Title: Anyone got ideas for dubcnn articles?
Post by: Don Seer on December 03, 2003, 03:38:01 AM
We've had quite a few people apply, but I think pretty much everyones stuck for subjects to cover... so i figured.. why not ask you guys for ideas :)


i kinda broke it down into 3 categories, but with no specifics

1) retrospective. educational stuff to cover whats/whens/hows of previous events, artist profiles that kinda thing.

2) speculative. about current situations/moves and their consequences

3) other (ok i'm at work, i forget this one right now. lol)


ideas? :)



mine..

i'd really like one about ras kass's history, up to and including his current situation. possibly in two or three parts

An artist's profile...so you mean something like a biography? If yes, I'd like to write one of Tupac. If that's okay with you.

And what exactly to do you mean with "educational stuff"? Can you be more precise?

one of pac would be cool.. but its kinda been done to death.. ya know?


by educational stuff i mean things that help spread information or that help clear up misconceptions

well theres a one things i've thought of around pac... like one was looking at the "still i rise" project and talkin about what tracks were changed up for that.. ya know.. that kinda thing

what i'm hoping to do is throw all these ideas in a list and let the article writers pick the ones they're interested in if they're stuck for something to do

The "Welcome To Death Row" DVD has a lot of interesting facts about the rise (and fall) of Death Row Records. Including things about Kenner, Harry "O", former employees,...

how bout an article chronicalling the break up of the DPGC, starting with Kurupt rejoining Death Row.  A LOT of shit has happened in west coast rap because of that move

the history of dope songs that are redone/covered/sampled

for the people who are snoop fans that haven't heard og versions of songs that he redid, such as vapors, all the george clinton/parliment songs.

or MC Breed f/ DFC - ain't no future in your frontin and dre dog - alcatraz have the same beat  ??? or at least I think.  sounds very similar.

anyway I know a lot of g-funk samples a lot of old funk and some songs get sampled a ton.  It would be cool to know about those songs and know a few of the best songs that sample it.
