Daz Dillinger breaks silence on So So Def, Snoop, DPGC Idols, and his future

[CaliKorleone]

This has to be bullshit.  It really just doesn't look real.  For instance, why would he say that he doesn't just wanna talk about pussy and getting high?  I'm sure he had a grip of input on "Cali Iz Active," and that is one of the most blatant pussy and weed extravaganza CDs I've ever heard, besides maybe a Too Short CD.  So that doesn't make sense.  It also just doesn't sound like some shit he would say, with all the definitions and all that.  Who I really feel sorry for is the pathetic douchebag who actually wrote all of that.  Why would you waste your time?

I think he was refering to his SoSoDef release. I haven't heard it yet, so I dunno how much of it is about pussy & weed

Yeah he probably refering to So So Gangsta.  Probably wanted to go in a different direction.  As for Cali Iz Active, You know Snoop had about 75% of the input on Cali Iz Active.  It sounded more like a Snoop record than a Dogg Pound (Daz & Kurupt) record.

Who knew Diggity-Daz was so deep? That dude works hard, he'll be back.

Yeah I know he was referring to So So Gangsta, but what I was saying was that I'm sure he had input in Cali Iz Active, and we all know the direction they went in on that one.  And the dillinger and Young Gotti albums are all about pussy and weed too, and Daz has 100% control over that shit.  So, why would he not want to go that same direction with So So Gangsta?  Also, if he didn't want the focus of the record to be violence, then why rap about violence at all on the record?  According to the interview, they picked all the most gangsta tracks.  If he didn't want those tracks, then why make them?  I mean, if this is Daz, then fine, but theres so many contradictions that it doesn't make any fuckin sense.

Daz has always been pretty deep when he is sober.. He created his name "DAZ" from Malcom X. And you can hear some of his deepness on The Chronic.. But somewhere down the line he changed.

It's nice to see him back.. Maybe his next album will be better.

[Darksider]

nice interview

[Mr. O]

I give credit to daz for being sober and mature. His younger days are over.

[d-nice]

It's on his website so my bad. Good Interview.

[smoke562]

i think hes humbled down alot coz of the sosogangsta album flopped. all that shit talkin, boasting about he gonna sell records, talkin about other artists doin bad numbers, and now its hit him back in the face.

A gangster is an outcast first and foremost, but he or she
is someone that takes control of a situation that is not or was not in
his for her favor. Black men and women in this generation and younger
are being gangsters every time they strategize and manuever a way
outside of this corrupt and criminal-criminal system. But there are
degrees of gangsters and those who have the less knowledge will do
things that make them a pawn on the chess board or even getting
checkmate at the highest level. Everybody else is studio.


real shit. i know i aint no fucking pawn

TLA: Daz, what happened with your last album So So Gangsta, it didn't
sell as well as it should've. Are you still with So So Def and
Jermaine Dupri bring us up to speed.

Dillinger: Bottom line, I don't think that particular business knew
how to market my product or my art. I had no say so whatsoever in the
artistic development of my project. And they were trying to market me
to a crowd that I am no longer appealing to. I've grown. I am a
gangster but not an irrational gangster. I am still a gangster but I
am not someone who takes lives at whim. There are degrees of being a
gangster, and the stick up kid that sold petty dope is no longer me.
My audience is sophisticated. If I am a gangbanger let it be for my
people, and let it be for recollection of diamonds, oil and etc. They
didn't even get my input. They didn't want my input. It is no longer
wise to kill one another, it never was. But when you talk about
making plans to empower or to globalize or to get money to rebuild
then not only are you a gangster you are marked, and no one wants to
market that in the industry today. Black people or Black artists are
so proud to get 100 shots or take shots or go to jail. They act like
its bragging rights, but the President is a full fledged gangster and
you don't see him in jail, nor do you see him getting shot. That's a
gangster one that is above the law so to speak. So in otherwords, I
was turning my gun in a different direction not on myself, not on my
people and they didn't want to hear that. I didn't click well with
them.

Is this Daz or M-1 off of Dead Prez?  When did Daz start becoming conscious?  Props to Daz, it sounds like he's really maturing, he's speakin the real!  Maybe he converted to Islam.

[C-BLUE]

obviously daz or most of the people in here have no idea what a gangster really is. i alwasy find it a little amsuing when a studio gangsta tries to define the word "gangster".

[Bojakabo]

bu..im dissapointed..i wanted to laugh

[WestCoasta]

what does this black shit have to do with whatever he's coming out with musically?

ya right like he's gonna stop sayin nigga, he's not sober in this interview he's on heroin
