5.0 out of 5 stars Great Solo debut, December 3, 2004

By	G$ "Z-Wad" (B-More, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back (Audio CD)

Daz Dillinger releases a great solo debut album from Death Row and released after all his homeboys left the label (the album was finished for a while before it finally got released). With great production (he handled 12 of the songs himself and Soopafly did 3) and packed with great guest appearances, mostly from his LBC homies but a few other big names in the west get on here as well (only one song doesn't have any guests and it's the worst one on here) he delivers a great 15 song album. There is not one song on here that I skip and it has 3 classic songs and a bunch of great ones on here. A must have album for all rap fans.

#1 - 10 (classic f/ Kurupt, Technice, Bad Azz, Tray Dee, Soopafly - has a 2 minute intro before the song starts - great beat)
#2 - 8.5 (f' Kurupt, KV, Prince ital joe (r.i.p.)
#3 - 9.5 (f/ B-Legit -- great beat)
#4 - 10 (f/ Too $hort - classic dirty song)
#5 - 8 (f/ Kurupt, Prince ital joe (r.i.p.))
#6 - 10 (great beat - f/ Val Young - about living in Cali)
#7 - 9 (f/ 2Pac (R.I.P.), Edi Amin, Kurupt, Kastro, Hussein Fatal)
#8 - 8.5 (f/ tray deee, j-money)
#9 - 7
#10 - 9 (f/ snoop dogg & Nate Dogg (uses same verse he uses from one of his songs on his 1998 album)
#11 - 9.5 (f/ c-style - about paying child support)
#12 - 7.5 (f/ val young - relaxing song)
#13 - 8 (f/ WC)
#14 - 9.5 (f/ bad azz & mc eiht)
#15 - 8.5 (positive song -- f/ tray deee, bad azz, soopafly)

5.0 out of 5 stars Definite favorite of mine; Daz's classic solo debut., August 17, 2002

By	Mister Hip-Hop (The Land Where Hip-Hop And Jazz Live.) - See all my reviews

Daz Dillinger, the famous producer who made his name helping out with the likes of Dr. Dre, his cousin Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Kurupt, certainly delivers the goods with Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back. The album features jazzy, lively tracks that always seem to motivate and inspire. There are guest appearances on almost every single track, but instead of outshining Daz, they seem to complement him and make the album an even better treat. It also doesn't hurt that Daz is an amazing rapper himself. I would have to say that he is the best producer out there right now. Another great thing is that he picks great guests for the album. I'm talking about Kurupt, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tupac Shakur(R.I.P.), Tha Outlawz, Val "Lady 'V'" Young, Bad Azz, Tray D, Nate Dogg, WC from Westside Connection, MC Eiht, and many, many more.

The best thing about this album is that it has a lot to say. All of it shows lots of quality, time and effort were put into this album. All the tracks are really excellent, but the best track is by far "Only For You". It is a beautiful song with a great beat and great vocals from Val Young that almost remind me of Roberta Flack. Yet the best part of the song is when Daz tells the heart warming tale of how he meets a woman who is not a trick or a tramp and he falls in love with her. Another great track is "It Might Sound Crazy", which features Too Short. It is one of the better songs I've heard this year. The beat is great and Daz Dillinger and Too Short are a memorable duo. Other highlights include the prophetic "Thank God For My Life", which features a few guests, "Our Daily Bread", a great track with a cool beat, not to mention guest appearances from Kurupt and a little speech from Prince Ital Joe, "Initiated", an amazing song that features Tupac Shakur, Tha Outlawz and Kurupt, the classic "O.G.", where Daz raps with Nate Dogg and Snoop Doggy Dogg for a catchy and laid back trip on memory lane, the original "Playa Partners", a duet with B-Legit, "In California", a tribute to the sunshine state, "Baby Mama Drama", a song about how Daz's ex-girl is filing child support to get his money and support her and her current boyfriend, and "Gang Bangin' Ass Criminal", a touchy title indeed, but is a great track where Daz joins Kurupt, Priest "Soopafly" Brooks, Tray D, Bad Azz, and Technique for a gently bouncing track that sounds sort of like Miles Davis's "Spanish Key".

To conclude my review, I would definitely recommend this album to any rap fan, especially if you like the DPGs. Daz Dillinger is a truly talented rapper and producer and he really put this album together well. Another thing that really impressed me about this album is that not a single track out of this whole album is sampled, and instead, like on all of his produced cuts, he used real live instruments like keyboards, basses, guitars, and even the occaisional acoustic piano. I have to say it's one of the best albums of the year after Kurupt's Kuruption.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do You Remember Back on Tha Eastside, July 6, 2001

By	Enlightened "Both Eyes Closed" (In Da A) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back (Audio CD)

This album from DAZ is bangin! West Coast Music at its best. The production( handled by Daz) is nearly flawless and there isnt a single song that isnt good. He is truly a talent behind the boards. He brings along some of his west coast buddies to help him out like his patna Kurupt, cousin Snoop, Nate Dogg, Tray Dee, Bad Azz, Technique, B-Legit, Too Short, 2Pac and The Outlawz, Big Pimpin, WC, and Mc Eiht. As a matter of fact all except one song has a guest appearance makin this feel like more of a compilation album of his tracks with other mcs rapping. But Daz does hold his own lyrically though. In California has sorta old school feel to it but it is still good. Initiated feat. 2Pac and the Outlawz is a good song but it couldve been better. I think a different beat wouldve made this song a hit. But hte Lyrics are on point. The best songs are playa partners, O.G., Oh No, Our Daily Bread, Initiated, The Ultimate Come Up. This album is not an instant satisfaction though. You have to listen to it more than one time and it will grow on you. and soon youll be addicted. A Great Album.
