Huge Death Row Records History: Part 2 is HERE!

[Sir Petey]

I really appreatiate the time and effort took to put this together but afew of your facts were off ( more so then the first instalment)  and it seems like there is a little bitterness toward snoop throughout the article...as someone with a background in journalism Im probably being a bit harsh, but I see so much potential
in this, and I want to read it as if it were an article in vibe or some other hip hop publication...but ultimately the use of your own opinions through out the article makes that impossible...never the less I commend you for the time it must have took to piece this together and cant denigh that it is a compelling read....

thanks for the honest feedback...

as I dealt with the first time, I am not a proffessional journalist, and therefore just put this together for fun. Personal opinion was essential for this, because I did it for people who wanted my opinion. I did not write this for Dubcc or DubCNN, but decided to share it here because I knew of the interest.

I also found there are MANY different takes on most of the events in 1996, so I hard it find to prove which is right and wrong. You claim some facts are wrong, when 100 other people would say they are actually correct, but there's some other facts that are wrong.

So much of the label is surrounded in myth, I am just putting foward the Death Row Records history, I am aware of and have studied through music, the net, TV, The Source/Vibe/XXL/Rolling Stone from that time frame etc...

anything I wrote I have some form of evidence to back up... 99% of the time

Read both parts. Great read. You should try and write more. You have some talent.

[Mygla]

it was a good read, i've been reading about DR on the web for years, and i've read Ronin Ro's book about it, so most of it i've seen before, but you hade some fun facts, and the pictures were dope...

big props on doing this! the ish you're writing on is music-history!

[BigBDrugStores]

so on gfunk classics vol1&2 vol 1 was recorded on death row and vol 2 wasnt?

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

Can DubCC permanently archive this?  It's that good.  Toby, you should try to publish this.

Great information.  Two of the best posts ever on a "westcoast hip-hop" message board.

Thanks.

[TobyTizzle]

Damn, thanks for that man, it was a good compliment for me to wake up to...

Yes, Vol.1 of that Nate Dogg cd is technically Death Row music, whereas Vol.2 is not (notice Warren G wasnt involved in the Death Row part?)

[BigBDrugStores]

so that explains the intro to part two, thanks for clearing that up

[Da WCC Hopar!]

sick shit man keep up the good work man mad props for those rare pics man

[Kaligula]

That was real thorough man, thanx for that. Definitely some stuff I had never read before.

I actually bought a copy of Nate's album (G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 and 2) when he released it on his own label in 98', I think. Most of it was pretty good, too.
