Tha Dogg Pound - Westside Rydin'
Artist: Tha Dogg Pound
Producer: FredWreck
Album: That Was Then, This Is Now
Label: DPG Recordz
Gangsta rap devotees rejoice! Kurupt and Daz Dillinger of The Dogg Pound are back in the Booth with a brand new single off their long-awaited eighth studio album. Westside Rydin’ finds the Cali icons doing just as the title says: rolling along the city streets with some fine b*tches
ladies, enjoying some high-quality kush and annihilating the sucker emcees along the way. FredWreck’s‘s classic Left Coast blend of ominous piano chords, woozy string riffs and funky guitar accents set the stage for characteristically hard-nosed verses from the rap vets. As usual Kurupt’s winding rhymes and Dillinger’s gruffer bars (punctuated with “brrrap!” sound effects) go together like gin and juice, and the end product will likely get the thumbs-up from longtime fans and neophytes alike. Those who like what they’re hearing should remember to ride down to their local record stores in November, when Tha Dogg Pound’s That Was Then, This Is Now LP drops via Fontana and Dillinger’s own D.P.G. Recordz.

Definitely nothing wrong here, but on the real it just didn't grab me. We've hear better from Tha Dogg Pound.

Well, the production is what stands out for me, it's a nasty! mess of synthesizers, piano keys and electric guitar.
But I agree typical routine/content we are used to hearing from DPG nothing special about their rhymes. Rotation fa sho! |

There's nothing wrong with this, but my attention has not been grabbed.(Might be from exhaustion so I'll give this a listen later.)

I'm a huge fan of DPG so I'm going to rate this high but I wish Warren G would produce some more G funk beats...which is where these guys really shine. 3.5 but rounding up

Too much profanity but the track is hot besides that. I like that West Coast feel.
