Kurupt (you guessed it) lyrically tears this track to shreds with one of his greatest performances. Sad that this, indirectly, contributed to the deaths of both 2Pac and Biggie, because this is a great song. Death Row responded by having Snoop, Daz, Kurupt and Lady of Rage kick down New York buildings in the music video. He voiced his frustrations on the radio, which led to the video set getting shot up. was upset that Kurupt, Daz and Snoop were shooting a music video for the song in New York for some reason. This DJ Pooh-produced song, a Kurupt solo track with Snoop on the hook, unintentionally contributed to the famous East Coast-West Coast feud in hip-hop. This beat screams G-funk! Respect is pretty good, although it runs for far too long. Dre introduces this song as Kurupt and Daz show up and show out over another great beat from Daz. One of my favorite things about this project is the seamless flow from track to track it’s like one big movie. This will be a common trend with every project it appears on. Snoop Dogg makes a brief cameo, and we get the return of the 187.4 FM W Balls skit from Doggystyle, albeit not as funny. Daz turns in a good verse too, making for an impressive beginning to their debut album. Over a banging instrumental provided by Daz, Kurupt quickly shows his lyrical prowess once again by ripping the fuck out of the mic. The sample of The Shamilar (“like we always do about this time”), previously used on both The Chronic and Doggystyle, appears here again.ĭogg Pound Gangstaz is a PERFECT way to kick off this project. It’s short and sweet, wastes no time setting up for the first actual song. There’s nothing to say about this intro, really. Dogg Food is often overlooked by hip hop fans, which is a shame, because this is a good album. Dre, the two formed the duo Tha Dogg Pound, and would record together for Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle in 1993, as well as the Above the Rim and Murder Was the Case soundtracks in 1994. When the two signed to Death Row and began working together during the making of The Chronic, they became close. Dre’s The Chronic, Dogg Pound members Daz Dillinger and Kurupt were solo artists Kurupt was a rapper initially from Philadelphia, while Daz (who is also Snoop Dogg’s cousin) was a producer from Long Beach.
Dogg Food was the debut album by Tha Dogg Pound, released on October 31st, 1995.
