You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
« on: April 03, 2009, 12:13:05 AM »


I remember bumpin this back in '02 when it came out. I loved the single 'Keep It Gangsta', but to be quite honest I wasn't really feeling the rest of the album. I dug into my archives today and played it front to back. I must say I slept on this album. There are a couple shit tracks, and recycled verses, but all in all it is pretty dope. Definitely a different sound for Daz. The more I listen to this, the more I'm feelin it. Don't know why I didn't give it more of a chance originally.... Then again, I was only 16 back in 2002  ;D

"I Live Everyday Like I Could Die That Day" is a cool track...

Mike Dean & Daz made a good team...

one of the hidden tracks "Find a Moment" is the shit....

LMAO. I can't think of anything else than Carlton on the cover of this album, that prank pic is just too funny.
There is some good tracks, yes.

Yep, a pretty nice album.

This is one of those CDs that I'll probably never think 'Hey, I'd really like to hear that today,' but if I'm just flipping through the rack trying to find something for a sunny day, I could pull it out and let it play.

It's a decent album but it got some heat on it. Like you said, "Keep It Gangsta" is dope but the remix is even better ;D

The track with Too Short is also tight 8)

Whatever happened to the book and DVD that were supposed to come out after? I remember when this album came out, how much interest there actually was in DPG Recordz. There were lots of cool projects slated to drop but most never saw the light of day.
