Top 10 Worst Dogg Pound Songs
« on: February 22, 2015, 08:35:31 AM »
Yo, one of the most legendary west coast groups of all time, lots of classic songs, and still in the game after decades. I'm a big fan myself, and clearly NOT a hater, but as you know every great artist or group also made their fair share of bad songs & projects, so lets discuss some of their "Not that great work"  ;D

I'll probably catch some hell for this, but I never cared much for If We all Fucc and Some Bomb Azz. To me, they slow the album to a halt, an album that was basically some hard West Coast beats with Kurupt in his prime spitting, and Daz doing pretty well himself. They're not really bad songs I suppose (although you could certainly drop the part with Snoop busting a nut), but don't fit the album.

yeah this happened on Dillinger & Young Gotti as well, I think they had about 3 or 4 songs in a row like that...

That kind of comes from the NWA/Dr. Dre school of album making, and who can argue with it considering all the classics?

Basically, the theory goes like this. An album should be something you can listen to the whole way through, sequenced beginning to end, even something you can play at a party.  In a party atmosphere and party vibe you can't just hit them off with hardcore shit like "Dogg Pound Gangstaz", "Cyco-lic-no" or "Doggz Day Afternoon".

In the Dre school of album making, an album has to play out more like a movie.  You have to have your action scenes balanced  out with some sex scenes ("If We All/Bomb Ass") and some personal realization ("I Don't Like To Dream About Getting Paid", "Reality"), and some party jams ("Let's Play House"), maybe some comic relief...  That makes for a great movie, a great party, and a great album.

...so it's not simply about putting your best songs onto an album and just going straight for the throat and jugular vein.  The album has to be sequenced and balanced for overall effect.  Nobody can say shit about Dogg Food because it is a classic.

Fair enough but I actually like stuff like Automobile and whatnot--not so much the Dogg Food stuff. And I'm not so sure that is Dre's philosophy--other than the second NWA album and 2001, where does he come through with hardcore sex songs like that? Doggystyle doesn't have any. The Chronic doesn't other than the Doctor's Office skit (which was done more for comedy value). Straight Outta Compton doesn't. 50 Cent albums he produced have girl jams on them but not really stuff in this vein. Eminem, no. Xzibit, no. D.O.C., no. (Bridgette was cut for being too explicit on that one, to be fair, but it's still played more for laughs than sex as I recall.)

"Bomb Azz Pussy" was classic, "If We All Fuc" was filler and should have been scrapped from the album but I wouldn't put that with their worst songs

I'll have to skim their albums later and come back to this thread

I have always felt that if those two songs would have been left off the album Dogg Food would have flowed better. Or what if instead of those two tracks back to back they would have included "what would you do" instead? I know "what would you do" wasn't meant for the album but I always think that Dogg Food would have been better without those two or with a real classic instead. And it's not that the songs talk about fuckin that makes me not like them, I just feel that they were executed poorly. Take Quik's Safe + Sound album for example, it has "can I eat it?", "It's your fantasy" and "tha ho in you", all in a row; but I think they flow with the album better and are overall better songs and they're all about fuckin. This is something that has always bugged me about Dogg Food.

You say that yet Dr.Dre - 2001 was sequenced pretty badly. It looses its flow multiple times throughout the album

But the again i think the 2001 album would have been much better if around 6 of the tracks on there were removed from it.
I will say the same about Dogg Food...classic album but could have done with a lot of the second half shaving off it, i think "Reality" is the only one i really like in the second half

Absoutely agree! And to think, those 2 songs made it over "Can't C Me"  - wtf!

That's one of the dumbest things I ever heard. You're basically saying that a wack song should make it over a dope song because it creates balance? Then fuck balance, put out all the best material, my jugular vein can handle it. *pause

I caught flack for saying that once but I completely agree. 2001 was front loaded as fuck, the second half of that album was decent at best. Fuck ALL the skits (Bar skit, homosexual Porno skit, Eddie Griffin skit, and car bomb), fuck that random "Murder Ink" song, fuck that dry ass "Some LA Niggas" song - he should've replaced that with "Hello" or "Chin Check" (or possibly an unreleased track from those NWA reunion sessions)
