This review is from: Gangsta Crunk (Audio CD)

Daz Dillinger has always been one of my ten favorite rappers. He has a unique style and flow and incredible production skillz. Even though his last album, Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP, was not up to the standards of a usual Daz Dillinger release it was still aight even if sounding uninspired. It had a couple songs on there that you could bump with. But now Daz has found new inspiration. Where did he find it? Right here in the city of Atlanta as he hooked up with So So Def Records and Jermaine Dupri. I had been hearing Daz featured on various mixtapes and absolutely fitting right in with the southern rappers most notably T.I.'s Urban Legend, but had no idea he was working on an album. I had also seen him cameo in a couple southern videos.

Gangsta Crunk, an appropriately titled album, because Daz takes the flavor of down south crunk music and meshes it with his unique brand of gangsta music to create a new sound. He reinvents himself with this release. And for veterans of the rap game to stay relevant, that's what they must do to stay with these young thundercats out here. Daz Dillinger definitely succeeds with this release. There are no overly crunk songs in the way of Lil John' Throw It Up or chilled out crunk songs in the way of say Young Jeezy's Trap Or Die. Most of these songs are a good medium between those two extremes. Gangsta Crunk. Daz Dillinger raps with a lot of energy and passion on the record too dropping his best lyrical performance since This Is The Life I Lead. The beats are excellent as well as the flows and the few guests get the job done. My favorite songs on this release are We Gon Sho U, We Mean Bizniss, Tow Up From Tha Flo Up, I'm Lookin 4 Dat Gangsta B, Run Up & Get Done Up, and A License To Kill; but the whole album is rockin.

Daz Dillinger manages to do it again with this release. Even though it won't get a lot of recognition because it was released independently on his Gangsta Advisory label, it's still a great release for the year 2005. Fans of Daz Dillinger and of southern music should definitely check this one out. One of the best of the year. 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars 7th solo may be my least favorite of his, June 17, 2005

For Daz Dilly's 7th solo (not to mention 4 Dogg Pound Albums, 2 collabo albums w/ JT The Bigga Figga, 1 collabo w/ 2Pac, and 3 or 4 compilations that I have of his) it is my 2nd least favorite of all those. It has 10 songs, came out just 4 months after his "Dogg Pound Gangsta LP" and is definitely a southern crunk feeling album. His production I wasn't feeling as much as with most of his work (he did 9 of the 10 songs, Darryll James did the other). The lyrics are typical Daz that we love, gangsta tales, or dirty songs. It has 3 good songs, 4 ok ones, and 3 I skip. Guests are on 3 of the songs and 2 are people I never heard of. If you're a huge fan of his I'd get it but oterwise download the few good ones. I guess him moving to ATL had him think he should switch to southern crunk style rap but I'm not feeling it as much as his west coast stuff.

#2 - 8.5

#4 - 7.5

#6 - 8.5 (has a vintage Daz hook that he does so well)

#7 - 7

#8 - 8 (dirty song)

#9 - 4 (about big @$$e$)

#10 - 5 (f/ Mz Maya)

#11 - 6 (F/ Bigg Baby)

#12 - 7.5 (f/ Yo Gotti)

#13 - 7.5

4.0 out of 5 stars Still stompin, October 19, 2005

Diggy Daz comin through for us again. Maybe I'm biased here cuz I am a huge Daz fan, and I love everything he does, but I just wanted to write this in case you were hesitating before pickin up this CD, I know I was, don't trip- this is worth it. Slammin the whole way through... I guess he called this one "Crunk" cuz it makes you want to stomp Southern style the whole way through and he repeats his verses and stuff like all those South cats do.. but I loved it, get yerself some Hennessy like I did and slide this one into your CD player and enjoy.
