Classics Discussion: Snoop Dogg

[Ukbrotha]

Snoop has a bunch of good albums actually. Sometimes I feel like tha last meal, topdog and r&g could have been classic if Doggystyle didn't exist. But nothing compares to Doggystyle. Definition of a classic album.

 

[OHSNAP!]

Ppl are seriously underestimating NL Top Dogg

That album had anthems (B Please, Down 4 My N's), influence (back to the roots Westcoast, shortly before Dre's huge return) and dope cuts (Don't Trust Me, Heat Goes Boom, Just Dippin', Bussn Rocks, Don't Tell...)

I started out kinda salty that every voted NO for No Limit Top Dog...

BUT THEN....

I saw everyone voted NO for R&G

thats a classic record brehs...i wish yall were able to experience that like the rest of us.

Breh, i love that record.

That album come out when I first met my wife too ..... fresh pair of panties was the jam good lord

Ups & Downs, Perfect, Can you control your hoe

My personal thoughts aside, I don't think I could justify it being a classic in hip hop . But i don't care

What do you guys think prevented Snoop from getting more classics down the line?

First album he sounded hungry and fresh, also the beats.

Snoop has classic songs in his catalogue, throughout his career.

Not many have more than one classic album, that is hard to do.

Ultimately, I'd probably have to say not having Dre (Daz ) produce a whole album for him again. It's one of the GOAT MC/producer duo's and i think if this happened, Snoop would have had another classic during this period.

Side note: I'm very much a fan of the direction he is going now, he has the charisma and voice for it. 7 Days of Funk and Bush are fire.

Talk about westcoast hip hop but be from Scotland brehs.

yeah he's still holding it down, and I think his rap style is made for the long run tbh, so it's great to see he hasn't lost a step at least lyrically. But you're not gonna get back that old school ferocity and energy and Dre's beats and what have you.

A classic is often captured in time anyway, it's not like you're guaranteed one every time you step to the mic.

There's not even one remotely good track on this album

They're all top tier, even the lesser known and appreciated ones like Pump Pump. Just such an adventure from start to end.

What are everyone's top 3 tracks on the LP?

- Murder was the Case
- Tha Shiznit
- Doggy Dog World (best song)

Doggy Dogg World (which is my favorite Snoop song period)
Tha Shiznit
Gz Up Hoes Down

 

[Deltron]

I think what prevented him with another consensus classic was a lack of focus/direction with his albums.

My top 3 doggystyle tracks:

Who Am I
Ain't No Fun
Murder was the Case

 

[mr.africa]

doggystyle is just beautiful,man!!!l
love that album!!!!

Doggystyle is definitely Snoops lone classic, but I don't think some of his other albums get enough love. Top Dogg No Limit and the Last Meal are very good albums and Paid the Cost is underrated. R & G has a few gems as well.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I consider Doggystyle a classic. Tha Last Meal to be very close, also No Limit Top Dogg and Paid Tha Cost... to be very solid.

1st half of Blue Carpet Treatment is prolly my favorite Snoop material, but the album takes a nosedive halfway thru unfortunately

snoop's in my book for better or for worse the most iconic figure in hip hop history and without a doubt the most diverse, nobody can do everything like snoop does
i also think his albums are way too long his fat trimming skills arent great
he only gets doggystyle as a classic, but what a legend uncle snoop is...
