Just read the new interview with Jermaine Dupri over at allhiphop.com. Daz gets mentioned briefly (JD says that he and Slim are ''waiting in the wings'') but then later on Dupri is listing all the artists that will be coming out on So So this year...needless to say there was no mention of Daz. He is, however, really plugging his new artists SunNY and Mikkey, as well as Young Capone and T. Waters. I have an unfortunate feeling that Daz has got lost in an over-populated roster over there. ''So So Gangsta'' in 2006? Even then, I'm not going to be holding my breath. :-\

The last time I read something about JD's upcoming complilation, Daz wasn't even mentioned. It's a bad sign when you're apparently not even in the running for a showcase album for your label.

I wonder if JD got pissed at Daz keeping on with his independant thang? (ie. DP Gangsta LP and Gangsta Crunk)...

True...but it would be nice to see Daz (or any West Coast artist) get some mainstream exposure. He can't get that on DPG/Gangsta Advisory which is probably where the new Pound album will come out on, just like ''Dillinger & Young Gotti'' and ''Tha Last Of Tha Pound''.

with Tha Dogg Pound back in full swing, i doubt Daz or Kurupt for that matter are preparing for a solo to drop this year...I mean the new Dogg Pound album my put them in better positions to drop a solo that might actually sell records...Tha Dogg Pound album is set to drop this year ot early next year, the way Snoop is describing it it's not just a Snoop/Daz/Kurupt album, but everyone: Warren, Nate, Rbx, Rage, Soopafly etc. so how much Daz is recording for the album who knows? but Daz has been getting mroe attention than ever so it really doesnt matter...T.I. , Young Gunz, Snoop, J.D. he's featured on all those albums, or has worked with them this year, i say let him build a bigger fan base then drop an album, to me Daz should be on Kanye's level talking shit ( ::) well about how many classics he has under his belt for that matter...

Yup, I'm pretty sure there was an interview with Daz which asked him about JD's feelings on his independant releases, and he basically implied that he wasn't exactly happy about it but at the same time he couldn't prevent him from dropping those CD's. It does seem strange that Dupri was hyping him up a lot when he was newly signed and gaining a little buzz - now that has completely fizzled out.

Perhaps the move from Jive to Virgin messed with Daz a little bit. When they were on Jive they were apparently preparing to drop ''So So Gangsta'' and the ''Boyz N The Hood'' video (they released it as a 12" single as I recall) and that's when he was all over the DJ Kool Kid ''So So Def: Baped Out'' mixtape. He moves to Virgin and...nothing.

Or maybe JD just asked himself the million-dollar question: ''how the hell do I market DAZ (!) to the legion of teenyboppers that buy my music???''.

Daz should stick to producin'. Does anybody know if Daz had something to do with the production of that Tipsy track? Somehow it seems like he has had an influence on that.

trackboyz are fucking bitters. fuck them.

Whats more fucked up is that J.D. signed that dude SunN.Y. a few months ago from when he was on 106 and Park freestyle Fridays. this was around April. Now his album is coming out that fast.. Daz has been their for years and he aint releasing shit.

thats simple man...SunN.Y is more Marketable than Daz, dude could easily have a fan base , while Daz only have a lil bit more than the dubcc posters...and I guess Daz dont wanna let JD handle his whole career anyway

Whatever, Daz already dropped 2 albums in the past 6 months, so I've definitely gotten my Daz fix for a while.  And with the Dogg Pound coming back, I'm sure we'll have enough Daz to hold us over for a long time.
