I thought some of you real West Coasters would be interested. For those who cannot view Death Row's forum here is the info. I post as "DBSoul".

Back in the day, there used to be a bunch of groups signed to Death row. Emmage was one of them. Also The Convicts (Big Mike and Lord 3-2) were going to be one of the first ones with a release, but they went back to Rap-A-Lot. Being a good friend of DJ Slip I once got to hear some of the Death Row Unreleased Big Mike and 3-2 Convicts stuff he did. Slip was one of the original staff producers for Death Row.

Like I said above, back in the day, there used to be a bunch of groups signed to Death Row. Emmage (Ebony Men Muscially Able to Give Entertainment) was one of them. You can hear them on "Why You Frontin?" from the Deep Cover soundtrack, on THE CHRONIC and Comptons Most Wanted's 1992 release 'Music To Driveby' to name a few. They opened for Michel'le and through that connection made their way to Los Angeles and eventually signed to Death Row Records.

Dj Slip (Comptons Most Wanted) was one of the original staff producers for the label. It was Slip, Dr. Dre, DJ Unkown, Rhythm D, and Chris "The Glove" Taylor.

Another thing you might not know is the fact that the Slip created the name. It was originally going to be "Def Row" i.e. "Def Jam." Unknown went and copywrote the name Slip created and sold it to Suge and Dre for $5000. You can check the info for yourself and see that there is a trademark on both Def Row and Death Row.


Some inside info for WCC but it's the truth so there is nothing wrong letting it be known.

Emmage. Old, yet entertaining.

Think the westcoast needs a direct mix of talent covering all areas like rap, jazz, and blending them altogether

[jacktheripper]

True.
