| | Tha Dogg Pound Dogg Food CD Tha Dogg Pound Discography of CDs
 (14 Customer Reviews)
Of all the hip-hop albums to make one's debut on, Tha Dogg Pound were lucky enough to make a name for themselves on Snoop Doggy Dogg's multi-platinum DOGGYSTYLE. Their raw, uncut lyrics and pimp-gangsta attitude created a high demand for the group, and backed by Death Row Records, it was only a matter of time before Kurupt and Dat Nigga Daz came forward with their own CHRONIC-type bomb. Thus, DOGG FOOD.
The album's obvious distinction from the rest of the Death Row family of releases is that the Dr. is not in the studio. Still, DOGG FOOD is full of top-notch West Coast funk, with Daz behind the board establishing himself as the next Dre. And contributing the hardest of hardcore lyrics on "Do What I Feel," the two rappers show that they don't need to let the beats carry them; they even invite the Lady Of Rage to rip the mic right along with them. "Cyco-Lic-No" is among the strongest of the fast-paced tunes, and the inventive rhymes courtesy of Mr. Malik make you wish he was a permanent member of the group. With songs like "Smooth" and "A Doggz Day Afternoon" that exercise their laid-back groove and are enhanced by an appearance from Snoop himself, Tha Dogg Pound further secure their first class status in the overcrowded G-funk ranks.

Entertainment Weekly (11/17/95, p.79) - "...a dictionary entry for `Long Beach rap.'....anchored by familiar, rib-shuddering Jeep beats and eerily dazed synths, buckshot rapping spices up the album's predominantly loping gait, and soulful R&B swing, touches of dancehall, and old-school vocals look beyond So-Cal..." - Rating: A
Q (2/96, p.65) - Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995.
Q (1/96, p.124) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...mongrels with a pedigree sound. Mongrels because they are gloriously hybrid, pedigree because the different strains combine so well..."
Musician (2/96, p.94) - "...phat, bass-driven rhythm tracks that evoke classic P-Funk without actively imitating it..."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Breakthrough Of Its Era
A standard for all too come. Dogg Food is a real, rough soundind edge of not only hip hop but west coast gangsta rap. Daz & Kurupt at their best. Lyrically unfadeable my any means. This album delivers the standard on great versatile lyrics. Many rappers today resemble the old Dogg Pound. One of the very few realest rap groups left with actual talent deliver a unique style of gangsta rap. Dogg Food is the seminal to all gangsta heard now.

Purchase Dogg Food CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dr Dre Dr. Dre 2001 CD (1999)
Dogg Food
 $10.79    
"Guilty Conscience" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By Duo Or Group.
"Forgot About Dre" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. DR. DRE 2001 was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "The Next Episode" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
With 2001, Dr. Dre has managed to do the seemingly impossible: resurface yet again after a five-year disappearance from the rap game, and shatter all expectations. The first two tracks lull the listener into thinking this is going to be a mellow, G-funk outing, but when the piano loop and beat commence in "Still D.R.E.," it's obvious Dre is still light years ahead of the rest. The seemingly disparate styles of guest artists MC Ren, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem are all unified by Dre's singular musical vision.
What makes this record stand out from any other gangsta rap recording before ...
| | Warren G Regulate...G Funk Era CD (1994)
Dogg Food
$11.89
"This D.J." was nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. "Regulate" was nominated for a 1995 Grammy for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
As rap stylings infiltrate pop music, genres dissolve and even traditional R&B becomes funked out with a gangsta twist. Dr. Dre's brother Warren G represents a new generation of jacked-up R&B. On REGULATE...G FUNK ERA, hard core street rhymes and scratch DJs vie for center stage with sing-songy hip hop (right on the borderline of pop balladry), colored with an airy West Coast mix of keyboards and bass.
Portraying their grim view of street life with aloof bravado, Warren G and Nate Dogg announce a new brand of stylin' with "This Is The Shack," a pleading reggae-scented groove, and "Regulate," in which a sweet R&B style of accompaniment confronts the gangstas on the dance floor.
While raunchy skits such as "Gangsta Sermon" ...
| | Kuruption! CDs (1998)
Dogg Food
$11.99 
With an innovative idea, (a double disc with divided between West and East coasts), Kurupt packs some impressive jams onto his Antra/A&M solo debut, KURUPTION. Giving each coast at least 10 tracks to flip over, Kurupt enlists a super team of producers to help him complete his mission. His Dogg Pound partner Daz, L.A. beat-maker Battlecat, Bay area producer Studiotone, funk freaker Priest "Soopafly" Brooks, D-Moet and newcomer Storm from the Wu-Tang Clan serve up thick slices ...
| | Tupac All Eyez On Me CDs (1996) Remastered; Enhanced CD
Dogg Food
$20.05
This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files including the video for "California Love."
ALL EYEZ ON ME was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "California Love," featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman, and "How Do U Want It," featuring KC and JoJo, were both nominated for the 1997 Grammy for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
The first double-CD of original material by a rap artist, ALL EYEZ ON ME marks 2Pac's return from incarceration to the recording grind. And though Tupac Shakur may have spent the better part of 1995 locked up and battling the system, the album makes it obvious that, rather than degenerating his artistic abilities, the struggles have only elevated his skills. Now, with the backing of West Coast hip-hop's first family, Death Row Records, 2Pac gathers together many of the rap ...
