Title: Can anybody give me the breakdown on Lil C Style's career?
Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on September 13, 2014, 10:44:44 PM
In his legendary verse on "Who Got Some Gangsta Shit" (which is still possibly the best song gangsta rap ever produced) Lil C Style says the name "Swoop" at the end of his verse which actually confused me as a kid and I used to confuse him and Swoop G...

But anyway, now that Haven't You Heard came out on WideAwake I'm really seeing this dude for the great talent he was.  I always thought of Tray Dee and Bad Azz as like the stars of LBC Crew and then Techniec seemed to have that distinct high pitch voice that always caught my attention...

...but really C Style shines on Haven't You Heard.  Its made me more curious about his career or where it may have gotten off track.  Its too bad Suge blocked them from signing with Def Jam cause its like these great talents just got lost in the shuffle at Death Row.

So what's the story of C Styles career?  Y'all think "Who Got Some Gangsta Shit" was originally his vision?  He mustve been only like 18 back then judging from the Show documentary.  Then didn't he have some beef with Snoop (wasn't "My Heat Goes Boom" a C STYLE DISS) and they never reconciled (thus putting an end to his oppurtunity for any mainstream success)?? Did he have any success on the underground??  Any notable songs or albums after the death era of the mid 90's??

I thought Lil C-Style had his moments.  He was down with DPG for awhile.  He was on the track with Snoop where he dissed Death Row called "Death Row Iz Bitches" but I think once Doggy Dogg went to No Limit, he stopped fucking with him and put out a diss against him on the Death Row "Chronic 2000".  He was also dissing Snoop on "Fuck Dre".  Things quieted down after that.

He put out an independent album "Blacc Ball'd" through DPG Recordz with Daz and seemed to have linked back up with Tha Pound.  Last thing I heard from him was a diss record he did with C-Bo and AP.9 going at Dr. Dre pretty hard.  This was around 2005 or so. Big C-Style put out a statement saying he didn't agree with it and he was cool with Dre.  Haven't heard anything from him since.

Lil C-Style was one of the original members of DPG, but when they started workin' on the LBC Crew album, Snoop and Lil Style had some issues about money. Snoop always claimed that Lil C-Style destroyed the LBC Crew tapes and that's why they never could put out the album back in the days or somethin' like that. He was back fuckin' with Snoop when Snoop left Death Row though, but i guess somethin' happened again between them because he dissapeared. He and Daz never had no problems that i know of, even on "Fuck Dre" he's dissin' Snoop and then sayin' "Then i'll go smoke weed with your cousin Daz". He put out "Blacc Balled" on Gangsta Advisory Recordz/Rocc Head Recordz in 2004, i don't think it sold that well. I own the album and it has some great songs on it, but overall it ain't that good. Lil' Style always has said that he's a hustler and not a rapper. I guess that's why he's not releasing music. I think he still fucks with Daz and still lives in Long Beach. When Daz was doin' those live streams, Lil Style was in one the videos with him and they were talkin' about Lil C-Style workin' on a new album, but i haven't heard anything about it after that. Oh yeah, i think Lil C-Style said that his verses on "Easy To Be A Soldier When There Ain't No War" and "Fuck Dre" were old verses that Death Row used without his permission. I think it was the same with the "Rydaz Version" of "Bustaz" that was on Swoop G's second album. He talked about the disses in his interview with WCRydaz. I wish somebody still has that interview, maybe Styles still has it saved? Oh yeah, Snoop was dissin' Lil' C-Style and Swoop G in the original version of "Gangsta Ride", but the song never was never released on the album though. Daz was on the song too, but i can't remember if he was dissin' Lil' C-Style or Swoop G on the song. I always thought that Snoop's "My Heat Goes Boom" was about Swoop G.

...and for what project was the video "Bustaz" made for?

You seriously haven't heard "C-Style Presents 19th Street LBC Compilation"? It's one of the best West Coast compilations of all times in my opinion.

 I think he's a decent rapper and i like his album, its a shame about the whole LBC crew situaion but i think he was one of the weaker members.
 One thing that made it hard for me to respect him was what has already been mentioned.
 How you go from rapping with Snoop and dissing Suge on deathrow iz bitchez to being back with deathrow dissing Snoop?

