Dillinger & Young Gotti sounded more like an album put together that way on purpose.

I've always said Dilli & Gotti was their best shit after Dogg Food by far. Mike Dean did wonders on that album. I remember when I bought it in 2002 i would play the track with Xzibit on repeat lol.
In California didn't blow because it wasn't a good enough track, it's a caricature of a westcoast themed song to me

yea, "2002" even had a couple raw cuts from "D&YG" without the additional mike dean production.
Mike Dean really put a cool spin on the production. Frankly Daz's shit was starting to get old. I wish I had ripped the album -- I remember I accidentally broke the CD maybe ten years ago.
Mike Dean really added his touch to the albums he helped produce, you can hear the crazy riffs and rich instrumentation on Dillinger & Young Gotti, This is the Life I Lead and Daz & Pac's Don't Go To Sleep. First 2 Bomb is even better than Pac's original (already produced by Daz). It's a shame he split with Daz, but I guess it's was for the best for him since he's been on Kanye's production team for a while and producing for the likes of A$AP Rocky. But he seemed to genuinely like working with the DPG though. Mike Dean has to be among the most underrated producers,people don't know the classics he has under his belt for Rap-a-Lot, the music he produced for DPG and the work he's been putting in for Kanye, I bet they think Kanye produced songs like Devil in a new Dress...
When i heard RRAGB it was when i was in college 10 years ago, i loved the album to death and at that time i used to like daz much better than kurupt and i still have a soft spot for daz over kurupt in his rapping style but not the south crap his makes nowadays, anyway i remember me and my friend was in a store and out the blue R.A.W. was lying on the shelf, i didn't have the money to buy it, so my friend quickly bought it for Ģ19 we both went home and i was so envy of him that he had the privilege to listen to it before me, next day he comes to my house and says i recorded 4 tracks of it u can listen to it on your hi-fi but u can't make a copy of it, and im thinking what the fuck kind of friend is this guy the first track was whatcha talkin bout and hearing it, it blew my mind. i kept begging him please sell it to me and he was refusing so i made him a offer saying i'll give u Ģ25 for it, he agreed but i never had the money for so i went and stole Ģ25 from my brothers wallet and it was the best thieving ever and yes i do prefer RAW than RRAGB.
Quote from: Jack Trippa 3z company ho on May 08, 2013, 10:38:43 AMInitiated should have been the lead single. I think "In California" was if I remember correctly...not a bad song, Daz solo w/ Jewell. But yeah anything with 2pac on a single at the time would have blown. Follow up w/ OGs and it could have easily went gold if not platinum. I don't know if I'd agree with Initiated being the LEAD single, but it definitely should've been a focus of the album in terms of marketing. It wouldn't have been a problem. Even with Pac and Kadafi being dead at that time, the Outlawz were still technically signed to Death Row, so I don't think they'd have had a problem with making guest appearances in a music video, except for Fatal (who didn't sign and wasn't in LA anymore anyway).On that topic, Jack Move would've been a dope song to put on this also.
