Title: Deathrow Too Gangsta For Radio
Post by: TidyKris on May 21, 2015, 03:30:38 AM
Just played that CD for the first time in years...its not a bad album to be fair. Quite a funny diss album actually.

Does anybody know who Twist from chaps and the last circle is who features on Fuck Dre?

I have no idea who that is and have only ever heard him on that one track.  I remember hearing that a lot of people assumed it was Twista because of the similarities in name and because of that Twista has had to deny it's him over the years  :D
I need to revisit the album too; it's been far too long since I listened to it.

Don't know a whole lot about him but he was 15 or 16 when he recorded that verse for "Fuck Dre". He's also white. From my understanding, he never showed up again because his mom found out who he was hanging around with and pulled the plug out that real quick.

Yeah i remember everybody thinking it was Twista at the time, i cant blame them as he does sound a little bit like him.
Infact i have just checked the CD and on the back cover he is actually featured on the track as Twista.


Ah i did not know he was white either and thats pretty funny about his mom pulling the plug on things.
I cant say i blame her really though haha!


Thanks for the info guys  ;)

That Dre'sta the Gangsta track was the one that stuck out to me the most! Still bump it, the CJ Mac track was cool the above the law song too, the first track was crazy dope too, but to me was watered down by all the disses and no talent fools making weak attempts to sound like the people they were dissing...

This compilation was way better than the compilations Death Row released during this era : Dead Man Walkin or 2002. A lot of good joints although the new DR rosters diss a lot of cats.

I still prefer the re-mixed versions of 2Pac tracks from Too Gangsta For Radio than the ones from Until The End Of Time.

Underated compilation imo.

Yeah that album was the best Deathrow release from the new era.
The 2Pac - Thug Nature version on there was the best version.

Also had tracks from Ruff Ryders & Murder Inc on there who were on fire at the time.
Kind of a good move having The Lox on a Deathrow release not too long after they left Bad Boy

Does anybody remember the letters from Snoop & Daz to Suge that were printed in the inside booklet.
Do you think they were real or bullshit?

At the very least, the penmanship matched Snoop's and Daz's REALLY well.  But the contents of Daz's letter were re-told almost exactly by Big C-Style in that interview that he did a few years ago, where Suge made a threat toward Daz's mama to Big C-Style when he visited Suge in prison.

What is the point of Daz's letter? It reads like it was written by a lawyer, but its significance is unclear to me.

The Snoop letter is funny as hell...he more or less admits to renting crips, giving them weed to hang out with him.

It was Daz's way of saying he didn't want any funk with Suge.

Yeah Daz's letter is written like it was from a lawyer or something...he is just basically saying stop making threats and talk to me if you have any issues.
