Title: for those that dont know......T.W.D.Y
Post by: Rudki on July 09, 2004, 02:15:09 AM

I hardly ever see this short lived group and their albums discussed, so I thought i'd make a topic..

The Whole Damn Yay (t.w.d.y) is Ant Banks, Rappin 4 Tay, Captain save em'

There first release was..

(http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd800/d879/d87967f4c3i.jpg)

featured Mac Mall, Too Short, B-Legit, Spice 1, Keak Da Sneak, Mac Shawn, J-Dubb, CJ Mac, Poohman,Grip, E-40..

after that 4tay left the group for some reason, and Dolla Will replaced him...

then this bangin CD came out

featured Too Short,  B legit, Harm, Kurupt, J-Dubb, Big Hutch (from Above The Law), Butch Cassidy, WC, Kokane, MC Eiht, Knumskull, Yukmouth, Dru Down, CJ Mac, Goldy, Baby DC, EA Ski, King Tee & more..

anyway, so if you aint peeped either release I suggest u do if you like that bay area shit, and if you have heard it what did you think was the better release, fave tracks etc

Got the first album - some nice tracks on there, my favourite's probably 'Cross Me Up'. 'Players Holiday' is alright too, but a bit corny with that Bill Wither's sample.

Never heard the second album - what's it like?

The second album to me is kinda better, both are bangin though......2nd one has better, cleaner beats and much better guests....I've looked for the OG for about 2 years now whenever im out, been to oxford streets HMV and they always have like 10 copies of this CD............all edited versions though  ???

Yeah, all the copies of the second one I've seen have been edited. I'll keep my eyes peeled though ;D

Playas Holiday is a true westcoast classic IMO, real nice laidback g funk... Derty Werk is pretty good album, but Playas Holiday is the only classic cut on it..

I got both albums.  Lead The Way is tighter though.  Tight Ant Banks production.

I really hope he releases something soon.
