I was actually thinking about doing a thread on this last week. Yeah I enjoyed the album. I actually listen to it more than Ego Trippin but Snoop had some bangers on that album. And it is one of his best sellers also.

Ya i gotta agree also, i was listening to this the other day and thought it was a pretty solid album. It doesnt have taht westcoast sound to it so i can see why it gets hate around here tho.

it's lack of "westcoast" sound is why it gets the hate

Compared to the shit thats getting played on the radio today, this album sounds like a classic. I think its an alright album, but thats probably because I'm not that much of a west coast head.
Title: Re: R&G the masterpiece actually is not a bad album at all
Post by: D-Nice on March 16, 2009, 10:30:18 PM
Classic,along with paid the cost and ego trippin... It's one of the best albums ever.

LMAO

I liked this one as much as Blue Carpet Treatment and it's better than Ego Trippin and Paid Tha Cost IMO.

The lack of a West Coast sound didn't bother me as much; Snoop needed the Neptunes at this point to keep him relevant in the public eye, and it worked with Drop It Like It's Hot being his biggest smash for years.

A lot of good tracks on R&G, but I can see how some e-crips weren't feelin it.

I thought the album was terrible.nothing to do with it not sounding westcoast.I gave it another chance about a week ago and found myself skipping through the album.too much pop bullshit.I liked about 2 or 3 songs.

True and the soopafly track on it was by far the best on it

Didnt enjoy it, worse than ego trippin simply cause Press Play adds at least a 1.5 to any album  8)

i alway liked that album...it's way better then ego trippin'...why is everybody talking about it has no westcoast sound? i mean, it really don't have that much of gangsta-tracks on it but the production is really funky on the most jams..and that's what good westcoast-music is all about to me...funky shit!
yeah, it's a softer kind of funk on the most tracks but it's still good music, i even have to say that the beats on "blue carpet treatment" dissapointed me more on some parts
tracks like:

i love to give you light
bang out
ups & downs
the bidness
let's get blown
no thang on me
can you control ya ho
i'm thru with you (that's the track with daz on besides)
fresh pair of panties on
perfect
snoop do-g-g-
and even signs!!! (even it's justin timberlake on it)

...are dope as fuck...face it!

Half of those tracks are so average, Snoop has set a high standard with previous albums and this 1 gets nowhere near that standard

lyrically on the album 'snoop d.o.g.g'. was him at his best on that album. most of the production was fluff. but it has some stand outs (3 or 4). snoop needs dre to guide his career musically because snoop seems to have too many yes men shook to tell him when his shit is wack. after tha last meal and tha eastsidaz, doggy'z angelz, and bad azz albums snoop's kinda been slippin'  he hasn't been the same.

even if albums like paid tha cost or R&G have some good tracks we definitively can't be satisfy from an artist like snoop.he has to bring more.as said before right if really needs dre to give him his sounds and not that neptunes bullshit etc.. every snoop records should be classics!!

but he definitely coulda dropped a better album. he didn't need pharrell when he had niggas like battlecat, fred wreck, dj pooh, and soopafly who shoulda gave him a better beat btw. and lyrically he was aight. it wasn't no last meal kinda shit though. snoop needs to fire the yes men and sign to dre.

I didn't mention signs but it is a funky track, neptunes and timberlake came correct on it
