AllMusic[1]
RapReviews7.5/10[2]

AllMusic's Jason Birchmeier praised the album for being an upgrade over Daz's mixtapes, emphasizing both songwriting and guest appearances to develop the "tracks into actual songs", highlighting the Snoop Dogg and Soopafly collaborations as "particularly noteworthy". He concluded that: "Overall, DPGC is one of Daz's best and one to look for if you're a fan."[1] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews wrote: "Taken strictly at face value "DPGC: U Know What I'm Throwin' Up" is his best solo album to date, lyrically and musically. If he'd cut back on the number of skits, produce a few of the songs himself, and get the obligatory guest like Redman or Nas on a track, the next album could straight murder the music business, or Suge himself – whichever he reaches first."[2]
