^^Had to change the thread title. He went back out West for the Top Dogg album so it was back to the old Snoop again. But really this thread was supposed to be about that period after "Caught Up" and up until Top Dogg when he was living Down South and doing a lot of work with and for No Limit.
I nominate this one... Hooked.. it was bangin on that Got the Hook Up Soundtrack I was bumpin this joint on repeat all summer 98'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6W8p5CnjAk
Then this was really the first time I heard Snoop on a No Limit album, song is probaby wack but I sure liked it when I first heard it, brings back a lot of memories of early 98' when No Limit ruled the world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWXN3Z8u6bg
This song saved Snoop's life in 1998, can you imagine they originally planned to have that Mia X track be the lead single, then last minute he got with Meach and turned out this banger to save his career from that Mia X disaster

definitely "Hooked" and "Still a G Thang" were 2 of the best ones
I also liked "My Heat Goes Boom" from No Limit Top Dogg

yeah I fixed the thread title because I wasn't counting "My Heat Goes Boom". That's a great song, and one of his most under-rated, they also have him performing it for that straight to video stuff he was doing around that rhyme.
Really it was Meach hooking him up, Meach did "Still a G Thang" and "My Heat Goes Boom" they had great chemistry in that era
-
G bedtime stories, b please, buck em, party with a dpg
Yeah of course "B Please" was the game changer and brought back the west, so that's probably his #1 joint ever he did on a No Limit album. But really I changed the thread title because "Buck Em" also was great but he was back with Dre so though it was technically a No Limit release it didn't feel like it
-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jtKfH-VmTG0
Yeah this was the real reunion track for Snoop and Dre officially being back and the West being back this was a great song, and shouts out to Bad Azz guess he wrote it but really Dre's beats were so perfect and made the song
-
lol
last meal was a no limit album too
of course yeah technically it was, didn't feel like it but yeah. If we were counting Last Meal of course we could also easily say "Lay Low" was his greatest track he ever did on No Limit

Infinite I get what you are saying 8)
I'm actually trying to remember if any of his No Limit "sounding" joints were dope at all
"Hooked" was a Soopafly track and like you said Meach did "Still a G Thang"

Yes, definitely I remembered "Hooked" being a Soopafly joint that was in the days of liner notes when you'd sit and study the liner notes while listening to an album. And it was the Snoop sound and production we were hoping for—but the project itself was vintage No Limit — I mean, my friends at school were all trendy rap fans and they were all down to go after school on the last day everyone went and saw that movie in theatres and that soundtrack sold really well for the label because No Limit was so big at the rhyme (time).

yeah man I was so hyped for that 1st No Limit album after I heard "Hooked"
Soopafly also did "Hoez Money and Clout" that was on the Da Game is to be sold album
the album sold well but other than a few tracks it was all Beats By The Pound production

Beats by the Pound were the McDonalds of production. They sold well, and the hamburgers tasted good, but no nutritional value actually. P just had them in there turning out album after album, Snoop's Da Game album was done in 2 weeks. They just sent him in there like a factory.
...now I know someone is gonna come on here and try to say that Dre said "the B Side of Doggystyle was done in 2 nights with a bottle of Hennessey". Yeah sure, maybe some tracks were recorded in a couple nights. But the time it took to produce and mix those tracks was probably a lot longer. And I'm sure the A side was at Dre's usual slow and perfected pace.

I remember reading that in the Source. 2 weeks to do an album was crazy but kind of the protocol No Limit was using to put out albums every other week or so
it takes a unique artist like Pac with an unmatched work ethic to record quality music in like a 2 week span
Snoop didnt fit this criteria and Beats By The Pound with their cookie cutter beats as well :grumpy:

beats by the pound said they didn’t mix tracks because most cats in the hood only had one working speaker lol
they would just slap the vocals on the beat n send it in for mastering witout touching it up .. which isn’t hard to tell because no limit music was sonically a cut below

Yeah, but I think even for Pac, he may have recorded those first All Eyez On Me tracks at rapid speed, but if you consider all that went into them from a production, mixing, and mastering standpoint -- I think a lot of time went into those tracks if they were followed beginning to end. LIke for example, we know Dre had already done a ton of work on "Can't C Me" (originally DPG cut) and "California Love" before it ever even reached Pac's ears. Daz had already done the bulk of the work on tracks like "Got My Mind Made Up"-- so a lot of heart and soul went into those recordds.
Like Sccit said the mixing and mastering on No Limit albums was almost always shitty. You'd try to turn that Beats By The Pound production all the way and it still wouldn't play loud. P was alwasy cutting costs. Like I said, the McDonalds of rap. There's a great McDonalds movie The Founder with Michael Keaton an also a great documentary--they came out around 6 or so years ago--but they showed how low quality McDonalds was always cutting costs, their ice cream didn't use real milk. It was just like some powder or some shit that they whipped up that looked like ice cream, so the o.g. founder got pissed and left the company.

