Intro – Quick intro that could have easily just been combined with the next track, but whatever.ĭogg Pound Gangstaz – Daz combines poppin’ drums with sinister synth chords, which makes for a bangin’ opening instrumental for him and Kurupt to spit over, and Kurupt wastes no time ripping this shit to shreds, and takes a direct shot at Eazy-E and his protégés, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony in the process. Let’s just jump into this review, please. Yeah, that last sentence was a bit over the top. But for the next few weeks I vow to dig deep into the album and dissect every nook and cranny of Dogg Food hoping to share my truest thoughts and deepest feelings about this Death Row release from the long gone G-Funk era.

The Chronic and Doggystyle (and I’ll throw the Above The Rim Soundtrack in there too) laid a solid multi-platinum foundation for the legendary and notorious label, Death Row Records.
