[Doggystylin]

hey mellowman i have a few questions

can you explain more about warren when you have time?

and do snoop and dre or anyone from the crew  know about this board?  have they ever been on here?

and whats up with Daz? is he gonna make music with dre again? what does dre think of him?

[Top-Dogg2001]

This is some good news. I'm glad you mentioned something about man vs machine. Yo, who are the producers on this joint cause I'm really looking forward to it. Is dre and mellman gonna be working with him again.

[AlerG]

hmm...still not convinced on the soundtrack but i have a good feeling about warren's cd...xzibits last cd was pretty tight lyrically and if he thinks it was only 1/10 then that's pretty hard to believe cause i thought it was tight...i wanna hear that nate song real bad and anyone who has any songs from the wash soundtrack please post them on this thread or another thread but let us know where they are...i'm looking foward to the second half of this thread...


oh and mellow can you please address why eminem isn't on the cd besides the d12 song...and why it isn't new d12 material...and also how eminem's new cd is coming along, thanks, peace.

i'm back. i had to run back to play some d but now i'm on the offensive again. there are a few things surrounding the wash soundtrack that i didn't mention because it is not the right time or place. and it probably never will be. these things came from outside THE aftermath camp, thats why i won't go into them. i know everyone was expecting hittman to show up on the wash soundtrack. but like i told you many times hittman's future with aftermath was up in the air and it still is, and at this point it doesn't look real promising.
dr dre/timbaland project - dre is mum on the subject as it is more or less timbaland's idea. it could happen, but i doubt it. thats not to say dre and timbo don't have good relationship cause they do, evident by timbalands helping out with giving a few songs so we had enough to fill the wash out.
dre's bin laden song - there is such a song but right now it probably won't come out. dre wants to put it out but doesn't know if it is the best idea or the proper reaction to what happened. the unfinished song is craaaaaazy. fuckin crazy. as evident by dre being the first celebrity to donate 1 million bucks, the events of sept. 11th had a huge impact on dre. and dre more than expresses his anger toward bin laden and the people responsible on the monster track. their is no title for the song and no planned release date. if it was me i'd put it out cause it is "natural born killaz" like. i hope you hear it cause it is fuckin dope but right now i would say you probably won't hear it.
rumors of people being dropped off the aftermath label - a certain website recently decided to come after dre and even spread some lies. the people responsible were people we thought were friends. guess not. like the old saying goes "the people you think are your friends really ain't your friends". but in this business you learn that lesson hundred's of times.  truth hurts and rakim are still on the aftermath label, contrary to the rumors and lies out there. once the wash release and promotion are past, getting truth hurts album touched up and released is priority number one in the aftermath camp. dre has spend a lot of time working on Truth's album. the recording sessions have yielded some 70 songs and it is now in the song picking stage. expect truth hurts debut album to be released fairly soon. i'll talk more about it as that time approaches. now i have some news that will be disappointing to some but it is way too early to get too down about it. i want to be as honest with you as possible without getting too detailed or compromise anybody i talk about. as far as rakim goes, you've probably noticed i haven't brought up oh my god up lately.
well, there is a small chance that Rakim will never drop an album on Aftermath. at the same time there is a small chance rakim will never drop another album. please do not jump to any conclusions or get too excited.  if it doesn't happen dre will be the most dissapointed person on the planet. and that's saying something considering that this project is something i've waited my whole life for. dre will pursue every avenue and exhaust every possibilty to get this album done. that's why i am confident that you will hear oh my god at some point down the line. a lot of this has to do with rakim. we have to get a better picture of his thinking. but before you start crying, remember that i said that there is a small possibilty oh my god won't drop. now after hearing this news most of you will automatically assume that dre is at fault if it doesn't happen. it seems like every dre project announced that doesn't happen, everyone places all of the blame directly on dre. this concept is totally unfair and ridiculous in most cases. i will address this issue on another reply in a little while. i'll also address DETOX and a few other things. talk to you soon.

