ur wrong its sam sneed
i'm pretty sure you are wrong...
I haven't heard anything about Sneed doing pop before, as far as i know, he took a few years break from the game after his brain-tumour (rappers like Dre & Busta helped finance the treatment), before he came back with a beat on Jigga's Vol 3 album and JT Money's Blood, Sweat And Tears in 2000/2001....
and after some research, i found out that Sean "Barney" Thomas (did ya mix up the name there 'Seer? ;) ) did some production for a pop-singer named Denise Lopez, who also had production/writing from Max Martin, who was responsible for i.e. Backstreet Boys & Britney Spears...
google.com bitches! ;D

thanks for backing my post up with some hard facts mygla...
think it was sean 'barney rubble' thomas.. that threw me.. ;)
-
I just watched the source awards 95 again and its a shame that Sam Sneed never really got his chance to drop a hot album.
He rips the mic with think you better recognize and everybody knows that he made some dope beats on deathrow together with dre.
-
he was definately one of the most talented producers on death row - and his flow was dope too
he ripped it at the source awards, every time i see that video i wish id hold a sam sneed album in my hands
and dont forget, he produced keep their heads ringin! im listening to the instrumetal every few weeks and its like a masterpiece to me - i try to learn from it
-
Sam Sneed's one of the dopest artists\producers that never had to chance to fully blow up. The "U Better Recognize" track is real tight, and an album from him would've been killer. 2 of Dre's illest productions were "Natural Born Killaz" and "Keep Their Heads Ringin" and those are the 2 cuts that Sneed co-produced with him. They were a great team. I even dig Sam's new material, that "Curious" beat had a laid back feel and a thump to it.
-
He tried to leave Deathrow right after Dre left in early 96, but Deathrow wouldn't let him out of his contract. He wanted to leave because some of the people at deathrow jumped him because he shot a video that did not any Deathrow artists, and because his video had a lot of east coast artists in it.

Yeah. I believe Pac was the main instigator of that brawl.

how old is sam sneed anyway?

it's on Yayo's album...

Sam sneed was really talented. He ripped the mic on the soource awards show. To bad he fell of.
-
he was pretty tight on some of the tracks that leaked a couple of years ago... The Golden Child was a certified banger, and What Comes Around was pretty smooth...
-
i did some more searching... and it seems like Sneed remixed a track for UK rap-group Big Brovaz...We Wanna Thank You (Sam Sneed Remix)...
i can't find the track on the net tho...
-
found a 1.14 snippet ;D

^^I found the song the other day, but had some problems downloading it, and can't find it now.

sean barney thomas has done hella other shit. i was bored and googled him one night a few months ago and found massive amounts of material he has worked on. a lot of it was overseas shit. that guy is really talented. who gives a fuck if he worked with pop people, it's not like he was some dude asking for street cred, hes simply a talented musician who was making hits before and after death row.
as for sam sneed, on the dpg eulogy dvd daz describes his beatdown. he said that sam was demanding that he be paid for his work on a song he did for snoop (blueberry from doggfather) and daz said that sam was basically being hypocritical about it because snoop did some shit for sam (sam's version of blueberries that got leaked with those dre tracks) and snoop didn't ever ask to be paid for it. So that sparked off the tension in the room and then 2pac got involved because sam's video for lady heroin didnt have other death row artists in it and they beat his ass. daz said that him and nate dogg had their hands on their straps that whole meeting because shit was crazy in that room.
after sam left death row he got that brain tumor as you all know. after he recovered he released a 12" single called golden child with 2 b-sides. it was a decent record but a far cry from his old shit. he had his own label (street scholar entertainment) and put out a 12" for one of his artists who was called tigah i believe. that song was wack as fuck if i remember correctly. he then put out another 12" of his own shit, 2 songs one called the matrix and the other called what comes around which were solid. He produced that song "I Smell Pussy" by G-Unit off their album which was a fuckin sick beat not to mention sick song all around. like those other people said before me he produced for yayo, jigga, jt money, and capone n noreaga. hopefully more major artists get on his hype because lately he's been makin some bangaz. and also hopefully we will get to hear more of his shit from the death row era one day. (don't hold your breath though). I would like to see that video for lady heroin most of all.
-
I don't know that Sam Sneed demanded to be paid for his work. I heard that Snoop asked him how much he would charge for a beat and it got twisted from there.
Then again, with Death Row's bad record for paying their staff he probably needed the cash.
-
There's a guy at my work called sean seed and i think of sam sneed everyday because of that.
-
i've got the golden child 12".. took a bit of finding.. can't remember how now.

yeah, that's what it says in the Ronin Ro book... somehow i look at that book as a more credible source than Daz...

Daamn, Sam Sneed & J.Flexx were underrated, they were both dope as fuck 8)

Same here.
And thanks for all the info that everybody gave.

Here's a link to an interview Sam Sneed did a couple years ago: http://www.ballerstatus.net/features/read/id/86131302/
Says he wants to leave that old stuff alone - shame really, I would've loved to hear more from his DR days.
-
I read somewhere that a Death Row engineer once said that Sam Sneed's Death Row album was the best produced Death Row album ever, right behind "The Chronic". :o I wouldn't doubt it, to be honest. Sam had a real sick style of melody and production, that's why Dre hyped him up so much in '93, calling him a 'secret weapon'. If you listen to "Keep Their Heads Ringin", you can definitely hear Sam's influence. A lot of crazy sounds in that beat.
