If rapping about dikks and balls is top tier lyricism to you, to each his own :hubie:

A lot more variety on an outkast album

More maturity as well. Even on the first lp
i like variety to, but music is music thus entertainment. All that maturity and susbtance is secondary and is not needed if something is good let alone great/classic. Plus Snoop has introspection on the album(Murder was the case) so the album has more all aroundness than given credit for.

plus your conflating content with lyricism.

Andre and big boi are clearly better rappers than snoop breh

If you've hears one snoop verse, you've pretty much heard em all

Outkast switch up flows and beats.

And I like doggystyle. But there are a lot better albums in rap

Snoop don't have a get up get out or 13th floor type record on there

And content is inherently apart of lyricism. It's one of the main factors that affect lyrical ability. You lose points if your content is wack or generic. I can't put you up there if you ain't saying shyt. Even if you try to hide it with multis and delivery, what's the use if you just saying gibberish.

I dont think even snoop dogg would disagree that any of outkast's first 5 albums are better than doggystyle

Really, we can just focus on their debuts and it still remains the same

Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is more replayable and has held up better

All doggystyle has is production and snoop charisma/flow

But there's simply not much of substance there :manny:

Can't appreciate any albums without outkast fans crying I swear...

Kast is great. 2nd and 3rd albums are arguably as good or Better than doggystyle, I prefer doggystyle, you may choose outkast.

Saying stankonia or the love below is better than doggystyle is wild af to me but do you. It's like an East coast head saying capital punishment is better than doggystyle.

A lot of Dre's albums from '89-'93 would have mad raps about d*cks and balls for some reason, lol. I can't even bother to guess why that is.

But Doggystyle was sonically next level. You could just tell he was in the zone with Snoop around that time. Such a classic project. It's a shame they never got a chance to work on that level again. Snoop was looking like he was about to go on a run, but that kinda ended with the debut.

yeah im not sure why this song hasnt been put out cause crooked i ised that exact beat for a song of his so its obviously no issue with sample clearances

Prolly just not enough money involved for them to release it unfortunately.

Snoop could package the old stuff in w/ a new album or something.
