Why the hell did Eazy sign this corny Chippendale wannabe lookin' gigolo? Probably Jerry Heller's idea. It's a funky track doe(thanx to Dre)

Hmmm,I guess you never heard the Formula fm remix?
The Jimmy Z album is dope,it got that Niggaz4Life sound. I guess you got to be open to other shit than Hip Hop to dig it,but open your ears,give it a try. By the way,Funky Flute is the worst track on the album.


Okay homie. i just decide to listen to his album because of your post.. hope it is good. Props to your Signature : Malcolm X :

Man, there is Track called Reeperbahn  ;D ;D This is a famous Red Light District in Germany

Wow, mad props for this.  Never seen it nor heard of it.  That Jimmy Z dude is mad corny on some steven segull shit, but that music is fuckin dope.  Dre's always had a flair for integrating flutes into his music.

And just seeing the type of vid I was gonna guess around 91, then saw Dre's efil4zaggin hat so that confirmed it.  I'm def gonna check this album though.

Hah. This real american guy is always on.

I can't believer this flutist album exists. I knew dre was open minded but I didn't know eazy and jerry were so much so.

Who you guys think wrote dre's verses? I think d.o.c.

This song is banging. and dude does look corny, but maybe you would look corny to someone looking at you 16 years from now? sick flautist.

I wonder why dre didn't use him on stuff like lil ghetto boy. I suppose I should recheck my chronic/doggystyle credits(i am at work, my cds are in my room at home, can't check yet) before I say that, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Jimmy Z.

damn this vid is hilarious. dude should leave the vocals to dre.

LOL it looks like they just finished the video, eazys in same outfit I think.

where'd you get that? google?

I just went to ztribe.com and dude also is considered a great sax player and one of the best harmonica players in the world. he's also done stuff with bone thugs n harmony and barry white, as well as a bunch of rock acts I think are cool that you guys don't probably care to see named.


tight shit. yeah he still has the same look, but his newer pictures don't look as corny thankfully.

On the subject of Dre and wierd collaborations, does anybody have the track that he and Colin Wolfe done for that Disney manufactured pop group called The Party?

It would be cool to hear that.

Dre production around Niggaz4Life Era? Must check, but will proably sound more like Michelle/D.O.C/Above The law style of the time.

Last i heard Dre throwing flute whistles on his song is 'Bad intentions' with 'Knock.
