To the people with Death Row knowledge (Chronic era question)

[tonyscarbones]

I remember back in the day picking up the source mag when it was still good.  This issue had Dr.Dre on the cover with a gun to his head and it was a little before the Chronic came out.  They were talking about a song called Mr.Officer and they printed the chorus for it.  The chorus is the same from the Geto Boys Crooked Officer song.  Did Death Row give the track to the Geto Boys?  Anyone know the story?

So what's the hook ?

no idea...

3 things though..


1) remember bushwick bill is on The Chronic

2) mellowman posted that the song was played in some documentary about the LA Riots (maybe why it didnt end up on the album after all?)

3) didn't michel'le kinda remake it on the chronic 2000 album death row put out? at least thats what i heard...

[tonyscarbones]

the hook was the same as the geto boys crooked officer

mr.officer,mr.officer, i wanna put your ass in a coffin sir

[Don Seer]

no. the michelīle track has a " mr officer, mr officer, I don't wanna be layin in a coffin, sir" hook.
the hook from the og mr officer cut was "mr officer, mr officer, i wanna see u layin in my coffin, sir"

The guy who started this thread said that they printed the chorus or somethin'...

[Wild_Elmo]

First thing I thought of was Bushwick being on The Chronic. Make the connection.
