Please refer to my previous post

I honestly don't even think Snoop wanted to rap like that tbh. I think he was just in the right place at the right time and capitalized on the moment, and was simply excited enough about the opportunity, and the beats prime-era Dre was making at the time, that "Doggystyle" ended up being what it was

Dude rode the money train afterwards and I don't even blame him

Idk man, maybe because I'm from the west coast. AZ to be specific. Not to mention his work with the Dogg Pound, Tha Eastsidaz, he's done so much for the west coast underground.

Snoop is one of them rappers I don't go to for bars at ALL, just vibes and feelings lmao he's good for driving around the valley to

Nope. Snoop got too many bangers outside of the singles to say that.

Not even talking bars, been known Snoop isn't super lyrical

He's just, idk, kinda just decent overall. Legendary off the strength of his debut, but that's about it honestly

Yeah that's what I mean, he's high on my list because I've lived with his music in the setting it was created in, and also seen others in my area appraise him so much so thats why I say its most likely just regional. Man Wrong Idea at a cookout will turn the place upside down af.

i most def get why someone will call him decent tho, it don't hit the same any where else but over here in the AZ/Vegas/LA area

Dom K and Snoop both in my non-traditional top 5's

Wasn’t ‘Doggumentary’ initially Doggystyle 2?

That album was hot garbage. Stillmatic is basically Illmatic 2, therefore Nas wins

That's weird I've never considered that. Has Nas ever came out and said that Stillmatic was a sequel?

“Non-traditional”? Snoop is the most generic “top 5” rapper along with Pac and Biggie

WLR 2

Lmfaoooo fam Snoop is in no ones top 5

Pac, Big, Nas, Hov, and Em

Not a “sequel” per se, but more of a back to basics and revisiting what made him hot in the first place.

Prior to Stillmatic, he dropped I Am and Nastradamus so he was losing a lot of respect in hip hop

Rightfully so. Them s***s was a two pack of ass.

I Am only gets hate cause it didn’t sound like some NY rap s*** at the time. That album is flames with a few misses nowadays imo.

Lol nah I hate that album, its sooooo bad. only albums I like pre-Stillmatic are Illmatic, It Was Written and the Lost Tapes. I should listen again tho I haven't heard it in nearly 5-6 years

I’ll say all those are better than I Am but I Am gets too much hate

When will we admit that Lost Tapes is better than Illmatic?

hmmmmm lemme think hmmm

Neither, I didn’t have even like the original doggy style, why would I want a second one?

Doggystyle for the vibes

doggystyle 2. illmatic shouldn't be touched

Neither
