"Dropped the 1st of the 3, and ya said it was weak"

It seemed even more mad weak at the time because people thought he was going to drop another Doggystyle. Snoop had only dropped Doggfather and people weren't feeling it, but everyone thought he just slipped up a bit and he'd back to Doggystyle standards on the next album. In interviews Snoop was agreeing he fell off with that album but he'd come back harder with this next one

So then he went to No Limit, so people were like awesome a new start for Snoop, get back with Dre maybe, make a dope album, etc etc but that shit was more of a disappointment than Doggfather! And so began the whole thing of people expecting a new Doggystyle each time out and being disappointed, the only difference being the level of disappointment each time out

The album was weak mainly because of the really low budget rushed beats, but there was some ok stuff on there. Knowing what we know now, it actually isn't all that weak compared to his usual albums, it's just it's ridiculously weak if you compare it to Doggystyle

I'd say Da Game... is on about the same level as Ego Trippin though, although listening to Da Game is actually painful in some parts, Ego Trippin is just boring mostly

Well yeah at the time it dropped I guess people just expected more.
