RRGB, Kuruption, or DAT Whoopty Woop

[Sccit]

RRGB by Daz and Streetz by Kurupt were each one's magnum opus.  Their peak solo albums.  Take the best tracks from both and you have an idea of what Dogg Pound's follow up album WestCoast Aftershock could've been.

we already have that with dillinger & young gotti

RRGB by Daz and Streetz by Kurupt were each one's magnum opus.  Their peak solo albums.  Take the best tracks from both and you have an idea of what Dogg Pound's follow up album WestCoast Aftershock could've been.

Streetz comes too late in the time line to think of it as a possible follow up to Dogg Food. Especially since Kuruption came out before.  For fun you could put together a fandmade Dogg Pound West Coast Aftershock album with a tracklist like this that would've been mind-blowing...

1.  U Can't Cee Me (Dogg Pound version before it was given to 2pac)
2.  Got My Mind Made Up (DPG, Wutang, and Redman version before 2pac)
3.  Blueberry (feat. LBC Crew before given to Snoop's album)
4.  Nuthin But a Cavi
5.  Me In Your World
6.  Make Some Noise
7.  Fresh
8.  Tremendous Odds (sick ass track before given away to Duck Down and they did nothing to elevate it)
9.  Gang Bangin Ass Criminal
10.  It's Goin Down
11.  Our Daily Bread
12.  Groupie (before it was given to Snoop)

^^Add in some sequencing, some Ricky Harris, WBalls, Big Pimpin type skits or interludes, stretch it to 15 tracks (maybe even get rid of "Groupie")—That's a 5 mic classic.  You got your hit single with "Nuthin But A Cavi" you got your follow up single with "Me In Your World", and you even got a 3rd single with "U Can't Cee Me".  No skips on the album.  All of it up to the Dogg Food/Death Row/gold standard.

and when you think about it was there a better 2nd album by anyone else who was on the Death Row roster? Pac? Snoop? and I'm talking their 2nd albums period...and before someone says Dre the Aftermath presents is dope but not on Dillinger And Young Gotti level

Uhhh homie... are you forgetting AEOM and 7 Day Theory?

im not that far gone yet

I wasn't talking about their 2nd album on DR I was talking overall which for Pac would be Strictly4

yeah for sure, I knew I was missing something in your message, but sometimes you got to guess the meaning—so the other person knows what part you missed...

It's like if you are dealing with a low talker or someone speaking a new language, and they say something that sounds to you like, "zubza see backbee dayso" you just guess and say, "Oh, You see Subway in the back of the dayspa?"   And then they say, "No.  I say "I eat Subway every day".   They know what part you missed.

Now, let's say, you just say, "What?"   Then they might say, "cuzo wat toe" (cause I want to).   Then you say "What?" again?   And now you they are on another sentence and you have two sentences now you don't understand from them instead of just one.  Because they thought when you said, "What" you asked what, as in "WHY WOULD YOU EAT SUBWAY EVERYDAY?"   lol

Long explanation, but I'm a language teacher in a foreign country so i think about this type of stuff.

Aftermath Presents is 100X better than Dilinger and Young Gotti
Doggfather is 10X better than Dillinger and Young Gotti
Raw > Dillinger and Young Gotti
Strictly > Dillinger and Young Gotti

lol ur trippin

dillinger and young gotti is arguably a classic

i remember some people arguing it was better than dogg food, which is wrong, but just the fact that it was a discussion should tell u how great that album was

Never was a fan of the album.  💿 looked like something a kid printed off of his home computer.  I had a hard time taking it seriously

i personally loved it and thought the artwork was dope, particularly the tracklist art which was done by joe cool



sounds to me like u never gave it a proper chance and therefore have a bias against it

yes, there was a big problem in the mixing in this album .
The vocals don't cut through the beat. The vocals lack presence specially for Kurupt

Yeah after having the best of the best in the 90's — to see an album 💿 released like a JT the Bigga Figga project didn't seem right.

I think you guys are going more by the presentation of the album which you are right...it looked like Daz printed the covers out himself...same with RAW. I was actually impressed with that that here you have a guy of Daz's caliber that didn't even have to care about that and just put it out and have it be either equal to his 1st but at least his 2nd best...the only differnce is there is no question that Dogg Food is superior it even could be better than The Chronic adn Doggystyle...its at least tied.. that's what I take out of it and I'm just saying that all of us who are in this thread are heads that like to talk hip-hop especially about the era when we fell in love with it...now we're not all going to see eye to eye on specifics but the fact remains that everyone who is active on the DUB right now is a hip-hop head and its sad to see that where hip hop will be even 10 years from now

but like b. laden said.  the sound quality also didn't sound properly mixed and polished.  RAW on the other hand did have some cuts that banged out the speakers as well as anything I'd ever heard before..

"My speakers bumpin down the streetz
My speakers bumpin down the streetz
My speakers bumpin down the streets
Wit nuthin, but bass!"

So the mix and polish on RAW actually sounded more professional to me than Dillinger and Young Gotti.  I  respect your tastes as much as anyone, along with Sccit.  So if ya'll say Dillinger and Young Gotti is dope, salute for finding something in it that I didn't.  But I remember bumping the opening joint, "Dip Wit Us" on repeat -- but trying to get through the rest of the album was a chore

...and with Daz always wanting to make a quick buck, and Kurupt being known for uneven efforts after Death Row, you have to wonder how much effort they really put into it.  Dogg Food we know took months even years to record if you consider everything from the sounds and lyrics and artists they used on the record, so the polish was unquestioned.  They said in an interview they recorded like 100 tracks for Dogg Food.  It was a massive effort put into that album not just from Daz and Kurupt but the entire label behind them.

Suddenly you got just Daz and kurupt wanting a quick buck, I just didn't trust the album

its definitely not like Dogg Food because Dre mixed that

but it doesn't bother me that Mike Deans mix game is not as good because Dre is the GOAT when it comes to that

I'm just saying its their 2nd best album even with that and the fact that Daz and Kurupt were not the same MCs in 2001 as they were couple of years before well at least Kurupt wasnt
