hello its me again.. you know.. the negligent owner of this place.. :)
whats been going down in say.. the last 18 months or so of any note?
apart from seeing snoops latest (blah) in HMV i've missed so much.. including the dr dre dr pepper adverts n everything
please bring me up to speed!
dont bother telling me about the goings on of "website/mixtape rappers".. only people who have actually dropped at least one proper album...
unless there is something/someone extra special you think i should pay attention to..
and of course.. anything deathrow/ruthless/quik legacy related really or by the major players in the bay
and update me on leaks/releases of classic stuff :)
-
If you wanna hear some dope West Coast gangsta shit, i think you should check out Nipsey Hussle's "Bullets Ain't Got No Names" mixtapes. If you wanna hear some dope old unreleased Snoop Dogg, check out "The Lost Tapes" a mix CD that WideAwake put out and they also put out a 3 CD set called "Death Row Ultimate Box Set" that included a lot of tight, unreleased Death Row songs from Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Lil C-Style, Swoop G, Crooked I and others.

Yeah, it's finally great to hear all these songs in CDQ. There's a rare version of "Natural Born Killaz" with Sam Sneed on it on the CD, but it's messed up. It's slowed down, i have no fuckin idea why though, but somebody sped the song up and made it the way it's supposed to be. I'll up it, if you wanna hear it.
-
presume we are just talking about west coast stuff?
the only newish album i would call must buy due to timeless production would be quik & kurupt's blaqkout. a few crappy moments but the best tracks are classic.
that latest DPG was pretty good too...'That Was Then This Is Now'. and the latest Souls of Mischief LP 'Montezumas Revenge' 8)
i can throw out a lot more stuff in terms of individual tracks and non-westcoast albums if that's any use 8)
-
non west coast is cool too :)
have got blaqkout.. nothing stood out to me

the royce album was kind of hit and miss but i include it because it had some really sick joints on it...a few with premo for example...
crooked was kinda internet only...limited physical release too though i think. short but sweet. it has this CLASSIC west coast sounding track called 'shoulda made a phone call' which is just 8) 8) 8)
the canibus/keith murray i was feeling being a huge keith murray fan. but with eric sermon doing the beats for it...shit was very nice 8)
the not convinced otherwise list are all ones i would consider very solid listens. pm me for any previews...
-
u should also get Horseshoe G.A.N.G. - Gangsta MC
-

Crooked I - Pigface Weapon Waist EP
Royce Da 59 - Street Hop
Oh no, he didn't!
Royce was on his way to falling off, but after he went into business with Slaughterhouse, he's been killing everything he's on, very rejuvenated.
Definitely recommend Street Hop, it's 90% class and 10% filler..
I've made a full length LP out of the Crooked EP, with the best of Crooked the last year or so, just CDQ and NO DJ of course.
Did the same with the Clyde Carson EP, turned into a full length LP, which proved very popular on Dubcc.. one of the best "newish" acts on the West, imo.
From the last 6-8 months or so, I recommend these:
Alchemist-Chemical_Warfare-2009-H3X
Capone-N-Noreaga-Channel_10-2009-H3X (If you're a fan of CNN, at least..)
Clipse-Til_The_Casket_Drops-2009-FTD
Clyde_Carson-Bass_Rock-2009-CR (Peep this thread (http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=236734.0), I made a full length CD out of his EP, West coast dopeness)
Crooked I-PigFace WeaponWaist-2009 (Peep this thread (http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=236365.0) to see what a full Crooked LP SHOULD look like..)
KiD_CuDi-Man_On_The_Moon_The_End_Of_Day-2009-H3X (Pretty chill alternative chill-hiphop, lol)
Method_Man_And_Redman-Blackout_2-2009-H3X
Raekwon-Only_Built_4_Cuban_Linx_Pt_II-2009-FTD
Royce_Da_59-Street_Hop-2009-P2P
Slaughterhouse-Slaughterhouse-2009-H3X
Albums from 2009 that didn't really meet the hype or my expectations: B-Real, Busta Rhymes, Blaq Poet, Jadakiss, M.O.P., Saigon, Tash, Warren G, Canibus/Keith Murray, Horseshoe Gang, Rakim, Snoop Dogg, KRS & Buckshot.
All these albums range from decent/mediocre to horrible, but there's a couple or a bunch of good tracks on all of them, especially Blaq Poet, M.O.P., Tash, Rakim & Krs/Buckshot are decent.
Efforts from Daz, Kurupt & Snoop isn't really worth mentioning at all..
I guess you've heard the new Self Scientific single, DJ Khalil is everywhere these days, you should check the Khalil C.V. in the Vault & spot, lots of info & hook-ups.
-
u got to give slaughterhouse a go. u do know its crooked i, royce da 5'9, joel ortiz & joe budden?
-
Seriously. if it happened in the 18 months or so and i didn't see it on the shelves on HMV by chance i don't know.

Bo roc has his solo album out since few dayz "my music my soul". It sounds very dope, you can order it on rochousemusic.com.

After a long time where all the DPG members kept saying stuff like "he's still recovering that's a long process blabla bla.." Warren G said concrete stuff 2 or 3 months ago: Nate still doing recovery at the hospital, he has to learn back every basic human movements, the biggest progress he made is that he can lift his head up alone. Unfortunately we can't expect a come back soon. News are pretty hard to get, i understand now because there isn't much to say. Warren visit Nate Dogg when he wants to. And Nima has a fredwreck interview in his vault where apparently fred talks about how nate's mom is taking care of him.
Tray Deee still in jail, he said snoop called him. " i enjoyed a nice warm conversation with snoop" (5/6 months ago) and they burried the hatch.

Game back with Aftermath, Bishop Lamont was dropped.
