What's Daz best verses?

[TraceOneInfinite]

This is the one that always comes back to me like an ear worm I can't get out...

"My thought's complete so let me take a seat/
Since I was born and raised
on the Eastside of Long Beach.."

based on the fact that he reused it on at least 5 different tracks I think Daz considers his opening verse here his best

the 2 verses by Nas were the real highlight of the track however especially his last verse

I never liked this...

It always sounded fan made to me, like, "oh let's put Nas and Dogg Pound together on a song".

Objectively this is Daz best verse and his big breakout moment.  I actually thought he had the best verse.  Cause he brought sort of brought out the Bone (before Bone) flow mixing singing, harmonizing, rapping, and he had a lot of style and charisma in his skinny dayz -- before he sort of overexposed himself.

Also funny how when I was a kid I thought that the character Ricky Harris was playing was like a real guy (not a comedian), like some old school club owner, lol, I had only just turned 12 when this came out...

If they were gonna put Dogg Pound and Nas on a track, Daz should've produced something like what Pete Rock did with Kurupt and Nas sort of matching each other with the same East Coast style lyrical energy, a bit like what another great producer Pete Rock did when he put Inspectah Deck and Kurupt on a track together.  This is what the Dogg Pound and Nas track should've been like, "TRU MASTER" (and Daz could've done like the chorus and maybe a verse and done some harmonizing or even just taken a verse and matched them cause Daz can do his thing as well and hold his own wit tha greats on the mic as well, btw)



"GOD IS GOOD GROWING UP IN THE HOOD/
DONE SOME THINGS BAD AND SOME THINGS GOOD"

--Kurupt--

..or even better if DPG was in their Prime they could've made a monster joint like Dre did pairing Game and Nas

Tru Master was a classic

I still remember seeing the video for the 1st time either on BET or MTV raps I don't even remember

It was 99% likely you saw it on BET.  It didn't crack the mainstream enough to make MTV but certainly got a lot of love on BET

yeah you're right

MTV which was heavy into hip-hop in the mid 90s seemed to forget about the genre by '98

I still remember watching this live

It's not that MTV forgot about the genre it's that our favorite artists and tracks were front and center in the Death Row era but then they faded to second tier on MTV.  Bad Boy, Ruff Ryders, Rockafella, Def Jam, No Limit Records — these labels and artists were flooding the market after Pac died and Death Row/West Coast wouldn't return to prominence until "Bitch Please" brought about the resurgence

Also, something that Em doesn't get enough appreciation for is that there is an argument that he saved and brought back the West — because really it was the SSLP and "Forgot About Dre" that brought Dre back and the West piggybacked off Aftermath's success
