Hardcore rap fans didn’t need to be convinced. I like a lot of people around when I’m working. “Late nights, phone calls, bitches, all kinds of shit. “There was all kinds of shit going on,” Daz says. Dre, who produced Doggystyle, served as co-executive producer of Dogg Food, along with Death Row CEO Suge Knight.Īlthough the album was originally scheduled to bow in July 1995, it wasn’t released until Halloween day, as the duo made sure to enjoy the sessions held at Can Am studios and Dr. “We’re all different individuals, so we all have our own perspective.” Dr.
“It’s all different coming from different areas,” Daz says. Dre’s The Chronic and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle, Daz says each album is unique. While Tha Dogg Pound was bound to have similarities to Dr. We were just trying to get our album done.”
“It was just a campaign thing,” says Daz. In fact, in the midst of the hoopla, the duo continued working tirelessly on the album, almost oblivious to the controversy. While the anti-gangsta rap political forces were celebrating a victory, Tha Dogg Pound wasn’t going to go away. The pressure was so great that Warner Music Group chairman Michael Fuchs opted to sever ties with Interscope, leaving Death Row free to pact with the independent Priority label for distribution of Dogg Food. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Tha Dogg Pound. DeLores Tucker, chair of the National Political Congress of Black Women, also applied pressure on Time Warner to divest itself of Interscope Records, the label that distributed Death Row Records, home to Dr. Other influential leaders, including former Secretary of Education and federal drug czar William J. Senate majority leader and presidential candidate Bob Dole publicly attacked Time Warner for selling what he called “violent and sexually degrading” rap music. With such an impressive list of credits and connections - Daz is Snoop Doggy Dogg’s cousin - anticipation for Tha Dogg Pound’s album was already high when a political firestorm in May 1995 brought things to the boiling point. Dre’s The Chronic, Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle, and the Murder Was the Case soundtrack. The duo, consisting of Delmar “Dat Nigga Daz” Arnaud and Ricardo “Kurupt the Kingpin” Brown, appeared on such hit albums as Dr.
Months before the release of Dogg Food, Tha Dogg Pound was no stranger to controversy and the top of the charts.
