Dogg Food 1995 Album

Tha Dogg Pound

There isn't a lot of brilliant material here, but it's mostly a nice smooth gangsta rap album featuring two of my favourite rappers from the west, Daz and Kurupt, who don't quite have the distinctive voices they developed as they got older, but Daz has always been a great producer and he shows some of his skills here. A borderline 4/5, with the opening track being a classic banga, but it just needed to transform 2-3 of the weak songs into better ones. Also, as other reviewers mention, the album drops off considerably in the second half, and also has a few tracks are a tad too long. 6-minute hip hop tracks are hard to pull off, and they do it fairly well with a few, but 'Reality', in particular, is one that should have been shortened. Best Tracks: Dogg Pound Gangstaz, Respect, Cyco-Lic-No
