Just finished listening to Dillinger & Young Gotti all the way through for the second time in a row and have got to say: I love this album.
For me it's totally a worthy follow-up to Dogg Food. Just sit back and listen to
Dipp Wit Me
Coastin'
Treat Her Like A Lady
Best Run
Shit Happens
C-Walkin Cha-Cha-Cha
Shit, there's not one song I don't feel, and I don't know how many albums I can honestly say that about these days. Only slip up is 'Work Dat Pussy', but it's so short that it's over before I remember I'm not that keen on it.
Only complaint is that Kurupt had too few battle rhymes on here. Other than that I can't fault it. I wasn't posting here when the album dropped, so wondered what the general feeling was - where does this album stand next to Dogg Food in everyone's view?
-
Its eazy, doggfood wins this one for me.
Dilli & young Gotti is a tight album and yeah most of the songs are fire, but doggfood is a classic from a classic rap era, cant beat that, lol....
-
Dogg Food
-
Dogg Food wins hands down.
-
it's not a question for me, Dogg Food shits all over D&YG.
-
um ya FUCK DOGGFOOD AND DAZ its DPG kIlla in here and thats y daz will never diss dresta again or he'll be sure to get killed HAHAHHA daz the kingpin stick with the 6 O's u dont need those other hoes...cuz they about to go all up in ya only if u let em ...ahahahhah 8)

Daz and Kurupt never fail to please!!!!!!
All there albums are dope!
-
Dogg Food is a straight classic. Dillinger and Young Gotti is a BANGER. Straight up.
When I first copped it, I didnt know what to expect. I figured something like RR & GB. Instead I got one bangin ass album.
The first 12 songs are sick. There are a couple of tracks that I would've preferred left off the cd (How Many, My Heart Dont Pump No Fear, Theres Somewhere Out). Not because they were wack, but because they were ONLY solid.
There are 2 reasons why Dillinger and Young Gotti cannot be compared at all to Dogg Food:
1- There is no evolution in rhymes, concepts, ideas etc.
Straight up gangsta shit. Whereas Dogg Food was gangsta shit mixed with that east style lyricism Kurupt provided.
2- Daz carried this album on his back. Him and Mike Dean came through on the production tip (not as good as Dre and Daz did on Dogg Food, but it was a banger nonetheless)
Daz came through with the hooks, and the flow. Dare I say, Daz outshined Kurupt lyrically on this one. Kurupt was horrible on this one. Lyrically, Kurupt was no where on this one.
Overall, song for song, Dillinger and Young Gotti was a banger. But Kurupts continued deterioration, and the stangnant concepts makes it incomparable to Dogg Food.
But Big Ups to Daz and Mike Dean for this one.
4/5

-
I like Dogg Food better because its such a classic BUT i think Dillinger & Gotti is one of, if not the best album to come out of the West Coast in the past three years.
Production was very innovative. Okay the lics were just gangsta but c'mon, u all know Daz and Rupt are two of the best at doing gangsta music. It didnt sound corny or played out at all. I remember when it came out I had that shit on repeat for weeks and months.

dogg food

Agreed. I should have made the thread clearer - I didn't really expect people to claim the album was better than Dogg Food, but listening to D&YG I was honestly stunned by how damn close it comes. I agree Dogg Food is classic, but I reckon D&YG comes very, very close to hitting that height.
Like you say, Kurupt lets it down. I really wouldn't go so far as to describe him as "horrible" - listen to that last track (the 're-make' of 'NY NY'), and he's close to how he used to be. But apart from that there's no discernible difference. IMO the beats on D&YG are up there with Dogg Food in terms of bumpability, musicality and melody - it just misses that extra bit of polish that Dre brings to the mix.

Dogg Food!
Shoulda been a poll too! ;)
(with the new board.... (yeah yeah) its possible to make threads polls after they're posted. woohoo)
-
Afer all these years listening to "Dogg Food" I like "Dillinger & Young Gotti" more...
-
dilli and young gotti is a great, great album. a very solid and worthy follow up to dogg food, but in no way does it even hold a candle to dogg food.
-
i love both albums i think its hard to compare them to each other as they came out so far apart. Also musically the r so different daz and mike dean make such a good combination though.
