 Daz Needed Some $, Album under So So Def November 10, 2008
Lee Jacobs (CALI)
I love Daz, but this album sucks. Homeboy needed some quick cash and he linked up with So So Def's, Jermaine Dupri, and the album is a joke. Other Daz albums are much much better. Don't even waste your time listening to this one. It's depressing.

sad when a good producer like daz has to take the funk out the g funk and get crunk or snap with the dirty south to sell records and jd still dropped him sorry but daz needs to make more of that uncut chit we expect from dpg this isn't a bad record though it's okay. jagged edge is out of their element here just like jd and avery storm.

This album should be relegated to diehard DPG fans only. Daz is a good artist, but here he fails to please the listener throughout. He doesn't quite fall fully on his face, but he does not impress me here so say the least. The beats are average, his lyricism is nothing spectacular, the guest appearances are weak, and the subject matter is mundane. Finding the positives in this album was like trying to strike oil in my backyard. He recycles already recycled topics like guns/gangsta themes and women. For example, "Thang on my Hip" "Rat a Tat Tat" "Strizap" "Dangerous" & "All I Need" all use the same gangsta theme. He praises gunplay on a continuous level which quickly drove me to boredom. The theme of women is used on the tracks "Weekend" "Badder than a Mutha" & "The One." Very repetitive. Two subjects dominate a 12 track album.
Additionally, hearing Jermaine Dupri on a Daz album was annoying, awkward, and strange. It's like seeing a UFO...
However, one song is a giant above the rest. The vibe on this song seems misplaced because the rest of the album simply can't compare. "Money on my Mind" is yet another great Daz & Kurupt collaboration. It's not their best, but it is very very good and at this point that's easily enough for best song honors. Other quality songs are "Strizap" & "The One." I have to admit it is ironic that the best tracks on this album all involve good guest appearances. Maybe that means Daz should discontinue making solo albums.
Overall, this album is a flat soda, you'll drink it, but only because you're dying of thirst.
(3.5 Stars) Daz Still Manages To Deliver October 23, 2006

Dat N!gg@ Daz is who he is and staying in the game has been his focus for years. Starting off early on countless Death Row projects and even dabbling behind the boards is how he got into the business. But it wasn't until the monstrous Dogg Food album by Tha Dogg Pound that he got worldwide attention. Not one to settle on just the group thing with Kurupt, Daz broke out on his own with Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back. But when that album went nowhere, so did his career. After multiple independent albums and a reunion with Kurupt and Snoop for the recent Cali Iz Active album, Daz tries his hand again at the solo thang with So So Gangsta.
Now even though Jermaine Dupri is at the helm of this project, So So Gangsta reps the West through and through. "DPG Fo' Life" features the vocal stylings of Soopafly and Snoop, while Kurupt makes an appearance on the thumpin' "Money On My Mind." Cube even shows up for the West Coast throwback feel of "Strizap." An instant club cut is "Weekend" with fellow So So Def artist Johnta Austin. But most fans remember the hard side of Daz, and that side of him pops up on the malicious "Rat A Tat Tat" and "Dangerous" featuring The Kid Slim.
Unfortunately, there are some potholes along the way that bring the album down. The Rick Ross supported "On Some Real" sound like they really were on something considering how wack the final product turned out. "The One" featuring Jagged Edge is insignificant and unnecessary. Daz doesn't sound like he even tried on the song "All I Need," "Dat's Dat N!gg@" isn't well-produced, and "Badder Than A Mutha" featuring Avery Storm is a futile attempt at a radio-friendly joint.
With half of the songs being stellar and the other half a complete waste of space, So So Gangsta doesn't have the appeal it will need to get record-breaking sales from long-time fans. But at least Daz gives us a decent enough album to help with the resurrection of the West Coast. Next Up will be The Game's sophomore effort entitled The Doctor's Advocate! Until then, Cali Iz Active and So So Gangsta will have to do.
Daz - So So Gangsta September 16, 2006
Constant (Vancouver, BC Canada)
Daz Dillinger's (AKA Delmar Arnaud) eighth solo album is "So So Gangsta" (2006). Having copped and enjoyed his last album "Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP" last year, I have been looking forward to this one. At twelve track's Daz So So Def debut album is a short release, which has guest appearances from Rick Ross, Johnta Austin, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Soopafly, Avery Storm, Ice Cube, Kid Slim and Jagged Edge. "Thang On My Hip" gets the album started, after a minute + of talk Daz delivers some raw thugged out rhymes and a on point chorus. Daz does a forgettable West South type collabo with Rick Ross "On Some Real", which is followed up by the lengthy "Rat a Tat Tat". "Weekend" is a hurting track where Daz talks to the ladies, backed by an occasional word from Jermaine Dupri and a chorus from Johnta Austin. Daz, Kurupt, Snoop and Soopafly rep "DPG Fo Life". Daz talks about a lady who's "Badder Then A Mutha" backed by some crooning from Avery Storm. Daz and partner in rhyme Kurupt tag team "Money On My Mind" providing a laidback standout cut. "Strizap" & "Dangerous" has Daz providing semi-decent thugged out collabs with Ice Cube and Kid Slim. Another standout is "All I Need", Daz rhymes over some distinct production lacing the cut with a catchy chorus. "The One" is a relationship cut where Daz and Jagged Edge talk about a woman who was there for the ups and downs. Daz closes off the album with a grimy cut repping his set on "Dat's Dat *****". Daz "So So Gangsta" is a decent release, which has high's (some standout track's, good production) and lows (some below par material on a short release).
