Yo, i was just wondering if you guys could list RBX songs or songs he is in.
Also, what do you all think of him? I used to think his style was kinda weird, but now i really feel him.
Also, i was wondering what the deal was with the beef between him and Dre so someone drop a line about what happened with them and what their relationship is like now.
Thanks. Peace.

just now seeing this for the first time
i made this collaboration happen

No Mercy - No Remorse is heavily slept on, album is fire from start to finish

Is that really RBX on Natural Born Killaz?
I’ve always assumed it was an actor doing that bit because of how theatrical and over-the-top it sounds (and also because it’s the soundtrack to MWTC).

"Heatmizer" was kind of an under-rated RBX joint, can't remember which album that track was on but I remember it was the best song on the album

yeah word.. that's the one you gave me thru the mail! Funny, that we weren't just sending files back then. You actually airmailed it!! Along with that Royce da 5'9" bootleg that was FIRE! If that Royce bootleg 2001 had been a real album it would go down as easily the best solo album he ever made and a classic.
When I was 18, around the same time we made the fantasy record label at the board and I thought it was a genius idea I wanted to make a business out of. I destroyed my future and gave some shyster scammer $20,000 dollars for a computer business that failed a month later. Somehow the account I'd always had for college/future all my life that good ol granny had set up that supposedly had $100,000 dollars in it ended up being $36,000 dollars and $15,000 went to a Camri that I still drive, and somehow by age 21 when I finally—actually—fully got the money into my own possession and out of the account, and out of my dad/grandmother's control there was...
$10,000 dollars left.

Life has became quite difficult for me since the summer started and so it's made me reflect more on past missed opportunities these days.

It doesn't work like that homie. You are putting the cart before the horse (one of my favorite proverbs).
The reason I've been looking back on past missed opportunities is not because I want to or because I think it's better. Life forces you to do that when things aren't going well.
Let me use a sports analogy. Look at the Chiefs right now. They've consistently been relying on the same staff and personnel and playbook for many years now successfully. But now that they are not facing success it's forced everyone to question everything. From what the Owner Clark Hunt is doing, to questioning draft picks, GM moves, money spent, plays being called, etc.
When things are going well and you feel confident about the future then life doesn't force you to look back. But these are INVOLUNTARY THOUGHTS that come to your mind when you can't sleep at night cause you are suffering with regret and anguish and your mind starts replaying every decision you ever made that brought you to such a dark point in your life.

either you can control your mind or your mind can control you
not saying it's easy .... but those are the 2 options. the former takes more work and discipline, for sure.

SLAMMIN!!
And once again proving my point. Why listen to new music? (other than waiting for Sccit's Maimonides and other Labcabin Releases)
Why check for new music when there is still so many gems to dig for in the golden era? Case in point, I didn't even know these movie or soudtrack existed till just now! I'm going to watch the movie and listen to the soundtrack. And this Dove Shack joint is Slammin!

full movie is on youtube and looks dope

If you don't learn from the past, you're bound to repeat it. You most definitely should be looking back at missed opportunities, or things you did wrong and figure out what you could have done differently. That's the only way you will get better. Shutting the door on your past and pretending it never happened and never thinking about it is bad advice. Now you shouldn't constantly be living in the past thinking about the good times, because that does stop forward momentum. Maybe that's what Sccit was trying to say.

What about Warren G living in the past on G Funk Era? That was a platinum classic and also the golden age and height of his career... yet listen to the albums content it's mostly reflection and "livin in the past"

Everybody disses Warren G and forgets 1994.
But I know HighEyeCue was old enough to remember that that dude was #1 in 1994. Snoop didn't put anything out in 1994, he was just chilling in the cut until they dropped Murder was the Case at the end of the year. But summer and fall Warren G was #1 in the Midwest and West Coast.
He was so big that year that his album became one of those bus ride to school kind of conversations it was so big. People were imitating the "Hoe Draft" and people that didn't even listen to rap were claiming they were fans of Warren G and the album.

It features guest appearances from MC Breed, MC Eiht, Warren G, Nate Dogg and Bushwick Bill. The album spawned two singles: "Caps Get Peeled" and "Things in tha Hood".

