1. Suge Knight letting Dr. Dre leave instead of cleaning up Death Row.

2. Sugar Hill Gang Records refusing to change with times and not signing LL Cool J, who was the cornerstone of the now bigger than Hip-Hop Def Jam Records.

3. Death Row again not putting out Healter Skelter.

4. Ruthless Records fucking over Dr. Dre, costing them their head producer and hit maker.

5. Antra letting Kurupt go to Tha Row, as a rising label just got shut down.

Good one about Suge.  I remember Suge thought he had 2pac and didn't need anyone else. Yo, think about that, at one time, the Row used to have Dre, 2pac, Snoop, all on the same label making music together.  They were "untouchable."

I dont understand this one.  Bitch Please was a huge hit--it wasnt the first single, but what difference does it make?

1. Priority fuckin over Ras Kass

2. Death Row not releasing Nate Dogg's album when "Regulate" was hot

3. Death Row not releasing Lady of Rage's album when "Afro Puffs" was hot

4. LA Confidential/Elektra pushing back Knoc-Turn'al, even though he had an album ready and the video was topping countdowns

5. Suge Knight kicking Orlando Anderson in Vegas (if Suge never got involved, he wouldn't have gone to jail, which means Daz, Kurupt, Snoop, etc. would have stayed longer than they did)

about Dre/Cube "Helter Skelter" project.  I would have put that on my list, however the album was never completed.  Only like 4 or 5 tracks were done before Cube and Dre had enough with it.

1.Atlantic Records: For letting Puff Daddy & A druged out Jimmy Page Fuck up One of his classic's "Kashmir"..lol

2.Elecktra records: For letting Jay-Z destroy "Five to One" by the Doors.

3.Aftermath/Interscope: For putting King Tee's carrer in limbo by fuckin' over his lp. (Thy Kingdom come)

4.Record Label's wit' Eastcoast dick in their mouth.....sharing the dick wit' newbies (After Doggystyle hip-hopper's) who think the only music out there is what they see or hear on Radio or Mtv.

5.Def Jam: Fuckin' up the carrer's of several West coast artist's in the heat of the 90's G-funk grind.

1. Ice Cube getting fucked over in NWA, forcing him to leave the group
2. Technique (this guy should have a few albums out by now)
3. Death Row not releasing Helter Skelter, even as an EP (I would have paid a double CD price for that)
4. Tray Deee (yeah he's about to release a solo CD but didn't he have one done for Epic back in 96?)
5. Death Row splitting with Dre

Infinite, "Summertime..." was released as a single, Bomb Drop was the b-side.

peace,

Im a just do the 5 most fucked up things in hip hop
1.Tha D.O.C. losing his voice. If he had released an album during after the chronic (dre produced) then peeps would talk about him like Ra.
2.Priority records fucking over Ras Kass.
3.Aftermath for never releasing Thy Kingdom Come. Shake Da Spot would've blown the fuck up and brought the west back.
4.Alchemist selling Home Sweet Home to jadakiss. Alchemist and Ras Kass is like a match made in heaven and now we ain't likely to hear it happen apart from bootlegs of this track.
5.The whole ruff ryders, murder inc and all shitty east coast commercial thug shit. Fucking whack ass production and even worse emcees. They all need to get fucked up the ass by a blue whale or some shit.

im a doors fan myself...and i think that Jay-Z did justice to the song...it fit the premice of what he was saying pretty well...and the wails of jim morrison made it all the better...but true Five To One was a much better jam...i still bang that song....

Is it official? I heard Kurupt is still on Antra and that they dont intend on letting him go. He is like a vice president or some shit on the row. If he releases anything on the row its gonna have to be under the name Young Gotti.
