Sam Sneed

[Mygla]

he was pretty tight on some of the tracks that leaked a couple of years ago... The Golden Child was a certified banger, and What Comes Around was pretty smooth...

i did some more searching... and it seems like Sneed remixed a track for UK rap-group Big Brovaz...We Wanna Thank You (Sam Sneed Remix)...

i can't find the track on the net tho...

sean barney thomas has done hella other shit. i was bored and googled him one night a few months ago and found massive amounts of material he has worked on. a lot of it was overseas shit. that guy is really talented. who gives a fuck if he worked with pop people, it's not like he was some dude asking for street cred, hes simply a talented musician who was making hits before and after death row.

as for sam sneed, on the dpg eulogy dvd daz describes his beatdown. he said that sam was demanding that he be paid for his work on a song he did for snoop (blueberry from doggfather) and daz said that sam was basically being hypocritical about it because snoop did some shit for sam (sam's version of blueberries that got leaked with those dre tracks) and snoop didn't ever ask to be paid for it. So that sparked off the tension in the room and then 2pac got involved because sam's video for lady heroin didnt have other death row artists in it and they beat his ass. daz said that him and nate dogg had their hands on their straps that whole meeting because shit was crazy in that room.

after sam left death row he got that brain tumor as you all know. after he recovered he released a 12" single called golden child with 2 b-sides. it was a decent record but a far cry from his old shit. he had his own label (street scholar entertainment) and put out a 12" for one of his artists who was called tigah i believe. that song was wack as fuck if i remember correctly. he then put out another 12" of his own shit, 2 songs one called the matrix and the other called what comes around which were solid. He produced that song "I Smell Pussy" by G-Unit off their album which was a fuckin sick beat not to mention sick song all around. like those other people said before me he produced for yayo, jigga, jt money, and capone n noreaga. hopefully more major artists get on his hype because lately he's been makin some bangaz. and also hopefully we will get to hear more of his shit from the death row era one day. (don't hold your breath though). I would like to see that video for lady heroin most of all.

I don't know that Sam Sneed demanded to be paid for his work. I heard that Snoop asked him how much he would charge for a beat and it got twisted from there.

Then again, with Death Row's bad record for paying their staff he probably needed the cash.

There's a guy at my work called sean seed and i think of sam sneed everyday because of that.

[Don Seer]

yeah, that's what it says in the Ronin Ro book... somehow i look at that book as a more credible source than Daz...

Here's a link to an interview Sam Sneed did a couple years ago: http://www.ballerstatus.net/features/read/id/86131302/

Says he wants to leave that old stuff alone - shame really, I would've loved to hear more from his DR days.

I read somewhere that a Death Row engineer once said that Sam Sneed's Death Row album was the best produced Death Row album ever, right behind "The Chronic".  I wouldn't doubt it, to be honest. Sam had a real sick style of melody and production, that's why Dre hyped him up so much in '93, calling him a 'secret weapon'. If you listen to "Keep Their Heads Ringin", you can definitely hear Sam's influence. A lot of crazy sounds in that beat.