Who disses Warren G?
Supposedly his own step-brother Dre. And can you imagine being #1 (as Warren G was in 1994) and your own best friend (Snoop) doesn't even think you are dope enough to ever use your production. Even on the 213 album he doesn't use Warren's production. And that's just for starters. Look at all the lists that have came around of best rap artists he will never even make it top 50 or top 100, I don't even see him on producer lists....I even stopped being a fan of his after Midnite Hour. Even his interviews or just as a West Coast personality, he acts nervous, and stutters, and fumbles all over himself -- it just ain't hittin...
So it's like I even was reminding myself when I made my post. I brought up his name just in fun with Sccit, and wanted to add a video for my post and rewatched "This DJ" video for the first time since 1994, and you see his confidence in the video, and I suddenly remembered my best friend and I from 94' bumpin his album all summer, and everyone talking about him, and just how fun and great that summer was, they used to have "JAM OF THE WEEK" on MTV and every time you'd look up from Regulate to This DJ to Do You See, it seemed like everytime this dude was JAM OF THE WEEK and on FIRE!!
I was more reminding myself and HiEyeCue and Soopafly (the poster) guys my age, reminding them, like, damn man.. remember when this dude was THE MAN and he was literally like #1 during the golden era of rap. 94 you had Wutang blowing up, you had Nas, Ice Cube was doing "Bop Gun" and "You Know How We Do It", but honestly for anyone old enough back then especially if you were in the Midwest or West Coast Warren G was larger than all of them. #1. Snoop even went to the MTV Awards show at the end of the summer and I remember distinctly him specifically saying, "I'm just here to support my homeboy Warren G!"

Dude I literally made several posts here in the last year how great I thought Warren G was. No need to remind me.
Also, i've never heard Dre diss Warren at all. He was in Warren's DO YOU SEE video at the height of Dre's popularity. Dre told Warren not to sign to Death Row and do it on his own and was the best advice he could've given someone. That's not a diss. If Warren would've went to Death Row he would have ended up doing nothing, like so many other artists over there.

This is thread is already off topic, so fuck it. Warren G. and DFC related: MC Breed. Some years ago I remember there was talk about a MC Breed documentary, so I googled it. I found a Vimeo link https://vimeo.com/611229097 via https://www.facebook.com/ARTFULLDODGERS/posts/here-is-the-link-to-watch-the-emmy-winning-breed-bootleg-legends-of-flint-hip-ho/733469381212062/ but it's password protected.

All the stars were aligned for Warren in 94’. So of course Dre came thru for the “Do You See” video. And I was only 12, I’d barely been a hiphop head for only one year so I actually thought Snoop was on “Recognize” and not just a sample, lol
Then you had Dre biggin him up in the Show documentary.
So yeah no doubt even when something went wrong it ended up right for Warren in 94’. I’m not arguing what you are saying.
…but it literally like hit me, like reminding myself when I added the “This DJ” video on here — I suddenly remembered Warren was THE MAN in 94’. You don’t ever have those moments when you sort of forget something that you know is true, and you have a sort of double-take? One time I heard Pac on a song in 98’ that I had never heard before and for a few seconds I thought it was a new rapper — like “damn this guy got next” — but then of course you come to your senses and you are like, “oh that’s Pac”
So yeah, it was just me it was just that like 2 second lapse seeing “This DJ” for the first time in years it was like “oh yeah that’s right I damn near forgot Warren WAS the man summer 94. Like at the height of the golden era of rap this unlikely alpha-dog was THE MAN !
-
Didn't even know they had a second album
I’d definitely say the second album is actually much better/more consistent than the first one. The song with Nate Dogg and the song with the Fast Car sample are highlights; but I love most songs

One time I heard Pac on a song in 98’ that I had never heard before and for a few seconds I thought it was a new rapper — like “damn this guy got next” — but then of course you come to your senses and you are like, “oh that’s Pac”
So yeah, it was just me it was just that like 2 second lapse seeing “This DJ” for the first time in years it was like “oh yeah that’s right I damn near forgot Warren WAS the man summer 94. Like at the height of the golden era of rap this unlikely alpha-dog was THE MAN !
I know i'll get hate for this, but I think This DJ is better than Regulate.

Didn't even know they had a second album
because it only came out in japan
in 2000

why would u get hate for that
they're both widely considered 5/5 classix

Of course I liked “Regulators” like everyone else did but I didn’t expect all the crossover appeal—when even my brother who is not a rap music fan knows all the lyrics to your song — you have reached Vanilla Ice “Ice Ice Baby” level

When it came out on the Above the Rim soundtrack, i thought it was cool, but I was into Big Pimpin, DPG For Life, Afro Puffs, Pain and Loyal To The Game way before Regulate.

