Rapper Domino made one of my favorite songs of the 90s that I almost forgot about until Lady Lex suggested it. Thank you! Domino was dope. Still had a nice career where he could travel and do his thing, but what happened to his career after "Ghetto jam and Physical Funk"?
@@GS-by7ci I gotta keep it 100, as a GD I gotta say the red side of the tape was fire. The blue side of that first album was not fire but it was descent. The blue-sided tape should have said genuine draft, if I'm not mistaken what's Domino's first rap name..... I might be wrong 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
You’re right! His name was Genuine Draft. He has the first verse on the track “Bangin on Wax” where he opens the verse up by saying, “Genuine draft…” I thought he had the best verse for the crips and hated he didn’t appear on more tracks.
I loved Domino's first album. I had never thought of comparing his style to Snoop. His first album was a 10 out of 10. Sweet Potato Pie was one of the best songs of the decade.
If you keep yourself physically fit, eating right, drinking water, & also taking the time to hone your craft consistently while still putting YOUR life inside the music (past, present, & future) an artist can still perform at a top level.
Exactly. Ms. Patti LaBelle has been SANGIN’ her butt off since the days of the “Chitlin Circuit.” She still sounds amazing. She has protected her voice. Aretha still sounded amazing until almost the end. Snoop still would sound great on wax. Eminem still sounds good (though I prefer his art when he was younger and hungry). I could go on.
Also remember ,Domino was signed to Def Jam when Def Jam was on verge to bankruptcy. Domino came along before Warren G, who saved DEF JAM with Regulate.
I always preferred "Sweet potato pie" to "Ghetto Jam" just my opinion. I did like both though. Also give props to the track "Tales from the Hood" from the Tales from the Hood soundtrack!
Same, the beat & flow was considerably better in “Sweet Potato Pie” imo, even the video was better… The sample of the sister took that track to another level too
I love Domino. I still play his music daily. Me and my friends bought and would jam out to his albums so his music means a little more to me than the average listener.
For some reason, I always associate Domino with me firing up the Sega to play NBA Jam. It's crazy how perfectly 90s Ghetto Jams was yet the music industry at that time was scared of the overall concept.
That's CRAZY in my 40 years on living I NEVER heard of a Domino and Snoop comparison. They sound nothing alike....and Nate Dogg did not come out in the late 90's bruh...he was on the Chronic and Snoops album that you were just speaking of in 92-93 (not to mention the BIGGEST hip-hop song in 94 Regulate by Warren G and NATE DOGG).......lol TF you getting your info from? lol
I came to the comments just to see if I was tripping. I'm 41 & I remember those times well! I never heard of no such comparison. Maybe somebody like Ice Cube's boy, Kay Dee or Dru Down could've been compared to Snoop. But if anything, Domino would've been compared to Nate Dogg, who was a prominent figure in the rise of Death Row & that G-funk sound that they were known for in the early 90's, prior to whatever StuntedGrowth was referring to in the late 90's.
Yeah, there was never any comparison between Domino and Snoop as far as I recall, even with them both being West Coast artists. Not sure where that notion came from.
Nate Dogg debuted on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album back in 1992 ... and his cousin Bo-Roc who is also known as the singer from "The Dove Shack" who was featured with "The Twinz" and Warren G all came out around the same time right along with Domino during the "G Funk Era"
@@mrkilo-g8794 I forgot about that group and have very little knowledge about their music ... but it's crazy how many people contributed to Long Beach hip-hop back in the day ... much respect
I'm from DC but I lived in the LBC from 87-98 and dominoe was a true rapper and a good dude. I met him and snoops mom at the barber school.. shout out to him
1993 -1997 was extremely competitive in music .... EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE!!!! The fact that he had the hit he had and the run he had is INCREDIBLE! MOST! people will never achieve what he did!
Good story on domino but you missed a lot of key points about him 1. Domino and snoop are both for Long Beach and they for sure had different sounds 2. Domino Genuine drag and came out with battle cat on the blood and crips album but I do agree with you he was way ahead of his time
Nelly & Ja Rule benefitted greatly from the hook driven sing a long records. Domino suffered from the same thing Das EFX & Bone Thugs did, people copying their style so much, fans grew tired of the originators of the style.
Domino actually abandoned his signature style on his 2nd album. Plus Battlecat didnt produce his 2nd album or any after. Thats why Domino fell tf off. No rapper in the history of hip hop sounded like Domino. Not Bone, Nelly, Nate Dogg, or Ja Rule. They were just rapping melodically.
um Bone only started losing ground when Bizzy lost his mind with depression and drug use. His voice was so unique you couldn't just replace it or ommit him from the album and expect the fans to go crazy like they had been.
