Here is a portion of the interview I did with her sometime back...

Rage: I never liked Afro Puffs…

Styles: Never?

Rage: Never…. As a matter of fact, he (Dre) didn’t ask if I had anything for that beat, he TOLD me to rhyme to it. I just picked the song that I had already written and threw it on there. He was like, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it” and I was like, "What?” That’s what I like about producers like Dre. I like to be directed and guided even if I put up a little fuss or a fight. He will basically just say, “Shut up and just do it. I know what I am doing”. That was our relationship. I would go in and the beat is not even finished and I would be like, “I don’t like this. I don’t like that.” Everything with me was, “I don’t like that!” (Laughs) …He just got to the point of “Shut up and just do it” and I did it. I begged them to please take it off of the soundtrack because I felt that it would ruin my career. I thought that I needed to be on more of a “Lyrical Gangbang” or “Stranded On Death Row” type of beats. You know, hard underground EPMD type of stuff. They told me that they took it off of the soundtrack but they didn’t, and I am glad that they didn’t because we would probably not be talking right now.

the beat for Afro Puffs could've been a perfect "laid back" remix for Natural Born Killaz

anyone agree?

This guy aint no crip, and I'm 100% sure on that because he doesn't type like a crip, I know crips, and that fool is not a crip.

i spoke to Rage about that song in a recent interview and she said Dre.... she didnt even like the beat or song also and begged Dre not to release it...lol
it ended up being her only good solo joint she ever made.

What the fuck? Rage got alot of bangin solo songs...

i personally can't feel female emcees on the mic

of the ones i can stand, Storm from the outlawz has mad talent in her lyrics, Lil Kim used to sound good rapping inbetween Biggie verses, Rage was dope on Afro Puffs and G Funk Intro, but i can't say her solo album was impressive

and Dee from Boss got some dope rhymes

Daz did a hell of a job writing that song.

I agree, DAZ never got credit for a lot of his work.




Don't Waste Time Hating on Kurupt just because he gets the Appreciation that you think YOUR favorite artist deserves. You should try being more Positive about Life and Post about things that YOU LIKE instead of Whining Like a BITCH. Convert All That Hate into Positive Energy to Promote YOUR # 1 Artist.

Well... yes and no.  I heard Dre make the argument once that, if these other people were supposedly doing so much for Dre, then how come they haven't done nothing since Dre left them?   And that's a good point.  I think Daz showed some level of greatness on "Revenge, Retaliation, and Get Back", but really, that was the only work he hasn't done anything since Dre left him that could compare to the work he did underneath Dre's shadow.

Yeah most of Daz's best stuff was mixed by Dre, not a coincedence.
