Snoop Dogg - What's the deal?

[Kid Afrika]

His shit is usually ok, but his freestyles on other artists tracks always kick the everloving shit out of anything off of his own albums. What the fuck is the deal?

i.e. - His freestyle on the new joint from Limp Biskit - Red Light Green Light.

Of course, I realize that spitting a verse is easier than writing a song. But give me a break, his collaborations are always way better than anything he does on his own.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

i dont think it is a freestyle on that song.

[HedCold]

you think that song is good?

[Kid Afrika]

It looked like he walked into the studio and wrote the "freestyle" on the spot on the MTV album launch show. Of course, I realize that there's a lot of editing and other cloaking involved in any TV show, but still...

And yes, I like the song. But that wasn't the point of this thread, only one example.

"Red Light - Green Light"

Freak baby, freak freak baby [x2]
Red light, green light [x3]
You ready to roll?
Tell me when you're ready to go [x2]
I got the keys baby, put your mind at ease baby
Go playa, layin' the cheese baby
I know you bitin', bitin' my steez baby
But i came, came to please baby
Don't wait, lay the greeze baby
Don't flake, shake the knees baby
Your fella's mad at me baby, oh well, enemies baby
Who's braggin' they raggin' on me baby?
Who's breath is draggin' on me baby?
Who steps through all agony baby?
Who's checks are bigger than me baby?
Who thinks before it goes down baby?
Who rocks in every town baby?
I don't know if it ain't me
Must be a clone on this microphone baby
[chorus]
Red light, green light [x3]
You ready to roll?
Tell me when you're ready to go [x2]
(you know i'm down and ready to go)
Jump in the who ride, slide to the rhythm of
Snoop d.o. double g nigga from the dub
I represent it to the fullest everywhere i go
Guaranteed to bust a ho, yeah i'm so original
I don't have to, i told you from the get go
I like to lay low with my niggas blowin' endo
We like to drink, talk shit, and spit at bitches
And that's the way we do it, sometimes we hittin' switches
In the low-rider slidin' to the hood and back
It's snoop dogg in the muthafuckin' cadillac
They call it snoop deville for real
I get the money and i never ever pop no pills
I used to pop'em, i'm lyin' to these motherfuckers now
I used to do all kind of shit when i was wild
They used to call me lil' bow wow now i'm big bow wow
In this motherfucka bustin' a freestyle
Snoop dogg is in the place to see, do it with my nephew
Freddy d
Ooh wee, in the place to see
Snoop d.o. double g from the d.p.g.c.
[chorus]
Freak baby, freak freak baby [x3]
Look who's talkin' it up baby
One more chalkin' it up baby
Star maps stalkin' it up baby
My dogs barkin' it up baby
Who'd a thought i'd be layin it down baby?
Who'd a thought i'd be turnin' your frown baby?
Never know about things these days baby
' till your cell phone rings and it's me baby
[chorus]

yea, genius


this song sucks, baby

[Keyser Soze]

anything associated with limp bizcut sucks by facto

[The Sleeper]

B-I-Z-K-I-T

ITS NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE

[HollywoodJewMoses]

its not a freestyle if he writes things down.

[Kid Afrika]

You guys are totally missing the point of this thread. Not that it is totally unusual, but thanks.

[Hybrid]

u r 2 smart 4 us

[Kid Afrika]

Your mother sucks cock for food stamps.

[Hybrid]

your mom took a time machine back to 1997 when mom jokes were funny

[Kid Afrika]

My comment was about as fitting are your "u r 2 smart 4 us" comment. I never implied that I was more intelligent. I simply implied that threads around here seldom stick to the original point. But, whatever. Whatever the fuck ever.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

REMEMBER HOW THIS PLACE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE??????

[GonzoStyle]

I usually find snoop to be horrible when doin guest apperances lately. Actually he hasn't put out anything good in a while. "Beautiful" was pop bullshit IMHO and the whole "paid tha cost to be the bo$$" album was pretty much trash. Red Light/Green Light is horrible.

You can never compare any of his "freestyle" or guest spots to his classic days with Doggystyle and on the chronic.

[Kid Afrika]

I too agree that paid the coss to be the boss was total crap. My point is of the shit he's done lately his collaborations are by far better than his own shit. Apparently my opinion of music differs from the rest of you, which is fine.

[GonzoStyle]

Honestly I havent heard much out of him except for the PIMP remix and the limp song and a few others.

Maybe I just ain't heard some stuff that you're talkin about.

[PatCooper]

I like his new song that's on the Neptunes Clones cd. And Red Light Green Light does suck. But Snoop does say in the song that it's a freestyle.
