I'm halfway through the interview.  I've heard him tell many of these stories before, but he's dropped some interesting info all the same, like the fact that Lil Half Dead was 213 originally

Another interesting fact- Warren and Mista Grimm had a song to Lil Ghetto boy first...Dre heard it and wanted it.

Another interview, telling us same old story with nothing new to promote?

Well, he says he's working EVERY day, but no, he didn't talk like he has an album coming. 

Says he has many songs remaining with Nate...

Also, says he JUST did a track for Kurupts album and Snoop is on the hook

More interviews than music. Drops a single every few years and nothing ever comes of it. Acts like he's getting younger.

That makes me think i've never actually heard the famous "213 mixtape" so i'm guessing there was lil half  in it ? Never released to this day that tape, kinda strange

I actually thought this was one of Warren's best interviews.  He's usually not that articulate in interviews and sometimes stutters and stumbles over himself.  I thought the interview did a pretty good job for not being really a Death Row expert like us at the forum, and seemed more like a guy who maybe just grew up listening to G Funk Era like a lot of people did, but is himself a DJ/producer so has some insight in that kind of way.

And we didn't really get much new information but we did get some extra details we may not have heard before.  It's amazing everything Warren contributed to get treated like shit at Death Row.  From the sounds of this interview The Blaxploitation Sound on the album was Warren's doing.  He basically makes it sound like those were mostly his ideas and he pulled most the samples for them.  That's pretty surprising for him to direct and influence the overall sound of the album to that extent.  I would assume Dre had to have at least let him know that was the direction he wanted, and then Warren got it, or Warren just saw Dre's reaction and new he had found the right sound.

Also, I got validation because they were given me shit on ChristheGlove's facebook a year or so ago when Glove was talking about how he produced "Stranded on Death Row" and I simply commented something like "didn't Warren do something on it" and they were like, "nah Warren didn't do shit" but then Warren states in this interview how Dre sent him to buy a lot of records for samples and one of the ones he bought they used on "Stranded on Death Row" (along with others for other songs.

Am I getting it right that he didn't do any production work for Doggystyle, but had a lot of influence on the Chronic?  Because they didn't mention anything from Doggystyle, unless I missed it?
