I call them one of the best duo's in rap history. The way they flow off of one another is uncanny and like no other. They have released 4 albums that were at least solid.Daz has made his mark on the game as a producer and rapper, even though he is a bit of an underdog.As for Kurupt, he is my favorite Westcoast rapper of all time, even still with the drop off in lyrics. Once Kurupt went to DR again, his lyrics fell off mostly due to lack of inspiration. I can't imagine Death Row as having a postitive vibe. I still think his voice and flow is among the best, and he improved his lyrics very much on Dogg Chit. Most of his verses still have no struture to them, but he's still spitting.The most frustrating thing about tha Dogg Pound is that they split up at a time where DPG as a unit was the strongest it had ever been. While it's all well and good that they are back toegther making good music, they wasted 4 years on this beef, when both artist were probably in there prime.I'll still probably always check for pretty much any further Dogg Pound projects, Daz or Kurupt solos alike.

I think he wrote less than 10 songs on SIAM, and from there less and less. I think we could count on 4-5 discs ABSOLUTE tops every song Kurupt actually wrote his verses too. i think the VAAAAST majority of Kurupt's work is freestyled, not based on quality but based on the way the verses come out. they often have a 'searching for words' feel to them. sidenote, Jay Z is known for doing this and they are both Saggitarius.furthermore, Kurupt is my favorite rapper period and it pisses me off that he doesn't write more.what pisses me off about the beef is that right before the beef daz and snoop were not working together and as soon as Kurupt left snoop and daz started to work together again. they all 3 needed to be doing shit always and to think otherwise is ridiculous.-T-T
these days the problem with the pound is KuruptDaz is still dope plus he can make good beats still, I like majority of the production Dogg ChitKurupt is just awful though and ruins the whole album, he only rhymed all his bars on like 1-2 and he talks a surprising amount of nonsense Daz talks about the same shit but at least he has a mic presence and flow
Not a diss Tanj, but I don't think I would really be feeling that G-Funk sound right now. Maybe something more like Dillenger & Young Gotti, but G-Funk to me has passed. I still bump the old shit, just not intersted in new G-Funk.
since they got back together the only track I can remember where Kurupt sounded real good was "Keep It Gangsta" off Cali Iz Active
