I wasn't feeling the CIA album but this track might be my favorite, Rage killed her verse and Kurupt had his best verse on that whole album IMO, wish the rest of the album could've been as dope

agree. Probably my 3rd fav song on the album behind the title track, and heavyweights. That beat is too smooth 8)
-
yeah the song is dope as hell....but i like the whole album
-
dope beat by Soopafly, Rage killed it too
-
Soopafly's beats were the highlight of that album for me. Rage does this with all her guest appearances= killin it. That song also will blow out speakers in a system.

true. Throwin Up Da C best track on that album 8) 8) i like the synthesizer.
-
yeah the song is dope as hell....but i like the whole album
I wasn't feeling the album at all, I thought there were too many different producers and the album felt like it was all over the place plus Kurupt except for that one verse on Keep it Gangsta was horrible like he didn't even put any effort

Kurupt an Rage's verses were nice as was soppa beat but i cnat listen to it without thinking of bad intentions.

Who you aimin at nigga, you know I got you
Look me up to find Nosferatu
You'll never get away motherfucker we after ya
I drain MC's, poetical Dracula
I take away your mind body soul and spirit
Vampiric, I mutilate with words and lyrics
I injure with verbs off herbs and spirits
I'm everywhere like germs and spirits
You can hear me everywhere day and night like birds and crickets
I got birds worth 14 tickets
You ain't got no money, no riders, no squad or bitches
Quit bullshittin, you ain't gotta lie to kick it
Rolled up on this nigga like nigga whattup
He said your name ain't Kurupt, nigga your name is Bankrupt
First thing I did was just smirked and laughed
I looked over at Daz and then we whooped his ass
The present is the present and the past is the past
And to stay in the present you should learn this fast
Dogg Pound is forever you should learn this fast
before we flash in a flash, millimeters and macs
Kurupt murdered it, but the rest of the album he was below average especially that Diddy track :-[
-
I could not get into Kurupt's verse on this. It sounded like a bunch of words thrown together that rhyme. I have been spoiled with his DR stuff so he on occasion will kill a verse but his on this just did not do it for me.

I always respect your opinion homey, I try not to judge it against his DR work but his delivery, flow and lyrics on this joint was on point IMO

Same here. I don't really judge it so much as when he does kill a verse it seems to stick out more to me now. I liked his verse on Throwin Up Da C a little more than this one. I think Snoop and Daz just outshined him on CIA. I bump SDDS more than CIA. he killed What The Fuck with Busta Rhymes though. I always wondered ehy they did not put that song on the album.

yeah SDDS I've been bumping alot lately and he had alot of tight verses Gangstas Part 2, Scrape Thru Tha Hood, Yes I'm Quiccer and the production on that album was dope, CIA I can't get into too much because of the different producers and guest spots it was more DPGC than Dogg Pound if that makes sense
-
I thought CIA sounded like a Snoop album. Snoop could have pulled it off but DPG sound best with Daz doing the bulk of the beats and Fred and the usual suspects doing them also. Also too many guests.

yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time but didn't turn out that great especially that Puffy track, the Soopa tracks were straight tho

I can see Snoop's intentions to make a more mainstream sounding album but only so many artists can pull that off and Dogg Pound did not sound well with all those different sounds and guests IMO. I do think if Kurupt would have stepped it up a notch on the lyrical tip, he would have made this album alot better. It sounded like he only was up for rapping on the Soopafly beats
-
i like this song, but there's only like 3 songs on CIA i don't like. i like it better than SDDS by a mile
also Kurupt rips:
keep it gangsta, kushnnpushn, and throwin' up da c

surprised you don't like SDDS Tanj, Kurupt was spitting on most of those tracks and Daz and Ivan did a great job on the production tip much better than Dogg Chit

Best lines on the entire album

sdds just wasn't melodic/funky enough for me. they were on that dark assassin tip, i like dogg chit and cia better. but sdds has a few stand outs

I thought the production scheme was ok, they were trying something different. I definately agree about Kurupt though
-
honestly when will artists like dpg & xzibit learn that when releasing an album on koch there is no point of filling it up with all these bullshit not-there-type- kinda tracks (diddy, paul wall, concentrate etc) because the cd is going to flop regardless
Concentrate as lead single on interscope, geffen, atlantic etc - GOLD

I hear ya, I don't really mind the dark tracks like Mo Murder for instance from Dogg Chit, CIA to me is more of a compilation album or a Snoop album like DNice said, the Soopafly tracks were dope cause he knows the DPG sound so well but some of the other combinations on the album were kind of awkward sounding to me
-
"Thrown Up Da C" is a dope beat by Soopafly but the lyrics are just as boring and plain as can be which gives it no replay value

I thought it was very melodic and catchy over all (the album that is), but I would have taken off the Paul wall song.

I have found daz/kurupt's flow/delivery/voice/rhythm along with the dope chorus/beat/production make this song replayably valuable to me.

