Snoop Dogg’s No Limit debut came with an underrated sequel to one of his classics, “Gin & Juice II.”
The resulting album, Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told, remains an interesting one to unpack. Lined with No Limit guests like Fiend, Mystikal, C Murder, and Master P, it may very well be the most sonically unique project of his career — and that’s saying something. Yet there were some ties to his previous life, namely in the shape of “Gin And Juice II,” a sequel that some might not even remember hearing. Retaining its predecessor’s funkadelic vibe, Snoop leaves the party days behind, instead offering a more calculated (almost menacing) performance. Despite the Doggystyle classic’s legendary reputation, “Gin & Juice II” stands as an excellent, and clearly underappreciated chapter in the Snoop Dogg story.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
I’m too fucked up off that G-I and juice
C-I get loose, n***a what ya’ll wanna do
I got a crew, but I choose to roll solo
Especially on Sundays dippin in my low-low
Convertible top spot for the Glock
I ain’t fuckin with the hen dog, so toss out the sauce hot
