Yo been listening to this album a lot lately so I just thought I'd make a new thread about it to talk a bit about this classic death row/westcoast/gfunk album by daz in his prime (death row) days  8)
What y'all think of the album after the many years its out now ? Is it a classic to y'all ? Any especially underrated tracks on there ? Maybe also some overrated/bad/filler songs for y'all ? What you think of the production on there ? The features ? Daz performance ?
Just discuss it here  8)

Definitely the best of Daz Dilly's catalog and one of my favorite of all DPGC albums. After RRAGB there weren't too much of that classic g-funk production in daz's music. No fillers but maybe too much features, though the best track hands down is gang bangin ass criminal and O.G. Tray Deee's verse.

That Gang Bangin Ass Criminal track is the shit, still it wouldve been cool if snoop had a verse on it, since they had soopa, kurupt, bad azz, tray dee & techniec on it snoop wouldve been perfectly placed among the other dpgcs here.
O.G. is also dope as hell, Snoop comes smooth as fuck on it and that beat is g funk at its finest. Not to forget nate  8)
Another hit is It might sound crazy with Short Dawg, that track still funky & smooth as fuck, ideal summertime anthem  8)
And In California still smashes  8)

When this album first came out, I just wasnt really feeling it. Then I put it in one day in that summer, and I didnt stayed in heavy rotation. I bumped it over and over again. For sure Daz best album. I think my favorite track is OH NOOOOOOOOO

"Gang Bangin Ass Criminal" was a great posse cut and a certified banger to open the album with.  They made a mistake by letting the intro run so long and not moving the song to track 2 on the album.  But that was cool in those days, I think Biggie had "Kick In The Door" come in after a long skit on Life After Death, so a lot of rappers were doing that in that era.

...I've been giving props to this album for a long time at the forum.  While most rap fans were following No Limit, Bad Boy, Ruff Ryders, Roccafella and trash like that... I was still riding for Death Row.  By that time, Snoop, Nate, Kurupt, had all fled the label, Suge was of course in prison—and Daz was making a triumphant last stand for Death Row.  They even gave him some Vice President title at the time (although that didn't end up amounting to much).

This would be the last great Death Row album, and it was up to the standard that was expected from the label throughout the mid-90's.  

I thought "In California" was a perfect lead single.  A great song that was hard but still had pop appeal.  It's bullshit that the song was not topping the charts.  I guess Daz lacked some sort of pop appeal to sell the song.  Without Snoop and Dre around to make little cameo's in the video and single I guess MTV wasn't gonna show it no love.

The album is one of the hardest, gangsta rap albums ever made.  Tracks like the title track, "Oh No", "Our Daily Bread", "O.G." are all bangers.  And "Initiated" is the one track I still hear being bumped to this day in 2015.  I think it's an album you can listen to from beginning to end, with no filler.  I even like the tracks like "Only For You" and "Baby Mama Drama" or "Thank God For My Life" because I think they provide some balance and sentimentality to an otherwise hardcore gangsta rap album.

as far as underrated tracks on the album I always felt Playa Partna was one of the most slept on song on the album, the groove on that song is crazy and Bila & Daz complement each other well

This is a spring album to me, when it turns to spring I always want to play this, so now's the time. For some reason Dogg Food is a winter album to me, I guess because of their respective release dates, plus you got the epic line "in the dead of winter I spit my coldest phrases."

Yep.. this album is a spring album for me, in the way that Warren G's G Funk Era album is a summer album.  RRGB came out in march of 98'.  Every March I dust off this album.  This year will be the exception because I have been living abroad in SouthEast Asia where they only have two seasons, rainy and dry, and it is always hot.  So this will be the first year since 98' I won't bump daz in the spring
