I had no idea that Snoop made it to the Top 40 pop songs in the nation... that's incredible, he has never ever ever ever been in the top 40 songs since....well I certainly cannot remember a Snoop Dogg single ever reaching this milestone....I'm not talking hip hop songs, I'm talking POP countdown... when you reach the POP countdown, you've reached the mainstream audience... last week he was number #37 on the countdown, and he is still there this week... congrats man,that's super dope

wow its amazing how beautiful just took off i ain't a hater as long as he gives us true fans more of that G-shit i don't care if he makes another pop hit like this. snoop is one of the most dynamic artists ever
-
obviously, no one really knows how big this is... I dont think Snoop has ever been in the top 40 until this single... you see peeps like Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Nelly etc etc in here all the time, but Snoop... never! The top 40 is where critics base "good" music... if you don't reach the top 40, you're not a good artist in their mind... the last time snoop was in the top 40, was when "Next Episode" made a three week appearance, but even then, it was a Dre song, not a Snoop song....
plus this song Beautiful has been out for a while now and finally it is starting to reach mainstream, as soon as this happens, you get 12 yr old girls copping the album and then, they find other songs they really like, and then, the chance for more singles is imminent

so this is pretty much a snoop sold out thread, but you groupies still got his back.....anyone that gives props to snoop for reaching the top 40 with beautiful, can't make fun of nelly ,ja rule or anyone for trying to reach out and being pop anymore, your shit talking card is revoked.

Fuck That!!!!
Snoop's been in the game for over 10 years... and not once has one of his songs reached mainstream praise... back in the day, in '92, his shit was popular RAP music, but not one of his songs really dropped into top 40... Snoop did not sell his shit...he always raps about women and shit, just cause people dig it this time, doesn't mean his shit is sold out, you need to realize that people in this forum wanna see their favorite artists succeed... we are fans... the reason we hate Nelly, Ja and so on, is because these cats come and present themselves as these rich rolling, teeth glistening thugs... how many true thugs do you know that are RICH! Come on now... slap yo self for even falling into their hype... sure, maybe down the road in a few years, they'll have the money and they can drop songs about money, but on your debut album... HELL NO! That's why 50 cent is soooo hot, his shit is die hard real and black folks respect that more than anything...
Snoop's been in the game for 10 years and pop culture has ignored him... but his music is in demand with "beautiful" ... people cop the single, the song raises the chart... and then you get to where the song is now... it's just climbing... and Top 40, is top 40 songs in the nation... whether is poppy, rap, rock, r & b... anything... how is it selling out?
Give props to the man... he has one of the most popular songs out right now... since when has that happened?

snoop better make that gangsta shit on his next album...not some pop bullshit like "beautiful".
-
Yeah Beautiful is a Big Hit a success I dont know why the peeps are hating this is a great song the beat is Hot the hook is Hot , the bridge is off the Hook and Snoop's flow was Hot..But just one question what If it was LT Hutton who produced the track would there be alot of hate??...I think people are mad because Snoop is fucking with Neptunes but they dont realize that its a good thing because it shows that Snoop is versatile and can flow on any type of beats.
PS: dont come and say that Y'all want some Gangsta shit etc...

Hmmm....more ignorant trash from a child....does that clown Crimethug even admit knowing you? A true embarrassment.
-
Yep...in the top 40 with Pop and all that shit. My cracka'z brother was in town the other day and he listens to corny ass music (the wack side of alternative, Backstreet Boys, N Sync, etc.). He doesn't like rap at all...but he went out and bought Snoop's Paid the Cost because he likes the song "Beautiful" so much. If HE likes a Snoop song, then something is wrong...
-
I hate the Neptunes, but I think Beautiful is a dope song. And putting snoop into the same category as nelly and ja rule is just fuckin ridiculous. Snoop makes good music, whether its a pop hit or not, nelly and ja rule just make shitty music in general. And I would rather listen to my owned burned album of the most poppy, least gangsta sounding, most disliked songs of snoop, over any ja rule or nelly album anyday. And you guys should be fuckin happy for this, its good for the westcoast rap scene.

its good for the westcoast rap scene.

