RC: This CD is a collector's item. It was only released on George's Detroit-area One Nation label, and so received very limited distribution. It mostly contains remixes of "Dope Dog", a song he started doing a cappella in concert in the late 80's. Several of the versions are excellent.
The "Slow P" mix is a mid-tempo number, with piano the most prominent intstrument. This is the version found on the Japanese version of Dope Dogs. The "Hyper P" mix is the best on the album, and this version can be heard on the European edition of Dope Dogs. It features a funky synth driving the track forward, and the 'Whatcha gonna do, George?' chorus. "Kibbles & Bits" is similar to the Japanese track, except that only Patavian Lewis can be heard here, doing chants. "G-Man Dawg" is a hip-hop version, with somewhat different lyrics and horn loops. The "Jazz Stash Mix" is a slow version, very mellow. There are some lyrical differences here as well. "Gumbo" is a bunch of samples patched together from assorted songs, including a lot of beats and bass sounds as well as some chants and lyrical hooks. "Jazz Residue" concentrates on beats and piano; it's the base track for other versions. "Fast Dope" got turned into "Pack Of Wild Dogs" on the Japanese album, it's the "Whatcha gonna do" chant and those deep synth sounds. "Hoe's Prairie Dog" is rapped by Louie Kababbie, and it samples "The Freeze". It puns on Little House On The Prairie, and it's a typical hoe song. "Hoe's Inst Fade" and "Sampsssss" have assorted samples used in the songs, with brief stops inbetween for easier sampling. | |
