    You might be right, I still feel like Daz and Kurupt never really lived up to the high expectations a lot of people had for them because of that album. It was so dope, I know a lot of that was because DR imploded and they split up and linked back up, but they had that magic on this album tho. They was raw and the marketing was all street.

    Co Sign. The Album was perfect from start to finish, Kurrupt had the bars, and Daz had the flow. production wise, it was ONE of the best fom start to finish, for an album that came out in the 90's . And honestly it has aged better than Chronic and ? ..

    I will rank it above All Eyez On Me but not above the others.

    ESPECIALLY ?

    I go back and listen to "Dogs day Afternoon" and the way Kurupt black the ? out on that song smh

    I bumped it like a week ago and ? almost gave me the chillz

    "Reality"and "Dog pound Gangsta's" also. You almost have to be a def man to not appreciate those. And SELASI_i I know what you mean about the rawness, it was like the Westcoast version of Mobb Deep's Infamous in that way as far as the album resonating with street cats and goons.

    I will say this tho

    Doggpound follow ups were never really able to do what Dogfood did but both Daz and Kurupt as solo artist were able to make classic songs still so they still are certifide legends.

    I think Pac coming home around the time this album dropped hurt this album's legacy, simply because Suge put all of his resources into Pac and promoting pac and didn't help extend Dogg food's run longer than it could have. They only released 2 songs as singles and they only had 2 videos. If they could have released another video or two for this album I think it would have gotten the props that it truly deserved.

    It's a classic no doubt but I can't rank it above the others mentioned especially makaveli.Dogg food theme wise was mostly gangsta,pimps, and hoes which gets stale to me very quickly..To me kurupts solo album "streetz is a ? " is better than Dogg food..It had more cups of raw hip hop lyrical content added and classic organized noize production.I remember he got the source hip hop quotable of the month for his verse on trylogy,which is sick af and rival his best bars on dogg food

    Its not better than ? , but it doea have the other albums beat. The crazy part is that the common bond between all except Makavelli is that Daz, who is one of the greatest producers ever, had a hand in all of them. Suge said that Daz really produced ? , but was given money to ghost produce it for Dr. Dre. For all the East Coast West Coast stuff, I appreciated how Kurrupt was what happened when your organicaly meshed the two regions i.e 'I Don't Like To Dream About Getting Paid'.

    Kurupt as a lyricist and Daz as a producer in 1995 was literally the perfect combo. Album is an indisputable classic from beginning to end but I can't say it's the best Death Row release. Each one was special for its own reasons.

    T/S right though...not only did they not live up to this album they didn't even come remotely close.

    I agree. ? , Chrronic, and All eyes on me overshadow Dogg food because of the iconic artist who dropped them and how they all changed and impacted hip hop at the time of their releases. But they are classics without a doubt and have been in my collection for over 20 years faithfully.
