Title: "Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not to be told"
Post by: Hatesrats™ on April 09, 2002, 01:27:54 PM: (http://gs.cdnow.com/graphics/COVERART/local/L/50/82/00065082.jpg)

Yo I was recently bumpin' this album almost all last week & this weekend n' shit all over again. (Haven't really bumped it this much since 98')
But yo this cd is tight as fucc, I don't mean to break out with old ass topics n' shitt, but this cd really deserves much more props than it get's (or dosen't get).

To me it's like hearing vintage Beats by the pound, and a very Hungry Snoop Dogg (out to prove he can do it alone without Dre), Together this mixture was a perfect blend of South/West coast gangsta shitt.

And like the homie "Slikk" said months ago....If ya Watch the movie "Da Game of Life" the music on this lp make alot more sense in term's that the feel and the attitude of the film are represented perfect through Snoop's Album. (it's the soundtrack)

If ya have it....Give it another try, If ya haven't purchased it yet cause of all the bad reveiews n' shitt, copp it, It won't dissapoint. (And trust me it's not as bad as people make it seem)
And watch the movie if ya have access to it. ;)

Classic No Limit beats + Hungry Snoop= a very good album.

Imo...of course

Word! I like this album because its Snoop in RARE forum. He only made one TRU NL album and it's probably the only NL album that Ill bump from start to finish. I may not dig all of the cuts, but I can listen from start to finish.

Nice flashback!

Amen to that, Snoop is capable for a much better show than this, and not just not the beats, cause he aint makin beats anyway.
Like Snoop said on a skit: "BEATS? So that's what makes me now?"

Post by: EastsideLBC on April 09, 2002, 03:06:50 PM: This was tight album, but NL just trashed it IMO with their grunts and shit like that durin Snoops flow! Snoop didnt mix with NL at all but he showed that he can make hits anywhere he wants to!! The beats didnt mix either with Snoop. Tight album tho from start to finish!!

Post by: BL7 on April 09, 2002, 04:37:04 PM: Damn AxleF, Soopafly looks fucked up in that pic. :-X This album was okay, it had a few bangers, but overall I still think it's his worst album.
Title: Re: "Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not to be told"
Post by: Nosak on April 09, 2002, 04:40:11 PM: see i wasn't bullshitin about this, and since doggfather's days snoop say he didn't gave a fuck about beat ( freestyle). i still bump it if u wanna know, like some people said already , yA'll hatin on this cause it's a no limit album thats it, maybe it's the worst album of snoop but it ain't bad in tha industry, a good album.

just an off post shit : " the fact that i'm WHITE is probably the reason i sold double the records(sales)....what u think about this , eminem said it all by himself .. this nigga is real with his life and reality shit . i like that

Post by: PLANT on April 09, 2002, 05:29:36 PM: i love this album right here...it came out when i was in grade 8 and this album got me really into hip-hop...i always liked snoop as a kid but never bought hip-hop albums cept i had a doggystlye tape...ok then all the death row drama and shit snoop and dre layin low i didnt hear snoops name for awhile after doggfather and then it happend...i was chillin at my girls and the video for "still a g thing" came on...i was hooked from there on...i thought that was the dopest shit i ever heard...damn thats snoop most underated song rigth there...so anyway i bought the album, loved it, and ever since ive been into hip-hop like crazy...its safe to say music is my life cept for my girl...but yea this album is fuckin dope...showcases snoops true talent to ajust to different beats and intensity levels...

Title: Re: "Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not to be told"
Post by: The Watcher on April 09, 2002, 06:19:33 PM: this album came as a shock to me, since I wasnt with the whole internet hiphop thing when this came out, and I almost had a heart attack when I saw snoop was off deathrow. The album is OK at best, i wouldnt say its 1.5/5, maybe 3. It was the first no limit cd I ever bought, and im not ashamed to admit that I probably have every no limit cd up until 'da last don' heh!
Title: Re: "Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not to be told"
Post by: Big BpG on April 09, 2002, 06:30:02 PM: For Real... this album got me into hip hop... no other album did... i never heard of doggystyle until a few months later, but Da Game... damn, now that shit dropped platter... it was the food i was missing

Post by: KVB on April 09, 2002, 06:34:16 PM: This album is straight up wack in my opinion... although I liked "Snoop World" & "Gin & Juice II" they can't save the album from slumping into mediocrity

Word homie....Light one up, Trust me 98' sounds better than it did back then...lol

It's a totaly different Snoop than were used to, and we'll prob never hear Snoop Do his thizzle to beats like that...so I figure it's a piece of Snoop dogg nostalgia.

Copp it homie..

Good list, but I wouldn't count Dead Man Walkin though, as Snoop didn't have much to do with it.
