What's the best song Snoop ever did on a No Limit album before Top Dogg?

[HighEyeCue]

Don't remember any music video shown.  Notice they play respect in the background and Kurupt plays it in the car.

I found the segement on youtube.  This is pretty much it, unless there's some part that was cut out, or something added.  We woke up in the morning to this my homiez and I were 13 years old after my first time ever going down on a girl and all that.. it was definitely the dopest night of my entire life up to that point.  We'd been bumping Masta Ace "INC Ride" on the way to the football game and East 99 Eternal whole album full way through playing basketball in the front yard late at night.  I still remember the song playin on YoMTVRaps as we were breaking out the basement gutter window it was "For Real" AZ

I didn't even know there was going to be a DPG album (remember Murder Was the Case advertised like Helter Skelter or Lady of Rage or some shit) coming out till they played this segment.  I think Death Row had not put anything out since Murder Was The Case and appearances on soundtracks had kept them fresh like "Heads Ringin" and "Beware of My Crew" but like I said this moment put Death Row right back front and center after Bone had sort of taken over in the Fall season



and by the way that album advertisement Sccit posted from 95 for the Dogg Food album is dope as hell and I don't think I ever saw it, has Dre narrating!!  Showing Dre was still fully down in those dayz!! Ahh the good ol dayz!!

yeah I do remember them playing Respect in the car

I could have sworn I read somewhere online though that they did film a video for it but cant remember what site it was on

 

yeah this is new to me as well

thanks for posting

You can tell that's like peak Kurupt right there.  Like that's the one time he finally got his moment.  That was like his sort of 15 minutes of fame.  Cause "New York, New York" was on the album and it was before Pac came and took the spotlight at Death Row. 

...Kurupt is totally himself and in his element.  And not only that everything was firing on all cylinders then to support him.  Suge had his back, Dre had his back, of course Daz was totally in sync with him, and Snoop's being on the album was like guaranteed success at that time.  Sure, he had success before and after but that was the pinnacle.

I had to go back and listen to "New York, New York" and I swear its revisionist history when Kurupt does interviews and shit saying that track was a tribute to "New York".  I mean sure, you can kind of spin it like that, because art is art, and art can have many different interpretations.  But Kurupt literally says on the track, "Fucc up your whole jurisdiction!"  What jurisdiction do you think he is fucking talking about??

And Snoop is literally mocking them in the intro to the track, "YO God, Yo I got maad skillz, money".  And then the most obvious of all kicking down buildings in the video.

yeah no doubt it was a diss lol

and Infinite that was indeed Prime Kurupt

you look at that whole track and video and you cant help but wonder that he should have been a bigger star

you probably heard the OG version before the last verse cuts off but here it is for those who havent

[Gyruss]

first time hearing this, should have put this on the album.

Same goes for the Let's play house version with Warren G and Big Pimpin' Delemond, just listened to it again this morning and it's so much better.

Are there more different versions of Dogg Food songs that you guys know of

Yeah props to sccit and higheyecue for not falling for revisionist history... "let's all be friends" bullshit they are on now, sure that's great now they are too old for this stuff and some of them have grandkids but you ain't gotta lie about the past like it didn't happen, especially when it was your prime and your greatest moments why not stay true to that atleast?  I mean you ain't gotta take it as far as myself and Suge and stay so true to it that you never wanna grow out of it and be like its spring 96' forever, but you also ain't gotta deny what really happened back then, just say like, "Yeah we was dissing New York cause that's how we felt then, but it's not how we feel now"

Thanks for postin that little outro for the o.g "New York New York" I never realized that existed.  I always did kind of wonder about that track cutting out at the end.  But bottom line you can't argue with flawlessness and perfection.  I feel like albums Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food, AEOM, and 7 Day Theory were completely flawless 5 Mic.  And I really can't say I prefer this outro to the one that made Dogg Food (or the Warren G version of "Let's Play House") especially when you consider it was Dre's touches and sequencing on the final mixdown of Dogg Food, thank god Dre stayed around at Death Row long enough to do it.  Cause Kurupt and Daz don't have the focus to see it all the way through.

Respect

Respect

sick... Still love the official one most though.

Seems there was a plan to have "Reality" be a first single as well.  I think it was their BET interview Rap City for Dogg Food in which they thought "Reality" would be the first single.  "Reality" is dope but never sounded like a single to me.  It seems like last minute "Let's Play House" and "New York New York" fell out of the sky as things seemed to come at the right rhyme (time) in those days.  DJ Pooh hooked them up

"Respect" might be my favorite Dogg Pound song

yeah the album was basically done and was supposed to drop in August when Pooh hooked them up with a couple of beats so they went back and recorded "NY, NY" and "Smooth"

Kurupt murdered both tracks which showed how much in a zone he was back in 1995

but the interesting thing is the timeline coincides with The Source Awards that year when Death Row got booed so I think that led to the diss track due to the NY crowds lack of respect towards them

Yeah man everything just seemed to fall in to place in those days. 

Also I just stumbled upon the MTV Music Awards from 1995 and Dr. Dre accepts an award from freaking Madonna—I mean how big is that—and he don’t even say shit to Madonna doesn’t hug her or nothing—won award for rap video of the year.  And guess what Dre does… and this is for you Sccit … he thanks God because he wasn’t a devil worshipper throwing up devil horns back then… then after God he thanks Suge! 

And then guess what he does after giving thanks  —- he plugs the Dogg Pound album.  Says some cool as shit like “I know pretty soon y’all gonna be bobbing your head behind closed doors to that shit and I can see ya!”  I’ll try to upload the clip on YouTube so Sccit can see the difference of when Dre worshipped God and not the Devil (post 2020)

But aside from the Devil/God stuff this was around Sept. 1995 so I feel like it’s not like Dre just came in last minute and mixed it I feel like he was down all along.  Not sure exactly like if he was just in the room but I expect he had a bigger role than just a final mixdown and a couple voice intros

Yeah man that’s the Death Row era Dre—still giving thanks to God—still staying down wit Suge and the hood—not givin a fucc about a bitch—you see the way he played Madonna—like who doesn’t give a hug and smile at Madonna—he ain’t give a fucc he was more focused on plugging the Dogg Food album than anything else, and the bobbing your head bit was a nod to not only heads wringin but the “Respect” track—so just dope all around. 

Then next up… a just out of prison Mike Tyson takes the stage.  I mean could life get any better?!?   It’s still 95-96 for me I was bumpin Doggystyle, Lost Boyz, Dogg Food all that shit this week
