From the archives of the DMV Channel on NO
GOOD TV comes the return of one of the most
legendary gangsta-rap groups in history --
Tha Dogg Pound! Only this time around, West
Coast legends Kurupt and Daz Dillinger have
company -- Bigg Snoop Dogg himself!
This album features Snoop as an official
member and executive producer of Tha Dogg
Pound, providing that classic g-funk flow we
all know and love. Combined with Daz's
incredible flow and Kurupt's thoroughbred
lyricism, this album is a guaranteed banger!
In the booth, the Dogg Pound brought out all
their A-List clientele for the album,
including appearances by Diddy, Ice Cube,
Paul Wall, David Banner, Nate Dogg and more.
Supplying the beats are super-producers
Battlecat, Jazze Pha and Swizz Beatz among
other noted hitmakers. The album also
includes the bangers "Sittin' On 23z" and the
title track "Cali Iz Active".
In the beginning, Daz and Kurupt were two of
several artists on the Death Row roster. Both
made minor contributions to Dre's The Chronic
before making substantially larger
contributions to Snoop's Doggystyle. In
fact, their omnipresence on Snoop's album
spawned the opportunity to capitalize on that
album's success; it was no surprise then when
Death Row tagged Daz and Kurupt as Snoop
protégés, tagging them tha Dogg Pound for
promotional reasons. Granted, Snoop played a
large role in tha Dogg Pound, as did Nate
Dogg, but with the release of Dogg Food, it
was undeniably clear that Daz and Kurupt
needed no mentoring.
Either way, it wasn't long before Daz and
Kurupt embarked on full-fledged solo careers.
Kurupt had success with Tha Streetz Iz a
Mutha while Daz released R.A.W. Yet with
Dre's return in 2000 and the steady West
Coast rap renaissance that began as a result,
Death Row dug through their vaults — as
they had done for similar Snoop and 2Pac
releases — assembling what would eventually
surface as tha Dogg Pound's 2002. The album
featured appearances by the likes of 2Pac,
Xzibit, Nate Dogg, a remix of Jay-Z's "Change
the Game" featuring the Roc-A-Fella clique,
and a Dr. Dre-produced lead single, "Just
Doggin."
