Abdul-Infinite presents West Coast hip-hop trivia.. 3 questions.. winner gets..

[TraceOneInfinite]

Winnner gets nothing... but still, a couple of these are extremely obscure trivia questions, so anybody that gets this gets major props from me.


1.  What was origionally going to be the first single off of the Dogg Food album?  Hint:  Kurupt reported that this song would be the first single during his appearance on BET's Rap City.

2.  What name did Dr. Dre origionally want to use for his record label that is now known as Aftermath?  Hint:  This name was already being used by a Bay Area rap group, Dre offered a large sum of money for the rights to it, but they wouldn't give it up.

3.   What was the deal that DOC accepted in signing with Rutheless records?  Hint:  What was specifically offered to him in the contract that he signed with Ruthless records?

Damn man.. that's no fun when I post up trivia and you come on and answer 1 minute later.  So I'm going to have to be really strict, and I'm not going to give you the third question right even though you pretty much got it.  As for the first question, it's possible that song may have been an option, but I'm going off of what Kurupt said when he was the guest on Rap City back in 1995. 

I'm going to give my sources for the trivia when ya'll get it right.  My source for question #2 was the Source, Source magazine that is, 1996 summer issue with Dre on the cover talking about walking away from Death Row Records, I still have that issue, I consider it a collectors item and a peace of memorabilia I'd never give away, that's my favorite Source issue of all-time.

[TraceOneInfinite]

by the way, Overseer, how did you know the answer to #2?

[Don Seer]

Ronin Ro's book about Death Row.. he used to work for The Source too...

anyone could find it on this forum itself.. all have been discussed here before.


Show Shit.. i only know about because i have a radio station clip from the same show where they previewed the LBC Crew tracks that are floating around..


ps..

It was a rolex   ?

The D.O.C. also got a gold chain from Eazy lmao at gettin a watch and a gold chain for givin up publishing worth millions and millions of dollars

[Don Seer]

bingo... As Suge puts it in the documentary The Show "He gave away his rights for a watch and a mothefuckin chain, and it was written in the contract like that saying, a watch and a mothafuckin chain"...... by the way, it was also in Ronin Ro's book.

2 down, 1 to go.  2 and 3 have now been answered.  But still, I'm looking for a different answer for the first question about the first single off the Dogg Food album.

[Don Seer]

so just after the song on rap city.. i dunno..


they made 2 videos... Lets Play House and NY, NY

they put out 3 (i think) 12"s..  the same 2 again and another i cant recall right now



I know NY, NY was shown on Rap City by the DPGs during the east+west stuff.. so i'll say its that one

[Soopafly DPGC]

It was RESPECT.  They had a radio edit with all new lyrics and everything.

[Suga Foot]

Wasn't "Can't C Me" supposed to be the first single?

[Juronimo]

It was RESPECT.  They had a radio edit with all new lyrics and everything.

I'd go with Respect too. 92.3 the beat and Power 106 both had Respect on rotation.

can't see me

Wasn't there also one where they were riding in a white bronco?

I remember big pimpin talking to snoop, then kurupt busted out of a bar. I don't remember what song it was for, but I remember that video vividly.
