Yeah at first it was a cool lil novelty for a west coast cat to rap over southern fried beats... but fuck that 1st NL album was hella repetitive, production-wise. The 2nd album was better, due to the fact he was allowed to have outside producers (QUik, Cat, I think Dre, etc) but the rest was straight BBDP production.

In retrospect there were a few bangers, but the real issue was P's hold on using those inhouse Beayts By tHe pound producers. Welcome 2 My World, the opening track off Game Is To Be... is still on rotation on ipod, classic shit  8)

Last Meal and No Limit Top Dogg are great albums by Snoop.  Close to classic albums in my opinion.

MC Eiht was supposed to sign to No Limit too around the same time Snoop did but he chose Hoo Bangin' instead.

actually no limit fell off when they stopped fucking with BBTP...since p owned the name he was letting any motherfucker that made a track at no limit put it under BBTP...BBTP left master p and regrouped as the medicine men....i always thought they had a good sound until they started getting watered down and over exposed.

Yeah, I remember Eiht saying this in the source magazine. He just didn't like their sound. Anyways, I think it was foolish career move on his part not to join snoop when he had a chance. Missed out on having a platinum record. Master P promoted his artists properly, unlike Mack 10.

I didn't like most of DGITBSNTBT and NL Top Dogg back then.

But like 4-5 years ago, I went through a hardcore No Limit phase and started to like all of that Beats by tha Pound shit. No Limit had some mad dope records to that time. "The Shocker" or "TRU" for example. I have to admit, that Snoop's first two No Limit albums also have mostly dope production and it's funny to listen to them now. It's great entertainment.

I think some records have to get old like good whine before you can enjoy them.
Back then, everybody was expecting some west coast shit from Snoop and all that. But if you take the first NL album for example and just judge the music on it without the expectations from back then, it's a cool album. Especially the funny mixture between Snoop and Mystikal.

And before I forget it: I always liked "DP Gangsta", C-Murder has a nice verse on this one.

"Da Game..." is an underrated album IMO.....there are some dope tracks on that, and better than alot of the newer stuff Snoops put out.

 Snoop made alot of good music on No limit. He was doing shit loads of dope as fuck tracks with Meech Wells at the time, half of the first album was produced by Meech and at least daz did a rae beat for a Snoop album.
 Plus there were lots of COOl Snoop songs on no limit complimations an other albums like that track on "i got the hook up" produced by Soopafly, ETC

That Hooked track produced by Soopafly was also tha shit ! I believe it was recorded for Da game is to be sold but never made the cut. I know you can see a part of this video on that movie Da game of life.

Beats by the pound were dope but they just had to make wayyyy too many songs.they produced every song on every album from no limit,any producers that had to do that much work would have a lot of repetition.but they made some classic fucking songs.
