DAZ DILLINGER - THA ADVENTURES OF DILLY THA DOGG (Official Discussion)

[Jay_J]

Daz still has some very good beats, but it's mixed in with a lot of generic low quality ones. He needs some decent equipment/software/samples etc, because even his good beats sound flat as hell.
I'm not even comparing it to Dogg Food, but just listen to Dillinger & Young Gotti, the engineering and mixing, type of samples/instruments etc, the quality is so much better.
Daz's beat quality are now the westcoast equivalent of the No Limit beats back in the late 90's.
It's quality over quantity using basic music software. It's amateurish.

Of course Dillinger & Young Gotti is great, because its co produced and mixed by the great Mike Dean.

Of course Dillinger & Young Gotti is great, because its co produced and mixed by the great Mike Dean. not because of daz.

daz is still able to make good beats, he knows the formula, he is one of those top architects, but he needs dr. dre, mike dean or soopafly to serve something good production wise.

Based off Torpor & Hibernation Shivers I'd say it would be good for him to go that direction. He's just pumping out the same sound for years now.

Everyone has their own opinion on what they like. If we wanna break down the different factors, we can do that but it's not as simple as expressing your opinion, and then insulting that opinion because you're too ignorant to make any valid points.

So....I like all 3 albums...I think I like Daz's the best based on what I like to listen to...

Missionary - say what you want, but sonically/production wise, it's a Dre project so it will be hard to beat in that sense. It's incredible as far as sound quality goes. Lyrically and flow wise, I think Snoop sounds dope as hell. So to be real, it's an incredible piece of art....I like it....BUT I still prefer to listen to what Dre has done in the past...Sue me. Missionary is legit, but not my preference....THANK YOU is my fav song on the album by a mile.

Ice Cube is my favourite rapper of all time. Period. To me (again this is an OPINION), he can't make a bad album or song. BUT there are definitely albums/songs that are better than others. There are some skips for sure, but lots of fun tracks. Flow/rhyme scheme wise...overall it's not his best effort BUT I'll take any Cube album, any time. Furthermore, he still gave us a couple tracks that had the vibe I'm looking for. I got that vibe from Daz's album the most...therefore...the one I like the best.

I am an experienced producer, rapper, writer, performer. I'm capable of judging a project based off any of those areas...

You don't have to agree with an opinion but that's what it is. My opinion on Kendrick, especially his latest album....IT'S FUCKING AWFUL and he is extremely overrated. Many agree with me, many don't. Neither one is wrong.



overall quality:
Missionary
Man Down
Dilly

As a fan:
Dilly
Man Down
Missionary

Of course Dillinger & Young Gotti is great, because its co produced and mixed by the great Mike Dean.

Sadly, so much of this has to do with budgets. Give anything to Dre or producers like Mike Dean and they will make it bigger and better...But if you don't care about charting or selling records, or you're independent....you may not want to spend on those things. Daz has always said that. Cube has always said he prefers not to sample when possible for cost reasons as well....So Tha Dogg Pound sounds their best with Dre/Dean/Wreck/Cat overseeing their stuff...but not what they wanna spend on.....Cube sounds best on grimy sampled records...not what he wants to spend time or money on.

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

Pretty telling how Daz makes an album in a week and Missionary takes 3+ years to make with 50+ people  involved and many people are saying Daz’s album is better.

That's only because Daz is our style. I love this album, but it's very niche taste. I live in New Jersey and my coworkers and friends who have listened Missionary out of curiosity, I wouldn't even bother to recommend that they listen to Daz's album because I know he doesn't translate over here. They would rip it to shreds if they listened to Daz's album. And, truthfully, many of them don't even know who Daz is. I'd have to tell them that it's that guest artist from The Chronic and they would vaguely be like, "Oh, yeah."

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

without having to decipher a bunch of hidden messages and codes

This is what a Kendrick album is like to me. It's an exhausting experience. Can he just rap normally without all the constant theatrics that everybody else seems to love?

And his beats.....zzzzzzzzzz

[So Much Style]

Mike Dean, one of the greatest mixers and mastering geniuses of all time happened to work with Daz on Dillinger and Young Gotti....that is why..

Daz Dillinger - The Adventures of Dilly Tha Dogg



The Adventures of Dilly Tha Dogg is pure West Coast energy, driven by Daz Dillinger’s sharp ear for beats and laid-back yet commanding presence on the mic. Across 12 tracks, Daz balances nostalgic G-funk grooves with subtle modern touches, crafting a sound that’s grounded but never stale. Tracks like “How 2 Become Number 1” and “Don’t Waste My Time” hit with punchy basslines and slick melodies, while “I Love You” brings a surprisingly catchy, softer vibe without losing its edge.

Daz’s production feels more personal here, pulling from his deep-rooted style. The signature funk-infused bounce is unmistakable, and while the album doesn’t stray far from his comfort zone, it’s undeniably consistent. Some tracks lean heavily on familiar elements—talk-box vocals and smooth synth lines—but that’s where Daz shines. A few tracks could’ve used more variety to break up the flow. The overused howling vocal effect is a small distraction but doesn’t derail the experience.

This is Daz doing what he does best: creating music that’s straightforward, infectious, and distinctly West Coast. It might not rival his most iconic work, but The Adventures of Dilly Tha Dogg is a satisfying listen and a reminder of why Daz remains a staple in Hip Hop.
