Then after he couldnt take Suge slapping nikkas up, Dre left, and Pac died he was shook of that life, so then it was...

Do you really though? Cause I can't tell

Dude's been in the game 20 years...regular everyday people change more in a fraction of the time...let alone some millionaire entertainer with all kinds of leisure time and the added incentive of having to reinvent his brand to stay relevant...people change as much as the times do...any artist that's been around literally over the span of decades has gone through all kinds of changes

Thats understandable, but his "changes" are gimmicks. Cant take them seriously. He was supposed to be a long beach 20 crip when he first got signed but after he realized he wasnt really about that life he ran to No Limit to be a Godfather :beli: then the whole pimp thing? nikka been married forever why are you promoting yourself as a pimp. What kind of pimp is married? Gimmicks

Where you not old enough or not listening to Snoop when he first started rapping?? Dude was what 17 or something...at 17 mostly everybody is running around causing trouble, acting thugish...but the blasphemy is you saying then all of a sudden he was a pimp??? Did you not see the fukking Doggy Dogg World video?????????? The whole theme was pimped the fukk out. You acting like he became a pimp when he went to No Limit. This is why the younger generation bothers me...If you weren't listening to music when it actually came out, please don't comment on it....1994, how many people where actually listening to Snoop that year???

Pretentious swag rap...

"I'm gonna rap about the same exact things that 99% of the game does but I'm gonna wrap it in European Art Deco and surround it with ballet dancers. And people will label it genius"


It works...

:manny:

Or

N.O. Hotboy Weezy, meet, Druglord Weezy, meet, Gangbang Weezy, meet, Punk Rock Weezy, meet Skateboard Weezy..While consistently getting lyrically and conceptually worse through each progression...

Which also works...
