Post is 100% assumption and 100% fiction. The song was recorded by Daz around 2006-2007 and has nothing to do with the Doobie one (other than using the same sample) despite you trying to connect the dots.
This shit is gettin' ridiculous.
you connecting the dot is the definition of an assumption, you look at two separate things and just because they fit your imagination and somehow the situation, you ASSUME that it happened like that, when in fact there's no evidence. It's kinda sad that a grown man cannot grasp the concept of "assuming". I mean your theory, because that's what it is, is nice and all, but at this point it's nothing but pure speculation. there is no element, other than the fact that they both used the same sample and gave the song the same name, and were on the same label at the same time, which is nothing sensational as it happened before with other artists (see my posts before), especially considering the fact that they changed one word out of the chorus line.Daz wasn't in charge of other artists than his camp when he was presumably "running" Death Row. He just produced here and there for Chronic 2000, he didn't oversee anything. He just produced his own albums, launched his sub label Dogg Pound Records on which Crooked I was signed for a short time before making the decision to stay at Death Row when Daz & C-Style told him they were going to part ways with The Row. It's not like Daz was sitting on the whole's label catalogue and having the final say on what was going to be released or not. There's a chance that Daz drew inspiration from it, but in no case it's a fact, just a theory, and in no case it's stealing either. Daz stole 2pac reels and reels of his own material (which would later be released, remix or not, with R.A.W. & Dillinger & Young Gotti). But there's no evidence that he stole Doobie's track or concept. Once again, you're just assuming it happened. but I'll let you live in your own fantasy world where Top Dogg was a top prospect and Change The Game Remix was a smash hit, and So So Gangsta almost went gold with On Some Real Shit being a smash hit too must suck to be stuck on such a shitty musical period 17 years later and be somehow proud that Death Row, Tha Realest and Top Dogg were on top of the industry back then.
Then what was "Lead Producer" at Death Row Records if he wasn't working on Death Row Records?
This is true, which is why Dre was RAN OFF the label -- Pac said that he wasn't doing anything -- he was sitting at home while all the work was being done in the studio, and he was nowhere to be found! Checkout the KMEL interview Pac did where he explains this in detail.
Fact: Daz was the LEAD PRODUCER on Death Row Records when Doobie recorded "Caught Up In The Game" -- "Other than [stealing the same concept] despite [me] connecting the dots"
Nah, you aren't accepting reality that Daz was entrusted with the head production role at Death Row Records -- he was meeting with Suge weekly in jail giving him updates on the music and artists
"When Dre left Death Row in ’95, it was Daz that Suge entrusted with directing the new sound of the label as ably as possible" -- Source: https://thehundreds.com/blog/behind-the-groove-the-3-producers-who-honed-the-death-row-sound/
Everyone knows Dr. Dre was the head producer, then Daz was promoted internally by Suge to head producer -- then when Daz was kicked off, Above The Law's Big Hutch aka Cold187um became the lead producer -- Everything goes through the lead producer, and they are expected to develop the artists, sounds, and review all tracks
Dre was working from his home studio
(Daz) being in charge of “Chronic 2000” seems unlikely as well. I find it questionable that he was a big force behind the development of Top Dogg or Tha Realest as an artist or in dissing Snoop. The only album that came out in this time that feels like he was the driving force behind is his own solo album.
On the MTV Documentary, which this is the most accurate one, they talk about how Dre was scared and was maturing, and some of the artists like Outlawz and Nate Dogg said he didnt want to be a part of the gang banging going on and they had young artists and beatdowns and it just wasn't the environment Dre wanted to work in anymore.
Daz was allover "All Eyez On Me"
Daz & Tha Realest were recording together quite a bit, even two hand selected tracks were put on Chronic 2K of them and Daz was on Realest's solo album, so we know they were in the studio together quite a bit while Daz was the seasoned vet at the label 98-2000.
