Daz Dillinger - Top 10 Beats

Here at BeatGrade we decided to do our own Top Ten series of great producers. This feature is the Legendary Daz Dillinger. He has produced some of the Best beats for some of the best artists and albums of all time.
This selection of beats we chose are not only some of our favorites, but the most influential beats we feel Daz has produced. This was also not based on what were his Big successes.
Daz is a producer of hip hop and rapper, best known for duet with Kurupt , in the group called Tha Dogg Pound , and has worked with Death Row Records, and is known to have produced many hits off of Dr. Dre's the Chronic as a then unknown teen producer. He is also Snoop Dogg's cousin and considered Dre's first student.

Daz didn't produce these alone either though -- first, Death Row had the money to pay for some very good studio musicians to always hang around and help put those beats together, second, there were always many MCs and producers hanging around the studio providing input, so attributing it all to one person just doesn't make much sense. It's why it was never the same for any of the producers on Death Row after it fell apart.

[@praheightsixty8110]

To the best of my knowledge “Ain’t No Fun” was Produced by Warren G and Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat had Drum Programming by Daz while he was still learning under Dr. Dre..

[@zolelwawakeni]

Ain't No Fun was a co-production between himself and D.R.E

[@dianevrules]

@@zolelwawakeni Warren G didnt do s^%$ for Dre, besides go get him samples for The Chronic. I guess you are saying Aint No Fun was co produced by Warren G because the moog contains the same notes as This DJ???? Both songs contain the same Death Row musician (Sean Thomas). He played the same s^%% for both songs. Duh!!!!!!!!!!

[@SeraphimEnt]

It was produced by Daz and Warren G then Dre added stuff to it

[@avecentralmusicpublishing9716]

@@dianevrules Over there speakin' on it!!! Good to see people that know, tell it. Lol. That's what's up! Yeah, Dre would leave the equipment at the studio and all the kids would play on it. If people want to understand, just know that when the track was well polished , Dre usually had a hand in it. People should ask themselves something. Why is it when Dre leaves the scene everything including the production goes downhill?!? Regardless, it was a lot of talent in that camp. Peace.

[@kekeedordu8422]

@@avecentralmusicpublishing9716 THIS is an underrated comment . very true . also the top notch engieers and musicians left with dre or didnt want to be with death row anymore . thats the main reason these guys werent producing that quality anymore . only self contained musicians like soopafly , lt hutton , battlecat and quik still produce at the same level from that deathrow era

[@ketchyshubby]

Man, just hearing these beats I'm taken back to studio sessions in LA in the mid 90s. So westcoast, you can't not fuck with it. Also, BIG kuddos for starting the video right away with beat number 10 and no BS intro.

[@andrewcoleman7968]

I can't stand when producers don't get the credit they deserve. Big ups to my dude Daz, super underrated.

[@stew4k980]

The fact that Daz was no more then 21 making these bangers

Damn when you're too early that the guy with the timestamps isn't here yet

The real King of the Beats

[@MR.PERFECTPRODUCTIONS]

Let’s play house is one of the dopest beats I’ve ever heard really captures that west coast atmosphere.

[@anthonyzepeda31]

That deathrow production was a vibe... daz was considered one of Dre's first students on Deathrow, but Cold 187um was Dre's first student from the ruthless records era...

[@shawnsteed4140]

Damn, I enjoyed this so much I wish there was a part 2, Daz has so many dope ass beats it's not even funny 😏

[@ebrizzle7]

Rat Tat Tat Tat is classic classic!!! So that's why all of "these" Dre produced tracks had a different feel.

[@Adventism27]

“Ain’t No Fun” was a great ending for this video.

[@davebecquet8119]

DAZ à vraiment fait des sons en or massif , un pur régal et un réel plaisir d’écouter sa zic moi j’kiff de ouf et depuis toujours,respect à notre DAZ il est vraiment trop fort !! BIG UP DAZ , PEACE ONT T’ADORE !!!

[@cheikh7609]

Mais heureusement qu'il était accompagné de soopafly dr dre DJ poo Warren g DJ quik et d'autre

We need a "Behind the beats" with Daz. Like how the vibe was in the studio when he brought out these classic hits! 🔥

“Respect” is an absolute masterpiece 😎😉🤟

[@darrylmac209]

Dre had his hand in that one

[@JacobStayViben]

@@darrylmac209 yup. They would use Dre’s equipment when making the beats. Like on the Dogg Food album said; “Recorded at Dre’s crib”

[@mrkilo-g8794]

Dr Dre co produced and mixed that one

"Got My Mind Made Up" gotta be top 10

Daz deserves more recognition his beats kept me bouncing through some hard ass times.

[@wardatkins1320]

Gangsta party was a hit " I know he got paid for that "

[@YourMomma4321]

He's still getting paid off that. He probably made more money from all eyes on me than pac.

[@miyurr]

Always knew Daz produced these beats as a onetime producer myself..alotta people just never cared to find out..his sound is also very distinctive from DREs ..one could easily tell

[@jmayconzs]

"i don't like to dream about getting paid" is he too? this is fya

[@futboldevotion6259]

Wasn't my favorite track off of Dogg Food when it came out but now it's the one I bump the most.

His beats go hard🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PhonyGameCommunity22]

Whether so-called fans of rap like it or not,Daz Dillinger is literally a top-tier producer,period.He's number 4 on my top 10 Honorable Mentions list as of right now.

[@dianevrules]

Every time you BAMF Daz fans mention Daz's name, you are really saying Priest. Because he did all that Death Row s^%% with Daz's name on it

[@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484]

This is a weak list, I wouldn’t pick these beats over anything Timbaland , Pharrell , Primo , Premier , Stevie J , Bomb Squad , Erick Sermon, Pete Rock , JDilla ,9th Wonder, Havoc hell I can go on and on

[@SilentEdgeTv]

Shows how humble Daz is, never threw his work in anyone's face.

[@E_GIBSON]

A lot of great west coast producers who came up in the 90s and Daz has to be up there. I also really like Ant Banks and Cold 187 (Above the Law) was under rated producer too. Thx for sharing.
