Next week's EAOTW will be GZA - Liquid Swords How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't.ĭON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE!!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.Īlso my bad for delaying this so long, school has kicked my ass and I just had to deal with that first It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!! This is your chance to practice being a critic. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Produced entirely by Daz, the music here is just what you would expect/hope for, a collection of watery synths, ferociously funky bass, and snapping beats, perfectly suiting the tag-team rhymes - a non-stop exercise in Cali gangsta-ism, overflowing with casually violent threats, XXX-rated sex rhymes, and Crip pride. Though not as huge as its predecessors, Dogg Food still debuted at #1, and went multi-platinum, thanks to the Snoop-assisted single and West Coast/East Coast beef instigator 'New York, New York' as well as the ultra-smooth bedroom jam 'Let's Play House' featuring Michel'le and Nate Dogg. After co-starring on both of those albums, Tha Dogg Pound - Daz and Kurupt - were more than ready to go for theirs, and had already developed the fanbase needed for instant success. Dre's keyboard grooves wafted out of cars from Long Beach to Maine. The back-to-back releases of The Chronic and Doggystyle had transformed America's youth into an army of blunt smoking, gin-and-juice sipping G funk fanatics, and the intoxicating sounds of Dr. In 1995, Death Row Records was on a crazy roll. Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread!Įvery Wednesday we will discuss an album from our Essential Albums listīackground/Description (courtesy of iTunes)
