How many artists released more than one album on Death Row?  Snoop and Pac?  That's it.  And Pac's was posthumously.  Not counting the later 'unauthorized' releases Death Row did for people no longer with the company.

So if you really think Warren G would have been able to release multiple albums under the Death Row banner, you are sorely mistaken.

No I definitely don't think that.  I said, "imagine".  And also, I said it would have been nice if on the strength of being brothers with Dre, best friends with Snoop, step brothers with Dre, the guy who brought in Kurupt, work on first 3 Death Row releases, etc... they would have just given clearance for the artists to work on Warren's first two albums.

Because remember the single "What We Go Thru" could've had its proper jump off for the album if Dogg Pound was on the song and video.  I loved the song anyway but it's just another level with Dogg Pound

And I'm gettin the feeling you were a big Coolio fanboy in the day because you keep coming back to wanting to compare him in some way with Warren G.

Warren G's first 3, and possibly four albums were all superior to anything Coolio has done in his career.  Coolio had  one monster singles, 2 or 3 big singles, had style, charisma — underground respect from his Maad Circle Dayz

But you doin too much to keep hinting that there is some kind of comparison here.  The only one is who was a bigger star in 94 and 95 in the sense of crossover appeal from mainstream hits.  But anything else is off the table for discussion/comparison
