In June of 2006, Tha Dogg Pound quietly released their comeback album Cali Is Active. Now, less than a year later, Tha Dogg Pound is back with an even stronger effort - all new music form Daz & Kurupt! Fans of the classic West Coast G-Funk sound will love this album!

great production from Daz !
I have been a DPG fan for nearly 20 years and I own every one of their albums. This release was much better than Cali iz Active. The main reason is because Daz handles 99% of the production duties. He had some help from Ivan Johnson and Soopafly, but the beats are classic. And Kurupt is never going to be the MC he once was back in the 90's, but he still delivers here. I actually like this release more than Dillinger & Young Gotti (both versions). This Dogg Chit release just propels me from start to finish. Just every song is good and Daz is in his prime here, flow and production wise. I highly recommend this album to any DPG, west coast rap, or rap fan in general. Of course, not every album is perfect, so this gets a solid four stars. Most review sites give it 3 - 3.5 stars but I think it deserves 4 because you can tell they really tried to put out a good quality release.

Surprised........
First I gotta say, Kurupt is one of the few artists who I will always support. In fact, my love for his music probably renders me blind to how mediocre it is half the time.I enjoyed Cali Iz Active, but it lacked a little. So when this came out I figured it could only be worse, but in my opinion it's better than Cali Iz Active. I know, I'm writing this 4 years after release. I'm bored and I was listening to this earlier, so I figured I should review it.1. Get Out of My Way - 4/52. I'll Bury Ya - 5/53. Everybody - 4/54. Anybody Killa (Feat. Game) - 5/55. Mo Murda - 5/56.

This Time Around, They Have Some Better Chit (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars)
After the horrible and dissapointing Cali Iz Active last summer, Tha Dogg Pound (Daz and Kurupt) hits us with their new LP Dogg Chit. The first thing that I seemed to notice is that the duo's lyrical skills aren't on point. They're still gangstas, but it seems like it's all they rhyme about, gangsta material (going to clubs, shooting people, etc.). Now thats not necessarly a bad thing, but I believe it's time to switch it up a little bit, in my opinion. Their rhymes are on point, but don't expect anyone on this album to blow you away on the lyrical side. Basically if you want to hear them rhyme like they were still on Death Row Records, you won't have to look far on this album.The production is good. At least this time around Daz is behind the board, either producing or co-producing every song. Some of his production bangs, like "Where You From" and "Can't Get Enough" really have nice beats. "Dat Ain't My Baby" does have nice production, but the chorus almost wreckz the song. At the beginning of the album, some of the fast paced beats, are starting to grow on me as I listen more.Guest appearances are good as well. "Anybody Killa" is one of those tracks that grew on me, and The Game drops a good verse (and one without saying anyones name). Too $hort drops a verse that you would normally expect from him on the song "Can't Get Enough". Bad Azz does a good job on "Where You From". Snoop Dogg appears on the bouncy tracks "Vibe" and "Pull Ya Drawz Down", something you would expect from him. The guests do a fine job on this album, something you would expect from the West Coast artists. And was that me, or did I hear Yo-Yo at the end of "Throw Ya Hood Up"?And depending on where you purchased this album, you get three bonus tracks. "Blast On 'Em" is your average shoot-em up song. But it's good because Brotha Lynch Hung drops an excellent verse. "Bucc 'Em" has a real sick beat by Daz and Ivan Johnson, and features Snoop Dogg and RBX. And "Blaze It Up" features G. Malone, Jayo Felony, B.G. Knocc Out, and Dresta. The latter two names had beef between Tha Dogg Pound back in the mid 90's, and the fact that they are on a song together along is real happy to hear.So overall, this album is dope. It's not the best album from the duo, but they have redeemed themselves from the Cali Iz Active album. Infact this is what that album should have sounded like, in my opinion. There are some flawed moments on this album, but I still like the album. If you're a fan of the West Coast, this album would be an excellent addition to your collection.Lyrics: BProduction: A-Guest Appearances: BMusical Vibes: B-Overall: BFavorite Tracks: Vibe, Can't Get Enough, Where U From, It's A Good A** Day, Pull Ya Drawz Down, Buck 'Em, Blaze It UpHonorable Mention Track: Throw Ya Hood Up, Anybody KillaPeace Everyone!!!
