    Thug Pop

    Thug Pop is IMO, the standout DLR track from Diamond Dave.
    However, I still have mixed feelings for this song.
    It starts off with a classic riff, and continues through the second verse and chorus flawlessly, then after a couple minutes... the song takes a bizarre turn... and mellows out... and loses it momentum... and it seems like the song never catches fire again.

    Needless to say, I still think it's one the best songs on the album.... alongside SOUL KITCHEN and SHOO BOP.

          Thug Pop stood out from all the others on Diamond Dave by a mile, agreed. Kind of meanders at the end, sure, but can't say I was that thrilled with the covers on that album, either.

          Terms of Dave solo, stuff in the Eat 'Em and Smile/DLR Band mode has always buttered my bread, so easy to understand why Thug Pop was right up there for me.

              Wasn't thug pop supposedly an outtake from the 1998 DLR Band album?

                  I hate to say it, but the beatles cover was possibly the worst song DLR has done in his entire career.

                      That Album with that song on it isn't worth $1

                              It's obviously a song that didn't make it to the DLR Band album.

                              It's pretty sad that it's getting to the point where it's the highlight of the last album...

                                  First I've heard about Thug Pop being a DLR Band outtake. Would have to check the songwriting credits to be sure, but thought Dave wrote it with Brian Young, and those two didn't hook up until long after the DLR Band album was released. Unless Roth wrote it with Lowery

                                  Yep, Diamond Dave hasn't exactly been growing on me, either. 1998s the DLR Band was such a great return to form for Dave, 'specially considering his last solo studio effort prior to that was YFLM, which grew on me after a while...but it wasn't an easy first listen with that.

                                  Biggest disappointment with Diamond Dave, even beyond the amount of covers, were including things like Act One and Medicine Man, which may have seemed like a good idea in the studio after a few bonghits, but for me represented two disposable tracks. I mean, love ya' Dave, but lay off the filler next time you put out a release.

                                      I still like the DD album, you sometimes have to take things for what they are not for what they are not.

                                      As far as Thug Pop, it is not one of my favorites, and it does sound more like an outt take from a different place in time

                                                          Served hot, right from the rythm kitchen!

                                                          GREAT song, cant get enough of it!

                                                          Aww-right! Lets goto the back! Whoo!

                                                          and

                                                          "When the ressurection comes, ther'll be a two drink minimum"

                                                          Fuck yeah!

                                                          This should replace Shoo Bop on the tour
