^^^He's on So So Def, he probably gotta watch what he say more than the more underground artists. And it's still Daz, TSS is coming up in a big way baby! haha
"not too talkative of a dude..."
Some people just respond more to certain questions. If you notice, that did happen during the course of the interview a few times.
One thing though... the distribution response, Daz got that straight from the mind of JT (The Bigga Figga). A lot of L.A. folks were coming from L.A. to the Bay to learn our independent game - I actually helped a lot of them out. After they left Death Row, most of those artists were hurting. No one wanted to step up and sign them (even with all of the talent they had) because of Suge. So they came up and learned how to eat on their own. None of them were thinking that way before those trips - they thought signing to a major was the only way.
And O.COM is right, that "All I Need" is straight fire. I think JD's dropping the ball - that shoul've been on the radio in all regions, with the album dropping. That joint is dope. A hit for sure if they push it right.

Real gangsta's don't have to constantly talk about their gangsta-osity to convince others and reaffirm to themselves of their contrived societal status. Fuck Daz.
Honestly big propz on getting someone the caliber of Daz on this site, but as someone from the westcoast you couldn't have picked someone I from the west that I'm less interested in. Daz way over promotes himself when in actuality Supafly pretty much carried Daz through all of his major productions. Fly actually performed the songs on the necessary instruments. Secondly he talks like So So Gangsta is gonna blow but Cali IZ Active hasn't done shit and it had Snoop's backing. How about putting in the effort to gain some popularity for the DPG album before you throw it in the trash and start focusing on your own shit? I know So So Gangsta has been in the works for at least 2-3 years but you don't just forget about a project as soon as it hits stores. Daz is not innovative, Daz does not give propz to others when propz are due, and dude won't be succesfull.
I know I sound tremendously like a hater but I've followed dude through all his drama with Tha Row, Kurupt, Crooked I, Snoop, etc... and the shit gets tiring because someone so medicore can cause so much negativity.

this joox is a funny guy. i'm starting to enjoy your comments sir lol.
As far as those anon. comments go, divisions have marked the West's time in hip-hop, whether it be regional, factional b/c of gangbanging, petty squabbles, etc...those divisions have pretty much led to the "me against the world" attitude that's so prevelant. I'd almost be willing to say it goes all the way back to the NWA days and maybe even further.
Whether you agree w/Daz's statements or not, a few things have to be recognized - his longevity, his fortitude and his accomplishments.

Cali Iz Active hasn’t done all that well because it’s an indie release (Through KOCH). KOCH = greater return + free reign - a large budget. The numbers it’s doing may not be great for the names attached, but it’s selling well for an independent release with no major label distribution (or budget)/
Let me let you in on something. Snoop is a frugal dude, i.e., not exactly cheap... but he knows that you have to spend less with your budget, in order to make a profit - I know this firsthand. Snoop is the one, who is in a real position of power out of his entire clique’s (Dogg Pound, LBC Crew, 213, Tha Eastsidaz). He has bargaining power beyond rap - others may think that they have that power, but they are sadly mistaken (and learn this the hard way when they break off on their own).
These side projects that he does are out of love for his crew. Don’t get it twisted, he makes a nice profit from them (which constantly keeps money in his pocket with minimal effort), but it’s honestly not his main focus. He gets the most affordable producers, beatmakers for these side projects (Battlecat, Fred Wreck, Supafly, Meech Wells - producers who are known for a "West Coast" sound but who aren’t sought after by the general artists/groups from other regions for their production), and spends whatever he needs to on his own projects (The Neptunes and Timbaland aren’t cheap). Why? Because he can. In the grand scheme of things everyone that is ex-Death Row needs Snoop. Snoop doesn’t need them. So with his name he contributes, makes his money, and keeps it moving.
I hope Daz doesn’t read this and start beefing with Snoop again, but hey, it’s the truth.

Hmm...Damocracy coming thru w/the usual knowledge drop. We'll have to build one day.
I think it's pretty obvious, to most, the business logic behind projects like cali is active and the numerous collabos and cameos that we see - money and promotional tools. That doesn't take anything away from the album itself, but as hip-hop becomes more of a business machine, esp. now, established artists are learning how to manipulate things to their benefit.
And for alot of fans, that's not a bad thing. Who didn't want to see the orig. DPC back together, no they're not bickering, and we at least get a few standout tracks if not more?

Daz non uomo fatto
Rappers non uomini fatti

DAz made "I ain't mad at cha"...shut the fuck up. He's an extraordinary west coast producer. check the credits. the list is long, with some gaps. knowledge that.
He's right that all the hot tracks on "All Eyez on Me" were his. There were about 5-6 good songs on there and they are all Daz. Check the credits.

What none of you get is that Daz "produced" those tracks, probably did all the mixing had some ideas etc... but Supafly did way past the majority of the work on the actual boards not Daz. As someone who has fucked around with producing, having ideas and making them come to life are two way differant things and Daz was not able to make his ideas into songs so he had Supafly come in. That tarnishes his rep a lot to me.

Enh...I was watchin that Puffy shit the other day...Storch came and on the end of the show & approved the beat. He'll prolly get credited for it.
That's how shit works.
But true dudes shine thru w/their work...just like Daz and Storch came out from under Dre, Jay Dee branched out from the Ummah, etc...talent shines thru.
Daz shined. Supafly didn't.

Not to catch feelings but if you name drop Fredwreck as a historical West Coast Rap producer, you better drop it after DJ Pooh's
