Snoop Dogg has announced vinyl reissues of two of his classic ‘90s albums, Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told and No Limit Top Dogg.
Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told marked Snoop Dogg’s first official release on Master P’s No Limit Records. The album, released after Snoop Dogg lost two friends to gun violence in Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, produced two Top 20 Billboard singles: “Woof” and “Still a G Thang.” The latter has long been considered one of Snoop Dogg’s definitive tracks. Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told featured Master P, Mystikal, C-Murder, and Steady Mobb’n, among others.
No Limit Top Dogg is Snoop Dogg’s fourth studio album. Released on May 11, 1999 under No Limit Records and Priority Records, the album reunited Snoop with his mentor Dr. Dre and features production from legends like DJ Quik, G-One, Jelly Roll. Together, they refined the West Coast G-Funk style. The record hit No. 1 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album features singles “Buck’em’ [Ft. Sticky Fingaz], “Down 4 My N’s” [Ft. C-Murder and Magic], and “Bitch Please” [Ft. Xzibit].
