Title: BG Knocc Out & Dresta - Real Brothas
Post by: That_Cracka_J on May 13, 2002, 06:37:53 PM: BG Knocc Out & Dresta – Real Brothas

1. Everyday allday…Nice opening track. Bangin’ beat. Dresta flows his ass off on here. BG only does the chorus and it’s off the hook. 5/5
2. Jealousy…Bomb ass song about people getting jealous at those who work hard and are successful. Tight flows from both Dresta and BG. 4.5/5
3. Whose the G…A BG solo song. Deep bassline and flowin’ ass lyrics. 4/5
4. Compton swangin’…Faster beat. I’m really not diggin’ the chorus. Lyrics are good and still fit the beat nicely. 3.5/5
5. Life’s a puzzle…Basically talking about life in the ghetto. Bumpin’ ass beat. 4/5
6. B.G. Knocc Out…The beat here is slowed and the duo spit some ill flows. 3.5/5
7. Compton hoe…A solo Dresta song talking about fucking. I’m loving BG’s hook. It’s the best part of the song. 4/5
8. Micc checc…A song about revenge. It starts with a REAL laidback beat, nothing really much to it, but it sounds good as hell. Then when the chorus comes in the beat comes alive. 4.5/5
9. Compton & Watts…Paying tribute to what else? Dresta spits some dope lyrics. 4.5/5
10. 50/50 luv…Kinda talking about how things change. Lyrics on point. The hook leaves a little to be desired. 4/5
11. Real brothas…BG and Dresta trade verses and both flow their asses off. 4.5/5
12. Do or die…A raw, gangsta, laidback track. Good hook. 4/5
13. Take a ride…Party song. Average beat, nothing really remarkable. Probably the worst track on the album. 3/5
14. Down goes another nigga…Yeah, the title just about explains it. Tight, laidback beat. 4/5
15. Dogg Pound killa…The duo’s answer to The Dogg Pound’s ‘What would U do?’ They answer quite nicely with an under-rated diss track. 4.5/5

This is probably one the most under-rated albums of all time. One of few CD’s you can put in the player and not have to skip a track. The only one I’d skip I maybe ‘Take a ride’. Besides that, it’s a bangin’ ass CD. Rhythm D and Doctor Jam produced the majority of the album. It obviously was going to come out on Ruthless Records, if Eazy-E hadn’t have died.

OVERALL…9/10

Title: Re: BG Knocc Out & Dresta - Real Brothas
Post by: IKON on May 19, 2002, 08:55:17 AM: Damn this cd is tha shit but they dissappeared. They need to hook up with Rhythm D again and make another album, I doubt that will happen though, If u see this cd pick it up cause it is well worth the $$$$$

Post by: West Coast Veteran on June 18, 2002, 07:41:04 AM: Damn I haven't listened to this album for about a year. Thanks for reminding me I had it. Shit even I slept on it and I own it! This was one of the most underrated West Coast classics out there. The production was tight as fuck. The in-house Ruthless producers were incredible. Sadly they disappeared of the face of the Earth. Knocc Out and Dresta are nice on the mic and dropped one of the best diss songs ever. I feel ya on this album being a long-play meaning you can play it from beginning to end without skipping one track.

Post by: 40oz GRApHire on July 31, 2002, 09:32:47 AM: First of all this is one Dope azz album.. 8)

I readed a interview with BG KNOcc out and he said that they werent planning on releasing a album untill DPG Dropped What would you do... so they where planning on 1 track called "DPG Killa" but they also had a few other songs left so they though that its better to make a full album :o... and also normally they where both gonna go solo but one of the producers mixed a song to getter of BG Knocc Out with Dresta's and it sounded tha shit so they released Realbrothas... But not to mention that this album was also produced by Domino... Something alot of ppl dont know :o

i think eazy was alive !
Title: Re:BG Knocc Out & Dresta - Real Brothas
Post by: _That_Cracka_J on December 05, 2002, 06:37:17 PM: He was defintely alive when it was being recorded. I remember seeing BoxTalk and Dresta & KnoccOut was on there flowin' a verse from "Real Brothas". The album actually came out in August of 1995 though when E was dead. This probably would have come out on Ruthless Records if Eazy was still around.

Eazy was still around, BGKO & Dresta didnt sign with Ruthless because they were already contracted with Outburst before they met Eazy... Eazy did get hes precentage out of that album ;)... Dope album for those that dont know... Does anyone have the DPG vs. Dresta & BGKO fight on tape?

Title: Re:BG Knocc Out & Dresta - Real Brothas
Post by: 40oz GRApHire on March 19, 2003, 08:37:21 AM: Yeah Lazy, thats a big story... I know Nate & Dresta, Knocc oUt & Daz were fighting & the rest was just looking & shit but Warren, 5 Footaz & all of them were at the set when it happened & shit.. They didnt want to enterfear so they just looked but DPG had like 20 ppl backin' them... Anyhow all I know is that BG Knocc OUt & Dresta had like 5 Nutty Blocc'staz also fighting DPG members but they got pulled out of eachother & then after a while DPG & Crew left..
