ha are you serious?  bow down is straight and i could see somebody picking either but dogg food easily has a stronger case at being a better album.  better production & kurupt spits harder than anybody in wc. 

shit is like triple platinum too


and this goes toe to toe with any track off bow down

Dogg Food BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Bow Down was a very timely album, and I truly appreciate Ice Cube for standing up for the West Coast, and that Source cover issue with him throwing up the dubb is classic.  "Bow Down" the title track was a classic song.  

...that being said, the Dogg Food album had "New York, New York".   And it is hard to beat "Bow Down" but "New York, New York" was an even bigger record in my opinion.

...the whole Dogg Food album from top to bottom is bangin, there is not one track you have to skip over.  It was Death Row in it's prime, Dre was even still hangin around in those days, and Snoop was all over the album; so you really can't fuck with that record.

And somebody above was saying they didn't like "Let's Play House" but I thought that was a great lead single for the album.  It had Nate Dogg, Michelle', great summertime joint (even though it came out in winter, it was still poppin for me when summer of 96 came around).

Post by: bouli77 on May 12, 2011, 12:23:06 AM
I'd say Dogg Food. More consistent, more versatile, longer. Bow Down is close though. Three Time Felons, that's my joint  8)

agree with gfunkgueroLA, Reality is easily one of the best Dogg Pound tracks ever. people often mention New York new York but I don't even think it's among the best tracks in Dogg Food. the beat is fire and Kurupt spits some savory lines and of course it's a classic due to the impact it had when it came out but Kurupt's verses were too damn long it damn near killed the dynamism of the track.
Title: Re: Bow Down or Dogg Food
Post by: KC-HOODSTA on May 12, 2011, 12:37:43 AM
for bow down to even be in discussion with dogg food considering it had what??

10 or 11 tracks compared to like 15 or 16 lol.


im not tryna sound like a hater but i seriously dislike dogg pounds music especially when that ONE album is all they had going for them. and that ONE album is overated as fuck just like how Jay z reasonable doubt is overated.

at first i couldnt decide...but after thinking about it for like 10 mins..ive realized im going with bow down...

dogg food is classic g-funk..bow down is a harcore pure west coast hip hop album..

it ultimately came down to not skipping one track on bow down..while dogg food had some fillers i couldve done without...ie: if we all fucc, so much style, do what i feel, one by one..

How is that flip flopping? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur

The fact this forum is only interested in west coast gangsta rap doesn't affect the quality of the music. If you only listen to gangsta rap it doesn't mean some of those albums aren't classics. It says more about you and your limited music taste than it does about the music.

Bow Down when it first came out I was not sure if WSC could carry a whole album being that they only had 2 songs previously done together but for a debut group album they did they thing. One of the best pure gangsta rap albums of all time IMO. Now as far as duos, DPG you don't get much better than that. I love both fuck it  ;D
Title: Re: Bow Down or Dogg Food
Post by: BiggSadot on May 12, 2011, 07:10:48 AM
Dogg Food. Both classics tho. Bow Down was harder and meaner but gets trumped by that classic death row sound with Dre and Daz in their prime and nobody in WSCG was fuckin wit Kurupt lyrically back then. Neither album was overrated so niggas need to shut up wit that shit.

Bow Down was the last great album from Cube.

Dogg Food was the only great album from the DPG.

From them albums , beat wise you can call it a match. Lyrically Ice Cube cant be tested.

Post by: B.A. on May 12, 2011, 11:49:21 AM
I love both these albums, it's really close. Dogg Food has some great production (smooth classic Death Row sound) and Bow Down has more of a hardcore gangter sound to it which is dope. I think Bow Down is a little bit tighter consistency wise because it's shorter. I think the first 3/4 of Dogg Food is perfect but when tracks like "If We All Fuck" and the next track "Bomb Ass Pussy" come in the flow of the album gets thrown off; I always skip both these tracks. Doog Food should have gone from "Do What I Feel" straight into "A Doggz Day Afternoon" and it would have sounded better overall; more tracks don't always make for a better album. Bow Down is shorter but doesn't have any tracks that I have to skip so for that I say Bow Down is better but both are classics.

"So Much Style", "Do What I Feel" and "One By One" aren't bad songs (better than "If We All Fuck" and "Bomb Ass Pussy") but definitaly not as good as any of the tracks from the first half of the album or "A Doggz Day Afternoon" and "Reality". If Dogg Food wouldn't have had these tracks and been just a 11 - 12 track album (and maybe include the original "Big Pimpin'" from the Above The Rim soundtrack instead of "Big Pimpin' 2") it would be full of nothing but classics and better than Bow Down for sure.

One of the things that made Bow Down so dope to me was the production. Top notch throughout and for the most part it was done minus Bud'da from producers not directly taught under Dr. Dre. So for me it had a fresh, innovative sound but at the same time it was west the fuck out.

Dogg food hoie. The intro alone is iller than bow down. I love Bow Down and what it did for the coast. The beats were on. Point and the whole grup sounded hungry like they were new niccas. The only setback is the subject matter. I wouldnt call it a setback but in this debate thats what dosent measure up. Dogg Food album is betternimo becuz it flows all the way through. The intro comes on bangin and kurupt and daz rip it, then the next joint comes on and u hear Dre and the ""respect" beat comes on and u know this album is gonna be dumb. We all pretty much put NYNY on another level thats a given. Bomb ass pussy, do what i feel, psyco like no, reality,. I guess in a sense i related to dogg fod more cuzz it was from b.g. Or a young niccas perspective moreso as Bow Down was the o.g.'s riding for a cause. But BOTH are classics and should be in some type of Hall Of Fame............. Add CMW "music to driveby" too
