[pixtr]

D/L those and Bump them these are all 2012 songs 

"Whats Your Size" is tight, but rest of em is at most average, his shit for Eastsidaz was dope as fuck, especially "Give it 2 'em Dogg ", but now he is much average + dubstep tracks

Daz fell off the hardest when you look at his solo producing versus when he worked with others, Dre, Soopa, Mike Dean...

When exactly did Daz solo produce? He's as much of a collaborative producer as Dr. Dre is.

true, I considered that his work with Ivan Johnson was solo

^thats on u. cuz i thought it went hard and was one of the better beats on the album. it's a good production, period. might not be your taste, but if u listen to the instrumental alone, thats classic battlecat. mighta been a better cut with the eastsidaz rappin on it or what not, but that shit still knocks, especially in comparison to most other shit.

it's my taste but first of all it's kinda played out and second of all it's not very efficient, especially coming from battlecat. it's a caricature of his signature sound. that being said it's still decent. but to me it's uninspired and as such, doesn't have much replay value, if any. it sounds kinda stale, as if Battlecat was bored and out of ideas and decided to recreate a vibe from one of his best tracks. it could have worked, but it doesn't for me. it just doesn't have the chemistry and the soul. it's a shame because Battlecat & E-40 usually drop tight shit together. it has nothing to do with the people rapping on it.

To each his own i guess ... i thought Strugglin was a really dope cut plus several songs he did 4 Dcokah were bangin ... BTw he did not produced those Dubstep tracks and he still murder every beats hes features on (Best Kept secret /soopafly 4 exemple)

goldie loc was a dope underrated producer, thanks for the links. the shit he produced on the first eastsidaz album (dogghouse & give it 2 em dogg) as well as his album that leaked that was supposed to drop on dpg recordz was surprisingly good. i loved especially money, work 4 me & I'm a lowrider.

to me, it doesnt sound like a caricature of battlecats signature sound...it simply sounds like his signature sound, nothing more, nothing less. like he was in his best form when he made the beat. i agree, it does sound very similar to shit he was making in 2001-2003, but thats probably the point, the whole album had a throwback feel. this is by far his best style and my preference when bumpin battlecat beats. i think the bells might be a lil too similar to the bells in "G'd Up", which might be throwin u off a bit. other than that, i dont see how the beat doesnt knock.

I don't think it's so much that the producers have fallen off as much as the fact that there isn't as much of a demand for their classic brand of music so you see a whole lot less of them or they changed their style to stay current. I'm sure a lot of them can still bring that heat but it's just not their moment anymore.

As far as Battlecat and that E-40/$hort track goes, it's a good song. The problem is that Cat set the bar so high for himself with his old classics like Dollaz, Drank & Dank, We Can Freak It, G'd Up, Still More Bounce, Nah Nah, Cali Iz Active, etc. that the E-40/$hort song falls short eventhough it is a good song; I guess we just got spoiled by all the classics he's had.

One dude that I miss hearing is Bosko, I love the stuff he did with E-40 back around the Charlie Hustle days. Anyone got any info on him? Quik is still dope, he proved it on Book of David. He had a few signature style tracks on there and Nobody for me was an instant classic (no need to listen to it 10 time so it can grow on you, the shit was classic right off the bat). Quik's problem is that he's starting to experiment a little too much and the results make for an uneven album (like Blaqkout, first half tight, second half ). I love Quik but he needs to stay consistent.

I agree with the quik part .... exactly my feelin

Actually I thought Blaqkout was a pretty much perfect album beat wise, Quik even had some 'classic' verses on there IMO. kurupt was good but in the end brought the album down a notch from its protential. I think that's what makes it a love/hate album.

I've read Quik was pissed with the reception and sales of the album tho, I'm thinking maybe that's why the production and mood of Quik on BOD took another direction

"Blaqkout" is hella slept on...it's an 8/10...coulda been a 9/10 without the experimental filler tracks ("jupiters critic", "exodus").

Man..Soopafly produced his entire album ..Best Kept Secret.. one of best albuns last year...

A lot poor productions on Best Kept Secret, which even cant rival with his shit from Dat Woopty Woop, Bangin West Coast and productions as dope ghost producer

so whats wack beats from Battlecat what we can hear in recent years, rappers just dont take his dope beats cause who listens to g-funk now? a handful of people, he still got mad skills , "The Way Life Used To Be" is that what im still bumpin, and this is probably not change.

I agree its slept on but it still disappoints on lyrics. If u ain't listening for that its a summertime smash no doubt