the fact that they got to produce Gin and Juice 2 was blasphemy as well

oh yeah for sure
I was thinking more the 7 Day Theory album where he basically used the Death Row producers who we never really heard of at the time
maybe Sccit can confirm this but I believe the album was done in 7 days hence the title

Yeah that “Gin and Juice 2” joint was brutal. But P was trying to give folks what they want. Like I said, the McDonalds of rap, the customer is always right. You want Snoop to be gangsta again? Here’s the track “murder murder kill kill” You want Snoop to do tracks like “Gin and Juice” again? Okay here’s “Gin and Juice 2”.
But honestly, people don’t really know what they want, and often pleasing the public means dumbing your shit down. Just look at the WWE.
What’s really best for the fans is when an artist is ahead of the listeners ears. Like, Illmatic (wanted WC shit) was ahead of my ears, G Funk Era (wanted another Doggystyle) was ahead of my ears, 7 Day Theory (I wanted another AEOM)—all albums I didn’t really want—like with Warren G’s first one I wanted some hard shit like Doggystyle and it came off soft on first listen. Then ended up being my favorite and most listened to album that shaped my summer of 94 into one of the greatest rhymes (times) of my life.
As for Pac again—recording 7 Day Theory may have been fast, but I bet pre and post production took a lot longer. I think it was only PAC’s studio time that took 7 days.

Its interesting you mention Illmatic because I was that way with It Was Written...I wanted another Illmatic and Nas came with the Lauryn Hill joint and I wasnt feeling it...I still don't totally
but it became my favorite Nas album because of tracks like this

With Nas you a bit ahead of me on some of the NY shit being out there—I totally slept on Illmatic I didn’t even get into that album until after Slim Shady LP was out and I started digging deeper into artists lyrics more so than their style and persona. Like Death Row was great also on the lyrical side but I as a kid I was probably more into them for the persona and lookin up them dudes like their style and giving me confidence to speak to girls at school while most the rest of the kids were shy (we were only around 13). So it took Eminem to prepare my ears for Illmatic.
I’m the opposite of you because it was “If I Ruled The World” that got me into Nas. Like I said I didn’t really understand the lyrics other than I thought it was dope when he was schoolin those cats on the bench “I’m as wise as the old owl/plus the gold child” but honestly I was probably more into his persona in the video and also in love with Lauryn Hill.
But one thing we can agree on is “Take it In Blood”. I loved that song when it came out and still love it now.
I think 98’ 99’ and 2000’ were when you and I were like doppelgänger hiphop fans listening to all the same shit at the same rhyme (time). Cause by that time I’d became more fully aware of NY and also the lyrical side of hiphop. I think it was Russel Simmons, not sure who but they described it as like West Coast is like music for the car, the open air, and the sunshine—and East Coast is like music for the headphones on a graffiti filled subway

exactly
you dont really need a car growing up here simply because the subway takes you everywhere
back then I was one of the first ones in my area to have a Sony Discman...it was cool but it used to skip like crazy when you were walking with it lol
but yeah I would alternate between the Illmatic CD and the Doggystyle CD
until Dogg Food was released on Halloween of '95 and I played that like every single day and to this day is my go to album to listen to

You were like Game then “chronic and Illmatic on the shelf so I stole both”
Yeah that was a big moment in my life when Dogg Food was released. I remember it like yesterday. Really Bone East 99 Eternal was the big album at that time but it had been out for a few months so everyone was now ready for the next big one to hit. Then Dogg Food came and they got that nice little MTV push where MTV news ran that segment on repeat that had Suge and them at a car shop in LA and outside Kurupt bumpin the album in the ride and throwin up the DPG and hat 🧢 C-style …
Best believe I started wearing my hat like that and throwing up DPG !! And if that wasn’t big enough then second single came around and “New York New York” hit right in the midst of Snoops trial that was a big YoMtv Raps joint used to wait up every weekend night for it… and yes, bumping that shit every day. I even wrote my first ever track by track album review for it just for my self nobody ever read it but me, written on a piece of paper studying the album in my room.
The year went like Fall season was Bone season, winter season was DPG, and Spring season was All Eyez on Me. With the summer came Crucial Conflict Final Tic
Then of course Pac got murdered and rest is history

do you remember during that segment on MTV news if they were showing them filming a video for Respect?
I vaguely remember this and I also heard through out the years that the Respect video is in the vaults

