Tha Dogg Pound - nikkaz Don't Give A fukk Appreciation Thread

[Surreal]

You youngins don't really know how dope Kurupt was

 

[Rekkapryde]

It's a Top 10 Dogg Pound track to me

Yup. Hands down.

I bought the Poetic Justice soundtrack just for that track. Underrated soundtrack too.

His razor sharp lyrics and flow was unstoppable, I don't remember him coming weak on any major release.

No doubt. He had some of the best verses on each release, too.

I still keep Dogg Food on rotation, got the original cd and case from when it dropped in stores. I listen to it and wonder what happened to Daz and Kurupt...... classic duo.

I wish Kurupt dropped an album himself during that era.

Just found the Kurupt interview @1-8-7-Skillz

Kurupt: Snoopy wrote the majority of everything. That’s how Daz got in the game. Snoop wrote his verse, and after that, Doggystyle was coming, and John Singleton wanted Snoop. Suge was brilliant with his tactics of creating the artists and selling these records with Jimmy [Iovine] and Dr. Dre. Suge was like, “Well, we got Snoop’s album dropping, so he can’t be on nothing but his first single, “What’s My Name.” We can give you Snoop on the chorus. They gave him the record, “nikkas Don’t Give a fukk,” Snoop’s record. He was like, “We got this new group called Tha Dogg Pound. We’ll give you ‘nikkas Don’t Give a fukk’ with Tha Dogg Pound on there and Snoop on the chorus.” John was like, “Anything with Snoop on there is good.” We utilized the Dogg to get me and Daz in the game.

So I did Snoopy’s first verse, Daz did Snoopy’s second verse, and then me and Daz wrote our own third verse together. We were in the game and had our first record as Tha Dogg Pound. “nikkas Don’t Give a fukk” was a Snoop Dogg record. We used to do it like that. When we worked on albums back then, everybody gave their best material to that one project. “For All My nikkas & bytches” was for Tha Dogg Pound, but it was Snoop’s album time. Me and Daz were working on records for our own thing, and when it’s Snoop’s turn to drop this album, we just get records. We were like, “This is for our shyt. Let’s get this to Dogg.” That’s why Dogg wasn’t rapping on it. It was all me and Daz…another opportunity. When we made records, sometimes a nikka would do the chorus on his own album. One of the other artists would be the main person presented on there, breaking the album to present what’s next.

Just realized a nother example of a dogg pound song with Snoop as the writer behind it. But I think this is somehow more well known, the song "I Don't like to dream about gettin paid" was originally a 213/Snoop & Nate Dogg song. They basically remade the song on here, Daz spits the lyrics snoop did originally & Kurupt did another verse himself. Daz isnt credited as a writer on the song also.
