The new Snoop album has leaked. Have you heard it? What's your thoughts on it?
-

02. Moment I Feared (feat. Rick Rock)
03. Bacc In da Dayz (feat. Big Tray Deee)
04. Promise You This

Battlecat did a bunch of beats on here. He's still got it.
-
Supa Dope Lp Big snoop Still The Best ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Dope Album!Better than i think! Any of the best Snoop Tracks in Years. Remains me of the old Death Row Years. Battlecat did a good Job too.
-
After a couple spins, here's my 2 cents about this album (compilation?), The Start is dope but after Trash Bags it's mixed with bad songs, recycled and average ones... Big Mouth for example has a dope beat but what an awful delivery from Snoop :-X I dont know may be Ive heard so many Snoop joints that I need higher standard from him... well Im gonna enjoy the Rick Rock song for a day or 2 and I'll see him next year lol
-
On first listen, I'm pleasantly surprised.
I had no expectation for this but this is slapping.
Based on my first listen, I will only delete 2 tracks, Trash Bag because it's Trap and just for radio spin and Vapors remix (I don't know why this is necessary).
The res I fuck with and will keep bumping.
Moment I fear - Slapping!
Bacc in da dayz - Banging (Eastsidaz vibe)
Promise you this - Slapping!
Swivel - Knocks!
Go on - Groovy
Big Mouth - another slapping beat
Toss it - Slapping!
420 - Weed song
Lavender - You all know about this
Let us Begin - Solid track by 2 legends
Mount Kushmore - another weed song
I'm still here - Jamming (I don't know why I like this so much)
Love around the world - Pretty good song (would love to see a good video for this)
-
After a quick listen this is actually a dope album....it's everything within reason us westcoast fans want...you can tell snoop is done with trying and appealing to anyone outside of his core fan base for the most part...he did this for the fans for sure...no experimenting like bush or the snoop lion era or trying to stay relevant like the mac and devin and trap type songs catering to younger crowds...just exactly what his fans expect from him this far into his career...I wasn't even going to peep this so I'm pleasantly surprised

I agree with this and I think this should be the approach at this stage of his career.
I would love to see a whole Snoop album produced by Battlecat, Cat delivered on this project.
-
This Snoop album is his best since Blue Carpet for me from first listen 8)
-
I hope the Album comes out on CD , any Infos on that ?
-
There's enough good music on here to prove Snoop still has it in him to make a decent album
Here is a great album;
Neva Left
Moment I Fear
Back in the Days
Promise you This
Go On
Toss It
420 Blaze Up
Lavender
Mount Kushmore
Still Here
There's a 10 track album that would sound pretty consistent and get really good ratings. Not sure why Snoop always feels the need t throw these filler tracks on every album. But either way, glad to get some new Snoop keepers.
Stand out tracks for me are
Neva Left
Back in the Days
Go On
Still Here
-
I haven't heard the album yet, but i've been bumpin' "Lavender" more than any song on "Coolaid".
-
Production Credits:
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=327059
-
BC Powda's best beat in years on Big Mouth... but I feel like the lyricism wasn't up to par
-
neva left
- very familiar sample (THE CHARMELS - AS LONG AS I'VE GOT YOU) that our ears got used to from wu tang's c.r.e.a.m. song.
- its not a complete track, sounds like an intro track.
- 3/5
moment i feared
- wack beat. i was expecting better from rick rock. its a beat any amateur beatmaker can do in 3 minutes.
- 1/5
bacc in da dayz
- this is real snoop doggy dogg shit, real eastsidaz shit. i thought its a meech wells beat first. damn it bangs.
- i don't know who the fuck J-Massive is but he did a good job on the beat.
- 5/5
promise you this
- not bad. sounds like 90s shit with leads and percussions.
- 3/5
trash bags
- an ordinary song.
- 3/5
swivel
- another dissapointing track by rick rock
- 3/5
go on
- a funky/summer track.
- 4/5
big mouth
- typical west coast beat by battlecat
- not a classic, not a trash.
- 3.5/5
toss it
- very similar song to "promise you this"
- good to hear too short and snoop dogg together
- 3/5
420 (blaze up)
- like it or not track. some will love it some will skip it depends on the mood.
- bc did a good job on talk box
- 3.5/5
lavender (nightfall remix)
- #$&£!!????
- 1/5
let us begin
- snoop, krs-one and battlecat meets for the very first time
- unfortunately result is dissapointing except of krs's monster verse
- 3/5
mount kushmore
- good song. legendary mcs and smooth beat.
- 4/5
vapors (battlecat remix)
- doggfather sound. bc and charlie wilson on it too.
- 4/5
i'm still here
- i can say this is the smash hit of album. no other comment.
- 4.5/5
love around the world
- catchy beat and hook.
- 4/5
overall i couldn't find what i expected. especially i was very excited when i heard bc on 5 tracks and rick rock on 2 tracks.
but both bc and rick couldnt show their best. im very dissapointed.
-
I'm feeling the album after the first listen.
Other than Go on, there isn't a classic banger on there imo, but it's a solid project.
The sound is pretty cohesive (although it may not be to everyone's taste) helped by the fact Battlecat produced a few of the tracks. It's very synth based, funky basslines, percussions etc so it fits altogether pretty well I think.
Also a good thing is that the album is under 60min long, but I just feel some tracks could be cut even shorter.
I had no issue that some of the tracks are old, it was good to hear them in good quality.
The things I disliked were some of the hooks were corny and should have been redone and Snoop's vocal delivery/cadence could have been a bit harder (there was nothing wrong with his flow imo).
Overall it's like the majority of his catalogue it's very solid
-
some1 need to get at snoop bout them physicals
-
How is it compared to his last album, better/worse?
-
Defently better!
-
solid album as expected, definitely better than Coolaid which I still enjoyed... will buy when physicals are out 8)
-
so snoop callin this a solo album .. more proof that smokefest is a solo too
-

