====Glory Days (Late 1980s - 1991)==== | |||
Rockstar's promotional website [http://www.westcoastraplegends.com/ Forgotten Legends of West Coast Rap] reveals that Madd Dogg first gained extreme popularity as a rapper (without any full albums) in the late 1980s. | |||
In 1990 he released 2 albums, '''''[[Hustlin' Like Gangstaz]]''''' (1990), '''''[[Still Madd]]''''' (1990), [[24 Carat Dogg|'''''24 Carat Dogg''''']] (1991) | |||
Shortly after [[Carl Johnson|CJ's]] arrival, Madd Dogg was at the height of his career, having just released his own line of clothing, as well as numerous other merchandises. Madd Dogg's career suffers a decline after CJ [[Madd Dogg's Rhymes|steals his rhyme book]] and [[Management Issues|kills his manager]], [[Alan Crawford]], in an effort to jumpstart [[Jeffrey Cross|OG Loc's]] music career. | Shortly after [[Carl Johnson|CJ's]] arrival, Madd Dogg was at the height of his career, having just released his own line of clothing, as well as numerous other merchandises.

In return for saving his life, Madd Dogg requests that CJ be his new manager. Furthermore, CJ makes up for ruining his career by seizing his mansion back and restoring his name in the rap industry. CJ and Madd Dogg pursue OG Loc to reclaim Dogg's rhyme book and frighten Loc into giving up rap and leaving them alone. At game's end, Madd Dogg's comeback results in a gold record. He is heard in both and in [[WCTR]], where he is heard about the news about him receiving his gold record and having his new manager, Carl. | In return for saving his life, Madd Dogg requests that CJ be his new manager.

, '''''[[Forty Dogg]]''''' ([[1993]]) -- which was digitally remastered in 2003 "to the delight of many fans", and "the less-than-stellar" '''''N.L.A.D.B. (Never Leave a Dog Behind)''''' (1994). | |||
Eventhough we can't listen to any of Madd Dogg's songs we can assume they have a "G-funk" sound similar to Eazy-E and Dr.Dre's music which was hugely popular around the time San Andreas is set. | Eventhough we can't listen to any of Madd Dogg's songs we can assume they have a "G-funk" sound similar to Eazy-E and Dr.Dre's music which was hugely popular around the time San Andreas is set. | ||
