Listened to Doggystyle for the first time yesterday(I'll give it a 7/10)...but mainly knew him from the MTV show he had plus Drop It Like It's Hot was one of the biggest hip hop songs ever.

as great as his run
so far gone is STILL
his best project
and closet to a classic he has had
dude has underachieved
he's just coasting by
not trying hard
dude is like the rap version of gohan
all that potential
but doesn't wanna give us greatness

24 and USA. Mainly listened to East Coast rap...haven't delved into WC music outside of Pac. Snoop was one of my favorites growing up so I decided to give that album a try yesterday.

He was 0 when Doggystyle came out. Of course he's not THAT familiar with Snoop Dogg's prime. Busta Rhymes was one of my favorites as a kid around 96-99...and i probably couldn't quote you **** from any Leaders of the New School's songs.

Snoop was like public enemy #1 for the old folks and that made him even more of a superstar.

Alright I'll just say starting off 50(GUnit), Cam(Dipset), and X(Ruff Ryders) were top 3 most listened to rappers growing up. NY(or East Coast rap music) was still dominating up until like 2009-2010(want to say this is when trap music starting to take off, not counting the ringtone era) and all I could go off from was singles because I didn't know about downloading/purchasing albums until like Senior Year in HS. Outside of those: Em, Nas, Snoop, Cassidy, Nelly, Jeezy, Ludacris, Wayne, ZRo, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire...a lot more I could list.
Add Lupe to that as well, his first 2 albums got a lot of spins from me as well.

you could say this about so many rappers tho.
sometimes artists are just good at providing a certain type of vibe rather than being diverse , i.e. drake, snoop and rap is really the only genre where having to cover x amount of topics and song types is a "rule"
pop/r&b acts can do the same thing for years and flourish bc its just enjoyable music

cant say that about pac
or nas
or big
they always give u something different
snoop is more or less the same

He mentioned it twice, but I also remember when Action Bronson was held in such high regard a little while ago. He had crazy hype behind him. I haven't followed him that close, but it seems like that spat with ghostface killa helped contribute to his decline

Episodes this week been some of the best. They need more of this and less of the gossip.

I'd argue to say trap music started takin' off 2005-6. TM-101, King, Best Thang Smokin'...
