How does he feel about the fact that when the possibility occurs people can submit questions for him they only come up with questions about stuff that happened 20 years ago?

Ask him why did he try and base his whole career off biting Snoop.

Ask him why is he a snoop wannabe.

How did he end up on the row, what was his original rapping name and style (any audio?), what influence did suge have on his image presentation and career? Did he know the Realest when he was still using his original stage name? If so how different was his style? Would he collaborate with snoop now?

top dogg said in a interview that :

Quote
DX: I know a lot of critics, radio deejays and fans at the time made the association with you and Snoop. There were records you made directed at him, and comments he made in the media directed at you and Suge Knight. I’m curious to know, when you signed, was it just “YGD” or were you always Top Dogg? How much of that came from label politics, and 10 years later, have you ever had the chance to speak with Snoop?

YGD Top Dogg: Actually, I had talked to Snoop [Dogg] after [The Source‘s 1998] magazine cover-story had come out, with the blue background. I called him up. I said, “What’s up, I heard you talkin’ that shit about me.” I had met him prior to that, at The Palace in [Los Angeles, for a radio concert]. Jay-Z was there, before he was [a superstar], Mack 10, Ice Cube – everybody was there. I did my song, and [Snoop Dogg and I] chopped it up right before that. He was just tryin’ to give me some game. Then I saw [the interview publish]. Now that I think about it, he probably said [the negative things] before we met. [Laughs]

After I saw what he said, I started goin’ in, on the video and all that shit, like “Fuck you too.” However, we gotta respect and pay homage to our legends. That’s my thing now. New cats in the game are disrespectin’ mothafuckas that’s paved the way for ’em. I think, I was that same nigga though. [Chuckles] I’m human, but I love talkin’ [freely].

can you ask him more about this

Ask him if he still has that "2 Tuff" demo, that made Suge sign him :)

Ask him about Eastwood - I've heard he was instrumental into bringing him to Death Row (they were from the same neighborhood I believe)

What was his first impression of Tha Realest? Did he had some objections from working with him?

Did he always sounded like Snoop or was it Suge's influence to try replicate the success?

Did he ever thought that Suge only signed him for his resemblence of Snoop?

He signed to Tha Row when Snoop was still on board - did they had a chance to talk while still both on the label?

Why it took him so long to drop "The Renegade" album? It was first advertised in 2006, but dropped in 2011...

What was the reason for tracks recorded @ Death Row to being featured on "The Renegade"?

He said in some interview, that he never recorded an album on Death Row, but a demo submitted to Suge called "Evry Dogg Has His Day" leaked since then - ask him what's up with that?  :)

Ask him if:

What tracks was taken off 'Too Gangsta For Radio' that he did (he was on the OG Promo Poster but never appeared on the album)

Him and Tha Realest are going to do an album together?

How did it feel to drop the hit record "ALL ABOUT U" and be featured ALLOVER MTV, BET, and THE BOX?

It sold over a million units because each sale counts as 2 units being that it's a double CD -- Suge & Kurupt both said it was well over a million units sold -- if you're saying 700k sold, well that's 1.4 million, but I believe it's closer to 2 million units -- it charted at #11 on the Billboard Charts and comparing sales numbers it outsold Snoop's last 3 albums! Shows you how wack some of those artists are without Suge Knight leading the way!

It did not go platinum. 700k sounds in line with what I heard back in the day, and that was taking into consideration the fact that it was a double album. So it really was more like 350k.

I remember seeing it on old DR website (forgot the name of it) years ago (around 2006) - it had numbers to every DR release and these were the numbers.

DMX and Cash Money/No Limit was makin all the $$$ cause 97 was just a Row year with Suge in Jail -- 97 was Mack 10, Death Row unreleased 2pac tracks, Bone, etc.