"Gangsta Love" stands out as one of his best guest appearances on Warren G LP

^^this
Same exact sentiment for me (except I didn’t have “Loyal 2 the Game”)
It was one of those albums when you can remember where you were when you bought it and first heard it and it was only my 3rd time in my life going to the record store on my own to buy a cd 💿. I actually bought it at Walmart so I didn’t know I was a getting a clean version. So I also didn’t get “DPG 4 Life” but always loved the live version on the Show documentary.
“Big Pimpin” is the song that prepared me for Warren G’s album because I thought rap was supposed to be “hard” like what I’d heard on Doggystyle and the Chronic. So to hear Snoop and DPG come with a totally different style and take their foot off the gas with “Big Pimpin” for a laid back softer sound—and still just as dope as anything on Chronic or Doggystyle—that blew my mind! That was my favorite and most listened to song on the album.
The same can be said for “Regulators” it sounded different than Chronic and Doggystyle but I sort of took it like a Nate Dogg song sort of like “Ain’t No Fun” — just like “okay, yeah that’s what Nate Dogg does.” But it took a bit for my ears to catch up with the G Funk Era album because it wasn’t the same sound as the Chronic and Doggystyle. It was a grower. I didn’t like it at first, in fact I thought maybe it was some Concrete Roots type shit because I was scanning for the Death Row logo and couldn’t find it, lol
Finally the video for “This DJ” came out and I was like, “oh okay, I get it now”. This is next level!

True true....not gonna lie, i was pretty disappointed when I saw Big Pimpin 2 was gonna be on the Dogg Pound album, and then it ended up just being Big Pimpin talking the whole time with no raps from Daz or Kurupt. Years later i discovered the clean version with different lyrics and I almost look at that as the proper sequel.

Dogg Pound and Death Row were on fire so I didn't need a "2" of anything because they were always hitting on new and fresh angles in the mid-90's.
It wasn't until Doggfather flopped that I started thinking in terms like, "man, why didn't they just do some shit like Doggystyle, why don't they do a part 2, why don't they do sequels?"—I think I would've been happier with the LBC Crew Haven't You Heard album than Doggfather. That would've been closer to my expectations.
Funny, that Snoop did come with a "Gin and Juice 2" on Da Game album—but of course that track was horrible, lol

Da Game was a good album so was Da Doggfather
-
tbh I think "Da Game" was a mismatch of styles between No Limits Beats By The Pound production/No Limits crew and Snoops laid back flow
"Tha Doggfather" when it came out I didn't like but over the years it has grown on me...all in all sans Dre and the D.O.C Snoop did a pretty nice job...and I think DJ Pooh gets alot of unwarranted hate for his production on there too

yeah, to your above comment "STILL A G THANG" was fucking dope! I used to bump the hell out of that track summer of 98' my first year driving 16 years old, i had the single before the album came out, and loved the video -- got decent play on MTV/BET. It was great, produced by Meach and sounded like the Snoop we knew and loved. Speaking of which, in spite of being at a precarious point of his career his style and charisma in those days was still the same Snoop from Doggystyle. That was the only worthy track on the album to me.
I also was bumping "Hooked" on repeat that summer, produced by Soopafly but on the No Limit I Got the Hookup soundtrack. A classic Snoop banger from that novel era in his career before the West Resurgence and after Death Row.
As for Doggfather... you can't hate Pooh. Pooh is a legend. And I don't think anybody blamed him. In fact, in some ways, it was Pooh that actually came through and saved the day. That album really kept getting pushed back and it was likely Pooh that came through with some fresh and next level that they could go on ahead and put out the album.
In retrospect it was dope, but expectations were so high and the label was in disaray with Dre leaving and Pac getting killed. So there are a lot of people to blame--but Pooh shouldn't be one of them. Those beats and the sound he came was dope.
For Doggfather I always come up with these bizzare ideas of how they could've made it all work. Like, they should've stole more tracks from LBC Crew "Haven't You Heard" and why give that single away to Thin Line Between Love and Hate soundtrack they could've put Snoop on more of "Beware of My Crew" and there is your hit single right there. They could've even borrowed "Me in Your World" from the Dogg Pound or "Cavi Hit" from the Dogg Pound just thrown Snoop and them joints, and BAM!! You got a hit and he's quadruple platinum again and everyone is satisfied and it all would've been on Death Row continues it's reign!

