Title: So why was Xzibit taken off the Streets remix?
Post by: Jome on September 14, 2002, 03:31:27 PM
Why was Xzibit taken off the Streets remix?

* Label-business? Loud didn't want him in 2 different videos when MVM drops?
* Snoop & Xzibit-situation is heated after the Pimp Slap-track, and Snoop threatened to not be in the video if Xzibit showed up too?

* Sumthin is about to happen that we don't know, e.g. Xzibit or Snoop dissing eachother?






Also:
Why won't the OG The Streets be on the "Ghetto Heisman" ??

* The ultimate would have been if the OG was on there, and the remix with both Snoop & Xzibit was on there.
W.C. dropped 3 verses on the OG, and on the remix it was only 2 verses from W.C., meaning that the 3rd verse won't be released.

Or maybe both the remix and the OG will be on there? Anybody know?
But if they put both the OG & The remix on there, there will be 4 verses from W.C. where 2 & 2 verses will be the exact same verse.

This seems very likely.
Figure that some teen-popper sees both "Multiply" & "The Streets remix" on MTV.
Then he/she might as well go and buy W.C.'s album if she likes that one better than Multiply, as "The Streets remix" has not only Xzibit & Nate Dogg, but also Snoop Dogg & W.C.

Xzibit is on columbia now and i'm pretty sure theres no problem with def jam.

Xzibit is still on Loud Records.  ::) Loud is a sub-label of Columbia. Apparently Loud switched their distributor from Epic to Columbia.

I thought they were always with Columbia and just went out of business.

I reckon its a label thing as they always fuck up this kind of shit, and snoop says that xzibits still his homie, he just ain't as close as to him as he once was.

Of course you don't.

Loud is still in business, and it seems very likely that Loud doesn't want Xzibit to be in a video with Snoop, W.C. & Nate Dogg, when they are trying to advertise Xzibit's video, which also has Nate Dogg & W.C. in it.

NAH, it ain't obvious at all.
It seems more likely a Def Jam or Loud desicion.
Obviously Def Jam doesn't want to give free advertisement for  Xzibit's new album, so that people will buy Xzibits album instead of W.C.
It's either Def Jam or Loud...

it couldve been a matter of time...xzibit is on the anger management tour....also i dont think labels got shit to do with it...why wouldnt they want txzibit to get free promotion for his album?...cmon...also it couldve been a matter of keepin everything on the set coo...they probably heard pimp slap and were like "fuck, what if xzibit and snoop get down on the set?"....so of course theyre gonna take something into their hands....and of course theyre gonna knock off xzibit over snoop...ur an unknowing mtv watcher and see two videos they say: W.C. feat Nate Dogg and Xzibit - Streets Remix or W.C. feat Nate Dogg and Snoop - Streets Remix....what are almost automatically gonna watch first?...the one with snop since hes the bigger(much bigger) name....

Sounds fair, but did you get the Def Jam theory?
If Xzibit was on the remix/video, it would basically be a advertisement for MVM, and I doubt Def Jam would want that.

Ok.....snoop is on the remix/video so its an advertisement for Paid the cost to be the boss ?
Same thing for all the other collaborations......

being on other peoples videos actually HELP the sales... if you havent noticed it yet, snoop is also releasing an album, but still, he's on WC's album

JOME If the reason is "free advertisment",snoop wouldnt have to be on wc video/song song cuz his album will be out the month after wc's one.

you people are like little old ladies, trying to find a deeper meaning to shit. so xzibit ain't on the track. who fucking cares? it's music, you guys are like "cube's in the video but he didn't drop a verse because i heard he said some shit about WC's grandma but it was too late to take him out of the video" fuck all that, if you like the way it sounds, listen to it, if not fuck it. why worry about these people's lives? i doubt WC and snoop come to this board going "hey snoop, you hear jome and I-bo got into it over eminem and they ain't even emailin each other no more" fuck it enjoy the music.

If Snoop released his CD in 2 weeks, it WOULD HAVE BEEN A SNOOP ADVERTISEMENT YES!!
TWO MONTHS down the road though is pretty far ahead, W.C.'s album-sales would have silenced off by then.

Whenever anyone releases an album, they try to always do cameos to keep their names hot.  You DON'T do it two weeks before, because that will steal shine from your own album despite the buzz it creates.   If your album is coming out in two months like Snoops, then this is the perfect time to appear on a single like The Streets..........

As for Xzibit, i think the song sounds better without him.......

you tell me to mind my business, fuck you, mind your business, xzibit ain't on there because he ain't on there. is that your business? did you put the track together? did you write some of his rhymes? you produce the vid? NO. so think about what you speak before you put your dick in your mouth and say some stupid shit.

yea agree.. though.. nah, it would be a better ad if Snoop released his own album in 2 WEEKS.
But it really doesn't count for Snoop either way, as he co-stars on 215.775 tracks each year, he doesn't need no ad.
