Lots of white people can sing along to? What do you mean by that? Why can't we as blacks enjoy the record like that? Do you consider it to be c00n music or Snoop selling out? State your claim in this because it sounds like you are getting into some social commentary issues with the record


I'm saying its a slightly corny lead single with all the familiar shtick associated with death row at the time and while its not a bad song necessarily, it's certainly not as ill as the stronger songs on the album. It's the type of song that was huge in frat parties.

Well yeah, that's the purpose of a single. Most singles are not the strongest songs on the album, if ever. It did exactly what it was supposed to do: it generated more buzz, made money, and gave Snoop a springboard single that he could use throughout his career.

You were 1 when it came out though. You lack perspective and are a bit of a doofus faux hipster type. Your ideas regarding this album are if little relevance.

But by comparison, Gin & Juice, G Thang, Let Me Ride, Deep Cover are some of the greatest songs the label ever released.

Not all songs are created equally.

True, but look at the songs you just named. Snoop was searching for some individualized identity after those classics, so he made his own classic. He wanted to show he could make it without Dr. Dre leading the way, and he did with that record

well-said. this was kind of death row's schtick.
its what separated them from their west coast gangsta rap peers.

meh. back then, the singles usually were amongst the stronger records on the album.

But it's not a great song. That's my entire stance here. Gin & Juice is a GREAT song. Doggy Dogg World is a great song. What's my name is kinda goofy.

Big Melanin-Deficient doesn't actually make ultra-wild declarations, it's just he's older and white and provokes knee-jerk reactions. Mel da Funky Eurosapien knows more about the context and history of r&b and rap than most cats in general who cling to this hiphop shyt. It just turns out he's a snide, abrasive white dude from Shaolin who says nikka when he's drunk, so people feel at ease dismissing his opinions. But the fact of the matter is the Fresh Prince of Mel Yeah actually is less a curmudgeonly hater than the weirdest poster on this site outside of Art Barr. I mean that in a good way, because Art Bizzy is his own entity, a ball of pure, concentrated light from another galaxy. Meltron 3030 actually advocates for Drizzy Drake da Emu Faced Suburban half-Jew GAWD, while being an unrepentant Wu Stan who denies he is a Wu Stan. He's like a bizarre collage of thoughts and opinions that can be insightful as fukk at one moment and somewhat cliche in an old school way at others. But he articulates his shyt soundly and flexes knowledge while infuriating mad cats, which makes him - like Artful Barnum and Bailey aka da kang of the coli circus - a unique and powerful poster on these boards, love him or hate him.

Also, is it really some wild, new shyt to find out that a lot of people take issue with "classic" albums? I can name a dozen I think are wack all the way through. And some of the same cats getting their panties in a bunch over this I've seen in other threads shytting on other classics. shyt, I remember when I made a thread about how laughably bad Warren G's Regulate album was - had nikkas coming for my head and shyt, no homo.

:manny:

P.S. - The Wu double album is almost as overrated as Life After Death. Be mad, Mel.

Where many murders occur
snoop just ripped the crowd on arsenio with WHAT'S MY NAME.....
Did he still say "nine trizzay's the yizzear", or did he update it with "2013's the yizzear"? And did they bleep out the swearing?



OP is on point with what he say about What's My Name, tho. It is a corny song for cacs. I remember when that shyt came out, and while most of the album was better than that song, the cacs went wild for What's My Name. :childplease: They ruin shyt when they act like it's the "omg coolest thing in like evar!!!". It was the song on the record they can relate to most, and so it got most airplay on radio and cac parties.

If the cacs left it alone, it'd be remembered better, but cac love brings shyt down about 6 levels.

:snoop: at all the cacs who started talkin about the LBC because they heard Snoop reppin it, but the cacs didn't even understand what the LBC was, or how the gang system in SoCal is setup

"I'm reppin the LBC, dude!!! Geez up, and whores down!! Word to your mother!!"
