its not Tha Doggfather like most people think… matter fact Snoop first 5 albums range from good to great
Da Game easily. It wasn't a bad album by any means, but good fukking grief that 98 No Limit sound aged like pelican shyt . It really dawned on me that even Snoops WOAT album isn't bad by the standards of lyricism and cadence...its just aging like BBTP lazy beats for that time, Ego Trippin's dated meme songs, and Malice in Wonderland's whatever the hell.
It's a shame he was cool with it being just another No Limit album because there's some heat he had in 1998 that would have made the album 10x better had the tracks been put on Da Game instead of Soundtracks/remaining in the vault
Looking back...Gumbo Snoop was something. Not bad, not good, but something .Thankfully he came to his own with Topp Dogg and of course Tha Last Meal.