You should research the stunted growth of Dungeon Family rapper Cool Breeze who started out with Goodie Mob on " Da Dirty South and Dropped the Posse Cut Classic " Watch for the Hook"
@@PlayafromtheHimalayas That is wild because I didn't think so even back then. When we did the show it was in 1996. Snoop was out but at least for me it didn't feel like he took his light...but I am just one person lol
Domino was very melodic with his raps I'm sure he influenced some, I'm a east coast girl and he was the first man I ever heard sing a flowy type rap. I never thought about Snoop but I definitely see your stance.
If you think creating music is for people who are young, you probably will never make it as an artist. There's no age limit on making music and having a career in music. It's all about your image and how you present yourself to your audience. There's still a bunch of rappers that's well in their 40s and 50s that still create music. KRS One just dropped a new track that was hot. It's all about how you present yourself and your delivery. The music industry is afraid to indoctrinate older rappers in the mainstream because it represents growth in Hip-hop. They want to keep it a young person's game. They want people to feel like by the time your 40 years old, you've missed out and have to find another profession.
If you have a fan base that was with you when you started and yeah you’ll stay relevant but let’s be real it’s mostly for younger people for example where is Madonna, Janet Jackson? KRS1 is not as popular now as in the late 80s early 90s. There are exceptions such as snoop Jay z too short to name a few but those are rare. Rap and the music bizz is a young person sport
@@the4thtribe709 That's because you been conditioned to accept that. Truth is that hip hop never matured. Why? Because you and everyone else DEPENDS on the music industry to tell you what's popular. Even when majority of the songs is trash. You want quality music, you have to dig the internet for it.
Nate Dogg came out in the late 90s? I believe regulators by Warren G feat Nate Dogg came out in 94. One year after Ghetto jam and Nate has been featured on way more classics than dude. Do your research!
Domino was too ahead of his time. He would have benefited from being an artist 10-20 years in the future. Yo let's get that Boss episode. She was gaining buzz but when she was exposed for not actually being "gangsta" it killed her career. If it was today's age it wouldn't have mattered.
@@JayFingers We all know wtf happened to Bo$$. Word got out that she grew up in a nice neighborhood and went to private school and college. Magazines reported that she was a studio gangsta. Thats wtf ruined her career

I am from lagos nigeria and I always watched bet in nigeria in the early 90s on our local stations in 1993 my dad also travelled a lot to america and brought back tapes of bet and mtv he record on vhs for me and my brothers in the early 90sss from 1991 till the mid late 90s when he stopped travelling to america . I love domino songs till date , e.g ghetto jam , sweet potato pie
Wow look how respectful the video women looked back in the 90s...the good ole days. I was 10 years old when this song dropped so I remember this song very well.
Salute my brotha. I like the channel and the movement tht you're pushing especially with the stunted growth videos. We should definitely collab soon. Speaking of the stunted growth videos, I would definitely love if u did one on soulja slim
I grew up during this time and I don't remember anyone saying he sold out or wasn't dope. He just disappeared after this. I never heard his second album or anything else. I remember Ghetto Jam being slapped at every party back then. And I feel like Montell Jordan stole his wave a few years later too.
Love Domino's music. "Ghetto Jam" and "Sweet Potato Pie" are the shit til this day. If you are too young for this guy, think of Max B. He is the east coast version of Domino. I always wondered what happened to him and why his career didn't continue.
I see you Stunted Growth. You playing chess in this game. Well since you did your thing with this Domino episode, how about we find out what happened to Paperboy?! 🤔
Yeah, I never got the comparisons of him and snoop. I could.clearly hear two different artist listing to them. I don't even think snoop could came close rapping on thr beat to ghetto jam. The song reminds me a lot of " today was a good day" with the story telling. Also I hope one day you do " camp lo". Easily a top 5 group of all time to me in hip hop and they are still together. I think they should have been way bigger than they are
@@JSmithRecords and it's crazy how original, stylish and charismatic they were that they never got any big features. I would have loved to hear them collab with outkast, timberland , Pharrell, etc. I can't think of one major act they made a song with and they were from newyork. Their stylemwas.pretty much the epitome of that city
Nate Dogg debuted in 92 on the chronic then doggystyle and had a hit in 94 with warren g so was in the exact same era he just grew his popularity and exposure ,domino needed to surround himself with talent ,the early to mid 90s was all about crews/ collectives that helped each other’s careers.
