I dunno about yall, but Snoop Dogg has always and will always represent westcoast music to me. For me, his albums, good or bad, are all about westcoast, not really from a "oh, he's got all westcoast producers, he's got all westcoast rappers" point of view, but just that,... Snoop IS the westcoast, whether he's the best, or the worst, or whatever... when you think Westcoast, he's what you think of....
So, in keeping with Tradition, I'm not gonna download his album, for two main reasons. 1, sometimes when I download albums, I don't support and go buy it... and 2, I love the thrill of hearing new songs on the ride home from the music store, sometimes I dont' even drive home, just take the long way so I can hear the whole thing.
Who's with me, who's gonna decide to wait an extra week and not download the new Snoop Album when it gets ripped online this week? I'll promise you it'll be tighter to you and will have more replay value if you wait and get the o.g. Peace out, just thought I'd say that. ~

Damn I just realised how close to the release we are and it still hasnt been ripped. I did predict wednesday though... some people will confirm how psychic I am. ;)
-
Yeah, that's about when I expect it... damn, you think he's just getting overlooked because there's not much demand for it, or you think he's just keeping THAT tight of wraps (haha, pun DEFINATELY inteneded) on the album?
-
I'm not gonna download it either. I will defo be copping it so there's no point really, i'll cop and listen to it fresh, same goes for the new 2Pac.

Well Said Trauma, Im Sick Of Getting Albums Before Theyre Released...Its Only Like 1-2 Weeks To Wait Usually!!
WC - Didnt Download - Still Waiting To Arrive...
Quik - Didnt Download, CD Just Arrived - New Tracks Are Fresh ;D
2Pac - Out In A Week Why Waste My Time?!
Snoop - Out In A Week Why Waste My Time?!
Etc, Etc - Im Just Trying To Get Out Of The Routine Of Getting Albums Early Yet Then Make Sure I Support Them - I Urge Others To Try To Do The Same..
Some Of Yall MUST Rememeber The Buzz Of Listening To A FRESH CD And Reading The Booklet As It Plays For The First Time.. ;)
-
2Pac - Out In A Week Why Waste My Time?!
Why waste your money ?
-
WC - Didnt Download - Still Waiting To Arrive...
I didn't download this either, gotta admit though I was DYING to towards the end ;D
Same goes for Quik's "Under Tha Influence".
When albums I'm defo planning on copping leak I try to stay out of topics that talk about them, 'cos when I buy the album I can then experience it fully and make up my own mind without outside influences.

Yeah, nothin like it.
-
yeah, you're right! it's better to buy 'em and so on... but i download at firtst songs pf the album, you know? cuse so i know if its good enough to pay my money for it!
mabe i'll buy the next snoop,even if his best times are gone!
-
Yeah, I downloaded the early releases of it, because I knew it wouldn't be final and there'd be extra stuff that would never drop. Now that I know the final tracklisting, and there's about 5 or 6 dope tracks on there ALREADY, ther'es noway I'm gonna d.l. it.
-
yupppppppppp
i still aint heard WC (IM FUCKIN DYING!! PICKIN IT UP TOMOROW ALONNG WITH QUIK!!!)
and ill wait for SNOOP DOGG too
peace
-
Before I got my new computer...I never d/l SHIT...because I couldn't, lol. Also, I liked not spoiling an album...so it could stay fresh when I got it.
Now...I need money, I'm gonna take advantage of music when it is for free, especially when these artists are millionares.
Also, Snoop hasn't been opening my eyes latley..so I will prolly d/l the album when it rips.
-
who's with me, who's gonna decide to wait an extra week and not download the new Snoop Album when it gets ripped online this week?
yup im pretty sure that im with you lol...man, i know i cant resist when i see it online but im gonna fight like i did with WC..i know im gonna buy it anyway cause i ordered the album a few weeks ago, but i want that fresh shiznit again so i think im gonna resist
-
WORD 100% TRAUMA
Ive never downloaded an album in my life
dont plan on
on Nov 26, Im waking up early, heading over to HMV, buying the new snoop, thats it
i wont listen to it rite away, im gonna go to class, do my homework, break my fast, have a smoke, then smoke a spliff and listen to this new album to the wee morning hours
(sorry quik & pac, but i can only afford one joint)
-
I didn't d/l WC's new album, picked that up today. I also didn't listen to "Under the Influence" before I picked it up. I listened to a few tracks off of the new 2pac album, but I'm definately pickin that up. As for snoop.......
Also, Snoop hasn't been opening my eyes latley..so I will prolly d/l the album when it rips.
-
Eventhough I already herd the album I just herd one listen, and diddnt even listen to it full and complete, But I love buying a album and bumping it on the way home, and looking at the booklet and shit like that. Its only a week away why even rip it?
-
hell yeah truama, damn man, why waste my time downloadin it off the net when i can buy it n get the buzz knowin i bought that shit n hearin it like it is not like it was......lol
nah on the real, yeah i'll wait
peace
-
Some albums I'll download as soon as I can (BP2) usually the ones that I wanna hear but from not my fav. artists or albums I don't expect much from. The "big" albums for me like Detox, Oh My God or God's Son I'll only listen to the singles and avoid looking at tracklisting and so on. I wanna be suprised when I listen to it the first time.
I get my copy the Thursday night before it drops and I wait till I get home so I can listen to it on my stereo and can listen to it non-stop front to back. I also don't read the book till I heard it through once. I wanna try to guess the producers. I'm doing this for this Snoop album too even though I'm not expecting a classic.
-
I won't d/l it. I am just gonna wait.
-
Im gonna wait... it's well worth it to hear the fresh tracks...
-
Im still waiting till Nov 26 ;)
-
yeah im gonna wait 8 dayz left anywayz ;D ;D ;D
-
i'm down , i've wait til last meal drop and i can wait til this one drop, yeeaaaw
-
I dunno.
I try to wait for the releases i REALLY anticipate.
in this category: Xzibit, Dr.Dre, Rakim and maybe a few more.
Snoop used to be in this category, but after the Last Meal he haven't spoilt us with bangers.
If Dre was to produce on this album, I probably would have waited, but I can't see this as being better than Last Meal, when he don't have Dre on there..

I can....Dre hasnt been droppping much heat lately...Ive enjoyed Hi-tek, Premo, and The Neptunes much more in 2002 tha Ive enjoyed Dre. Add Fredwreck to the mix, and thats dope production. I think this album will be better than Tha Last Meal.
-
^^ I agree Represent, 100%. I'm much more impressed with snoop's stuff lately than Dre's
I'm glad to see so many people are gonna wait on it, I think we're gonna get a good album.
-
man itz gonna be so tough i thought i was gonna be able 2 wait for 2Pac shit but i couldnt help my self i listened 2 like the first minute of every song, then i deleted everything except for My Block RMX, There U Go, and U Can Call........ill try 2 be strong but once i see it on mirc ill prolly get it,,,,,,but dont get my wrong i will be the first one at tha mall on dat tuesday 2 get dat shit!!!!!
-

I don't know where you saw the Jigga album that early. It didn't get to mIRC till the Wednesday before.
