I know i'll get hate for this, but I think This DJ is better than Regulate.

why would u get hate for that

they're both widely considered 5/5 classix

Didn't even know they had a second album

because it only came out in japan

in 2000

All the stars were aligned for Warren in 94’.  So of course Dre came thru for the “Do You See” video.  And I was only 12, I’d barely been a hiphop head for only one year so I actually thought Snoop was on “Recognize” and not just a sample, lol

Then you had Dre biggin him up in the Show documentary. 

So yeah no doubt even when something went wrong it ended up right for Warren in 94’.  I’m not arguing what you are saying.

…but it literally like hit me, like reminding myself when I added the “This DJ” video on here — I suddenly remembered Warren was THE MAN in 94’.  You don’t ever have those moments when you sort of forget something that you know is true, and you have a sort of double-take?   One time I heard Pac on a song in 98’ that I had never heard before and for a few seconds I thought it was a new rapper — like “damn this guy got next” — but then of course you come to your senses and you are like, “oh that’s Pac”

So yeah, it was just me it was just that like 2 second lapse seeing “This DJ” for the first time in years it was like “oh yeah that’s right I damn near forgot Warren WAS the man summer 94.  Like at the height of the golden era of rap this unlikely alpha-dog was THE MAN !

I know i'll get hate for this, but I think This DJ is better than Regulate. 

Probably the worst song on the album too.  Why do a video for this one??

Would be amazing if Snoop started playing more unreleased songs on his podcast on a regular basis. 

Heltah Skeltah was ill.

Agree!  I think DOC's voice was unique and crazy during that time, definitely could've had some dope albums produced around that unique sound.  Heltah Skeltah was a great album. 

Wish someone would dig up their true sophomore album off G-Funk Records title "Ringers" that was supposed to be released in 97.  Dunno what happened with them and Warren, but their album got shelved and Warren never did much with them after that. 

I mean... can you blame Dre for the rapping part? This was after the car accident so it isn't like Dre was wrong for thinking that.