Better because of less fillers, Coolaid have some fillers, this new one, I only skip Trash Bag.
and the songs were not drawn out too

;D

just saw it .. he missed doggumdntary and reincarnated too
-
I'm lovin' this after a few spins, it's dope that "Lavender" is on this even though it wasn't originally Snoop's song. I now kind of wish Snoop would've added "Ghetto Boy" to this too since it wasn't released on Lalah Hathaway's album and Snoop added other older songs on this release too. "Ghetto Boy" even sounds more like Snoop's song than Lalah Hathaway's in my opinion. Snoop had two verses on it. I haven't stopped bumpin' it since it came out.
so snoop callin this a solo album .. more proof that smokefest is a solo too
Does it really matter? If you like the shit you like it, if you don't then you don't. Of course Snoop gon' call this a solo.

lmao nah I didn't take it off, I would honestly admit it if it was me just being petty but that's hilarious
-
so, after 1st listen its better than coolaid, really liked it.
no hit, but no filler either.

Same. For me, the closest thing he has to a hit is that track with October London and Big Mouth. Big Mouth goes hard in the headphones.
-
Hell yeah. "Big Mouth" is one of my favorites from the album.
-
Big mouth knocks
Go on would be a good single
And 'I'm still here' still my favourite.
Snoop is a natural, he can flow for days. His on the spot freestyle on the Pharmacy shows it comes to him naturally.
Still capable of dropping a really solid album, with the right coach and focus but I think he's past that stage now to care about all that and the rap game is not the same anymore.

that's the definition of Tha Doggfather album (No Hit/No Filler)
-
This is Snoop's best album in years. Only drawbaccs for me are (as usual with Snoop albums) too many guest artists, and the Vapors remix sounds really out of place and unnecessary ("Well, you all know Nate Dogg, who sings on my records" -- the lyrics on this song really didn't age well for a 2017 album release). And of course it would have been nice to get a Dre tracc since this is a throwbacc album, but I guess that's pretty much impossible these days.
Other than that, though, I love Snoop's energy and aggressive delivery on this joint, as if he were young again. He sounds so awesome over production with deep, slinky baselines, clearly placed drums and synth melodic lines. I just wish he would always make albums like this, because he obviously has it in him and it makes him sound his best. It's weird that in 2017 he was motivated to go bacc to his original steez, but I certainly cherish it because it's so rare for him to do so.
Good job, Snoop. Thanks for giving the fans what we actually wanted from you. :D But can we get a hard copy release? I'm not really a fan of buying albums off iTunes. :-\
-
hard copies of Coolaid dropped like a week or two after the digital release so maybe that will be the case with this one

Gave this another listen straight through with some time to sink in. The abundance of guest artists doesn't bother me anymore. I've basically come to the conclusion Snoop should've left off the Vapors remix and in a perfect world replaced Swivel with a Dre-produced tracc. It would be a great album with these changes, imo. It's still Snoop's best album since Blue Carpet, imo. I loved Bush, but it's not a rap album -- kind of a side project like 7 Days of Funk and the Mac and Dev soundtracc.
It will be interesting where Snoop goes from here, probably bacc to something soft like that rumored gospel album.

Still bumping this and K.dot's album hard....been a good summer so far

Good stuff, love all the old school references and cuts.

I had pre-ordered the physical copy of the album as soon as it was available on Amazon. Got a email today saying it was cancelled due to unavailability. However, I had noticed a few days ago that it no longer was available for pre-order and the status had changed to unavailable with no July 7 date listed anywhere anymore. Is this still getting released or were physical copies cancelled?

that's weird, but snoop had a video that showed them getting factory pressed on his ig, so i'm assuming they still gettin released....he did take that video down tho.

All the videos for snoop last album are garbage
-
Better than I thought I actually kept four songs off this album. 3 more albums like this and maybe I can put together a compilation album of snoop that I can bump st8 through without skips.

Should have stopped rapping in 2008.
