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.
(...) Nobody can say shit about Dogg Food because it is a classic.

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"). 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.

You say that yet Dr.Dre - 2001 was sequenced pretty badly. It looses its flow multiple times throughout the albumBut 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
Speaking of making it over cant c me, which songs besides that one & every single day were planned for df ?
