i get your point numbers wise - Nas has a large hip hop following - as does Snoop so i also get what your trying to say.. I saw jr gong and nas play in chicago last year - and the crowd liked Nas allot - half of the songs were without Damian, the crowd in chicago was louder for the Nas solo songs - but i could of not seen them and been happier - lol - but from what i have seen is Nas is extemely racist against whites - and that doesnt sit well with me - and maybe it influences whether i would like his music or not..

i definitely dont think Snoop should go hardcore and sing in patwa... but his point was he wants to make reggae - something his family can enjoy.. and this comes from a extended stay in jamaica - so i believe it is pure..

La La La hasnt won me over for artist of the year - but if he sticks with it - id like to think the lion could make a nice roar.. : )

i was in high school when doggystyle was released - that and Dre's 'the chronic' are the classic albums of hip hop. that being said - why not embrace the idea that he wants to make reggae - i will listen - so will many others - and Snoop is way past the need to impress everyone.. hes doin what he feels he should - good for him..
