DPG

Since 1992, Daz and Kurupt have been regaling fans with their charismatic gangster verbals. Despite co-starring on two of the most hugely successful albums in the history of rap music, and dropping their own near-classic with Dogg Food in 1995, Death Row jerked them financially, leading both to jump ship for other labels in the years that followed. 2001's Dillinger & Young Gotti is arguably the best project they've released in the post-Suge Knight era. Don't be fooled by the janky looking cover art, if you're a DPG fan from day one, this is just what the doctor ordered. The tracks are classic G-style, loaded with deep bass, freaky synth squiggles, and seriously knocking drums. Lyrically they stick to the script, expounding on the usual topics of thugging it up ("We Livin Gangsta Like"), getting as high as the stratosphere ("We About To Get Fucced Up"), and of course putting ladies in their place ("You're Just A B*tch"). There are also a few surprisingly positive tunes in the mix, but for the most part, it's all ignorant and all good.
