Im guessing a thread for this CD has been done like a 100 times but hey,I havent seen any so Im starting one.The thing is everytime I hear people talk bout this CD they always seem to disrespect it.Why???Im guessing if any other rapper did a CD like this people would say it bumps hard.Im not saying this CD is a classic but it does have classic tracks & overall it is a good album.Who could forget classic cuts like Bitch Please, Don't Tell, Party With A D.P.G. or Just Dippin'???You got production from Dre, Meech Wells, Jelly Roll, KLC,Goldie Loc & others.People can bitch about this CD but no-one can bitch about it being pop cause it isnt.Almost every track is above average.I just think people got their expectations high cause it was a Snoop album.People need to forget about his old classic days & concentrate on what he's doin now & stop comparing his new material to his past material (of course Im not saying this album is new or anything like that).On the side note who remembers the booklet for the album???HAHAHA,that was a good laugh.For example the lil commercial of the talking Master P toy asking "Ya heard me"???Or that Mercedes bitch or whatever she's called,was that supposed to be some Porno DVD or sth???Anyways I just wanted to say that almost every cut on the album was bumpable & that it shouldnt get slepped on.

This sure is one of my favorite Snoop Dogg albums... I'll enjoy it front to back.

Down 4 My Niggaz wouldīve been one of the best crunk songs of all time if Snoop hadnīt been on it. this album is kinda slept on and KLC & Dre laced Snoop with his best production since Doggystyle and this album is just dope. Buck Em,Down 4 My Niggas,Just Dppin,Bitch Please and Ghetto Symphony are my favorite songs on this album. Snoop needs to hook up with BBTP or Medicine Men as they are called these days coz they made Snoop sound dope over some real hard beats. i just think a lot ot motherfuckers slept on this album coz it was released on No Limit and peeps seem to hate everything they dropped even when they dropped dope shit.

well thatīs your opinion. i think they did drop a couple of dope albums(both of Macīs albums,Fiendīs Thereīs One In Every Family,Life Or Death etc)but they havenīt dropped anything worth buying in the last couple of years. i wouldīve bought the new TRU album if it had been an instrumental cd coz Drumma Boy is a dope producer,

all the Quik tracks were heat....

It was good but i don't think it was mad underrated.
-

Except for Don't Tell the others imo were the worst beats on the album.

No, but the Dre and Meech beats was top notch.
This was back when Snoop Dogg was dope. 8)
1999, only 6 years, but feels like over a decade.

I think honestly, you listen to a song enough times, you like it.
So what happens is, you hear these cd's, like "Topp Dogg", and if there's anything good about it at ALL, it sticks somewhere in your head, and maybe over the years you hear little beats and things, or little rhymes... music moves on, and the stuff out now is a totally different style.
So, someday you pop some old CD in, like Topp Dogg, and the combination of the striking difference in style, it sounds old-school compared to what you've been listening to lately, and the combination of that with the lyrics and beats you've had floating around all these years in your subconsious, I think you make a little synapse connection and go "oh shit!" when you hear the drums kick in or something, and then you're a big fan by then.
So that's my explanation of why I think old albums sound 'classic' or 'made underrated' when you reflect back on them after they've been out a few years.

After he dropped Game Is To Be Sold, I figured he couldn't do any worse the second time around. The album was actually pretty good. A couple of songs sucked, but it deserves a good 7/10.
-
cuz it suckz Wballz....the only good song was don't tell cuz quik produced it.
-
what other trackz did quik produce???????????
-
Good album period, I mean Bitch please, in love with a thug, don't tell, just dippin etc
Not near a classic though

I don't know about you... but it's starting to seem more and more like No Limit and Snoop sort of need each other. Snoop needs No Limit because his two records without No Limit (Paid the Cost To Be The Boss and R&G) are pure garbage. Snoop's just ridiculously laid back and never has any energy in his records, the production has been mediocre, and if someone as dull as Snoop gets lame production, the record's going to suck because Snoop can't carry a beat... beats carry Snoop. The best thing No Limit ever did for Snoop (besides taking him away from Suge) was that No Limit sort of put a little energy into his raps. Snoop was being joined by P, Silkk, Mystikal, C-Murder, Magic, and he was working with KLC and Beats by the Pound. Snoop's always been good at the laid back shit, but you need to do something else now and then and No Limit sort of brought that out of him. Top Dogg never really suffered from what a lot of Snoop records suffer from; slow down. Everytime things started to get a little too laid back, KLC would jump in with a beat, No Limit cats would jump on the track and they'd wake ya ass up. It was a good blend of things.
No Limit on the other hand needs Snoop for opposite reasons. They seemed to sell well enough even after they fell off because Snoop was still with them and he kept them in the spotlight even when mainstream media wanted nothing to do with No Limit. So, from that point of view, Snoop was sort of commercially the downfall of No Limit.
But regardless, Top Dogg may very well be Snoop's second best. Nothing else (other than Doggystyle) is really better than it and come to think of it, Snoop on a whole has dropped mediocre records his whole career which is why I don't know what the big fuss about the guy is.
And yes, No Limit went through a long ass spell where they couldn't do shit right... but...
TRU - The Truth... dope ass cd. Drumma Boy gotta be one of the hottest producers coming up in rap... for real, hell even P sounds better now than he has probably since '99. I mean, to say No Limit can't make good shit without Snoop is just sorta ignorant of the whole situation. All things considered, if you've followed No Limit, there best shit came even before Snoop. No Limit has had a ton of great cd's and a handful of classics... C-Murder "Life or Death" Master P "Ghetto D" Fiend "There's One In Every Family" TRU "Tru 2 Da Game" Master P "Ice Cream Man" Mr. Servon "Life Insurance" I mean, come on... ya don't sell 75 million records without bein good.
And their recent shit...
just pick up TRU "The Truth" and wait for P's record comin out in June called "Ghetto Bill Gates," I think y'all will be surprised

C-Murder - Life or death
Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to die
Mr. Servon - Life insurance
Eazy-E - Eazy-duz-it
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 chambers)
If you really think them No Limit records fit in that list... You need to check yourself.

Considering my fave rappers in order are: 2pac, Warren G, Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Dogg Pound I would have to highly doubt that.

Why can't someone have a different opinion than you? Did I say the records I listed were as good as Chronic or Doggystyle? Hell no. Doggystyle is probably the second best record of all time (All Eyez on Me being first) and both of Dre's are top 10 classics no doubt. My point was, if ya into southern shit, no limit has made classics. That's the bottom line.
My top 10 albums would probably go...
2pac: All Eyez On Me
Snoop Dogg: Doggystyle
Dr. Dre: The Chronic
Dr. Dre: 2001
Dogg Pound: Dogg Food
Notorious B.I.G.: Life After Death
Warren G: Regulate... G Funk Era
Nas: Stillmatic
DJ Quik: Best of...
and...
Master P: Ghetto D
So yeah, I do think one No limit cd is worthy of my top 10 ever.
Thing i never undastood bout rap fans is they cant grasp people havin diff opinions... ya actin like i came on this board and said some shit by b2k was tight lol