The Doggfather was and still is disappointing to me, especially when we’ve learned since of the tracks which didn’t make the cut when the DAT lists leaked.
Songs like Dogg Collar, Head Doctor OG, Midnight Love, Street Life, May I etc would’ve really made that album so much better

Doggfather to me is a perfect album. Poohs production is top notch. It’s just a completely different type of album.

"Gold Rush" and "BlueBerry" seem like LBC Crew tracks donated to the project. "Downtown Assasin" was more influenced by Daz and Tray Dee, it also felt like something donated to the album.

No Limit / Beats By The Pound overproduced, they almost released a new album every week. I believe KLC said in this youtube interview that he wanted to take his time with Snoop's "Da Game..." but Master P was the boss, so... It's been over year since I seen it, but I believe it's in the second episode based on the title.

Cool I’ll check out the episode on Snoop. Would be nice to hear something more in depth about recording with snoop in the no limit days.
These guys were really talented to be turning out gold and platinum albums like a factory but I always said it was “fast food” it was the McDonalds of rap, because it tasted good but the quality was low and you’d pay for it later.
That’s another way of saying it didn’t have much replay value. The first joint on their albums would always get you hype and then they’d have the single somewhere on the album, and then maybe one solid album cut and rest sounded like filler after initial play through
But they knew melodies for sure it had good melody in their beats

I just don't think their styles meshed even if they took a couple of years to produce it...that's not saying it couldn't have been better but I don't
think they could come up with a classic
the Snoop formula for most of his albums after TBCT is a a lot of filler and a few bangers...but you could say that for a lot of artists

I’d say this list is bang on. If Snoop just took the best tracks from Top Dogg and Tha Last Meal, combined them into one album, he’d have a really really solid follow up to Doggystyle.
Quality control is his issue.

Thanks for linking these I'm listening through all of them now, kind of focusing on the Snoop part. Far from perfect but still a great listen and trip down memory lane. Some notes..
-- Interviewers not knowing dates and getting years messed up--smh!
This guy interviewing him is clearly a big fan/fanatic of No Limit, but clearly not knowing shit about Snoop. He thought, "Down 4 My Niccaz" was like the first song they recorded with Snoop. He also thought it was on Magic's album and didn't know it was even on Snoop's album. Not only that he thought it was before Snoop's first album and didn't even know it was on Snoop's second album. But KLC was on it because he quickly explained it was on Snoop's second album in 99'. It's funny when fans know dates and years better than artists. But KLC knew his shit.
-- Was disappointed with Snoop's first No Limit album in 98'.
Says he thought when Snoop came they were going to give Snoop a legit album fully produced and mixed to the standard that Snoop would demand coming from Death Row. So that was a way of him sort of admitting they did not properly mix and master those No Limit albums. He said in 98' they released a record breaking 23 albums and they had to hold to a tight schedule and Snoop was no exception. I wish they would've gone into it more but they didn't.
-- Says he was really excited to be on an album with Dre for Top Dogg
Says when he found out Dre produced records were going to be alongside his on Top Dogg he was really happy about that.
-- Says Snoop and Soulja Slim were tight and used to room with each other on the road.
Seems Snoop would be too big of a star for that, but that's kind of dope how Snoop was so humble when he went over there.

He also thought it was on Magic's album and didn't know it was even on Snoop's album. Not only that he thought it was before Snoop's first album and didn't even know it was on Snoop's second album. But KLC was on it because he quickly explained it was on Snoop's second album in 99'. It's funny when fans know dates and years better than artists. But KLC knew his shit.
-- Was disappointed with Snoop's first No Limit album in 98'.
Says he thought when Snoop came they were going to give Snoop a legit album fully produced and mixed to the standard that Snoop would demand coming from Death Row. So that was a way of him sort of admitting they did not properly mix and master those No Limit albums. He said in 98' they released a record breaking 23 albums and they had to hold to a tight schedule and Snoop was no exception. I wish they would've gone into it more but they didn't.
-- Says he was really excited to be on an album with Dre for Top Dogg
Says when he found out Dre produced records were going to be alongside his on Top Dogg he was really happy about that.
-- Says Snoop and Soulja Slim were tight and used to room with each other on the road.
Seems Snoop would be too big of a star for that, but that's kind of dope how Snoop was so humble when he went over there.
master p told them "as long as you can hear that vocals over the beat, that's all that matters"
so he would force them to do a minimal job on mixing in order to pump out albums at a faster rate
hence the lack of quality in the mix and master

Thanks for linking these I'm listening through all of them now, kind of focusing on the Snoop part. Far from perfect but still a great listen and trip down memory lane. Some notes..