Don't remember any music video shown. Notice they play respect in the background and Kurupt plays it in the car.
I found the segement on youtube. This is pretty much it, unless there's some part that was cut out, or something added. We woke up in the morning to this my homiez and I were 13 years old after my first time ever going down on a girl and all that.. it was definitely the dopest night of my entire life up to that point. We'd been bumping Masta Ace "INC Ride" on the way to the football game and East 99 Eternal whole album full way through playing basketball in the front yard late at night. I still remember the song playin on YoMTVRaps as we were breaking out the basement gutter window it was "For Real" AZ
I didn't even know there was going to be a DPG album (remember Murder Was the Case advertised like Helter Skelter or Lady of Rage or some shit) coming out till they played this segment. I think Death Row had not put anything out since Murder Was The Case and appearances on soundtracks had kept them fresh like "Heads Ringin" and "Beware of My Crew" but like I said this moment put Death Row right back front and center after Bone had sort of taken over in the Fall season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s9gDXugiHE&t=204s
and by the way that album advertisement Sccit posted from 95 for the Dogg Food album is dope as hell and I don't think I ever saw it, has Dre narrating!! Showing Dre was still fully down in those dayz!! Ahh the good ol dayz!!

I could have sworn I read somewhere online though that they did film a video for it but cant remember what site it was on

You can tell that's like peak Kurupt right there. Like that's the one time he finally got his moment. That was like his sort of 15 minutes of fame. Cause "New York, New York" was on the album and it was before Pac came and took the spotlight at Death Row.
...Kurupt is totally himself and in his element. And not only that everything was firing on all cylinders then to support him. Suge had his back, Dre had his back, of course Daz was totally in sync with him, and Snoop's being on the album was like guaranteed success at that time. Sure, he had success before and after but that was the pinnacle.
I had to go back and listen to "New York, New York" and I swear its revisionist history when Kurupt does interviews and shit saying that track was a tribute to "New York". I mean sure, you can kind of spin it like that, because art is art, and art can have many different interpretations. But Kurupt literally says on the track, "Fucc up your whole jurisdiction!" What jurisdiction do you think he is fucking talking about??
And Snoop is literally mocking them in the intro to the track, "YO God, Yo I got maad skillz, money". And then the most obvious of all kicking down buildings in the video.

yeah no doubt it was a diss lol
and Infinite that was indeed Prime Kurupt 8)
you look at that whole track and video and you cant help but wonder that he should have been a bigger star
you probably heard the OG version before the last verse cuts off but here it is for those who havent
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgRytj5n4dg
-
first time hearing this, should have put this on the album.
Same goes for the Let's play house version with Warren G and Big Pimpin' Delemond, just listened to it again this morning and it's so much better.
Are there more different versions of Dogg Food songs that you guys know of

Yeah props to sccit and higheyecue for not falling for revisionist history... "let's all be friends" bullshit they are on now, sure that's great now they are too old for this stuff and some of them have grandkids but you ain't gotta lie about the past like it didn't happen, especially when it was your prime and your greatest moments why not stay true to that atleast? I mean you ain't gotta take it as far as myself and Suge and stay so true to it that you never wanna grow out of it and be like its spring 96' forever, but you also ain't gotta deny what really happened back then, just say like, "Yeah we was dissing New York cause that's how we felt then, but it's not how we feel now"
Thanks for postin that little outro for the o.g "New York New York" I never realized that existed. I always did kind of wonder about that track cutting out at the end. But bottom line you can't argue with flawlessness and perfection. I feel like albums Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food, AEOM, and 7 Day Theory were completely flawless 5 Mic. And I really can't say I prefer this outro to the one that made Dogg Food (or the Warren G version of "Let's Play House") especially when you consider it was Dre's touches and sequencing on the final mixdown of Dogg Food, thank god Dre stayed around at Death Row long enough to do it. Cause Kurupt and Daz don't have the focus to see it all the way through.

