CLASSIC UNDERGROUND DOGG POUND
Reported by: Nino Brown

"Can't C Me" (Stream) was orginally a track with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre for the Helter Skelter album that never came to be. Then DPG wanted it on their album Dogg Food as the fist single. But somebody (I won't name names!) decided that no Dre-produced track should appear on Dogg Food (Dre also did a remix of "Dogg Pound Gangstas" that was supposed to be on the album, which never saw the light of day), so the song was pulled, therefore this is a Dogg Food leftover. Then along comes 2Pac. After spending a day in the studio listening to tracks to be included on his All Eyez On Me album, he came across 3 Dre beats he liked: "Cant C me", "BluntTyme" (originally a song with 2Pac, Dre and Rage which later re-surfaced on the Aftermath compilation featuring RBX) and "Cali Love" which was orginally a solo song for Dre's new album The New World Odor: Papas Got a Brand New Funk. "Blynt Tyme" didn't make the final cut. But...after some persuasion Pac decided to go with "Cali Love" and "Cant C Me", so he erased the DPG vocals and Dre's second verse from those respective songs. In other words, you have a truly RARE song from the once-powerful Death Row Records. If and when the original "Cali Love" (with just Dre) and "Blunt Tyme" re-surface, they will immediately become collectors items. These are no speculations, just straight up facts. Thank Tony Best for the audio.

Ground Control Records/Nu Gruv Alliance has just signed Freestyle Fellowship member Mikah 9 to a solo deal. Fellow Freestyle Fellowship member Aceyalone released his "Accepted Eclectic" earlier this year to much applause and the Fellowship is combining once again to release another album 'Temptaions'. Other Nu Gruv news, Zion I are in the process of working on their second album (first single, "Boom Bip", is out now). Substance Abuse are also working on a release through Nu Gruv, you can find out more about them here.
