The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Even if it is the 'Riders' beat/chorus with Snoop chiming in, I'm still going to become madly in anger with the song the first time I hear it. I even kinda like Snoop, but christ...don't fuck with classics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 This is what happens when an artist does not have to go the original artist before doing a cover. I hate when cover songs cross genres like that, except for a VERY select few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Sadly, I feel Snoop needs to hang up the microphone, take his place in the Rap Hall of Fame (I know there isn't one, just saying) and pass that torch on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 I still think Snoop has at least one more great album in him. His work on The Chronic and Doggystyle pretty much cemented his greatness and spot in Rap's hall of fame, but I really do believe he can drop one more great album. At least I hope so.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 6, 2004 I have no problem with this, but I also have no problem with covers in general. This could be good or it could be terrible, but either way it should be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2004 I just hope he doesn't call it something like Ridizzle on the Stizzorm. Especially considering that my Jerry Falwell biography of the same name is being released later this month in select markets. Imagine the confusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JamesHetfield Report post Posted November 9, 2004 Snoop can cover anything brother. He rocked out on "Sad But True". For RIZEAL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ant_7000 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Snoop is too garbage to be a Rap HOF famer, one hot album and that was 11 years ago is just not enough to me. Snoop is only relevant today because of his coonery and buffonery acting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Syxx Report post Posted November 10, 2004 One hot album? Gotta disagree on that one. He at least gets another half or full album credit for having such a prominent role on "The Chronic". In addition to that Dogg Food was a tight album as well. You may disagree with this, but "Tha Doggfather" was my personal favorite album of his so he has definitely earned a spot in RHOF.