Are there more different versions of Dogg Food songs that you guys know of
Yeah props to sccit and higheyecue for not falling for revisionist history... "let's all be friends" bullshit they are on now, sure that's great now they are too old for this stuff and some of them have grandkids but you ain't gotta lie about the past like it didn't happen, especially when it was your prime and your greatest moments why not stay true to that atleast? I mean you ain't gotta take it as far as myself and Suge and stay so true to it that you never wanna grow out of it and be like its spring 96' forever, but you also ain't gotta deny what really happened back then, just say like, "Yeah we was dissing New York cause that's how we felt then, but it's not how we feel now"
Thanks for postin that little outro for the o.g "New York New York" I never realized that existed. I always did kind of wonder about that track cutting out at the end. But bottom line you can't argue with flawlessness and perfection. I feel like albums Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food, AEOM, and 7 Day Theory were completely flawless 5 Mic. And I really can't say I prefer this outro to the one that made Dogg Food (or the Warren G version of "Let's Play House") especially when you consider it was Dre's touches and sequencing on the final mixdown of Dogg Food, thank god Dre stayed around at Death Row long enough to do it. Cause Kurupt and Daz don't have the focus to see it all the way through.

sick... Still love the official one most though.
Seems there was a plan to have "Reality" be a first single as well. I think it was their BET interview Rap City for Dogg Food in which they thought "Reality" would be the first single. "Reality" is dope but never sounded like a single to me. It seems like last minute "Let's Play House" and "New York New York" fell out of the sky as things seemed to come at the right rhyme (time) in those days. DJ Pooh hooked them up

"Respect" might be my favorite Dogg Pound song 8)
yeah the album was basically done and was supposed to drop in August when Pooh hooked them up with a couple of beats so they went back and recorded "NY, NY" and "Smooth"
Kurupt murdered both tracks which showed how much in a zone he was back in 1995
but the interesting thing is the timeline coincides with The Source Awards that year when Death Row got booed so I think that led to the diss track due to the NY crowds lack of respect towards them

Yeah man everything just seemed to fall in to place in those days.
Also I just stumbled upon the MTV Music Awards from 1995 and Dr. Dre accepts an award from freaking Madonna—I mean how big is that—and he don’t even say shit to Madonna doesn’t hug her or nothing—won award for rap video of the year. And guess what Dre does… and this is for you Sccit … he thanks God because he wasn’t a devil worshipper throwing up devil horns back then… then after God he thanks Suge!
And then guess what he does after giving thanks —- he plugs the Dogg Pound album. Says some cool as shit like “I know pretty soon y’all gonna be bobbing your head behind closed doors to that shit and I can see ya!” I’ll try to upload the clip on YouTube so Sccit can see the difference of when Dre worshipped God and not the Devil (post 2020)
But aside from the Devil/God stuff this was around Sept. 1995 so I feel like it’s not like Dre just came in last minute and mixed it I feel like he was down all along. Not sure exactly like if he was just in the room but I expect he had a bigger role than just a final mixdown and a couple voice intros

Yeah man that’s the Death Row era Dre—still giving thanks to God—still staying down wit Suge and the hood—not givin a fucc about a bitch—you see the way he played Madonna—like who doesn’t give a hug and smile at Madonna—he ain’t give a fucc he was more focused on plugging the Dogg Food album than anything else, and the bobbing your head bit was a nod to not only heads wringin but the “Respect” track—so just dope all around.
Then next up… a just out of prison Mike Tyson takes the stage. I mean could life get any better?!? It’s still 95-96 for me I was bumpin Doggystyle, Lost Boyz, Dogg Food all that shit this week

I bumped Doggystyle yesterday and Im still amazed to this day how perfect it is

Yeah man... same thing happened to me when I replayed it a few weeks ago. That era though was such a high for me, it was just hard to be in the right mood where I could listen to it and re-live the listening experience and how perfect the album is.
Like the best time in my life was when "How Do You Want It" was #1 on MTV in the summer of 96' and I swear sometimes when I hear that song--I think my player is bad because it plays like it's slow or something... but it's just because my life was so fast then, you almost got to be in the right mood to relive a certain song or album. Doggystyle is one of them. I don't think you can just listen to Doggystyle in any kind of mood. You do have to be in the right mood for it.

he thanks God because he wasn’t a devil worshipper throwing up devil horns back then…
I saw something interesting Dam Funk tweeted last week which might explain Dre's devil horns you're always on about.

Please stop ‘blanket-referring’ this:🤘🏾
as ‘devil horns’. We Funkstaz know it
as ‘The Funk Sign’. When WE throw it
up, it’s reppin’ OUR music / culture,
which is: #FUNK. That’s it &..that’s all.
Thank U. #Peace. | DF

Maybe… I’ve been saying I’m not certain either way on the topic
