Yes. The boycott has been launched.
This is only the 2nd time Tech has officially boycotted a west coast album. The last one was Da Game is to be sold....
I refused to buy that album. After 5 years, last year I finally bought it, only for collection purposes.
It is with a sad face that Tech boycotts this 213 joke as well. This is an album that Tech has been waiting for since he was a young devil bumpin his doggysyle cassette. This was an album that Tech was rubbing his hands anxiously for.
I havent heard any of the leaked tracks. I havent heard the retail. Havent even heard the first single. Based on principle alone, I refuse to own this cd in any shape or form. I consider this album a contaminating substance, not allowed to be placed next to my cds.
A 213 album with no Warren production is a man with no dick, God damn it.
*signs boycott papers*

*turns to WCC like crackhead from Half Baked after quittin his record store job*
WHO'S WITH ME? CMON.
WHO'S WITH ME?

Come on man, at least download the damn thing before you knock it. Its not what I expected, and its not as good as it should have been, but its still a dope CD, on my top 3 list for the year.
-

Yeah, I know. If you haven't heard it, don't knock it.
-
Im gonna give it a listen at HMV, Im not ignorant like that. However, barring some major musical revealtion I refuse to cop this. Man, thers no Warren production. Like, i found this out months ago, and Im still in shock, this is fuckin blasphemous!!!
*bumps Streetz of LBC*
*bumps G Funk is here to stay*
-
I agree with you 100%. I boycotted paid the cost, and I'm boycotting this as well.
WHEN WILL ALL OF YOU REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT A 213 ALBUM!!! if this was a 213 album, WARREN G would produce. This is snoop featuring nate & warren. MOTHER FUCK SNOOP FOR DOING THAT. If you buy this album, you're basically saying that you agree with snoops idea to boot warren from production.
I don't agree with that, so i ain't buying the shit. nuff said.
-
Hell Jeah Hell Jeah.
I shouldve boycotted Paid the Cost, I copped that shit at HMV tuesday morning when it openned along wit Betta Dayz. Horrrible.
-
jeez... people like yall are sad, man. As if your supposed "boycott" is gonna be so popular that the news will reach Snoop, Warren and Nate, and it'll make them create a whole new album to your likings.This is probably the one and only time you'll hear these 3 together on a full LP, so cop it and enjoy it for what it is.
Believe me, I'd have loved to hear Warren do the beats as much as the next man, but I still would like to hear them spit together on their own 213 album, regardless of the production. C'mon man, get your shit straight. And then people wonder why westcoast doesn't sell... at least eastcoast fans aren't as picky
-
the album is still good.
and ya'll know im the biggest warren g fan, and i say buy this album!! its not what we all wanted , but its better than nothin. support this album, and then next time another 213 album will be guarranteed with warren g beats. just give it a chance. its still a good listen
-
Us west coast fans have been shytted on by our favourite artists for too long now. This is the final slap in the face.
-
Lol uh Im a west coast fan too, and i expected better but i mean come on i dunno why so many people hate on it, I mean after 2 full listens..its not that bad..
-
Quit hating you trick ass, bitch ass.
The albums worth the purchase.
This boycott's gonna go over as well as womens soccer in saudi arabia.
-
Too Late, already bought mine. Damn, now that's what I call dedication.

Yea, maybe thats the reason the west doesnt sell much, cuz we too fuckin picky and want everything soo perfect....oh well dope album by the way
-
I agree with Tech...I would never buy this bullshit...Warren G is better than any of the producers on the album combined, and he can't even produce his own group... :-\
-
i will get the cd on friday 8)

* puts john hancock on paper* ( no homo)
i agree with u to the highest of aggreability...i got snoop shit...unlike u...
but this...
this is like the album that shoulda been out in 94...and warren not touchin it production wise..is like quik makin a whole album without k.k from 2nd 2 none on it( he has been on every album except the weakest link b&o imo) or him jus makin a album without him producin it
i think that shit warren said about him not producin kuz he was focusin on his lyrics is ..bullshit..muhfucka got what? 4 albums out..allll produced by...warren..so he wasnt focusin on them..sumthin 2 put his name back in the game..since he been quiet..he all of a sudden wanna focus...in the famous words of shonuff " nigga please",why add sumthin 2 sumthin that dont need sumthin added 2?

