yeah I agree "My Medicine" is a dope cut, and the production on this album is top notch.  Like most Snoop albums, the tracklist could have been cut to about 15 tracks and the overall impressions of this album would be much better.

This album was wack and is "generally" considered one of Snoop's weakest albums.  Hardcore Doggy fans may like it just cuz its Snoop but it was pretty watery.  Snoop's fatal flaw on his ablums is always too many tracks.  Cut out 30% and you could have a solid album.

Post by: Blood$ on March 24, 2011, 10:11:02 AM
there were a few tracks that were meh but the good outweighs the bad with this album, sure it wasn't Snoop's traditional sound especially heeling off BCT but it was still good musically and there were some really dope cuts

Press Play
SD is Out
Neva Have 2 Worry
Waste of Time
Cool
Sets Up
Deez Hollywood Nights
Whateva U Do
Been Around the World
Let it Out
Ridin In My Chevy
Those Gurlz
One Chance
Can't Say Goodbye

I mean, how can anybody say anything bad about these songs? I understood why people disliked MIW but with Ego Trippin I think people just wanted that "gangsta" album and it didn't happen

I agree. Snoop makes good albums. The only one I consider weak is R&G, but some people really like it.

Btw if you put the OG tracklisting together of Ego Trippin the album is ever better. It's a shame stuff got changed last minute..

Post by: KrazySumwhat on March 24, 2011, 10:28:45 AM
 I quite got intro it for a bit. If i remember it was dope as fuck for about 10 or so tracks in a row but then it was just all over the place and the songs just didnt fit together at all. Plus some of the worst Snoop songs ever were on there. Like "why did you leave me" i mean wtf???
 Bonus track was pretty weak also. But yeah there are some great tracks on it.

I ain't sayin that because he hasn't got an album out. Just straight up, I never thought Crook was that good. All I hear is him droppin mad corny lyrics, goofy punchlines and using the same flow on every track (a mixture of old Ice Cube and MC Breed patterns).

Agreed, basically he's a mixtape and a freestyle rapper. I'm not looking forward to an album from him at all, never have. He is way overrated on this forum. Then again, so is Snoop by some people.

Snoops longevity on the mic, and his best material goes to show he's one of the undisputed g.o.a.t. figures in the industry + his style is 100% his own. And 20 years on he can still rip the mic. He got a personality that has made him one of the biggest stars in the world.

To use a 2Pacism he's a Made Ni$$a. :pimp:

the pakistan earthquake, mosque at ground zero . I dont think anybody touched those subjects but I do know Snoop did not.

And he did the Villain joint which was really well done where is talkin bout change while on an above average lyrical level.

Snoop does the same tired rhymes about the same shit on and on.

Does he have longevity? Really no. He just still sells cause of how strong Doggystyle and Last Meal was.

I think Snoop is cool but I really prefer Crooked I on every level. I just dont see why yall gotta hate Crooked like that?

You obviously have not given him any chance and you guys just set your mind to hate on him.

At the forefront of the media Snoop just doesn't do that kind of politicking in his tracks. I think even if he could, (and I'm not saying he can't) I just don't think he'd want to go down that route...

Good on Crook for doing that, but take a guy like DJ Quik. Would you want him giving us 'the news' in his music? I think Snoop is no different.

Is Crooked I a Conscientious-Folk-Rapper then?


Your point about Snoop not having longevity is funny, seeing as Snoop is still here 20 years later. No one could really argue he hasn't got it. No hate though!

Its all good. Just nice to see a hip-hop discussion not goin the e-thug route. lol.

and we should have our own opinions  ;D


Well you do have a point in sayin you wouldnt expect somethin like that from DJ Quik/Snoop-type dudes but I was just pointin out what I like about Crook.
That he is hella versatile with flows, subjects etc. (I think Snoop lacks versatility) That for me puts Crook in front of the rest of the MC's today.
I also see why somebody who havent really gotten in to Crook's music would say he is just a freestyle/punchline dude. BUT he does make real songs.
NWA (New West Anthem), Villain, Banger On My Lap, Still Tha Row etc. just shows you he really can make album worthy classic songs.

I might come off as a stan but I do really believe Crooked has everything to keep you entertained for several albums.

and I dont think Snoop has longevity. Yes 20 years but with what kind of music? Quality or is a lot of it forgetable filler material sold by a radio friendly single?

I absolutely LOVE Doggystyle and Tha Last Meal but other than that? 70% filler material.