You should do Tupac career if he hadn’t passed away and you should also do Pop Smoke as well those are two artists I would love for you to cover on your channel. I feel like both artists influentially changed hip hop with a certain style and blueprint that had many follow behind both of them in two different generations.
I felt Nelly was the one who brought melodic rap to the forefront after Domino. And the St. Lous connection is pretty telling. Nelly may have been inspired by Domino.
@@bubbaveaux I don’t know this to be true but a barber in LA told me Domino was originally from the Lou and to go back further there was a a MC/DJ named Mixmaster Spade he used melody in a similar way he supposed to be from the Lou also. Last thing we had Dr. Jockinstein he hosted the Roll Call Show. It was a call in and rhyme thing. The cadence he created for the intro could be where we got it from.
I still listen to that Domino album to this very day…I’m 42 and YES I’ve heard articles and reviews bash him back then for being similar to Snoop. I’ve always argued that comparison. Their music was nothing alike. The only similarity is there Long Beach swag. Warren G’s flow was the one that sounded Snoopish. At any rate I think what stunted his growth was lack of showing diversity. A lot of his songs sounded the same. With all that said, props to you for this gem.
The long Beach swag Exactly 💯 and I don't know why people didn't understand that like they from the same place so of course they'll be similarities. Like in Queensbridge with Nas, Mobb deep, Tragedy and the rest. Sometimes they kinda sounded the same but that because they're from the same place
Domino was actually on the first bloods and crips tapes…Cuz from LB 20s n was originally bangin on wax before Snoop came about. I thinc that’s why he took the more “melodic” route afterwards, he gained more fame n attention as an artist.
Nate Dogg was there when the Chromic dropped and whe. Snoop Dropped singing hooks '92 '93 and the popularity of Regulator with Warren G also '93.....you can't act like Nate Dogg showed up in the late 90s as an way to bolster your argument that Domino was before his time...his style fit the early 90s perfectly....he just wasn't part of Death Row which all but drowned out everybody else in SoCal.
"Nate Dogg, who came in the game in the LATE 90s a DECADE after Domino" Come on bro, you gotta those timelines right. Nate was featured on the Chronic in 92. Regulate came out in 94. Nate was in a group with Snoop and Warren G, 213 before any of them found fame.
Honestly Slick Rick layer the foundation for Snoop and Domino, and Domino inspired Bone. Also Nate Dogg came in the game with Snoop and Warren G. He was singing on the Chronic, which was before both Domino and Snoops debut.
Snoop was in a group with one of the Twinz, one of the members of Foesum, and Domino, before 213. Nate was only on Deez Nutts on The Chronic. Actually, Kokane first album came out in 1991. 2nd II None album came out in 1991. So they were the first singy rappers. Bone Faces of Death album came out before Domino's first album. Slick Rick wasnt singing.
@@dianevrules Actually Domino album came out before Bones Faces Of Death, Bone on Faces of Death cd were not melodic, and were more so boom bap. Slick Rick did sing, he did all his choruses, plus (Hey Young World). Nate was also on alot of tracks for the chronic that didn't get released. He was on 2 tracks on the chronic, Little Ghetto Boy and Deez Nutz. Kokane and Nate kinda debuted the same time, Kokane debuted on ATLs Black Mafia Life, also before Domino, Kokane, Nate and Bone. You had Jungle Brothers and Digital Underground. Alot of groups in the 80s harmonized. Including Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, Stetsasonic, Biz Markie, and countless more.
I really don't recall anyone comparing Domino to Snoop. He had his own thing and his own sound and complimented the other stuff coming out of Long Beach and him and Nate Dogg came out at the same time. Nate on Mr Grimms Indo Smoke and Domino with Ghetto Jam, both in 93.
You Forget That He Was On The Bloods And Crips "Banging On Wax" Back In 1993 As Genuine Draft. He Was All Over That Album With Songs Like "Banging On Wax", "Mackin On Slob Bitches","Crip, Crip, Crip","Another Slob Bites The Dust" And More. He Was Also Signed To Def Jam Records Through Outburst.

@@wildsidetv313 it wasn't subliminal "general dissing" was and still is a standard in Hip-Hip hop. There are so many songs of rappers generally saying someone copied their style however it wasn't directed towards a specific artist.