I couldn't bother less if you boycot it or planned to buy every single copy.
-
Too Late, already bought mine. Damn, now that's what I call dedication.
If I had money, I'd do the samething. But now that the release date has passed, and I still don't own 213, fuck it, even after I get this job, I ain't buying it. It's over. Snoop, I got love for you, but until you put out real westcoast music, the way it should be, the way you talk about it in your interviews talking about how no one respects the west, I am not buying your hypocritical music. I will wait like a faithful boyfriend until you do, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't play with other artist... lol.
-
Tech, you should start an online petition
-
yo i aint heard this joint yet, but shit aint soundin promisin by all the shit that gettin talked on here...but imma cop the joint if i got bred, but i aint got shit currently so i cant buy no mutherfuckin joint............but i donno why y'all jus hatin on snoop for havin no warren joints on the 213 joint.........warren needs to man up
-
MK - No, snoop isn't gonna be like "damn some dudes on the internet ain't gonna buy this album, I better redo it". But I'm just saying i'm not gonna buy an album, put out by the group called 213 that doesn't have Warren's production.
I don't give a fuck if there are tight beats by other producers or not. That isn't the point. If its 213, snoop raps, nate sings, warren produces. end of story. Shit it wouldn't even have to be 100% warren production. I don't mind quik, battlecat, and maybe 1 more westcoast producer, but what they did on this album is fucking wrong.
Maybe the next 213 album we can get R. Kelly to do all of the hooks instead of nate, get as many different producers as we can and just let snoop rap. Would you "still support the west" on this one? God can you imagine how great this album would be?
-
tech you may be a dumb faghan muslim, but you're right on with this 213 boycott, i downloaded this waste of an album and i feel i wasted a couple hours of my life trying to give this a listen...im starting to think its actually worse then paid da cost which is one of the worst albums ever...i could go on and on...us westcoast fans need to take a stand and show artists(mainly snoop) that we dont support this garbage, pop sellout style he has taken....anyway i support the cause/boycott 8)
-
I wouldn't say that this album is bad, but it's not good enough for me to purchase, it's an average album.
I'll pick it up for my collection when I see it for $4.99 at the used CD shop, that goes for Paid The Cost... too, I was smart enough to listen to that first and stay away from the store.
-
C'mon its not THAT bad. You guys act like they released another "Da Game Is To Be Sold". I dont know about replay value, but it has alot of good joints. Of course its not up to their standards but everyone knows that by now
-
you got my support tech. snoop has fallen off to the point of no return. no warren g production. production by missy elliot. yea imma waste my money on that shit. they hype for this album died 3-4 years ago. This album will be lucky to go platnium. when i think about it, it will go gold eventually b/c of there is still some hype. But once word spreads how wack this shit is, sales will hit a dead end.
-
Here's how I rate the album:

213 the gangsta cliq
I don't see how everybody hates on this album? It's got some REAL nice westcoast tracks. It's got nearly no guests, and it actually came out! Thats more than I can say than a lot of other releases from the west in recent memory. Is it the best album ever? Hell no. Is it good? Yeah. Take it for what it is.
Who gives a fuck if missy elliot produced So Fly? The tracks hot. Nobody shouts out "MISSY WHAT?!!" on it, and everybody was feeling it till they found out missy did it. Quit hating.
-
lol at the people who think they are doing Warren a favour by not buying the album, he still raps on it doesn't he? He still gets a cut of the money earned from it doesn't he? He's still in 213 isn't he? He's still westcoast isn't he?
lol at ya'll acting like he gives a fuck about you.
-
I don't understand how if you don't like an album you are hating? How is that hating? is everybody just suppossed to luv the 213 album, just because of its name? the album is boring. it has absolutely no replay value. Not a single song sticks in my head and makes me wanna play it over and over. How is that hating? I don't like the album, plain and simple, no hate involved whatsoever.

Hating:
Somebody likes So Fly. They find out Missy elliot produced it and they stop liking it.
Somebody wants to take money out of the pockets of the artist by boycotting the CD without hearing a single song off the CD.
-
Everybody just download it like you do the rest of the shit you don't buy, lol. That's what I did.

*Signed!* I'm with ya Tech. Like NowIKnow said, how can one of the greatest hip-hop producers (my personal second favorite behind Dre) not even produce his own group?
I read in a Warren G interview about 3 years ago, they asked him how come he doesn't produce more for Snoop. Warren replied, "Ask him that question man, maybe he ain't feelin the work I do, I don't know!"
----I think that reveales the truth. Snoop doesn't think Warren is a dope enough producer for him. This doesn't make any sense because tracks like "Game Don't Wait" and "U Never Know" immediately come to mind, ohhh well, they ain't gettin my money, but I will try to listen to a little of it some other way just to confirm that it's wack.