"Down 4 My Niccaz" was also on some other albums, C-Murder? and / or on a compilation / soundtrack? Not sure if it was before or after Snoop's second No Limit album.
Hmm, got to check wikipedia. It was on Snoop's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_for_My_N%27s
"Down for My N's" (written and stylized as Down 4 My N's on the Snoop Dogg releases) is a song by C-Murder featuring Snoop Dogg and Magic from Dogg's fourth album, No Limit Top Dogg and C-Murder's Trapped in Crime.
Remixes
A sequel to the song was released on C-Murder's fourth album, C-P-3.com titled "Down 4 My B's". It featured Ms. Peaches, Traci, & Mia X.
In popular culture
The song is featured in the 2008 film, Street Kings.
The song was used by the Miami Heat during player introductions.[4][5]
The song has become the unofficial anthem of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.[6]
Prince Fielder, while he was a member of the Detroit Tigers, used the song as his primary walk up music during home games.
The song was referenced by Kendrick Lamar in his song "Tammy's Song (Her Evils)" on his debut album Section.80[7]
The song was performed by Jay–Z and Beyoncé at their On the Run II tour in 2018.
Its lyrics were referenced by Kanye West on the song Blood on the Leaves from the 2013 album Yeezus.
The beat was sampled in the 2023 single "Act Up" by American female rapper Dayday.
No Limit Top Dogg is the fourth studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg. It was released through No Limit and Priority Records on
May 11, 1999.
Following the mixed reception of his previous album, Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998), Snoop began working with Dr. Dre again and returned to the West Coast sound of his earlier career from Death Row Records. The album was generally met with positive reception with music critics citing it as a return to form since Doggystyle (1993), praising Dr. Dre's production and Snoop's delivery, while criticized for its length, the No Limit features, and rehashing old themes.[2] The Source placed the album on their list of the "Top 10 Best Albums of the Year" for 1999.[3]
No Limit Top Dogg debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 187,000 copies in its first week in the United States, only being second to Ricky Martin's self-titled album. The album was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and as of March 2008, the album has sold 1,518,000 copies in the United States,[4] and 2 million worldwide as of 2016.[5]
Background
Following the release of Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told, Snoop was granted more creative freedom from Master P that resulted in an album that returned to the sound of his early career on Death Row. Snoop Dogg explained that Master P limited creative control as he was forming him into the No Limit roster, which he answered that being allowed creative control from the beginning "wouldn't have been the smarted thing to do".[6]
With this newfound freedom, Snoop sought out the help of former mentor and producer Dr. Dre, marking their first collaboration since the latter left Death Row in 1996. Regarding their relationship over the years, Snoop said they continued reaching out and taking collaborating in projects, but decided they were back to working with each other publicly thanks to public demand.[7] Attempts at reuniting date back to early 1998 when both collaborated on the song "Zoom". However, contract problems emerged that prevented the release of said version (Snoop's verses were replaced by East Coast rapper LL Cool J and included in the soundtrack to the film Bulworth).[8] Along with a slew of other former label mates and collaborators including Warren G, Nate Dogg, Jewell, DJ Quik, and Raphael Saadiq, Snoop himself viewed the album to be a companion piece to his debut album Doggystyle.[9]
The album cover also marks a significant departure from the usual design style of all No Limit releases. In regards to this decision, Master P stated "When you look at that Snoop record, you know, you let Snoop be himself." He further stated "You look at his cover and it's got none of the bling and stuff that we always had, it's more about the dogs and what his image is about."[10]
Recording
In comparison to his previous release Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told which according to Snoop only took three weeks to make,[11] work on this album spanned over many months beginning in 1998.[12] The album also marks a departure from the southern sound of previous No Limit releases with only a few tracks featuring production and vocals from other No Limit artists and producers. Instead opting to work with more fellow west coast artists and producers in a "conscious effort" to return his brand of music that was present earlier in his career. Of the 19 songs on the album, three were produced by Dr. Dre. "It was matter of getting some shit from Dre that I didn't have, that would best represent him and would best represent me over his music," Snoop Dogg said. "He [directed] me on what to say and how to say it. I just chose the type of beats I wanted and the type of topics I wanted to rap about."[6] In response to working again with Snoop and how times have changed since last working together, Dre shared that Snoop evolved into being humble, focused, and disciplined in the album's production.[13]
Snoop also continues a previous tradition on his albums to include a cover of an older Hip-Hop song with the song "Snoopafella" (a remake of the song "Cinderfella Dana Dane" by New York rapper Dana Dane). Despite limited involvement on a musical level from No Limit, Snoop has stated that Master P has influenced the album in other ways with the track "I Love My Momma". Snoop mentions "If I wouldn't be on No Limit, I wouldn't even did a song like that, but since Master P, every album he do, he got a song about his momma. He got a song about his dead brother."[6] Snoop also took influence again in his vocal performance from Dr. Dre himself during the process of making and recording songs. He further commented on the chemistry they both still had despite being separate for a while as well as how Dre once again took on a mentor role with him.[14][15]
Production
