Sam Sneed productions

[heisenberg]

On my 1st press of Dogg Food on the back cover it stands "EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: SUGE KNIGHT AND DR.DRE".

yeah but we talk about production in the music process.

Long story longer, Sneed produced Keep Their Heads Ringing, Natural Born Killaz and U Better Recognize as well as having his hands all over the stuff from the Exclusive Unreleased album that leaked of early Aftermath.

What's that? What exclusive unreleased album from early Aftermath?

snoop said dre helped with production on dogg food but he is not credited for. who knows

Well Dre is credited in the official liner notes with mixing every song.  He probably mixed and sequenced the entire album (except I think Dre's homie Pooh did everything for "New York, New York").

Maybe Dre could've even taken the production credits (except New York New York) on Dogg Food as well but it wasn't good marketing to have Dre put any more shade over Daz instead boosted Dogg Pound's cred and image and it was their platform and their moment to showcase themselves to the world so it was important for Daz to get those props as producer of the album.

So Dre gave the Shine on that One but yet Daz still crying about Dre stealing Credit?

Wasn't it a period when Dre was getting ready to leave DR? Maybe that's the reason he didn't get too much credits on Dogg Food?

Sam Sneed did "I Smell Pussy" of G-Unit

a favor to daz for not being credited on doggystyle

a way to help build the dogg pound brand

Dre was actually interviewed at the Murder Was the Case video shoot and they asked him what albums were in the works and he said Round 2 basically of Snoop and Dre.  So a follow up to the Chronic or Snoop's follow up to Doggystyle.

This has been mentioned in many articles and interviews that Daz just kept kind of plugging away, plugging and then it came as a slight surprise to Dre and Suge when they saw what Daz had in the chamber for a Dogg Food album.  I mean Dre was still down with Death Row and in the building in those days so he was around for the foundations of Dogg Food before it was even called Dogg Food; like when it was just them fuccing around and trying to make dope shit in the studio not yet even under an official title or project yet...

Then it started to build to the point where Dogg Pound had enough there that Suge went ahead and greenlighted the project and he believed in Daz and Kurupt.. and Dre went in and put his midas touch on it and mixed and sequenced and they had full backing from the label and it went on to become another great, classic successful Death Row project.

...but long story short, getting back to the album credits situation Dre was more flexing his muscles on Chronic and Doggystyle and it wasn't really a big deal for him to spotlight Daz in the credits.  It wasn't even until after the Murder Was the Case project that they really started realizing Daz and Kurupt had enough there to really get their full props and attention and the rest is history

Yeah, a lot of the beats on "Dogg Food" were old from the sessions that Dr. Dre was producing.

Yeah, a lot of the beats on "Dogg Food" were old from the sessions that Dr. Dre was producing.

Right.. I see the Dogg Food album as three phases...

1.  Like leftover tracks, ideas, and sessions from the Chronic-Doggystyle-Murder Was the Case period when Dre was really heavy in the building and laying the foundation for the signature Death Row sound....

2.  Middle period was like Daz really taking the sounds and styles that were around at Death Row and plugging away and just building and building and him and Kurupt compiling a lot of dopeness, they said on BET RapCity that they actually recorded like a 100 tracks to choose from for Dogg Food

3.  Then final period it got greenlighted by Suge and Dre came in to put the Midas Touch and mix and they also took some of whatever Nate or Rage or Tray Dee, even Snoop were doing and added and mixed in those tracks to the album as well, like stuff they were doing at the label that was dope but not necassarily designated for a specific album got worked over for the Dogg Food album, they probably brought in DJ Pooh at that point as well and he added his gem and they all came together to put the finishing touches and make it a complete project
