But back in the day i downloaded another version with a different tracklisting which was touted as songs from the DPG Records release that Daz scrapped but was probably some fan made compilation
01. Baby Let's Roll
02. Down Wit Us
03. P.I.M.P. (Paper In My Pocket)
04. Smokin' On Dro (feat. Daz Dillinger)
05. Watching You
06. California Liscense Plates (feat. E. White)
07. Good Ol Music

dubcnn.com: What happened with the Twinz CD, is it still gonna happen.
I seen the Twinz out there, I don't really know man. I can't push nobody to do nothin, but I'm definitely down with them, I be seein' them. But it's all about they ain't really finished to do all the songs they wanna do. I was just gone put out a maxi single out, what you think about that?
dubcnn.com: That sounds cool, atleast get something out, you know.
Atleast get something out on 'em, huh.. I feel you. But if I press the single up, I need to press the whole album up, you know?
dubcnn.com: I feel you, it don't make no sense to put out a single without a record following.

Can u upload it, please?

Background history of Tha Twinz.
For those that dont know, The Twinz, known individually as Wayniac & Trip Loc, are a westcoast rap duo from the Eastside of Long Beach, in the LA county, California. The same place where Snoop Dogg was born and raised. The Twinz went to high school together with Snoop Dogg at Poly High, long beach, and has been homeys with snoop since. They first started rappin in the late 80's with a group called "Perfection" , with other longbeach rappers Domino, Foesum (Dj Glaze, T-dubb, MnMsta). The Twinz are first cousins to T-dubb from Foesum, and former doggystyle records artist from longbeach E-White. In the early 90's (1992-1993), they were hangin with snoop and warren G in the begining of deathrow records, as part of snoop's entourage. The twinz can be seen with cameos in the film clip to dr dre's "Lil Ghetto Boy" song in 1992, off dr dre's chronic album released by deathrow records. Warren G later formed own label "G funk music" , and signed a deal with Def jam to release his debut album "Regulate G funk era" . Warren was initially going to released his debut album on death row, but was told that his album would come out once a whole bunch of other death row artists release their albums first, so he didnt want to wait so long to release his album, so thats why he inked that deal with def jam. Warren G then signed the twinz as his artists on his Gfunk music label, and were featured on warren G's debut album in 1994 "Regulate g Funk era" . The next year in 1995, The Twinz release their debut album "Conversation" on warren G's gfunk music label through def jam. The album was all produced by warren g , except 1 track which was produced by soopafly. The Twinz featured on a track from death row records in 1996, with snoop dogg and daz dillinger, titled "Too high (poly high) , which ended up being released on "death row's snoop doggy dogg - greatest hits" in 2001. The Twinz were featured on warren's second album on def jam, "take a look over your shoulder (reality)" in 1997, and the twinz were to release their second album in 1998 on def jam, which was rumored to be titled "Ringers" , but the album never came out.
In 2000, the twinz was featured on a track off snoop dogg's eastsidaz group album, which they were known as "tha locs". In 2003 & 2004, the twinz were featured on a bunch of tracks with snoop dogg , on his "welcome 2 tha chuuch" series of mixtapes. In 2008, the twinz were featured on snoop dogg's compilation "Christmas In Tha Dogghouse" released as a digital album sold on Itunes. In 2009, The Twinz were featured on another compilation of snoop dogg's, called "bacc to tha chuuch" , which was also released digitally through Itunes. Also in 2009, the twinz released in EP that was released digitally, and was also titled "tha loccs" , but with "snoop dogg presents" in front of it, and was produced all by Niggarachi, which is snoop dogg's alias as a producer. The Twinz are also members of the dogg pound crew/family (DPG/DPGC)

so essentially, there are 3 albums
the dpg records twinz album, which was shelved before release
and the doggystyle records twinz ep ... which was produced by snoop under his niggarachi production moniker, right?
damn shame .. they now work at snoops store in inglewood .. they were supposed to be on rbx's latest album but didn't have anywhere to record and we didn't have the time n patience to go scoop them up

Thanks for linking these, mostly new shit for me. Been bumping U Know Wjat or Do for a few years; classic sound Twinz track

Anyone remember Snoop posting a Twinz snippet a few years ago in his Instagram? It was only 30 seconds or so but sounded incredible
-
Wish someone would dig up their true sophomore album off G-Funk Records title "Ringers" that was supposed to be released in 97. Dunno what happened with them and Warren, but their album got shelved and Warren never did much with them after that.

I've been on the lookout for the Program song ft Snoop & E-White that was on the We Da West Vol 1 mixtape without any tags and higher quality if anyone has?

I love to play the Twinz (Conversations) and Dove-Shack (This Is the Shack) albums one after the other, real smooth wave G-Funk to play on bright sunny summer days.
Both droppin in 1995, both affiliated to Warren-G and the G-Funk era...94's Regulate being the daddy album.
-

It was on a release sheet for upcoming releases from GFunk records back in the day, so I would suspect there was at least some material recorded for it to get that far as to being advertised. But as far as any concrete proof, i haven't seen any. Someone a while ago claimed to have a connection to get it, but of course they wanted big money to do so. Who knows if there was any truth to that or it was a scammer.

and i'm assuming it was (to be) produced by warren?

Yes. The Five Footaz album got shelved too, but someone was able to get a hold of that and bootleg it back in the day. So there could be some truth to a Twinz album out there somewhere. If it were Pac or Dre or someone big, the usual suspects would've been all over looking for it. Not sure how much effort has been made to locate the album, considering the amount of money someone would stand to make by bootlegging it would be minimal. There hasn't been a lot of Warren G leaked stuff from around that time either, so that stuff must be pretty locked down. I'm sure there are songs from his early 3 or 4 albums that didn't make the cut that are out there.

That HOBO track is so smooth 8)
On a side note, when I was younger I always thought Warren G produced the majority of the Dove Shack's first album and was surprised when I realised he only produced one track. Anyone know the reason why when it was released on Warren's label and that he would have been the reason for their exposure?