His career started on the bloods and Crip albums
Nate Dogg was out at the same time as Domino
Yeah, I never got the comparisons of him and snoop. I could.clearly hear two different artist listing to them. I don't even think snoop could came close rapping on thr beat to ghetto jam. The song reminds me a lot of " today was a good day" with the story telling. Also I hope one day you do " camp lo". Easily a top 5 group of all time to me in hip hop and they are still together. I think they should have been way bigger than they are
Camp lo should've been huge!!! Luchini alone should've been a huge hit
@@JSmithRecords and it's crazy how original, stylish and charismatic they were that they never got any big features. I would have loved to hear them collab with outkast, timberland , Pharrell, etc. I can't think of one major act they made a song with and they were from newyork. Their stylemwas.pretty much the epitome of that city
Nate Dogg debuted in 92 on the chronic then doggystyle and had a hit in 94 with warren g so was in the exact same era he just grew his popularity and exposure ,domino needed to surround himself with talent ,the early to mid 90s was all about crews/ collectives that helped each other’s careers.
This guy said Nate Dogg came out 10 years after domino. Nate Dogg was The Chronic Album that dropped in 1991 and was making hits throughout the 90's.
Getto Jam, Long Beach Thang and Sweet Potato Pie will forever be the Jamz fr 💯💯💯
I had his first album on a tape in 1996. Songs like "Sweet Potatoe Pie", "Ghetto Jam" and "AFD" just blew my mind!!!
The people who loved Domino from back in the day.Still love him. Just like any other artists from back in the day. He should get on an ole skool tour!
Funny thing is there are two Dominoes. The other one being a producer for The Hieroglyphics.
You should do Tupac career if he hadn’t passed away and you should also do Pop Smoke as well those are two artists I would love for you to cover on your channel. I feel like both artists influentially changed hip hop with a certain style and blueprint that had many follow behind both of them in two different generations.
Yeah but they fell off cuz they dead
He also had a song tales from the hood
Being from St. Louis I can attest that the melody thing was home grown there.
I felt Nelly was the one who brought melodic rap to the forefront after Domino. And the St. Lous connection is pretty telling. Nelly may have been inspired by Domino.
@@bubbaveaux I don’t know this to be true but a barber in LA told me Domino was originally from the Lou and to go back further there was a a MC/DJ named Mixmaster Spade he used melody in a similar way he supposed to be from the Lou also. Last thing we had Dr. Jockinstein he hosted the Roll Call Show. It was a call in and rhyme thing. The cadence he created for the intro could be where we got it from.
I still listen to that Domino album to this very day…I’m 42 and YES I’ve heard articles and reviews bash him back then for being similar to Snoop. I’ve always argued that comparison. Their music was nothing alike. The only similarity is there Long Beach swag. Warren G’s flow was the one that sounded Snoopish. At any rate I think what stunted his growth was lack of showing diversity. A lot of his songs sounded the same. With all that said, props to you for this gem.
Warren G sounded similar to Snoop because Snoop wrote and produced Warrens first album. I mean the entire thing.
The long Beach swag Exactly 💯 and I don't know why people didn't understand that like they from the same place so of course they'll be similarities. Like in Queensbridge with Nas, Mobb deep, Tragedy and the rest. Sometimes they kinda sounded the same but that because they're from the same place
Domino was actually on the first bloods and crips tapes…Cuz from LB 20s n was originally bangin on wax before Snoop came about. I thinc that’s why he took the more “melodic” route afterwards, he gained more fame n attention as an artist.
Nate Dogg was there when the Chromic dropped and whe. Snoop Dropped singing hooks '92 '93 and the popularity of Regulator with Warren G also '93.....you can't act like Nate Dogg showed up in the late 90s as an way to bolster your argument that Domino was before his time...his style fit the early 90s perfectly....he just wasn't part of Death Row which all but drowned out everybody else in SoCal.
"Nate Dogg, who came in the game in the LATE 90s a DECADE after Domino"
Come on bro, you gotta those timelines right. Nate was featured on the Chronic in 92. Regulate came out in 94. Nate was in a group with Snoop and Warren G, 213 before any of them found fame.
94' i'm in Cali & had this & Definitely BUMPED This Album!! He had 3-4 Really good Songs on that Album.
Bloods & crips. I remember him as genuine draft
Nate Dogg been rockin since THE CHRONIC which came out in 92. Probably got very popular with REGULATORS which dropped in 94.....
