@TechnicalBarbarity all your game talk reminded me to show you this, thought you might enjoy it. The beat is more throwback than usual which is cool, and the lyrics dip into some cool topics. Wish his whole new album had this kinda vibe to it. Oh my fucking god this beat is so bouncy!!! lmfao that was so good, they could have made that beat loop for 30 minutes with just dude saying "clack clack clack" over and over and I'd be in heaven.
Didn't we talk about it the other week? My bad I thought I got back to you, yeah I liked it a lot man. I've bumped the tape at least 3 times since I got it. I like that it has some outta leftfield beats too like "(Tear 'Em Off) Me & My Doggz." Man this guy knows how to pick some really good modern mobb beats, E-40 would be proud. "I been on the block like dog piss" hahaha.
Recently I've been keeping an eye out for one of these, they sold out ages ago and there's some floating around, but just waiting for a good size and a decent price.
dat intro doe. OH MY GOD, DEY WANT TO EAT MY HUSBAND! :lol Yea that album on a whole sounds very different from Doggystyle. I still think its solid as fuck top to bottom. It has a more raw pre-gfunk west coast sound. Same thing with those damu and rip ridaz albums. "watch where you trip at becaus you can get split down the middle like a kit-kat"
Have you heard Piru Love? One of the better known(around here at least) songs from the damu ridas ... and a few more Rip Ridaz classics from the early 90's...
I heard that third track before I think, that was nice and smooth. That second track was raw as fuck though haha sounded like it was recorded in the fucking day room! Liking all these femcees too by the way. Especially that one in "Steady Dippin" she had an awesome style. Never heard these Snoop tracks before don't think, listening to the first one now. Edit: Oh another femcee haha, nice.
[raises hand] Probably his best album right there, or at least my favourite of his stuff. I feel like he perfectly balanced his trad rap with his experimentalism with that one, and before and after the balances are always a bit off for me. If you haven't already, check out his battle rapping. Even if you don't like battle rap, he's great and entertaining as fuck.
Yeah prob my favorite as well, although I dig the stuff after it as well. Checked out a few of his battle raps when I first got into him, yeah they're fucking dope.
I really like selected tracks from him, particularly Diethyl, Night of Fear, Cyclothymic Tea, and of course Monstrosity w/ Yugen which was how I discovered him in the first place.
