▲ 12 ▼ This was Snoop Dogg's introduction into the rap world. (www.youtube.com) submitted 1 year ago by JPSound@lemmy.world to c/music@lemmy.world 4 comments fedilink hide all child comments I don't think there has ever been a harder drop for a 1st timer. This came out before The Chronic. Dre after NWA but before his solo career. Very unique track that really shaped the world of mainstream west coast/G-Funk hiphop.

No redemption arc for him, in my eyes. permalink fedilink source hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] JPSound@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 1 year ago I haven't liked Snoops new music in decades. But The Chronic, Doggy Style, a lot of stuff he did with The Dogg Pound, 2Pac all those OG G-Funk bangers are such a huge part of my childhood and I've kept them close to my heart since the 90s. He's unrecognizable now. However, I'm not going to deny myself the albums that are a part of who I am and what makes me me just because a ridiculously rich and global famous ex-G loses his way. It's not even the same guy anymore. It may be the same vessel, but what his music represents to me from those very early days are just too important to me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yep. I'm in mourning. Gonna be quite a while before I'm ready to listen to his older stuff again, but I'm never listening to another new thing he makes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] JPSound@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 1 year ago I was about to call bullshit on this because I thought there was no fucking way. I hadn't heard any of that before just a few minutes ago because I had too look it up. how embarrassing. G-Funk LBC King aka Mr 'Break the white man off something lovely, I don't love them so them can't love me" playing into the hands of the embodiment of all the absolute worst aspects of rich white dude culture. I'm so yuked out rn. permalink fedilink source parent
