On my 1st press of Dogg Food on the back cover it stands "EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: SUGE KNIGHT AND DR.DRE".
Long story longer, Sneed produced Keep Their Heads Ringing, Natural Born Killaz and U Better Recognize as well as having his hands all over the stuff from the Exclusive Unreleased album that leaked of early Aftermath. What's that? What exclusive unreleased album from early Aftermath?
snoop said dre helped with production on dogg food but he is not credited for. who knows
Well Dre is credited in the official liner notes with mixing every song. He probably mixed and sequenced the entire album (except I think Dre's homie Pooh did everything for "New York, New York").Maybe Dre could've even taken the production credits (except New York New York) on Dogg Food as well but it wasn't good marketing to have Dre put any more shade over Daz instead boosted Dogg Pound's cred and image and it was their platform and their moment to showcase themselves to the world so it was important for Daz to get those props as producer of the album.
How can you uncredited on the album you execute produced while you co own the company?
he is credited on each song as "mixed by dr. dre". i have no doubt dre co produced a few songs too.
a favor to daz for not being credited on doggystyle a way to help build the dogg pound brand
Dre was actually interviewed at the Murder Was the Case video shoot and they asked him what albums were in the works and he said Round 2 basically of Snoop and Dre. So a follow up to the Chronic or Snoop's follow up to Doggystyle.This has been mentioned in many articles and interviews that Daz just kept kind of plugging away, plugging and then it came as a slight surprise to Dre and Suge when they saw what Daz had in the chamber for a Dogg Food album. I mean Dre was still down with Death Row and in the building in those days so he was around for the foundations of Dogg Food before it was even called Dogg Food; like when it was just them fuccing around and trying to make dope shit in the studio not yet even under an official title or project yet...Then it started to build to the point where Dogg Pound had enough there that Suge went ahead and greenlighted the project and he believed in Daz and Kurupt.. and Dre went in and put his midas touch on it and mixed and sequenced and they had full backing from the label and it went on to become another great, classic successful Death Row project....but long story short, getting back to the album credits situation Dre was more flexing his muscles on Chronic and Doggystyle and it wasn't really a big deal for him to spotlight Daz in the credits. It wasn't even until after the Murder Was the Case project that they really started realizing Daz and Kurupt had enough their to really get their full spotlight and shine and the rest is history
Yeah, a lot of the beats on "Dogg Food" were old from the sessions that Dr. Dre was producing.
