Dogg Food

Did Dr.Dre ghost produce the album?
I've heard this rumour, before.
Does anyone, have any info on this?
Thanks

I don't know for sure but I believe he did

the production is too good for him not to have been

Which beats on the album sound like Dr. Dre produced them and not Daz and Soopafly?

I would say maybe 'Let's Play House' and 'Respect', they have a Dre feel to them and you could compare them to the sound Dre was working with at the time on Doggystyle and Murder Was The Case.  But the rest? I would say they sound like Daz productions to me.

I know there is that freestyle with Daz, Lil Malik, Nate Dogg etc that uses the beat to 'Bomb Ass Pussy' which I think was from the Doggystyle studio sessions, so we can maybe assume that this is a Dre production.  But didn't Dre have to do jail time around 94-95 which may take him out of the equation a bit when it comes to Dogg Food?

I had always heard Dre helped mix it and put his finishing touches on it.  But i do think Daz produced a lot of it.  Respect sure sounds like Dre, and maybe a few others.  I think they both worked together on a lot of it.  But Dre went ahead and let Daz have the credit because Death Row needed another good in house producer that other artists could use and was trying to make Daz a big name.

That's what I thought, because even though, I like Daz as a producer, he never really reached those heights again.

I think if Daz had a bigger budget to work with for his projects and he had engineers and session musicians available similar to what he had during the Dogg Food recordings he could do it again.

Nice Thread.

It's a great question to ask.  Like others said above, "Respect" seems like a Dre joint, Dre even does the intro and those keys and the spacing of it really sound like Dre.  Also, "Let's Play House" has that Dre intro and really sounds like a Dre beat. 

Someone mentioned how "Bomb Ass Pussy" might have been in the stash for a while and could be from Dre's Doggystyle sessions.  Interestingly enough it's been said in an interview that it was "Bomb Ass Pussy" that got Suge to greenlight the album.  Because remember they didn't really advertise the Dogg Pound in the liner notes of Murder Was the Case, it seemed like even Rage was ahead of Dogg Pound in the schedule or Dogg Pound didn't even have a schedule for a release until Suge heard "Bomb Ass Pussy".

Also Kurupt's performance lyrically.  It's kind of hard to believe that Daz was able to get all of that out of Kurupt.  Because we know how Kurupt can get lazy with his rhymes and just put any bullshit "Tyrannosaurus, Dracula, spatula" type of shit on a record and start to get carried away without Dre or Suge to put a foot up his ass.

My theory is that Dre was in the building.  Like Dre was hanging around, in the studio as the album was being recorded.  That some of the beats him and Daz had both worked on, but Daz was getting to use under Daz name.  Maybe that type of shit.  Sort of like the way that Mel Man had joints like "Year 2000" for Xzibit or "Hennesey and Buddah" for Snoop or "Welcome to LA" for Xzibit... all sound like Dre joints where maybe Dre was around and in the building.

Most likely scenario just based off the interviews and what's been confirmed--is that Daz produced the entire album but just Dre fixed a lot of shit in the final mix and sequencing.

That's what I'm thinking as well. People in this forum really try their best to discredit Daz. He's done some great production after Dogg Food. It seems like he has good ideas, but needs a co-producer to help him with the technical aspects of making those ideas happen.

like you said his best work is when he has a coproducer whether it be Dre, Soopafly, Mike Dean or Ivan Johnson

one question I always had is that Kurupt is credited as producer on "So Much Style" the last track of the album on my CD which is the US version

on discogs the European version has Kurupt listed but Daz on the US version

If I remember correctly, Kurupt even talks about producing one track on the album "So Much Style" in their BET Rap City Dogg Food episode.  It might be the part where big Lez asks how they are different, and Kurupt says how Daz is a perfectionist and just wants to keep doin shit over and how Kurupt is like "nah it's dope".

I believe this, but anything in particular you could say?
Would love, if you could expand on this.
Thanks
