I remember Domino being played at all the adults parties when I was younger. I always wonder what happened to him and why people always thought him and snoop sounded alike. I believe he should’ve went further because he had his own style. Great video!
SNOOP recently revealed in an interview, that Domino used to write his lyrics in Jr High. They are child hood friends. Snoop used to Freestyle and Domino wrote lyrics. Snoop tells the story, it's on RUclips !
He also said they had a group minus Snoop called Foesum I believe and one night they went to perform outside of Long Beach and got booed Snoop rode with them there got pissed grabbed the 🎤 and then battled the whole room😂 this is same night I believe he battled Kurupt, what a story

Highly underrated ive got his debut album Physical Funk The World of Dominology & Remember Me all on cd hus great just wrong timing 😢but we'll never forget Ghetto Jam Sweet Potato Pie classics
The Domino comparisons weren't to Snoop at all, but to Nate Dogg. He got overshadowed when Warren G's "Regulator" came out with Nate Dogg on the hook. They were all from Long Beach, which got labeled with the G-funk style that was popular at that time. Then groups like The Dove Shack (Summertime in the LBC) and then Montell Jordan on the tail end had a similar style to Domino and he got overshadowed. He was never in the same lane as Snoop, but definitely one of the first pioneers of the rapping/singing mixture.
People compared Domino to snoop all the time. I’ve never heard anyone compare him to Nate, but I get what you’re saying. Growing up all I heard was him being compared to snoop. Thanks for watching.
I remember domino in 1991. He was staying with my friend and her mom on orange grove and pico in Los Angeles. We would all hang out at her house, it was the spot. He was dating and older woman at the time and had a baby with her . He was so cool. He never came back to thank my friends mom for looking out for him, when he had nothing.
Domino's videos were also played on "The Box Music Television". Also Snoop Dogg's name used to be longer, Snoop Doggy Dogg. Thank you for at least doing a video on Domino & mentioning both the movie "Tales From The Hood" & Domino's song on it's soundtrack. I personaly never heard people in 94 comparing Domino to Snoop though. I think Domino's career went down the tubes, cause, he changed his style to more of Pop music, on his 2nd album in 96. This is my 1st time hearin' of your videos. Peace & much respect!
It had to be the promotion cuz whatever that boy touched was dope. To this day if I'm chillin w a feline them first 2 album is on rotation to set that mood right.
I remember when domino would ask me about his lyrics to ghetto jam and sweet potato pie I told him those two were the best to work with at the point and time havnt seen him sense.
I love your contacts the similarities I don’t see how anybody could ever mix of domino he was hard he was ridiculous and the boys so nice at his stylings of music. You can pop in today and still bang it hard in your system.🎶🎵🎼 and you speaking on Chloe Bailey. This girl is the business. I love her. I love her style. She was original doing it and she’s not like Beyoncé at all. Beyoncé is a clone of a clone of a clone. She’s nothing like she was when she was with the group, Destiny’s Child but Miss Bailey is dope if you guys have not listened to her try to give her some love and check her out. She’s hard to see you while you’re at it go bump some of that domino, especially the tales from the Hood.
Crazy Always heard BattleCats Name but Dude Kinda kept his Face out of the Public. Not like a "Puffy" or Even Suge. "You wanna come 2a Label where the producer ain't all in the Videos" 🤪
Domino was everywhere in West Africa, Nigeria back then, blowing up. Unfortunately, they wouldn't show up because of the false perception of Africa being propagated by American TV, thanks to today's internet.
It's not a false perception and you're delusional to think we are clueless enough to trust Africans in Nigeria..... Africans are taught to never align themselves with Black Americans....
Last time I saw this dude he was at my ppls house on Vermont and 88th st at a family get together back in like 07-08 I wish I could post the pic I took with him on here
That’s a bunch of BS because if anything Domino was more compared to Nate Dogg and I honestly think that’s why he didn’t get as much as attention as he deserved because he was definitely doing it first. I don’t know where people got the notion that him and snoop were similar because I grew up in Cali, and I never nor anyone else that I know have ever said that him and snoop sound similar. I honestly think it was used as an excuse not to market him a certain type of way. I think snoop felt insecure because we already have Pac and Snoop was jealous of Pac due to him being more of a favorite. And snoop at some point so may have felt they have to not Domino off in order for Snoop to have a position in the industry.
Don't think snoops career affected Domino's career I just think that the record labels just distanced themselves from him coz he had too much close links to the crips coz of his part on "Bangin on wax" that's my opinion anyway 😢 Domino was 1 of my 1st introductions to West Coast Rap/HipHop 🩵💙💯💯
Domino never sounded like Snoop Doggy Dogg to me...never. But Snoop came out before Domino...he already featured in 1991 Dr.Dre"Deep Cover"...n was all over "The Chronic" album 1992. I never compared Doggy Dogg with Domino...beside they both represented Long Beach
Yeah, he sounded nothing like snoop nor Nate Dogg however, him and Nate Dogg have a little bit of similarities due to the G Funk era . They both had that in their music and for some reason the industry felt like we couldn’t have 2G Funk artist that were able to sing and rap. They gave all the shine to Nate dog and even though I love Nate Dogg, it’s not fair because Domino was doing it first.
Thank you for watching my videos 😊 please remember to like, share and subscribe!
Dope breakdown ❤️
His music is still in my playlist

Coolio (RIP) got The Gangsta Paradise and thats was the End of Domino.
@@BlaCcSymphanyBeatsSnoop never got behind him and gave him any push or features I wonder if Suge gated it
I still listen to domino 🎶😊🔥
Me too
Ghetto Jam never gets old.

