I love that album! But I know what's the catch about it and I knew it could have been better once it came out and once that I did it but it was my first record, and what I was doin' was I was makin' a model, I didn't know how to make a record, I knew how mentally, but physically and actually I had never made one, I just had the game to do make it. So what that was, that was a model, that was me takin' a shot dog, that was me sayin' "here's bad azz, whoopty woop I'm 22 years old, I never made a record, I been rappin' all this time, I'm makin' it professional, put it together and put it out. win loose or draw" And that's why I was proud of it. Like I said, I felt it could have been better, I felt I coulda done a lil more job to up my standards because I didn't put out the best record at that time when I had the mentality and I had the rap skills to do it. And that's where I learned alot from.
I gotta go with the first album, really close to a classic album in my opinion. If we're talkin about that "Classic" is an album you love from the start to the end and can bump it like that. I agree with Bad Azz though, it could've been a bit better. He should have taken a couple songs off. Here's what Bad Azz had to say about "Word On Tha Streets":QuoteI love that album!

Snoop and the West really had a resurgence then. It was a lot of artist like the Kokaines and Butch Cassidy and all the little producers they were really like a family at Dogghouse Records, the first Eastsidaz album was solid top to bottom and Last Meal everybody contributed to create posibly Snoops best album after Doggystyle. From about 99 to 2002 Snoop and Dogghouse really spearheaded a West Coast resergence. (Along with Dre and Xzibit who deserve as much or more of the credit for bringing the west back)
Then you got one of the most under-rated rap songs of all time on the album. Track 17. "The Last Time" is a very touching track. Apparantly one of the producers he workded with on that joint has a famous father or something but there was some cool back story to it someone posted here once.
