Title: Where does Coolaid rank in Snoop's catalog?
Post by: Blood$ on August 14, 2016, 02:36:33 PM
since it's been out for a bit now and people have listened to it enough figured this would be an interesting topic, IMO:

Doggystyle
Tha Last Meal
No Limit Top Dogg
Tha Blue Carpet Treatment
Tha Doggfather
Coolaid
Doggumentary
R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece
Ego Trippin'
More Malice
Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss
Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told
Malice In Wonderland

I'm not including 7 Dayz Of Funk, Bush, or Reincarnated as those weren't purely rap/hip-hop releases from him and more of side projects but I would say 7 Dayz is in the upper half if we were to include that one lol

In the middle upper half, but you got doggumentary way too high


Or maybe I need to listen to that again, but I'm pretty sure paid the cost, r&g, and even da game is to be sold >>>> doggumentary

lol Doggumentary had a few awkward moments he could have clipped but the good ones do more than make up for the bad and as a whole project front to back it was superior to those others mentioned which only had a few real standout cuts with the rest being average-filler material

just because something came out in the 90s doesn't automatically make it better and just because one album has a few bad songs doesn't make it worse than an album full of lackluster material lol

Doggfather was a great album to me, the fact that it came out in the 90s actually makes it underrated, especially because it was a follow up to doggystyle

Doggumentary is nowhere near as good as Doggfather IMO. Doggumentary has a few feel good songs with solid production but Snoop was already washed up and unfocused and some songs really sounded forced, like he was trying too hard to recreate something from the past . Doggfather's main problem is how they mixed Snoop's voice (and the fact that it came after a three year gap after Doggystyle) but it's full of classic cuts with the LBC Crew (minus Lil Style), Kurupt and Tray Deee in their prime. Can't beat that really.

essentially the only reason that I put it over Doggumentary, both are like 3.5/5 albums

1. Doggystyle

Good topic... I haven't checked out the album just yet... but I'm looking forward to doing it soon and reading more of the reviews on here...

You should of added Reincarnated and 7 Days of Funk (not sure about Bush) as those were certainly Snoop albums.  I mean, I would even put Reincarnated up there as Snoop's 4th best after Doggystyle, Top Dogg, and Last Meal.  Doggfather loses points partly because of the high expectations of its time.  But standing alone it should get a higher rating.

Oh yea you left smokefest and dead man walkin off .. I can see why dead man walkin, as he didn't release it. But snoop released smokefest as an official independent album, just sold them at his shows as he couldn't get clearance to release the tracks on a major label wit proper distribution. Still a snoop album, albeit a rare one.

Kinda surprised by the Malice hate in this thread... was it really his worst album? I definitely don't rank it worse than Da Game Is To Be Sold... It's mercifully short at 14 tracks, and there are some gems in there ("2 Minute Warning"; "Secrets.") "Gangsta Luv" and "I Wanna Rock" remain his last successful solo singles, and I enjoy both for what they are. Only thing I disliked about that album were the more blatant crossover attempts ("Pronto" with Soulja Boy; "That's The Homie.") Edit those out and I think it's a generally solid album.
