If we talkin strictly discography wise. No solo shit, just group albums. I thought this would be an interesting poll because there's so many Dogg Pound "fanatics" on DubCC and Cypress Hill's music isn't even discussed here that much. I personally think there's no questionin' who has more classics, but others might feel different though.
I'm goin' with Cypress Hill.
-
discography?
Cypress Hill definitely
but Dogg Pound is more interesting as performers and group/solo-artists..
-
Discography? Gotta be real and say Cypress.
-
I went with Dogg Pound.
Dogg Food - 5/5
Temples of Boom - 4.5/5
Dillinger and YoungGotti - 4.25/5
Black Sunday - 4/5
IV, cypress hill, d&g 2, - 3.75/5
And i think dpgs poorer albums are alot better than cypress hills.
These are just group. If we are talking solos too. Dpg are up there with Wu Tang in terms of classics.
-
Depends what falls under Tha Dogg Pound. Just Daz & Kurupt or the brand which includes Snoop Dogg, Bad Azz, E-White, Kokane, Nate Dogg, Warren G etc...
I'm going to go with Cypress Hill though.
-
Cypress to smokin, Dogg Pound to ridin. I like DPG more than Cypress, but...

As far as classics go, Dogg Pound got "Dogg Food" and that's the only album you really can call a classic. The first "Dillinger & Young Gotti" is a great album, but it just has too many fillers IMO. Cypress Hill's classics are "Temples Of Boom" and "Black Sunday", "IV" comes real close too but it has a few songs that i always skip. For example, "Riot Starter" didn't really fit the "theme" of the album and the album would've been better without it.
Depends what falls under Tha Dogg Pound.
I'm talkin about what Daz and Kurupt released as a group.

tough question id say cypress but both = legends
-

Lol, cool. Yeah it's funny though, the similarites with them with their later albums.
My favorite albums from both are either all produced by them or their affiliates. Cypress- Muggs, Alchemist, Fred, etc DPG- Dre, Daz, Battlecat, Soopa, Fred, etc
the more diverse both groups try to be, I tend to like those albums less than their earlier work.
-
tha dogg pound bitch, cant hate on cypress hill though there dope 8)
-
DOgg pound!!!!!
Although.... Cypress Hill used to get bumped a lot at partys i went too so sometimes it does bring back memories.
-
Dogg Pound.. easy.. just based off how fuckin incredible Dogg Food is.
-
From a production/beats standpoint it is not even close.
-
Cypress Hill all the way no doubt no question.
There first album(self titled) my all time favorite hip hop albums tied with str8 outta compton.
-
I Went With Tha Dogg Pound Easily... ;)

Cypress Hill = 3 Dope albums.
Dogg Pound = 1 Dope album.
Cypress got more dope hit-singles too.

- Dillinger & Young Gotti 2: The Saga Continuez
- Cali Iz Active
- Dogg Chit
- That Was Then, This Is Now
- 100 Wayz
I just can't see how somebody can say that Dogg Pound got a better discography. "Dogg Food" is one of my favorite albums, but still it's just one album and that's the only album from them that is PERFECT. Both "D&YG" albums are good too, i love them both, but other than that what they got? "Cali Iz Active" was OK, too many mainstream soundin' songs on that. "Dogg Chit" was aiight too, not so many great songs on it though. "That Was Then, This Is Now" had like 6 songs i liked. "100 Wayz" is actually IMO their best album since "Cali Iz Active", i've been bumpin that album couple of times now. Kurupt still strugglin with his rhymes and so is Daz, but the beats are tight as fuck. Only weak album that Cypress Hill does have is the new one, that's one of the worst albums i've heard in years.

overall, cypress discography is much better - yes.
but "Dogg Food" shits on every dope Cypress Hill-album combined IMO..

Dooooooogg Poooooound 8)

Cypress Hill are more relevant in todays music industry than DPG are
-
ill go with dpg, they have dropped a lot of weak shit but most cypress songs start to get on my nerves with their voices

Cypress Hill's first two albums are considered big classics by critics, their debut is meant to be more of a classic because when it came out the production was next level and their style was brand new. Black Sunday is a classic, though not as highly as their debut (though it's my favorite personally).
Temples of Boom didn't get received very well because expectations were so high, and they got less funky and there was more filler... looking back though it's a dope, chilled out album, kinda like how Doggfather is pretty good looking back, but at the time was a big disappointment. A few critics argue that Temples is classic, though their other albums aren't considered classics after that.
Dogg Food is just about a classic, though most critics at the time considered it a 4 star album, because it's inferior to Doggystyle and The Chronic and is kind of just another remake of those two albums (Doggystyle always gets called a classic because it builds upon the stuff on the Chronic, while Dogg Food isn't quite as tight or sharp so sometimes it's on the line).
None of the other Dogg Pound albums are considered classics.

TOB for Cypress I thought tone wise was probably their most gangsta album. And the production on it was really on some other shit. Sounded like they really went to a temple and just soaked in recordings from there. Black Sunday had more radio friendly hits but I always digged their 3rd album because it was nothing like the 1st 2. They were in their heyday a west coast version of Outkast, their sound was always evolving.

the Dogg Pound because the Dogg food was ahead of its time and in my opinion the best death row record

"Temples Of Boom" had a dark sound to it. I loved that. It's a classic IMO. "Black Sunday" was real dark too.

TOB was a instant classic for me. 1st album too but even to this day that is one of the most diverse sounding albums i have ever heard.

i really like Tha Dogg pound, but the answer is Cypress, it isn't a question.

I'll leave it at that.

Cypress.
Temple Of Boom = Best rap album.

TOB I think has the most smoked-out tracks on it, like it sounds most like being high, and could possibly be the best to get high to (though maybe it's a bit depressing, too lol)
-
I'll go with Tha Dogg Pound. But the real question is who would win in a smokathon??
-
to me temples of boom isnīt just a classic rap album , itīs an album that was a soundtrack to a phase in my life. i know it from front to back . didnīt like it at first but then started loving the whole sound. itīs so damn dark and b-real was going all out on people that had gotten him mad . cypress lacks that same fire nowadays.
i like dogg food a lot but thereīs a lot of tracks i skip . but the rest are gold

Cypress hands down lol.
Like Warren G said, didn't B~Real like create weed lmao.
Now Snoop and B Real would be a crazy one.
-
Went with Tha Dogg Pound because I'm much more a fan of their work - both the group and solo stuff. As i've read through this topic though, I've realized that Cypress may in fact have the edge. I've only heard some of the stuff from their first 4 albums, but some of their early stuff is certainly classic and has a distinctive style that Dpg lacked sometimes.

Cypress Hill

Dogg Pound is far superior
-
Huge fan of both, but I gotta go with Cypress hill. Every musicvideo they released(And its ..many) has been 10/10 for me personally. Dogg Pound margine of quality varies from 1-10. And you cant forget the Smoke out festival either.
Good topic tho. Two of the best groups to ever do it. True talent, and both groups are huge fans of eachother- They've done some collabos on Cypress albums. Cypress are probaly Abit bigger worldwide, but in USA its pretty close.

DPG
Too much classics from tha Dogg Pound

Both got 25 votes right now, let's bump this thread.

Yeah, true that.

How can people vote for DPG?
-
Dogg Pound.. easy.. just based off how fuckin incredible Dogg Food is.
-
I voted for Cypress Hill even though DPG is my favorite group of all time, too many inconsistencies later in their career and we are not counting their solo projects.