Tweedle-dee started the thread, and now tweelde-dum adds his 2 cents.
This "Boycott" went over REAL well...
I called it too:
This boycott's gonna go over as well as womens soccer in saudi arabia.
-
king tech is a fag
-
LMFAO @ This fuckin lame Englewood and several other corny motherfuckers thinking this boycott was gonna be ground breaking and sweep across America on some We are the World shyt, some holding hands chain link shit, or some Vietnam protest tip.
Dont worry baby, Tech aint that powerful. I aint gonna hurt you lil girl. :-*
This is one west coast fanatic making a thread about continous disrespect to west coast fans
Dumb ass Englewood coming in here with his ratings. Didnt I say I was boycotting this out of PRINCIPLE. Just because of the FACT that G child aint even making one fuckin beat?!!?
What a chump.

C'mon its not THAT bad. You guys act like they released another "Da Game Is To Be Sold". I dont know about replay value, but it has alot of good joints. Of course its not up to their standards but everyone knows that by now
See whats up with this defeatist west coast mentality? Like we accepting half ass shyt. Its about time we say fuck that. To me, this is the last slap in the face. Cmon wheres the OG heads at?
rea;ity check
THERE ARE NO WARREN G BEATS ON A MOTHERFUCKIN 213 ALBUM???? this is unforgivable.

EXACTLY. All these people on here saying, oh this the best westcoast album this year, oh its great compared to whats been dropping lately, oh you have too high hopes, oh (insert your lame ass fucking excuse here).
yes I do have high hopes - for everything. just because the rap that comes out these days is so fuckin shitty, doesn't mean I'm just gonna start accepting the crap cause thats all that is new. Hell, if I never buy another new rap album for the rest of my life, I'd be happier than accepting the fucking bullshit these artists put out as an excuse for an album.
and here is my list of westcoast albums that dropped this year, that I think are much better than the 213 album:
Affroman - affroholic
Big Prod Presents Hood Music Vol. 1
Big Hutch - Live From the Ghetto
Cypress Hill - Till Death Do Us Part
Dialated Peoples - Neighborhood watch
Domino - Mr. Melodocious
Equipto - cigarillos
Guce and Killa Tay - Bully's with Fully's 2
KF Klik - Stay Ahead of the Game
Louie Loc Presents Power Moves
Mac Dre - Dregonomics
Mac Dre - Genie of the Lamp
MC Eiht Presents Tony Smallz
Knocturnal - The Way I am
Michelob - Don't Let the Smooth Taste Fool Ya
MnMsta - Take a Walk in My Shoes
Nutzo - In the Mind of a Nut
Planet Asia - The Grand Opening
Savage C - Smokey the Bandit
Spice 1 and MC Eiht - The Pioneers
C-Bo and Yukmouth - Thug Lords
Suga Free - The New Testament
^^^^^ all imo, much better albums than 213. Ironically, well over half those albums got hardly any attention at all on wcc. Most people who really like the 213 album on here like it because of the name. You guys are so brainwashed from it, that no matter how it turned out you would like it. Its so funny that there are people who actually call this the best westcoast album of 04. its not even close. Its not even a top 10 nominee for best album of the year. And then I'm sure to have some people call me a hater, blah blah blah, I was automatically gonna hate it cause I hate snoop, blah blah blah. Well I put Spice 1's Tha Ridah, and Bad Azz executive Desions along with the 213 album, and I'm a HUGE fan of those 2 artists. 213 album coulda been great, coulda been classic. instead it turned out to be your run of the mill avg ass millenium rap album. a huge dissapointment.
Might I add, had this same album dropped, but as brand new rappers (if you understand what I'm sayin), a good 75% of wcc wouldn't have even checked it out. and then out of the 25% that did, half yall probably wouldn't think much of it. and I guarantee NOBODY would call it album of the year. Savage C's album is a thousand times doper than the 213 album, how many of yall who are so highly praising this 213 album even checked out the Sav album?
-
I will boycott the albu too....snoop should dedicate his life to porn movie
-
Us west coast fans have been shytted on by our favourite artists for too long now. This is the final slap in the face.
damnright
I hate most westcoast artists now, they make albums that are shit and expect westcoast fans to buy it just becuase they're a westcoast artist and we gotta support them..FUCK THAT!
213 album aint that good imo...not my type of music