The overall production of the album has been noted to be heavily rooted in early '80s funk with a mixture of both West Coast and southern influences coming from his label at No Limit and his associates from his tenure at Death Row.[2][16] In comparison to Da Game, only two tracks on the whole album are produced by No Limit's in-house production team Beats by the Pound. Dr. Dre's involvement was a major point of interest of the album for both fans and critics at the time of release with his influence being prevalent throughout. Despite his involvement, the album also branches out to newer styles of music that differs from ones found on The Chronic and Doggystyle. On tracks like "Buck 'Em", guitar elements were used that became present on other Dre productions of the time (like Eminem's "Role Model" from The Slim Shady LP) which hinted at what was to be featured on Dre's own 2001 album later that year.[14] Other producers also make new contributions like the use of violins on the song "Trust Me", a rap ballad commenting about relationships.[15] The album also ventures further into soul than previous releases with tracks like "Somethin' Bout Yo Bidness" and "I Love My Momma".[17] Less apparent in the album's production is also the chiming keyboard loops found in Dre's earlier work that was highly popular at the time. The album is also a precursor to the West Coast Hip-Hop resurgence in popularity during that year.[14]
Critical reception
Top Dogg generally gained positive reviews with many critics citing it as a return to form after the mixed reception and different direction of the previous two albums released. Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club noted "... Dogg sounds happier, looser, and more confident on Top Dogg than he has on any album since his Chronic/Doggystyle glory days." Later in the review he called it "... a vital album, and easily Snoop Dogg's best album since Doggystyle."[25] The Washington Post highlighted the Dre-produced tracks "Just Dippin'" and "Buck 'Em" as one of the best Snoop-Dre collaborations.[26] Source writer Frank Williams called it nearly flawless and said "By returning to his original 1993 flyness, Snoop meshes all his influences to create an album that will ride for a long time." The magazine later included the album on its "Top 10 Albums of the Year [1999]" list.[11][3]
Kevin Powell of Rolling Stone called the album "Snoop's finest work since his debut album...full of seductive party jams that will keep heads bobbing through the summer. Snoop has returned to West Coast G-funk with the help of some old friends...like Dr. Dre and DJ Quik."[22] Neil Strauss of The New York Times positively compared the album to Snoop Dogg's previous release calling it a major musical improvement.[27] NME mentioned "...the silken, sumptuous flow of yore is back, threading deluxe soul and full-bodied grooves....the cool drawl of Snoop...captivates, unveiling tales of love, thuggery, surviving and succeeding in the wild west....a certifiable return to form."[28][20]
Despite the overall positive reception to the album it did receive some criticism from critics. The majority of it being aimed at the length of the whole project as well as the obligatory No Limit tracks. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said "...it runs way too long and is filled with superfluous, even irritating cameos, and also that Snoop is content to haul out low-rent gangsta clichés." He further comments on the lack of interesting and clever lyrics in comparison to his older material years ago.[2] The A.V. Club also addresses the length being a problem with it being a few tracks too long. Criticism is also drawn to the tracks with features from other No Limit artists which writer Nathan Rabin considers to be the lowest points of the whole album.[25] The Source's only criticism of the album is also aimed at the two No Limit tracks "Down 4 My Niggaz" and "Ghetto Symphony" calling them "overly-simplistic".[11] Rolling Stone in particular criticized Snoop's lack of growth as a lyricist while declaring the whole album as not worthy of being compared to his debut.[22]
In a retrospective list by Complex, the magazine placed No Limit Top Dogg at Number 17 on their list of "The Top 25 Best No Limit Albums" on April 5, 2013. This is the only album by Snoop Dogg on the label to be included on the list.[29] Entertainment Weekly in 2015 ranked the album third overall as Snoop Dogg's best album only behind 2002's Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$ and 1993's Doggystyle respectively.[30]
Commercial performance
No Limit Top Dogg debuted at number-two and one on the US Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums respectively, selling 187,400 copies in its first week.[31] which was second only to Ricky Martin's 1999 self-titled album with huge first week sales of 661,000 copies. The following week the album sold an additional 108,000 copies dropping to number-seven until eventually bowing out of the top ten the following week.[32][33] Although the release of the single 'Bitch Please' which gained popularity on both the radio and television helped album sales with a 16% rise on the Billboard 200 after months of declining on the charts.[34] Despite not being as commercially successful as Still a G Thang from his previous album as it failed to chart within the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at 77), it still managed to peak at number-eight on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles on August 28 making it one of his highest ranking songs on that chart at the time.[35] The music video also peaked at number-three on BET and charted within the top 20 most played videos on MTV.[36][37] The video was directed by Dr. Dre.[7]
Top Dogg eventually spent 40 weeks on the Billboard 200 which is second only to Doggystyle on weeks spent on the charts for a Snoop Dogg album.[4] Despite being Snoop Dogg's first album to not debut at number-one and have strong first-week album sales, it was certified platinum on October 13, 1999[38] and sold 1,100,000 copies by the end of 1999 making it the 73rd best selling album of the year.[39] Some speculated the reason for the relatively low turn out for the first week sales of the album is a result of the anticipation for Ricky Martin's album released the same week.[40] The low awareness for the album was also thought to be due to a lack of a video or hit single prior to the release.[41] As of March 2008, the album has sold 1,518,000 copies in the United States[4] and 2 million worldwide as of 2016.[5]