Lot of great rappers came out of that era. Domino, Skee-Lo, Quik, Pharcyde
Skee-Lo never gets enough love. He’s one of the earliest alternative west coast Hip-Hop artists I ever heard
Was listening to Domino back in 93 before I'd heard of snoop and love the tune raincoat and ghetto jam even his whole album 👌
30 year's just flew bye 😲🙂😭
@@charrua59just like that
Domino was a straight legend from the west coast ❤
Better than 80% of them
My favorite of his songs is Long Beach tang…. His album blew up heavily in Nigeria but so sad he never came to Nigeria 😫😫😫😫😫

FACTS
Tha Dogg Pound had beef with Domino over it
@@TellyWashaSavalasnow it makes sense because Domino imo was better than Nate Dogg
Melle Mel is imo the first I looked back on who did the singing with the song White Lines. But nobody cares when you go too far back.
He just did a chorus hook with MC Eiht that was released the other day coming off of MC Eihts new album "Lessons 2".
Maaaannn Halle played the shit out that role 😂😂
😂
😂😂😂
I'm from Manchester England 🇬🇧and I was listening to Domino back in the mid 90s and still Do💯💯💥💥😉
His coming to London soon. Hopefully he’ll be at the Chip Shop Brixton.
@ptrco5 yeahhh man nice 1 for the heads up I'll get onto that 😉
@@Jammo1978 No worries. I’ll let you know once I hear from him again.
@@ptrco5 cheers bruv 😉

Did you know domino was a Long Beach crip?
Ghetto Jam is a timeless classic that I keep going back to for the nostalgia.i just love that joint!
Great video and commentary. I loved Ghetto Jam and Sweet Potato Pie. Always wondered what happened to him.
♥️
He made his mark for sure. Very few songs are better than Sweet Potato Pie. That beat still hits.
I remember that Apollo episode 😂😂😂damn I feel old 😩😩Young folks probably like what’s Apollo? 😂
😂
spoke to him on IG, that's my guy man. very humble dude 🙏

Was Listening 2 Sweet Potato Pie just Today. Had the Album & Was in Cali during those yrs. Wish Dude could've had at least 1 More Hit Album!!
Ghetto Jam is one of my oldest daughter's favorite jam's and she's only 34 years old!😊
Magoo sounded like Q Tip ..
Everytime I hear this song i think of Halle berry is a alley cat coat stealing 😆
😂
You not the only one lol

Honestly, I never made the connection with Kendrick and Domino. You're spot on!
What about The Mask, Domino sang This business of love. That song is fkn fire!!!🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Domino and snoop from long beach...snoop took alot of Domino qualities in his own music.
I listen to Ghetto Jam once a month and I love the Tales from the joint
Whoever said Drake was the first rapper/singer never heard Domino. He was the very first to do it. Take notes new school.
He's coming out with a new album
One of the firsts to Rap Sing , salute to Domino

Da OG diggady domino🔥🔥 his catalogue is SICK

We went to the high school and would battle with him and rock chill from Wilson and radio…. Yea he was dope..
Tales From The motherfucking Hood. They did him dirty only twenty seconds to wrap credits scroll
I thought Domino and doggy style sounds alike, but I thought it was just a west coast thing at the time.
Underrated GOAT 🐐
If you do a story about domino, let’s talk about domino. You went all off track and started talking about the DO double G.
Last time I saw this dude he was at my ppls house on Vermont and 88th st at a family get together back in like 07-08 I wish I could post the pic I took with him on here
Domino got a bum rap because of Snoop Dogg. I get it, but it is unfair. Dom was dope and I still bump him to this day.
Classic
Domino was so cool. 😎
Sniops my favorite but Domino was still dope i didn't hate never had never will , wish snoop had him on Doggystyle or Doggfather
Interesting fact, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith likes Domino's music lol 🤷🏾♂️.
There was No Maybe Little Comparison 2 Snoop. Heard that b4. When i heard Domino i Nor No1 around was like "He Sounds like Snoop"🤨
Damn I love sweet potato
That’s a bunch of BS because if anything Domino was more compared to Nate Dogg and I honestly think that’s why he didn’t get as much as attention as he deserved because he was definitely doing it first.

0:26 Awwww
What happened to Jimmy Cozier?
Damn I thought sweet potato pie came out first 😅
I got his music on my ipod
Domino was nice yea!!!
Is he on ig
Domino never sounded like Snoop Doggy Dogg to me...never.
But Snoop came out before Domino...he already featured in 1991 Dr.Dre"Deep Cover"...n was all over "The Chronic" album 1992.
I never compared Doggy Dogg with Domino...beside they both represented Long Beach
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He never sounded like snoop
Snoop wasn’t hotter than too short on the west coast back in the day
cap
@@ksager123 I mean he wasn’t don’t forget short was out way before snoop short had much more better albums then snoop’s dogg debut album doggystyle
He wasn’t comparable to Snoop other than being LBC’s he can be more comparable to Nate Dogg but Domino was better than Nate
Rep
He was a better artist than Snoop, Snoop had the better team tho
He don't sound like nothing like snoop or nate.
I never said he sound like either. I said he had a laid back flow like Nate Dog. Thanks for watching
Yeah, he sounded nothing like snoop nor Nate Dogg however, him and Nate Dogg have a little bit of similarities due to the G Funk era . They both had that in their music and for some reason the industry felt like we couldn’t have 2G Funk artist that were able to sing and rap.
