I thought I'd never buy another Snoop Dogg album

[Big BpG]

I like to think that as a Snoop Dogg fan, I was one of the biggest. Not only did I buy all his albums, but I bought other albums that he was featured on. I was on this board all day every day (The posts don't lie), but mainly in the first few years. I even dedicated a website to him, but those days of fanaticism are over. What it came down to was the music. His music went in a much different direction. That neptune laced PTCTBTB album was garbage to me. R&G got some decent spins, but after that I didn't even blink. Blue Carpet was Meh, even Dre bored me.  Ego Trippin had Press Play and that was it. Malice, well that shit couldn't even be a mixtape (Gangsta Luv Included).

So yes, I've heard them all, but I haven't shelled a penny since R&G. I didn't even D/L his last three albums. Even more so, Snoop did a show here back in Feb, 3 blocks from my house and I didn't even give a shit.

but...

Doggumentary ... This album is great! Will I open my wallet for it? Pleezbaleevit!

I'm just saying I'm real happy to have some Snoop Dogg music back in my eardrums. I'm 28 now. I was 10 years old when I saw Snoop morph into a Doberman Pinscher, so I've seen my share of ups and downs in his career. This album sits right under Last Meal.

[LAZY]

i havnt heard the album yet. but the songs i heard were dope.

Yep.

Malice = great diverse contemporary pop album. Better than BEP's The End, Gaga, La Roux - all that shit that got major propped in 2010.

More Malice = Snoop on his independent gangsta tip, with some smooth thug shit too 'You're Gonna Luv Me' is still my Jam.

[GangstaBoogy]

I haven't heard doggumentary yet but putting it over top dogg? I doubt that's possible

R&G over blue carpet?! Seriously? Blue carpet wasn't the best album but it was solid, r&g only had one song 2 songs I'd listen to (drop it like its hot, let's get blown)

And you have paid the cost way too low. That was a nice album just took some getting used to cuz the sound was so different

r and g banged...control ya hoe and promise i were the sleeper joints on that album. the intro is cold as fuck too.

[Will_B]

1 Doggystyle

2 Tha Doggfather

3 The Game Is To Be Sold, Not Told <---------- overlooked classic

4 No Limit Top Dogg / Tha Last Meal (joint 4th)

5 Tha Blue Carpet Treatment

6 Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$

7 More Malice / Ego Trippin (joint 7th)

8 Malice In Wonderland

9 R&G

[Sir Petey]

[Will_B]

Sure it's down to taste but apart from the Doggy Style Records camp on there (Meech, Pooh, Soopafly, Charlie Wilson), you also got 2 incredible joints by Carlos Stephens  - Gin & Juice II and Game Of Life. Plus smooooothhh production by DJ Darryl on 'Don't Let Go' who's done classics including D-Shots 'Money, Sex & Thugs' (one of my all time favourite joints!!). And Snoop nails the no limit sound tracks better than No Limits home grown artists. Like Master P said he brought money power respect, street knowledge and wisdom. To me the CD just has a classic sound.

[J-FUNKTION]

i agree....first snoop album in buying since the last meal...

If you include "More Malice" album in your list, you should also include "Dead Man Walkin" on it. Both are compilations.

R&G over blue carpet?! Seriously? Blue carpet wasn't the best album but it was solid, r&g only had one song 2 songs I'd listen to (drop it like its hot, let's get blown)

"That's That Shit" >>> Any track off of R&G
"Imagine" >>> Any track off of R&G

[Okka]

"Bang Out", "Oh No" and "Ups And Downs" are the only songs i still bump from "Rhythm & Gangsta", i consider it one of Snoop's weakest albums for sure. It ain't nowhere close to being as good as "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment".