[Doggystylin]

thanx for the news

but what about my questions???

can you please answer them

[AlerG]

oh no, i'm not crying but i wanted rakim to drop more than anything, more than a new dre cd...ahhhhhhhhh noooooooooo, i wonder what's going on with ra...this is not good news at all, peace.

[TOOTHBRUSH]

yo mellow how many songs do you know of that dre produced on snoops new cd??? please answer i need to know!!!!!!!!

[Suga Foot]

Damn, Mellowman always comes correct with the exlusives! Thanks Dogg!

[Murrow]

Mellow, I'm glad to see we agree on the "Bones" album seeing that it's "funky & smooth."  Much props for you comin here and sayin what's gotta be said even if it may be bad or good news.  I'll be happy with whatever Dre drops.

[mellowman]

i want to clarify something real quick about my Restless comments. i loved the album and thought it was much better than most people gave it credit for. however, xzibit expects more out of himself. x was disappointed with restless cause he didn't really have the studio time or ability in his schedule to have enough time to make it as good as he hoped. but he was happy with restless all things considered. however he belives that he can do 10 times better lyrically. he wants to do more complex, deeper, more introspective rhymes and less of the tired old topics and views. since man vs machine is not on aftermath i will not comment on producers. it is not my place or my right to release too much information.the only thing i will confirm is dre will again e.p and produce on the album.
as far as talking more about warren, again it would be disrespectful and backstabbing to talk about a lot of things regarding warren. i will not compromise my friends by releasing personal information which is unaccetable to talk about. if warren wants to talk about it he can. but i wont. as far as your daz question i have addressed that before. daz said too much shit about dre, both lies and disses. dre forgives but he don't forget. daz has got his own shit going and dre is in full support of daz's career.as far as eminem. ill talk about him and his upcoming shit when the time is right.
as far as continued doubt about the wash soundtrack. if you knew everything involved and the shit in the music business that happens you would appreciate things a lot more. as i said the wash is a really dope album and although there are a few things we had planned on happening that didn't we gave everything we had to put out the best album possible. time was cut short and a few setbacks from outside influences and people caused things to change our initial plans for the album. but i can't say enough times that given everything that happened and all the circumstances involved we could not have made it any better than it is. i wish we had til next summer to work on it, but we were not given that opportunity. PLEASE FOR THE LAST TIME WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP AND LISTEN TO IT IN CD QUALITY BEFORE YOU JUDGE IT. trust me it will be better than many of you are thinking right now. be back soon.

[TOOTHBRUSH]

i just heard the knock song off the wash toundrack i gotta say big up to dre on the beat!  hey mellow let me say this again please, please i beg you on my hands and knees do you know how many tracks dre has produced so far on snoops new album and have you heard them? please answer

[Ant]

hey mellow i just wanted to give some thoughts of my own...

first off definitely much respect to dre for all the hard work and wonderful music he has put out over his career... i think he is a wonderful role model for the music industry and for our youth...

my personal opinion on the "anti bin laden" song... i am sure its a dope track but i dont think it would be in dre's best interest to release this.. im sure he has thought about all this himself but just my opinino also... i dont think this country needs anymore hate and while im sure its an amazing song im also sure it would get misinterpretted no matter how well thought out and worded it is by someone... as i was saying i think dre is a wonderful role model and while i havent heard the song i wouldnt want to see his credibility ruined by it...

especially in the black community there are few really strong, well known, intelligent, and positive role models... some possess a FEW of these charateristics but few possess all...  people can criticize dre for the content of his music but i think dre has made a large positive contribution to the world and i would love to see him continue doing so...

few people ever get put in the position he is in to really make a difference and although he is at heart a musical artist he has contributed more than just music to this country and personally i would love to see him become even futher involved in the community and in the nation on a Positive level... i think his recent donation really said a lot about his character to this country and i wouldnt want to see that tarnished...

i guess what i am trying to get at is this country has so few black leaders and whether people realize it or not i think Dre is and should be one of them and i think it would be great to see him even further involved.... much respect and the best of luck

Ant