Honestly Slick Rick layer the foundation for Snoop and Domino, and Domino inspired Bone. Also Nate Dogg came in the game with Snoop and Warren G. He was singing on the Chronic, which was before both Domino and Snoops debut.
Snoop was in a group with one of the Twinz, one of the members of Foesum, and Domino, before 213. Nate was only on Deez Nutts on The Chronic. Actually, Kokane first album came out in 1991. 2nd II None album came out in 1991. So they were the first singy rappers. Bone Faces of Death album came out before Domino's first album. Slick Rick wasnt singing.
@@dianevrules Actually Domino album came out before Bones Faces Of Death, Bone on Faces of Death cd were not melodic, and were more so boom bap. Slick Rick did sing, he did all his choruses, plus (Hey Young World). Nate was also on alot of tracks for the chronic that didn't get released. He was on 2 tracks on the chronic, Little Ghetto Boy and Deez Nutz. Kokane and Nate kinda debuted the same time, Kokane debuted on ATLs Black Mafia Life, also before Domino, Kokane, Nate and Bone. You had Jungle Brothers and Digital Underground. Alot of groups in the 80s harmonized. Including Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, Stetsasonic, Biz Markie, and countless more.
👀👀 this was genius stunted growth
You should do Skee-Lo “I wish I was a little bit taller wish I was a baller”
I remember him more from tales from the hood more than anything. Smooth classic track.
I really don't recall anyone comparing Domino to Snoop. He had his own thing and his own sound and complimented the other stuff coming out of Long Beach and him and Nate Dogg came out at the same time. Nate on Mr Grimms Indo Smoke and Domino with Ghetto Jam, both in 93.
You Forget That He Was On The Bloods And Crips "Banging On Wax" Back In 1993 As Genuine Draft. He Was All Over That Album With Songs Like "Banging On Wax", "Mackin On Slob Bitches","Crip, Crip, Crip","Another Slob Bites The Dust" And More. He Was Also Signed To Def Jam Records Through Outburst.
This is a really good one...here we go, here we go
Can you do a Stunted Growth on Little Shawn?
Agree he shoulda been bigger. I first heard home on the bloods and crips album banging on wax
Steady Dippin Cuz
I knew Domino from Bangin On Wax but then found out about Ghetto Jam, I like Domino even if he never got popular
Am from the UK , and my uncle pass me a video cassette when I was 13 full of MTV raps vids , domino sweet potato pie was on that was a fan even since , max b carrys his flame , 🌊🌊
Great video on Domino ::: can't forget his debut appearance on 'Bangin on Wax' produced by Battlecat! (who produced Domino's first album)
T Pain before T Pain Nate Dogg before Nate Dogg
Nate Dogg was already out and was doing his thing at the same time Domino came around .....lol yahll youngins smh
@@kyvace I’m 41 bro and they where bubbling around the same time but Domino dropped his album first
@@nC_DUKE_ I'm 40....and Nate Dogg was out first. smh Nate Dogg is heard all through the 1992 Chronic album and Snoops album.
@@kyvace u don’t say Ghetto Jam dropped in 92 his full length album came out 93
@@nC_DUKE_ dude your scrambling right now. lol just stop it and accept you were wrong about Domino being before Nate, when they were out at the same damn time lol smh
said we gonna start this thang off right. Domino in the house. Salute.
That was the best music in those days! He had a story to tell unlike the youth of today.
This episode gets you a sub! Keep up the good work
Thank you so much.
His album ghetto jam was classic,salute soldier
Also Snoop dissed him on “Doggy Dogg World”.
“I hear these mfkers tryna steal my flow”
I didn't know that was a domino dis
@@wildsidetv313 it wasn't subliminal "general dissing" was and still is a standard in Hip-Hip hop. There are so many songs of rappers generally saying someone copied their style however it wasn't directed towards a specific artist.
Love Domino “THE GHETTO JAM IS ABOUT TO SLAM”
2 days ago I looked uo this track. Completely loved him. Hail from Romania, E.U. :)
Yeah Domino was the dude in 93 Sweet Potato Pie was my joint oh the Tales from the Hood song what hard too.Btw the way do my girl Trina Queen of the South or do Naughty by Nature if you can blessings bro🙏🏿
Domino was ahead of his time with the singing rap style. Before Nate Dogg. But he was very popular and received some commercial/radio success back in 93’-94’.
LOL I always thought Domino and Caine from Menace to Society was the same person 😂
😅
Nate been there since 92. I don't care about debut albums. Nate been there.
