i dont want to smash dreams....BUT...dogg pound dont have classics....everyone in here says dogg pound has only good albums, has classics and all, but you know, it is to be expected when on a westcoast forum. i like them too, and i would love to share your opinions, but i cant.dogg pound never have been a major force in hiphop. and no, dogg food wasnt a major force either. it was coming out at the controversial death row times, at the time it was the biggest label and anything would go at least gold. the sales of dogg food are not the (whole) cause of daz & kurupt. next to that album they dont have any high sellers (maybe you can count kuruption, streetz iz a mutha or revenge, retaliation and getback to the bestsellers in their catalogue)but the fact remains dogg pound never had a big influence on the game, and are considered washed up by many "outsiders". kurupt was a hard spittin' mc on the chronic and doggystyle but after that his lyrics quickly changed.nowadays you cant hear any dpg song without daz saying the word "nigga" 10 times in 2 minutes and kurupt saying "bitch suck my dick", "muthafucka" etc. half of their lyrics is cussing nowadays, and that is NOT what lyrics are about.i know you gonna say they make gangsta rap and the west always had cusswords (n.w.a. etc) but even ice cube didnt use kurupt's language in all his classics (neither did he on his newer albums, but that is not important). the reason they sell still is because they have a loyal fanbase all around the globe, and even though i bought dogg chit too, i have to say dogg pound never was a big time act...let the hate commence cause im going against the grain...
here is my rankings so ya know1 dogg food 11/102 dillinger n gotti 10/103 dillinger n gotti 2 9/104 dogg chit 9/105 cali iz active 7/10so my sayin CIA is weak is only compared to other dpg shit... ya know... compared to most other mufuckaz its dope... but as far as dpg shit is concerned it was not good enough
you gotta remember that sales don't make a good album, just because DPG haven't approached the 2 million sales of Dogg Food doesn't mean they haven't dropped classics, D&YG sold maybe 200k but is considered a classic by many west coast heads, I'm from NY and I consider it classic, I agree that they are no longer mainstream anymore and not capable of selling to the mass public but they can still drop dope albums
I don't even count 2002. They had a handful of unreleased tracks but other than that you had songs from D&YG, Dat Whoopty Woop and RAW on that album. Death Row put it out to fuck up D&YG sales at the time. Although it does have Every Single Day, one of the greatest DPG songs of all time.