I have been listening to CIA this weekend and its better than I thought, I still would put it towards the bottom of the Doog Pound discography but it is not a terrible album by any means, musically it is pretty dope just not what I'm used to regarding DPG albums and I still think Kurupt was spitting hot garbage but he still has one of the best voice/delivery/flow in rap no matter how bad his lyrics are
-
Man I am telling yall, the Soopafly songs on CIA BANG in the ride. Those songs boom in a system, so does It's All Hood
-

I thought Battlecats beats were tight too even though he got alot of hate when the album dropped, another thing xcept for the Diddy track where Kurupt spits the worse verse in the history of hiphop he rips most of the tracks, I guarantee take that track off the album and everybody would be saying how nice Kurupt was on the album
-
I think he was nice on CIA and I think his verse on 'candy' is worse than his verse on the diddy song.
-T
-
Lol yeah, he should put some more effort in his lyrics, then he would be much doper.
-
Roscoe ghostwrote Diddys verse on "Craccin All Night", I used to have the mp3 with Roscoe spitting it as a reference.. but stupid me i reformatted my computer and lost it.
and they kinda tweaked the beat for Keep It Gangsta.. initial versions of the song had much more bass and it hit much heavier.
-
Ne Body got this track?????? ;D ;D

Yeah the Battlecat beats were good, not his usual heat that he drops for beats but they were good.

no doubt, forgot who did it but I'm digging the Kushn N Pushn beat too
-
LT Moe did the beat. Yeah that was a nice one also. I ended up adding a bonus disc to the album with the cuts that did not make the cut and they make the album much better for me.
-
The album, on its own is pretty good though, i loved the 16 tracks that were on the regular disc. 8)

Yeah it's cool. Not what I was expecting but that is not always a bad thing.
-
Yeah i think that's why alotta people dislike it, cause it didn't live up to their expectations and stuff. I think they expected some other Dillinger & Young Gotti with traditional productions and stuff, but it turned out to be a more "commercial" album but that's not bad in my opinion.
I really listen to this album back to forth, only weak song is the Paul Wall song like someone said already.

My beef with the album was Kurupt came weak on some tracks. A couple of weak tracks but not bad overall.

I like that more then Funk, so to me SDDS is a dope record.

stuff like this makes me believe newer DP fans see it different.
cause to old DP fans like myself....DYG1 is NOT traditional production, and that's why it's so dope. I think it's the newer fans expectations that ain't met. old fans like d nice, higheyecue and myself seem to like alot of these records just fine. but that's just a thought

I'm a newer DPG-fan myself, but i like almost their whole catalogue, some people don;t like to see mainstream records though, so they start to hate on albums like Cali Iz Active from underground groups/rappers who have some help of mainstream producers/rappers. You gotta listen objectively though. 8)
-
I can appreciate all of the different styles DPG has rocked over the years. I prefer the traditional Daz production when it is on point but you can't deny D&YG with Mike Dean. Those beats were something else. Same with Soopafly and Fred Wreck beats. I liked CIA, I can listen to it, but for me Kurupt's rhymes were weak at best and some of the production did not fit them well. I thought Snoop was killing the mic on that album and Daz had some dope rhymes as well. But the highlight for me beat wise was the Soopafly beats.
-
I'm feeling that track "Don't Sweat It" with RBX and Snoop doing the hook, cold ass beat and Daz, RBX and Kurupt all rip it but it says featuring Nate is he doing background vocals, I remember when I first got the album and thought Cube was gonna drop a verse and they just sampled his voice :(
-
Yeah big disappointment, Cube is just sampled i thought he spit on that track to so i was like "wtf" when i didn't hear him.
As for that other track Nate is on the background singin' "waaaahooooo" but nothing more then that. Lol.

Don't Sweat It has some serious bass to it, I liked that track also. Yeah It's All Hood would have been dope if they added Cube on a verse, being he has never done a track with Tha Dogg Pound. But even with the sample it bangs. Snoop killed his verse on there.

liked both those tracks, yeah Snoop was is in top form I though throughout, not really feeling the Paul Wall, Banner and Jazzy Pha joints not saying they are wack but I don't think DPG meshed that well over these southern beats but overall I underrated this album, of the 16 joints maybe 4 or 5 I don't like which is alot better than when I first heard the album a year ago

Yeah I bump it from time to time. I thought they had of potential singles that they did not drop on that album, especially Sittin On 23z and even though Cube just had a hookon It's All Hood, I thought with Cube dropping a album around the same time they could have capitalize off of that.

Sittin On 23z would've been a great single, don't know why they didn't drop it , SDDS only had one video too while Dogg Chit has had 4 videos already but hasn't really helped the sales, weird that D&YG 2 has sold more than 113,000 and I don't think any of these other albums have come close to that
-
I know CIA did about 100k. Dogg Chit really has had only 1 official single on MTV/BET for Vibe and the rest have been Youtube videos. I hear Vibe every once and a while on the radio out here in Vegas and they were playing the hell out of Cali Iz Active when it first came out. I always thought Sittin On 23z would have been the perfect single to drop. Houston rappers capitalized on that whole candy paint, and rims and low riding back then so I thought as long as they got it on the radio and did a dope video for it, it would have blown up but it did not happen.
-
I doubt Dogg Chit is getting another single being that Daz album will be out in August, I think it dropped out of the charts after around 20k, a big dissapointment after their last 2 albums sold over 100k

Yeah but the last 2 had more hype surrounding them. D&YGII was the reunion album and CIA was backed by Snoop. DC they did not even start promotion until after it dropped, but sales or no sales I enjoy the album.

I like it but I think that Daz took a step back from his production on D&YGII and SDDS which I thought was his best work in years, hopefully their next album maybe have a couple of more Soopafly beats, wouldn't mind some Fred Wreck but I doubt that will happen, it will probably be mostly Daz and Ivan Johnson, hopefully they come through

Daz needs to work on his mixing and mastering. It has been hit and miss. SDDS and D&YGII had good mixing. Bangin Westcoast and DC- no. Yeah we have not had some Fred Wreck on DPG stuff in a minute.
