| | Tha Dogg Pound Dogg Chit CD Tha Dogg Pound Discography of CDs
A year after reforming to smash the rap world with CALI IZ ACTIVE, Tha Dogg Pound comes with a harder sound on DOGG CHIT. Snoop is less present (he rhymes on two joints) and so is the crossover appeal of CALI IZ ACTIVE. Instead, listeners get a heavy dose of that good old L.A. gangsta funk, with seething synthesizers and chilling piano lines offset by thumping bass beats courtesy of Daz, who handled the majority of the album's production. The Game, Too $hort, and Bad Azz make guest appearances.
After taking a four-year break before their last album, 2006's Cali Iz Active, Tha Dogg Pound are making up for lost time by not even letting a year pass before releasing Dogg Chit. One can wonder if it had anything to do with Active's low sales, since nobody seemed to want Tha Pound lifted out of the ghetto and onto the charts. If the artwork's reference to their debut didn't clue you in, Dogg Chit is a return to the bleak and brutal world they explored back in 1995. It's all convincing, going against any thought the return to form is contrived and forced, and beats are so G-funk it's only when the Game shows up that the album feels post-2000. Paternity tests come under fire on the amusing "Dat Ain't My Baby," and "Vibe" forgets about carrying heat for a change, but the rest of the album is pure thugging and won't recruit any new fans. Course, when they partied it up less than a year before, nobody noticed, so this traditional, almost entirely Daz-produced effort is no big surprise. That it's so good after such little time passed is a surprise, and entirely welcome one. [Dogg Chit was also made available in a clean version, with all explicit material removed.] ~ David Jeffries

Dogg Chit album
 $13.89  
These compositions are performed with the band of musicians and singers who backed him for years. The accompaniment is sparse, consisting mainly of harmonium, percussion (tablas and clapping), and a vocal chorus; the chorus often echoes Ali Khan in a kind of call and response. However, all this is only the springboard ...
| | Usher Confessions: Special Edition CD (2004) Special Edition
Dogg Chit CD music
$9.59  
Usher has been a symbol of tender sexuality ever since he shifted from teenage sensation to soulful superstar. He's breathtakingly good at what he does; possessing that undefinable essence known to a select few soul crooners (Al Green, D'Angelo, etc.) who radiate sensuality through song, Usher has reached an apex on the sultry CONFESSIONS, his fifth studio album.
After the obligatory intro, Lil Jon kicks in with his exhortations on the catchy, dance-floor-ready single "Yeah." Usher follows that up with the sublimely sweet "Throwback," a torch song with a fantastic Motown hook. On "Confessions Part II," he exposes his most vulnerable side when admitting to his lover that he's fathered a child with another woman. Exemplifying his versatility, Usher follows the standard pop ballad "Simple Things" with the guitar-riff-driven "Bad Girl," somewhere between 1970s ...

The 1997 version of EWF launches its album with a jarring, unexpected drum thwack in the first bar of the first song, suggesting that the dynamics of modern hip-hop and even modern rock have not passed by this funk institution. The band quickly drops back into its tried-and-true ...
| | Theodore Unit 718 CD (2004)
Dogg Chit album
$14.05
So Ghostface is back with a collection of outtakes from the Pretty Toney album, some tracks that have only appeared on street-level mixtapes, and a crew of rappers that'll fill up the rest of the album. This is going to be a scattershot bunch of leftovers surrounded by lesser rappers, right? Nope; 718 hangs together beautifully and the quality control ain't been this high in years. From the get-go, Ghostface is on fire and he's got that wicked and wild croon all over the opening "Guerilla Hood." He mentions that magic year -- 1986 -- on the track, and it's going to be brought up again, more than once. 718 (a NYC area code, Brooklyn mostly) does have that 1986 fire, that over-the-top excitement, but lumping it with other throwbacks and nostalgia trips ignores the so fresh, so now, so underground sound of the album. Tracks like "Smith Brothers," "It's the Unit," and "Daily Routine" are too full-bodied to be from '86, and while they're hot, the album kills when it goes raw. "The Drummer" is a scratchy and soulful stunner, "Punch In Punch Out" is a skeletal creeper that sticks with you, and Ghostface knocks it out of the ...