Like you said No Limit was fast food.
Looking over the list of No Limit Records albums, I hardly remember any of them. I remember the compilations and soundtracks the best and the tracks I remember mostly ain't no No Limit artists. These are the ones I remember.

I also wanted to know of more RBX Death Row era tracks, I remember asking the admin of the old Death Row forum but turns out there weren't any in the vault

I would like to know more about the tracks RBX recorded on Aftermath.
-The RBX tracks that Dre play for Source magazine in the interview he did when he left Death Row.
-Doggs for Life with Snoop and Kurupt for Chronic 2001

Maybe Scitt could ask RBX about this song?

This is a great catch by KRULL, OKKA and HIGHEYECUE. Ya'll really brought me back, because I remember this. It was about summer or fall 98' when we first started hearing news about rumored tracks artists set to appear on Dre's follow up to the Chronic.
And this was a great catch, this "Doggz 4 Life" track. Because so many leaks and info over the years have appeared over the years, and yet we never have found out what became of this song. It was mentioned in a few different places as you guys have shown here, so it's likely that there really was a song "Doggz 4 Life" at some point. My guess is that DMX was never on it, but maybe somebody they had talked about maybe getting on the track. Noteworthy, it was also around the time the Foxy/DMX affair might of happened. Then the track was either changed or given away, new name, maybe even another album, and totally forgot about.
But still, great catch by you homies, brought back some good memories from the year long build up 98-99 to Dre's album, props!!

wasn't in the interview
no shit.. that's why I asked.. "where did you hear that?"

no shit.. that's why I asked.. "where did you hear that?"
u also said u "didn't catch that part" .... insinuating that u thought it was in there and missed it ..... so naah, not "no shit" on your end
but to answer your question, i don't remember exactly where.. mighta been from someone who knew them or maybe another interview... i just remember that, because it stuck out to me as someone who takes his time mixing and producing music. and also explained a lot about their subpar quality sonically.
