45 box version of Dam and Snoop's G-funk masterpiece! Stones Throw gives 7 Days Of Funk the deluxe 7" boxset treatment here, with each track on its own 45 with instrumental on the flip, plus bonus track not available anywhere else! This is a match made in G-funk heaven and easily the biggest collab on Stones Throw since 'Lib & MF (but on a much bigger and funkier scale). On 7 Days Of Funk Snoop, err.. SnoopZILLA returns to the G-funk roots of Doggystyle with Dam-Funk laying down the funk PROPER. Snoop & D-F are incredible solo artists in every respect, but when the two combine forces it's magic. It was a long time coming, and glad to see the two finally connected and created not only a couple tracks, but an entire album that captures the essence of the funk from the real ambassadors of the sound. Check "Faden Away," "Hit Da Pavement," "Let It Go," "Ride," and "Systamatic" for a taste, but really the whole album bangs. Guest spots from Kurupt, Tha Dogg Pound, Steve Arrington, and Bootsy Collins! Comes with free mp3 download, Recommended.