Good info and props to everyone that posted.. a few thoughts...

-first off anybody from DPG/LBC Crew that dissed Snoop was dumb because Snoop didn't do anything but help his homies careers.  He came from the era when rappers used to believe strongly in givin back to the hood, and if you listen to the Show soundtrack he was even generous enough to accept criticism from them. 

-there's some "full album So So Gangsta" on youtube that is supposedly Daz full album from So So Def and the second track is the original "Gangsta Ride" with Daz and Snoop

-yes, I actually did have the 19th Street album several years back and still have it but its just been collectin dust, I think I slept on it because I've caught up to some nice cuts since from that album, and with the WideAwake release of Haven't You Heard I'm back listenin to those cats again so I really need to check it out again...

-I also like that chick Legacy.  I think her and Sentrelle were both cool.  I remember hearing Legacy on Bad Azz first solo she is on one of the better songs on the album.... and I've been bumpin Sentrelle and Tray Dee "Droppin Bombz" since 96

I think Lil C-Stlye is the weakest link in the LBC Crew & his flow on sounds good over the more laid back tracks like Flossin. I remember a couple years back Bad Azz was sayin that they were working on a new LBC Crew album with just him Lil C-Stlye & Techniec (rumored to be signed to Hoo-Bangin Records) but then Bad Azz had a rant about not getting beats from Warren G & that was the last we heard about the new project.

Are Big C-Style & Lil C-Stlye brothers? I've always wondered but do remember hearing about it.

I always wanted to know what the deal was with him dissing Death Row with Snoop and then doing songs against him for Death Row.  "Fuck Dre" does kind of sound like a paste job because his flow doesn't seem to mesh with the beat but who knows?

Are Big C-Style & Lil C-Stlye brothers? I've always wondered but do remember hearing about it.
No, they aren't related.  Big Style just gave him permission to use the name.

Post by: bouli77 on September 14, 2014, 08:33:09 AM
c style was dope but kinda repetitive, he had a strong presence on the microphone going for him and his style was plain and straight to the point, kinda like b-legit. he was my personal favorite in the lbc crew.

however i don't think he was the most gifted in the crew, as tray deee, techniec and bad azz are all far better lyricists and mc's.

it's a shame he didn't get to record more material and was removed from all the songs on tha doggfather but he should have been more patient with snoop instead of destroying a dat tape and beefing with him. I always liked his verses on "bustaz" (diss version) and fuck dre. I also liked his verse on death row is bitches and I always wondered about the timeline for these diss tracks. I tend to think death row is bitches was recorded in 98 when snoop founded dogghouse productions but then swoop g dropped bustaz and snoop wasn't really on bad terms with death row by 98. or it could be a response to death row's disses to snoop on chronic 2000 and too gangsta for radios but that would mean c style is actually featured on both ends, lol. it could be credible if c style's verses were indeed pasted, maybe that's what led c-style to record the song "death row is bitches" with snoop, anyway it's not really clear. also on the independent game dvd which daz put out in like 00 there's footage of Daz, Snoop, Bo Roc, Tray Deee, Lil C Style and I think Big Style in the street and so it would mean Snoop and Lil Style were on good terms when it was recorded (i'm guessing between 98 and 00), but then again daz was supposed to have fallen out with snoop by that time so it might be early 98.

you have to keep with these diss songs though, these rappers are fickle as fuck lol.

Death Row Iz Bitches was definitely recorded way before Too Gangsta ever came out.

http://www.youtube.com/v/d7XJ_W4YD-o

It took 10 years from 1994 when lil c style made his debut,
To release his first and only solo album on daz's "gangsta advisory"
Indy label in 2004, and it's been another 10 years since then today,
With no new material released. I think it would be safe to say he's retired from rap

Swoop G and Snoop had beef dating back to 1995, as Swoop said, he "bruised his chin, at the video shoot for the Twinz" which by all accounts I have heard is true. Not sure what their beef was about, but Swoop was always a loose cannon and chances are he just lost it on Snoop over something. Swoop G IMO had the most talent out of all of the lesser known Dogg Pound members, maybe even more so than Bad Azz and Tray Deee. Swoop G's old material is some classic shit, he just happened to be blackballed after he got into it with Snoop. I also know that the beef between Swoop and Snoop was so strong that Swoop G and Daz got into repeated fist fights at the Death Row offices, so much to the point that they really never had them both their at the same time because it was always out of hand.

