Title: Tray Dee was the only old West Coast gangsta rapper that didn't sound played out
Post by: TraceOneInfinite on March 27, 2008, 06:50:27 AM: It's kind of funny I saw the title of Jayo Felony's new album is "Still Trued Up" and I was just thinking it kind of seems silly when these gangsta rappers present this lifestyle on record that they live young, fast, and hard; and everything else, and then... 10 years later they still try to come out with records acting like they are still as "bad" as they were in 1993.. See the Dogg Pound for the best example of this.

Anyway, Tray Dee was the only rapper I felt really came off authentic in his role as an O.G. and it didn't matter that the dude was nearly 40 talking about bangin, because he brought that old mature gangsta style that was all his own.

Post by: Okka on March 27, 2008, 06:58:10 AM: Yeah, he was a true gangbanger (that's what i've heard), alot of the Dogg Pound wasn't. But there was a couple other members too that was real bangers. As a rapper Tray Deee was great, i ain't never really heard a wack verse from him. One of my favourite rappers of all times.

Post by: D~Nice on March 27, 2008, 07:16:40 AM: Yeah I never heard a Tray Deee verse that I thought was ehh or weak. And he really brought it lyrically on the Eastsidaz albums.

Post by: Allgold on March 27, 2008, 09:12:22 AM: He had a dope verse on that "Lay Low" song produced by Dre. Master P had a pretty surprisingly decent verse....

That cover for "The General's List" was a little odd.

I beleive he got sentenced to 12 years in 2005....
so that would probably be 2017 but you know they never give you an exact date...

Post by: MY FIRST LOVE WAS HIP HOP on March 27, 2008, 03:33:36 PM: ^^ They say Snoop own Tray Deee money, and Tray even shot up Snoop's house.. Dont quote me on that though!

There is a really good article from the source or something, where Tray Deee goes in depth about his incarceration, and how it all went down. Anybody seen it? Ill see if i can find a link
