Released: 2001
The No Limit model clearly drew a lot from Death Row before it, particularly in the use of posse cuts with interchangeable rosters. When Snoop unexpectedly came to The Tank, he produced some great records but never quite felt like a comfortable fit, his smoothed-out flow often sounding ill-suited to Beats By The Pound's tinny sound. "Lay Low" stands as the most successful product of the alliance because it puts P in Snoop's world, not the other way around. Dr. Dre's beat could sit comfortably on his 2001 and has the very Dre effect of being greater than the sum of its parts, making all of Snoop's weed carriers (and maybe even P himself) sound better than they ever had.
