I always liked So So Gangsta, too bad J.D. didn't promote the shit like he should have, not even a Ross fan, but that song is banging
-
Ehh that era of Daz was real...so so ;D
I miss "This is the Life I Lead" era Daz. When Kurupt left he sounded angry, grimey, like he had something to prove.
-
I liked his so so def album and style during that time period. That was his hottest beats in awhile.
-
The production was on point but Daz just seemed really lazy lyrically, then again, I've never been a huge Daz fan.
-
Daz is dope when hes mad..dpgc u know

It was a great album.
If he included some of the left-overs it would have been ever better.

I think that's part of the beef Daz has with JD. JD insisted it was going to be a 12 track album and Daz wanted to put more tracks on it.. in particular Boyz In Da Hood with Nate Dogg and the OG Blaze Up The Weed with Redman on it.

didn't really feel the album but some good tracks from this era from daz. definitely the track with nate as mentioned. others i liked:
'money on my mind' feat. kurupt (very dope scott storch beat, sick bassline, easily the best track off the so so LP)
'r u single' (leftover, funkin!)
'party people'
'git drunk' (to a lesser extent)
-
On Some Real Shit is the only track of the album that I'm not feeling. It just doesn't fit the rest of the album. Rest of the production is banging. And Same Day Different Shit has banging production too.
-
I really like his So So Gangsta LP and didn't understand that some users really trashed the album back then. It's a solid album with great production and some different style of tracks.
The tracks I am really feeling are "Money On My Mind", "DPG Fo' Life" and the Ice Cube part of "Strizap" - great when he speeds up his flow.

Id say from when Daz left Death Row until he left So So Def he was on fire with his solo career. RAW was a great album then summer of 02 Life I Lead and was in constant rotation, I Got Love In Deez Streets EP, then the next summer DPGC... U Know What Im Throwin Up was in constant play, He was on So So Def for a while, I remember hearing "Boyz In The Hood" with Nate Dogg on the radio a couple times. There was So So Def Daz mixtape released in 2004 it had some of the leftovers(boyz n the Hood, Blaze Up, the One Remix). Then after Dogg Pound Gangsta LP & Gangsta Crunk came out, All I Need was one of my fav singles in 05, the underground hip hop station we had played it quite a bit. So So Gangsta FINALLY dropped in Sept 06 (after Cali Iz Active). When this came out it was better than I had anticipated. The WHOLE album was dope, from start 2 finish ( i usually skip "badder than a mutha", "dangerous" & "the one" though). I was pumped about Strizap too, Daz & Cube had finally did a song together, something I wanted for years.
Anyway fav tracks:
Rat a Tat Tat
Strizap
All I Need
Dats Dat Nigga
-
The One is a serious track!!! Props for Daz going deeper lyrically. 8)
-
I think "It's Tyme To Ride On 'Em" is Daz' best track from that time.
-
The real reason why that album didn't blow up and get major due was because JD was pissed off at the fact that Daz was releasing a bunch of indy garbage at the time he was trying to push a major release. Daz had recorded a ton of great tracks like "It'z MY Thang" ft. Kurupt, "Git Drunk," "Boyz In Da Hood" ft. Nate Dogg, & "Party People" ft. Jagged Edge (which got airplay on the West).
JD couldn't promote the album because he couldn't establish a buzz with an artist who constantly was releasing indy music. I don't blame him for being upset this should have been a classic.
-
Yeah I like that album too..
Lead single was dope too.. Bumped that a lot back then..
you know pre-exposed-Ross was pretty cool.. lol
-
I remember at the time thinking daz might actually seel pretty well with so so def behind him.
As for the album i thought it was one of his weaker ones, it had some heaters but overall it was like the label so so ;D
-
Left best song off the album and imo daz wasnt on fire durin that era
