Nice to see Knoc try and come back with a proper debut.  Who produced the first single?  Any word if Dre will still be involved?

Shit this song is hot!  Much better than that PoP Manufactured Wanna Be track, "The Knoc."

I like how he starts off and incorporates the history of the West through out his song.

Knoc feat. Dr.Dre & Missy
Str8 Westcoast
Bad Intentions feat. Dr.Dre

vs.

Peepin Tom

= As big of a Knoc-Turn'al-fan I am, I realize that Knoc may have lost his boat for commercial success..
All the 3 above-mentioned are super-hits when compared to Peepin Tom..

knoc isnt looked at as a great emcee...but i think hes pretty talented...hes pretty creative...like Cash Sniffin Noses how he incoporates all those cities from southern cali as hoes...and Peepin Tom how he incoporates virtually any major track that was important to the west coast....i love Peepin Tom...it was better than Knoc...and Str8 Westcoast easily...Bad Intentions wasnt even his jam...he didnt even really have a verse....i just think its right for the first single...its too west coast...its not coo anymore to be proud of the west...shit like that will be slept on...but if someone makes a Welcome To ATL jam or a jam all out Queens it gets love...damn the politics in the rap industry

Yeah, it's perfect for any Westcoast-fan..
But I can't see it help sell the album, it's not MTV-material..
I still think that there's a future for Knoc, he's very creative..

One of last year's most anticipated releases was the debut album from Knoc-Turn-Al, "Knoc's Landin." The album was pushed back due to excessive bootlegging and eventually scrapped in favour of the 6 track EP, "L.A. Confidential Presents : Knoc-Turn'al." Well in May of this year westcoast fans can finally expect Knoc to release his first full length debut. Knoc spoke to The Source and had this to say : "Now it's The LP...people was mad at the EP cause it was short, so I'ma give them what they want, The LP"

Last year's release was set to include some big name guest appearences and some of the best behind the boards! Fans will be pleased to hear that this release looks set to be the same, as Knoc revealed : "[For The LP] I got production from Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Warren G, and Scott Storch as well as myself and Nate Dogg...expect growth, I grew and elevated with the type of music I'm trying to deliver"

You can also look out for Knoc-Turn'Al to have a song for a Sprite commercial with LA Laker, Kobe Bryant, which is due to drop in the spring.

supposed to be released in August

Fatt Entertainment Signs Knocturnal, Cam'ron for Hip-Hop Porn Videos
                 By: Dan Miller
                 5-25-2003            
                           
CHATSWORTH, Calif. ? Fatt Entertainment, the company behind Ice-T's hot-selling Pimpin' 101, has signed rap stars Knocturnal and Cam'ron for two new hip-hop porn videos.

Fatt Entertainment will shoot Knocturnal's sexed-up record release party in June at a location in Malibu, while Cam'ron's video will also be framed around an X-rated party.

Knocturnal, a prodigy of heavyweight rap producer Dr. Dre, is releasing a new record in August that he will cross-promote along with his first adult video. Knocturnal's friends, Warren G. and Nate Dogg, are also expected to be in the project.

Fatt Entertainment partner Al Thornton told AVN.com Friday that Knocturnal plans to make three original songs for the soundtrack, which will also include other well-known rap artists. Fatt Entertainment is coming off the heels of the high-profile Ice-T release that has sold more than 30,000 units in the past two months through IVD, which distributed the title.

"We are going to be the top hip-hop/sexumentary company in the business," Thornton said. "That's our goal."

Fatt Entertainment, which is owned by four adult industry veterans with over 60 years of combined experience, also plans to begin releasing one hardcore title a week in between its major hip-hop projects, company partners Todd Blatt and general manager Jon Blatt said Friday.

The company is already building its library and is planning to begin a full release schedule late in the summer.

Todd Blatt said that Antigua Pictures, which co-produced Pimpin' 101, would continue to serve as Fatt's foreign agent and partner for all its future productions. He said that Pimpin' 101 is being heavily promoted by street teams and has arrived in Virgin Megastores and Wherehouse locations, increasing sales figures.

The soundtrack for Pimpin' 101 will be available on June 16 from Ryko/WEA.

Post by: Tha_Reverend on May 31, 2003, 12:37:04 AM
tight.  I wasn't really feeling "THE LP"  just sounded wack.    Knock's Life is way better cause it's more personal.  THE LP was just a stupid name.  now Knoc can have an album name of his own to be remembered by.  



thanks lil Jay for the news.  I know you are a reliable source.  props
