this is revisionist.
cuz snoop & xzibit's "bi*ch please"(produced by dre) was the song that set it off months beforehand, and it was bigger than "still dre".
the media basically wrote it out the books because of whose dime it was on, and whose dime it wasnt on.
TBH, there wasnt much that came out of this anyway.
bytch Please was a surprise hit because out here on the Left when Snoop went to No Limit we wasn't feeling it, the move and the Beats by The Pound production on his album didn't go well we want that G shyt, he moved down south nikkas felt like he jumped ship
So Snoop knew what's up that's why he came back on home for his 2nd NL album we heard he going back to that G shyt so when he dropped bytch Please with Xzibit and Dre production it was the appetizer it set shyt in motion the west felt good, but Snoop still had the stigma and that NL stamp.
The West wanted a West Coast Album from a West Coast Label a straight California with no Southern cosign, no bounce track
No diss to Snoop but we was waiting for Dre, Snoop had his chance and blew it by going the southern route, all was forgiven with top dog but you was look at as a NL artist..
Still Dre was a street banger, bytch Please was a club banger.... Stil Dre had a bigger impact out here in California
