got around to it later, but that twinz album is a certified classic
Quote from: Sccit on June 11, 2019, 10:11:33 AMgot around to it later, but that twinz album is a certified classicExactly man. I kind of feel sympathy for the Twinz cause they probably didn’t make a grip off that album and yet it seemed everything was done right. It was the right sound, the right time—and at best I hope they at least didn’t lose any money off those projects.Twinz should’ve at least been gold and then “Summertime in the LBC” should have been one of those big summer jams to make Dove Shack platinum. Like other big 90’s summer jams “This DJ” or Aliyah’s “Back and Forth” Ahmad “Back in the Day” Will Smith “Summertime” Coolio’s “Fantastic Voyage”. Of course they didn’t have the charisma of a Coolio, or Will Smith, or Aliyah, but Ahmad’s jam is comparable. And they could’ve borrowed some of Snoop’s shine at the time and been able to go platinum like Warren G did. I mean let’s be honest we love Kurupt and Daz but their appeal doesn’t spread to the mainstream without that shine from Snoop. If only the Twinz and Dove Shack could’ve executed the same way.

I caught it by accident on The Show Soundtrack and bumped it summer of 96 but it wasn’t until two years later I found out the song was borrowed for the soundtrack soundtrack from an album cut from their debut

I mean people like me who are actually checking for the albums and buying unauthorized shit like Dre’s “Concrete Roots” album just cause they are desperate for that G Funk sound, meanwhile Twinz and Dove Shack albums are out unbeknownst to their most loyal fans.

Round and Round, 4 Eyes 2 Heads and Eastside LB got a lot of play on BET Rap City. Same thing with Summertime in the LBC. Only video i never saw was Jump Ta Dis. Didn’t even know there was a video for it til I found it years ago on youtube. That one got no airplay. Not sure if Dove Shack had any other videos out but didn’t see them either. I bought Twinz the day it came out. Got Dove Shack about a month later. I remember i was not impressed with Dove Shacks album but i loved Tha Twinz album from day 1.
If you read Rap Pages and the Source, you knew these albums were dropping. I live in Canada, and Much Music played Eastsode LB and Summertime in the LBC all the time. Bought Twinz a week after it dropped, Doce Shack a couple weeks late. Twinz blew me away as I immediately recognized it was really a continuation of Regulate in terms of production style. The Dove Shack album was far less consistent and I've never loved it aside from a few tracks. There second, Japanese only release is much better. I
