Question About DPG's New York New York

[~Lucien~]

Melle Mel ties into it because DPG's version of "NY, NY" is a punchline/concept mix of a song form the 80's/90's of Mel's with the same title.

didn't know that...

Love this song, one of my favorite DPG songs actually. great beat by DJ Pooh, and I like the video too! With the giant DPG stomping around NY haha.

The chorus is the same, but Melle's version was about NY being too overpopulated.

The hook is from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five...........

Same question here, I wonder if they made the KNOWING it would anger people, or if they made the song unaware of what it the repruccusions would be.

That live bassline on NY NY is just fire, Poohs best beat if you asked me.

The story was told a while back....

Around the time Chronic/DS was blowin up, snoop and dpg were in NY for a show or awards/jump off/ something at the Tunnel in NY. They were giving Kurupt shit at the door, not letting him in, hating on the west coast etc. and Kurupt literally battle rapped his way into the event. The night he served 2000 MCs.

Or being in the studio with 2Pac when he was recording Makaveli the 7 Day Theroy.

The song seems to be sample free aswell, right? Or does it sample something I've never heard of?

[Tha Psycho Hustla]

so tha eas coas wuz kinda h8in on dem bes coas nicz an dis wuz tha answa?
lol.
they knew what they was doing.they did it cuz of "we made hip-hop, west coast catz cant even freestyle"-shit.
so kurupt fucked them in their asses with his bomb verse.not to mention the dope beat.

[Tanjential]

yeah, I think the beat could have been harder though. but I think it's intentionally kind of a sing songy simple beat in a mocking kind of way
