 "Have You Ever Seen...Sooo Much Style?" (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars)
Submitted on: 2009-06-15 |

Tha Dogg Pound, Daz and Kurupt (some might include Snoop as well), were probably recognized as one of the biggest names to come out of the west coast. After numerous appearances on such great albums as The Chronic, and Doggystyle, they finally get a release in 1995, during the west impact in hip hop music, and gangsta rap. Surprisingly enough, the rhyme styles are great here, even though I believe at that time Kurupt was a little better than Daz Dillinger (but he had great production skills, so that balanced the two out).
Now the album is great, as each song is well crafted. "Dogg Pound Gangstaz" and "Respect" really starts the album on a high note. Their most controversial track "New York, New York" really was a shot to the east coast (see the video for numerous examples), at the time where the battle between the east and the west coast was starting to heat up. "Smooth" is another dope G-funk track. I really like "Cyco-lic-no (B**** A** N*****)" featuring Mr. Malik. Further down the album is another single "Lets Play House" featuring Nate Dogg and Jewell, a nice sing-a-long song with a catchy hook. "Do What I Feel" really showcases the duo's lyrical skills along with Death Row member Lady of Rage. "If We All Fu**", and "Some Bomb..." are self explanatory, with very little difference in lyrical content in between the songs. Towards the end of the album, "One By One" is a strong song (and not many realize but Daz takes an indirect shot at Cold 187um and Kokane). The album finishes with an excellent "Sooo Much Style", to end on a high note.
Dogg Food is one of the many great releases from the west coast between 1994-1996. The album's lyrics and vibes are almost perfect in my opinion. This is a definite for any fan of the west coast. Peace.

Hands down. Dogg Food does not get it's due. This is the last great G-Funk record by Death Row. Great production by Daz and incredible lyricism from Kurupt, who in my opinion is one of the greatest rappers ever.
The whole joint is a classic. |

One Of The Best Albums Ever

| Daz and Kurupt make up the legendary Long Beach duo Tha Dogg Pound. 1995 was the year they dropped the album that further changed the game that The Chronic and Doggystyle did the 3 years before. The production on this album is 2nd to none and handled by mostly Daz himself (DJ Pooh, Soopafly, and Dre add some mixing and production as well), one of the best producers in the game. This album is some of the finest examples of G-Funk ever conceived. The sad thing, is that it took some time for it to grow on me before I was a more serious rap head like I am now. But I now recognize fully that this album is a masterpiece. My favorite jam is "I Don't Wanna Dream About Gettin' Paid" where Daz and Kurupt tell stories about trying to make it. Daz' verse is the best because he paints a nice picture about ditching a loser job to follow the drug trade to make faster scrilla. The beat is laidback, melodic, and soulful with Nate Dogg providing a nice backdrop in the hook. Daz and Kurupt can battle rap very well, a style often associated with East Coast rap. They do so against the Ruthless Camp on "Dogg Pound Gangstaz" over a hard mobbin beat. "Cyco-Lic-No" has one of the deepest and smoothest beats that are loud enough to blow ya speakers; just listen to the bass! "Reality" kicks in some trillness by DPG over another beautiful Long Beach style banger beat. "One By One" is another classic with an airy beat with both kicking serious flows. They battle rhyme with precision. Kurupt has a sick and fluid flow; he can flow complex, yet make it sound so easy. This album is a total testament of the Death Row legacy; better yet, it is a testment to the Long Beach rap legacy. Don't sleep. This album is the definition of G-Funk and why the sub-genre is so great. |

The best album they ever made
Submitted on: 2006-11-27 |

| This album came out at a time when Deathrow Records was king and you were guaranteed a solid release from Deathrow(The Chronic, Doggystyle, Above the Rim, All Eyez On Me etc). Standout Tracks: DOGG POUND GANGSTAZ(kurupt takes a subliminal shot at Bone thugs), RESPECT, NEW YORK NEW YORK, SMOOTH, CYCO-LIC-NO, RIDIN SLIPN AND SLIDIN, LETS PLAY HOUSE, I DONT LIKE TO DREAM ABOUT GETTIN PAID, DO WHAT I FEEL, A DOGGZ DAY AFTERNOON, REALITY, ONE BY ONE etc. Filler: If we f**. Bottom Line: Dogg Food is a classic from a duo that has not been the same ever since. Kurupt was a killer lyricist(rightfully called a west coast Rakim) and Daz production and mic skills were up to par. Nowadays they both suck elephant balls. Kurupt's flow has become commercial and secondhand and Daz's beats and rhymes are nothing to write home about. The only album that can come close to Dogg Food but not touch it is Dogg Pound's 2002. And for all you talking about they havent been hot since 92 need to shut the f*** up! This album came out in 94 and still tops the rubbish the comes out these days from the likes of Webstar, Fat Joe , Remy Fartin etc. Songs Like New York New york, Do What I Feel, Smooth, Respect etc make this album a classic worthy of being in your collection. |
