The album debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to reach twice platinum status. In 1995, they released their debut album Dogg Food under Death Row Records. īetween 19, the group assisted Hammer on his The Funky Headhunter album (such as the song "Sleepin' on a Master Plan" and others), along with Suge Knight and the Whole 9. The two went on to feature on Doggystyle and various features and soundtracks as Tha Dogg Pound. History Death Row years (1992–1998) īefore The Chronic album came out, Kurupt and Daz were solo artists, however having heard the chemistry they had whilst recording the album, Dr. 1.5 New releases and future projects (2007–present).1.2 Kurupt and Daz leave Death Row (1999–2001).In 2006, Snoop Dogg executive produced released their official reunion album Cali Iz Active. Tha Dogg Pound then got back together as a group and released Dillinger & Young Gotti II in November 2005. In January 2005, Daz made another solo album release titled Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP.
His awaited Death Row release Against Tha Grain had been postponed several times while Kurupt was on the label, later being released in August 2005, after he was off. In 2002 a feud arose between the two when Kurupt decided to sign back with Death Row Records, upsetting everyone involved with the group. Kurupt started Antra Records, while Daz and Soopafly started D.P.G.
Daz left due to long-lasting internal struggles on the label after friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur's murder in 1996. They eventually left the crumbling Death Row Records in 1999. Kurupt and Daz went on to release solo albums starting in 1998. They were signed to Death Row Records in their early careers and were key to the label's success. The way he spits on “How You Livin'” you get the feeling he’s back in it for the long haul, and whatever you say of his crew Tha Eastsidaz, it comes across more as a triumph for his fledgling Dogghouse Records.Tha Dogg Pound is an American hip hop duo made up of rappers Kurupt and Daz Dillinger. Being he’s on rather shaky ground (a mediocre album before and after leaving Death Row) he needs more solid releases to keep his fan base from disintegrating. Really, more than anything, this reviewer would like to “Be Thankful” that Snoop didn’t put his name on a wack project. This is not to down the rest of the album though – whatever you can say about it, it’s not the kind of wack rhyming and flow one would expect from Silkk the Shocker. For those who are minors and have watching parents, it would be wise to switch to track 15 when they walk in the room (unless you’re rocking the headphones). The only break in this topic matter throughout is “Be Thankful” which is a rather suprising ode to the blessings in life set off nicely with an opening verse by Snoop. Topically it’s pretty typically slang and bang, and would definitely merit a 5 mic rating in Murder Dog Magazine.
In fact, this album should really be enjoyed on the cruise level. I really can’t say anything distinctive about the rhymers but the beats on tracks like “Tha Eastidaz”, “Got Beef”, “G’d Up”, “Ghetto”, and “Big Bang Theory” are designed to give your car more bounce than sixteen switches. One is lead to believe from the liner notes that they are Snoop (as the “presenter”), Tray Deee (who has mobbed with Snoop’s Dogg Pound for a while now), Goldie Loc, and Butch Cassidy?Ĭonfusion about their articles of incorporation aside, this is a mostly quality release from this newly organized family – at least on a musical basis. he shows up with Tha Eastsidaz? It’s a bit hard to identify who in fact Tha Eastsidaz are, since this album features a revolving cast of guests such as Rappin’ 4-Tay, Xzibit, Kurupt, et cetera on every track. After riding out with his best album since moving to N’Awleans with “No Limit Top Dogg” and blessing the superbly produced “Chronic 2001” with several guest appearances. This newest venture from Snoop Dogg was a bit unexpected.