If you're from LB, and you have beef with Snoop, you're not going to last, period. As for Lil C-Style, he is NOT related to Big C-Style, but they are very close and I've seen them together in person several times over the years. As far as I know, Lil C-Style did have a falling out with Snoop in 96, got back with him in 97, recorded "Death Row Is Bitches", and then when Snoop went to No Limit, Lil C-Style began dissing him. Snoop had NOT signed with No Limit yet when he did "Death Row is Bitches."

Lil C-Style never fully elaborated on why he started dissing Snoop again in 98, but it probably has something to do with A) Snoop not really ever including him on projects, B) being very close with Swoop G over the years, and C) Death Row cutting him checks.

I also know Lil C-Style re-used the verse on "Easy to Be A Soldier" multiple times, but it was not a copy and paste. Words here and there are different, so he always re-recorded it. And "Fuck Dre" was definitely not a copy and paste, as they were all in the studio together when that track was made.

Good information.. as I was also curious about Swoop G (especially since I actually had him mixed up with C-Style from when I was a kid)....

....but on the real that "Easy To Be A Soldier" track was garbage.  It's like once you lose Snoop's blessing not only do you lose any of your commercial potential but even the music loses its soul as well

props, nice post

as for Swoop G, he's obviously talented but I wouldn't rate him as high as tray deee and bad azz. but he has a dope voice and a few classic guest appearances. his two albums are very good too. any info on that 2pac track with 2 Scoops from the dove shack btw ? world don't take me personally ? did they record it together or did he manage to get pac vocals and put him and scoop on the track ?

you're right about "you're not lasting" if you have beef with Snoop, just look at Daz when he had beef with Snoop. the only person to survive this career wise was Crooked I and that's cause he's so ridiculously good that he was able to branch out from strictly west coast gangsta shit.

world don't take me personally was a remix


the original is called "Po Nigga Blues" and was made by 2pac and The Governor back in '92 or '93.  Gov ended up selling the acapella verses after Pac died and one of them wound up on the Swoop G track and the other on a 3x Krazy song (Gov was managing 3x Krazy at the time)

Luni Coleone Presents Anger Management shits all over it! And thats not just me being San Diego biased.

Mack 10 alone has presented 2 compilations that are arguably better.

C-Style's other compilation "Straight Outta Cali" was better.

It's crazy to look back now and think about how much talent was coming out of Long Beach back in the early and mid-90's, I don't know what the fuck they were puttin in the water at the time, but mutherfuckers were gifted....

You have the cats that went solo, or had successful albums, and probably made a living off of hip-hop, off the top of my head that would be...

Snoop
Warren G
Daz
Bad Azz
Tray Dee (had success with the Eastsidaz album and even had a deal with Sony)
Goldie Loc (although he was late to the party I bet he has a house and cars paid for just off the Eastsidaz albums)

...................................

But then you have a whole gang of lesser tier cats that were also really talented.  At the time they might've been looked at as just Snoop's homies.  Like honestly, some of the people 2pac put on weren't really all that talented...but the cats Snoop was puttin on and other dudes out the LB had maad talent, check some of the names of these rappers that probably never made a living off of rap, but really had some serious talent

The Twinz  (their album didn't sell, but is a classic in the minds of many)
The Dove Shack (the album was a bit sloppy and didn't sell much, but they got some classic joints and a lot of people still love that album)
Crooked I  (Every project he has done has flopped but nobody can deny his talent.  Maybe he has made a living off of hip-hop but his money must be coming from shows cause it sure as hell ain't comin from albums)
The 5 Footaz  (They actually had a video even and a single from the Set It Off soundtrack, they contributed nicely to a few soundtracks in that era and to Warren's first solo.  Very talented females)
Techniec  (dude was signed by Mack 10, damn shame nothing really ever came of it)
C Style
Swoop
Sentrelle ("Droppin Bombz" is my jam)
Legacy - sexy and talented female






....So my point is all of these are under the Snoop umbrella, and they all were very talented in their own right.

