Title: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: evan the dude on April 03, 2009, 12:13:05 AM: (http://www.planetky.com/gif/dazL.jpg)

I remember bumpin this back in '02 when it came out. I loved the single 'Keep It Gangsta', but to be quite honest I wasn't really feeling the rest of the album. I dug into my archives today and played it front to back. I must say I slept on this album. There are a couple shit tracks, and recycled verses, but all in all it is pretty dope. Definitely a different sound for Daz. The more I listen to this, the more I'm feelin it. Don't know why I didn't give it more of a chance originally.... Then again, I was only 16 back in 2002 ;D

Post by: Rick McCrank on April 03, 2009, 03:23:26 AM: "I Live Everyday Like I Could Die That Day" is a cool track...

Mike Dean & Daz made a good team...

one of the hidden tracks "Find a Moment" is the shit....

Post by: Booz on April 03, 2009, 05:44:59 AM: LMAO. I can't think of anything else than Carlton on the cover of this album, that prank pic is just too funny.
There is some good tracks, yes.

Post by: Lord Funk on April 03, 2009, 05:47:01 AM: Yep, a pretty nice album.

This is one of those CDs that I'll probably never think 'Hey, I'd really like to hear that today,' but if I'm just flipping through the rack trying to find something for a sunny day, I could pull it out and let it play.

Post by: Mietek23 on April 03, 2009, 05:56:25 AM: It's a decent album but it got some heat on it. Like you said, "Keep It Gangsta" is dope but the remix is even better ;D

The track with Too Short is also tight 8)
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Hatesrats™ on April 03, 2009, 06:05:58 AM: 8) very underrated Daz effort.
(Daz & Mike Dean good combo)

Post by: KrazySumwhat on April 03, 2009, 07:13:00 AM: Its a fucking awesome album. Most definately one of my favourite Daz albums. Great album.
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Michael on April 03, 2009, 07:18:37 AM: number 3 on my fave Daz albums. Great album!

Post by: EFFeX on April 03, 2009, 09:31:02 AM: I used to bump this all the time, haven't put it in rotation in the longest time though, good thread, I'm bumping this today!
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Jimmy H. on April 03, 2009, 12:54:00 PM: Whatever happened to the book and DVD that were supposed to come out after? I remember when this album came out, how much interest there actually was in DPG Recordz. There were lots of cool projects slated to drop but most never saw the light of day.

Post by: D-Nice on April 04, 2009, 10:43:42 AM: Great album. Last one that Mike Dean worked on with Daz.
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: TraceOneInfinite on April 04, 2009, 11:03:00 AM: I think like a lot of his projects after he left Death Row, it contained a few bangers, but was rushed and incomplete. He should spend like 3 years on just one album and make classics
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Crockett on April 05, 2009, 05:40:09 AM: he probly cant stick 3 years with out a check.. i always thaught if he focused on his producing game he could be at the top end of production big time

Post by: A.K.T. on April 05, 2009, 06:45:10 AM: I've always been a Daz fan, even tough i was 16 too when it came out i loved this album, damn u made me want 2 bump this album again!
My favorites: Ain't That Somethin', Keep It Gansta, Load Up, Run Tha Street, We Do This Passion (classic), This Is The Life I Lead & that bonus track with Kurupt, DPG 4 Life..

Any infos about Crystal ? I know she was on "U Know What I'm Throwin' Up" album but other than that ...
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Okka on April 05, 2009, 09:37:08 AM: "Run Tha Street" and "Keep It Gangsta" are my favourite tracks from this album.
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Dre-Day on April 05, 2009, 12:00:39 PM: it's funny how Daz really went downhill after this.
it's not that This Life i lead was super, but more that he fell of so hard after that
Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: ironmike on April 05, 2009, 12:13:14 PM: "this is the life i lead" was a dope ass album. real solid album. every track was atleast decent, so there was no filler tracks in my opinion, and then it had some real incredible tracks aswell.
i was turning 19 when this album came out, first year out of high school . i give this album 8/10

"DPGC: U Know What Im Throwin' Up" came out the next year, it's way more better then "This Is The Life I Lead". Never really liked this album except for a couple of tracks.

Post by: GangstaBoogy on April 05, 2009, 12:22:57 PM: I'm gonna take it a step further. This album is officially a classic in my book and is in my opinion Daz's best solo effort. I used to play that album like it was the only cd in my collection. Great album start to finish, bangin production, and he spit like he had somethin to prove. Obviously Kurupt was missing but I think thats what lit the fire under his ass (no homo).

Title: Re: You know, 'This Is The Life I Lead' really isn't that bad.
Post by: Giesuz on February 19, 2011, 02:17:19 AM: I think the title track is the best song on the album. It is one of the last good albums daz released, DPGC was probably the last worth buying. After that he had problems to put atleast one good song on a full lenght album. I haven't bought an daz album since DPGC and before i bought all.

Does anyone have this prank pic of the cover with Carlton?
