BIZ!