I listened to Lil C-Styles album today & it has some great tracks on it but his lyrics are very basic & the mixing of the album is horrible.

On the intro what is the second track playing after Who Got Some Gangsta Shit & before Beware Of My Crew?

Lil C-Style sucks. Dope voice but as someone already said, dude was pretty average at best.

You seriously haven't heard "C-Style Presents 19th Street LBC Compilation"? It's one of the best West Coast compilations of all times in my opinion.

lil c style was dope and the best member of the lbc crew next to tray deee.

Geez, leave it to this forum to overrate the fuck out of everything.
that's my opinion if you don't like it fuck you.

c style was dope but kinda repetitive, he had a strong presence on the microphone going for him and his style was plain and straight to the point, kinda like b-legit. he was my personal favorite in the lbc crew.

however i don't think he was the most gifted in the crew, as tray deee, techniec and bad azz are all far better lyricists and mc's.

it's a shame he didn't get to record more material and was removed from all the songs on tha doggfather but he should have been more patient with snoop instead of destroying a dat tape and beefing with him. I always liked his verses on "bustaz" (diss version) and fuck dre. I also liked his verse on death row is bitches and I always wondered about the timeline for these diss tracks. I tend to think death row is bitches was recorded in 98 when snoop founded dogghouse productions but then swoop g dropped bustaz and snoop wasn't really on bad terms with death row by 98. or it could be a response to death row's disses to snoop on chronic 2000 and too gangsta for radios but that would mean c style is actually featured on both ends, lol. it could be credible if c style's verses were indeed pasted, maybe that's what led c-style to record the song "death row is bitches" with snoop, anyway it's not really clear. also on the independent game dvd which daz put out in like 00 there's footage of Daz, Snoop, Bo Roc, Tray Deee, Lil C Style and I think Big Style in the street and so it would mean Snoop and Lil Style were on good terms when it was recorded (i'm guessing between 98 and 00), but then again daz was supposed to have fallen out with snoop by that time so it might be early 98.

What songs was Lil C-Style supposed to be on? He wasn't on the original version of "Blueberry" or "Goldrush".

Swoop G and Snoop had beef dating back to 1995, as Swoop said, he "bruised his chin, at the video shoot for the Twinz" which by all accounts I have heard is true. Not sure what their beef was about, but Swoop was always a loose cannon and chances are he just lost it on Snoop over something. Swoop G IMO had the most talent out of all of the lesser known Dogg Pound members, maybe even more so than Bad Azz and Tray Deee. Swoop G's old material is some classic shit, he just happened to be blackballed after he got into it with Snoop. I also know that the beef between Swoop and Snoop was so strong that Swoop G and Daz got into repeated fist fights at the Death Row offices, so much to the point that they really never had them both their at the same time because it was always out of hand.

If you're from LB, and you have beef with Snoop, you're not going to last, period. As for Lil C-Style, he is NOT related to Big C-Style, but they are very close and I've seen them together in person several times over the years. As far as I know, Lil C-Style did have a falling out with Snoop in 96, got back with him in 97, recorded "Death Row Is Bitches", and then when Snoop went to No Limit, Lil C-Style began dissing him. Snoop had NOT signed with No Limit yet when he did "Death Row is Bitches."

Lil C-Style never fully elaborated on why he started dissing Snoop again in 98, but it probably has something to do with A) Snoop not really ever including him on projects, B) being very close with Swoop G over the years, and C) Death Row cutting him checks.

I also know Lil C-Style re-used the verse on "Easy to Be A Soldier" multiple times, but it was not a copy and paste. Words here and there are different, so he always re-recorded it. And "Fuck Dre" was definitely not a copy and paste, as they were all in the studio together when that track was made.


is it true that Daz was bullying enginers in the studio durig recording of R.A.W.?

according to V2DHeart who seems to have some reliable insider sources, yes, but he was apparently no the only one doing that, this was like a national sport over at death row