aint that What y'all want?? West coast music was "Pop" in the early 90's some of y'all were probably too young to realize that but its alright

^
yup yup ... snoops singles from doggystyle were HUGE
the morphing bit in 'whats my name' was always all over MTV...
-
Ahahah Its so sad to see some net bangin when were talkin about a west coast artist having success.. and those fools are the same crying that the West is gettin no love, than complain when Snoop is getting some, its sad but funny lol
-
Damn i liked that song...
...someone special sent it to me around jan (ish) time...
...im glad he got respect and world recognition as an artist.
Only time it gets dangerous is when they become too hyped and arent about the music anymore, which i dont think snoop will do...
...yes he is a businessman...but the sound he has is his not trying to be like anyone else...why i think he will remain essentially the same.

Well, I was 12 years old when The Chronic came out, so I don't know if you think I'm too young to realize it....But I heard "Dre Day" "Let me ride" "G thang" "Gin & juice" and "Doggy dogg world" all the time on the radio and I NEVER considered that mainstream or pop. What I'm saying is that "Beautiful" DOES NOT SOUND WEST COAST. It sounds pop and mainstream. I'm not saying just because a track gets airplay it is mainstream...because that's not the case.

Do Nelly, Ja Rule etc etc... sound mainstream now? Yes they do, but you gotta understand that back when Snoop was HOT, his music was very mainstream and other artists tried to mimic the sound the westcoast was bringing because it was hot at the time. Those artists were able to get a little more recognition then. Now, the westcoast sound is nothing, so west coast artists have to have THE HOT producers on their album to help sales....nothing different

if i was a rapper i wouldnt wanna be in the top 40 pop charts, fuck that. you dont wanna attrack wack ass people as your audience, that means he stepped out of his west coast shoes and hopped into mainstread pop wack shit, snoop is on the downfall. its not far the day when snoop gets no play in my tape deck, just like ja or now jay-z.
-
lol, fuck snoop! he sold out! fuck xzibit! he got dissed by snoop so he aint westcoast no mo!
lol y'all need to stop trippin with dumb shit like snoop sold out, that likes the dumbest shit ever, he been holdin dwn the west with dre fo mo than 10 yrs, nuff said.........niggaz need to stop sayin other dumb shit like xzibit aint west coast neither........no one was moanin a year back when restless dropped, now he made a couple of mistakes with his homies n shit, niggaz be like fuck him, he aint from the west........shit like that makes me sick str8 up
props to snoop fo gettin into the top 40, nigga deserves it n i hope he continues to work with netpunes and dre and other big hitters in the game......
though the top 40 must be fucked up if next episode was only on there for a slight while........cuz that shit blew the fuck up over here
peace
-
but see thats why they got urban top charts and all that shit, i wouldnt say xzibit aint west coast. I just dont think the rap game should be tainted by east coast hip hop lames.
-
Thats pretty dope IMO that Snoop made the top 40. Its noty a bad thing for Snoop to be considerd mainstream...What do you expect? Hes been making classic material for over a decade now while touring around the world and selling millions of records...Of coarse hes mainstream, as are all of your other favorite rappers like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Jay Z and the list goes on...Snoop being in the top40 doesnt really suprise me that much. And how does making good timeless music make you sell out? Snoop still rolls with the same crew, same homies, Represents the same hood and shit....Selling out?????Naw,Id sayin doin' it real Big! 8)
-
you can't even begin to say what dre has done on since 2001 and back, and snoop now are the same...with beautiful, snoop didn't do ANYTHING to change the game besides go pop. shit i ain't complaining about his success, i was saying that i don't want anyone that's sticking up for snoop now, make fun of nelly and ja rule because they are in the same boat....ja rule came out gangsta, didn't make any money and went pop....snoop isn't making much money from gangsta anymore so he went pop.
and you guys are funny saying that 92 is the same as now. yeah i can see the similarities between the singles out then and the ones out now...dr dre and snoop were constantly talking about their platinum jewelry and how all they need is a good woman in thier life.....you guys are so right...
well now i'm gona keep it straight westcoast gangsta rap style....~bumps beautiful~ ::)
