Dogg Food is a straight classic. Dillinger and Young Gotti is a BANGER. Straight up.

When I first copped it, I didnt know what to expect. I figured something like RR & GB. Instead I got one bangin ass album.

The first 12 songs are sick. There are a couple of tracks that I would've preferred left off the cd (How Many, My Heart Dont Pump No Fear, Theres Somewhere Out). Not because they were wack, but because they were ONLY solid.

There are 2 reasons why Dillinger and Young Gotti cannot be compared at all to Dogg Food:

1- There is no evolution in rhymes, concepts, ideas etc.
Straight up gangsta shit. Whereas Dogg Food was gangsta shit mixed with that east style lyricism Kurupt provided.

2- Daz carried this album on his back. Him and Mike Dean came through on the production tip (not as good as Dre and Daz did on Dogg Food, but it was a banger nonetheless)
Daz came through with the hooks, and the flow. Dare I say, Daz outshined Kurupt lyrically on this one. Kurupt was horrible on this one. Lyrically, Kurupt was no where on this one.

Overall, song for song, Dillinger and Young Gotti was a banger. But Kurupts continued deterioration, and the stangnant concepts makes it incomparable to Dogg Food.
But Big Ups to Daz and Mike Dean for this one.

4/5

Agreed. I should have made the thread clearer - I didn't really expect people to claim the album was better than Dogg Food, but listening to D&YG I was honestly stunned by how damn close it comes. I agree Dogg Food is classic, but I reckon D&YG comes very, very close to hitting that height.

Like you say, Kurupt lets it down. I really wouldn't go so far as to describe him as "horrible" - listen to that last track (the 're-make' of 'NY NY'), and he's close to how he used to be. But apart from that there's no discernible difference. IMO the beats on D&YG are up there with Dogg Food in terms of bumpability, musicality and melody - it just misses that extra bit of polish that Dre brings to the mix.

dilli and young gotti is a great, great album. a very solid and worthy follow up to dogg food, but in no way does it even hold a candle to dogg food.

i love both albums i think its hard to compare them to each other as they came out so far apart. Also musically the r so different daz and mike dean make such a good combination though.
