and I'm pissed off as hell
Not cause the album sucks, cuz of everyone on this board who claims it sucks. This is by far the best westcoast album out this summer, and even though Warren didn't produce anything, they've done absolutely nothing wrong on this album. No guests, no producers that would remotely make it a "sellout" album. Their flows and lyrics are on par as well
All of the tracks are custom fitted to their styles. Smooth, laid back... but because some of you narrow-minded idiots don't hear the g-funk whistle, the "George Clinton" voice or DJ EZ Dick, you feel the need to trash the album and attempt boycotts (don't get me started on that ::)) IT'S 2004, BITCHES!! IS IT SO WRONG THAT 213 HAS EVLOVED SINCE THEN?
I respect opinions as much as the next man, but to trash 10 years of legacy because the album isn't your flavor is straight up wrong. I feel sorry for 213, cause this album was made for us, the fans who stuck with them all this time, not the teeny boppers. And what do you do? Toss it back in their face, instead of appreciating the fact that these three got together during their busy schedule, and make some good summer music. THEY DIDN'T OWE US THIS ALBUM, THEY DIDN'T NEED TO DO SHIT!!
I've given up on you westcoast fans. You have one single view on how the album should be, and if not fulfilled, you will trash and boycott and whine, etc. The westcoast will never succeed again; everyone will trash the Game when his album come out, same with Crooked I, and so forth. This album was a solid 8-8.5/10, but somel of you managed to take the minor imperfections, and blow it up out of proportions. Lemme just get this off my chest and say it:
To whom it may concerned (those who hated on this album for the dumbest reasons), a big FUCK YOU from me. You never deserved this album
-
Damn, I couldn't agree more bro.....
-
i agree as well, i've had nothing but good things to say about this album, peace.
-
I dont understand why everyone on this board is hating on this album either. Everyone Ive talked to around here has picked it up and has nothing bad to say about it. I was at a keg party last night, they had The Hard Way on and people were dancing and blazing up the endo and really feeling the summer vibe. Im also happy the album has a nice, consitant sound to it and 213 is coming with a distinct style and sound thats missing in hiphop.
-
I agree with you on your view about people dissing the album. But I disagree with you saying this was made for the fans and not for the teens. I think is the other way around. If it was for the fans, Warren would have produced the whole album. That's no doubt.
But I aint saying the production is wack. I aint saying otherwise, I aint heard it yet.
I'm gon buy it cause I love Warren, I love Nate. I know it wont be as good as it could have been (as it SHOULD have been), but it's the closest we're gonna get to a real 213 album, so it'll be welcome.
I'm a cop it, support Warren and Nate, bump it for a couple of weeks and wait for a new Warren solo.

Damn straight!!
Its so stupid that westcoast fans allways expects a classic from the G-Funk era, and when its not (which it can never be anymore) they find at least one bad thing and blow it up.. This album is 10 times better then Music and me + Paid the cost to be the boss.. The funny thing is that I was one of these guys who was ready to hate on the album because of no Warren productions and Snoop, but when an album is good you can't overlook it.. Its a 8/10 IMO and a great summer album..
-
lmmfao! The album was made for the true fans, and not the lil teeny boppers? hahahahahahahahahahah, pull your head out of your ass and get at me when you know something about music. when did you start listening to music? lemme guess, when eminem came out?
people were dancing to it at a keg party? big fucking deal. Keg parties I go to people dance to fuckin Nelly and Britney spears if its playing. they are drunk. they will dance to anything.
and most of all, everyone in this thread, I guarantee hasn't listened a majority of westcoast albums that dropped this year. best westcoast album of the summer? ha. Nutzo's album blows this away. UGOA2 blows this away. KF Klik Blows this away. Pioneers Blows this away. Yall love this album cuz your a bunch of dpg groupies, who don't listen to any other westcoast rap unless its dpg affiliated. doesn't matter how the album turned out, yall woulda loved it due to the name alone.

I agree. Some of you are trapped in that 95 era.. I can safely say that I listen to enough different West Coast Rap music, both underground and mainstream, and I liked it. I agree "Pioneers" was better than 213, but I wouldnt say that "United Ghettos 2" was better, but thats just my opinion.
-

LMAO, your "Keg Partys" must be wack as fuck because Ive never been to a Kegger in my life where someone was playing a Nelly or Britnet Spears cd. Stop trying to turn something positive into a negative all the time.
-
Nutzo's album sounds nothing like an album from 95. niether does Savage C's, neither does the Pioneers. In fact, I haven't listened to, or expected a new album in years to sound like an album from the past. I know lil Jay listens to a lot of westcoast rap, but most these other fools don't. How anyone could say that the 213 is even close to as good as these 3 albums I just named, blows my mind.

LMAO, there not "my keg parties" I just stop by at them. and I have heard damn near every kind of music at a "keg party". and I wasn't turning anything from positive to negative. I was showing how your example was stupid as fuck. Just cause people dance to it at a "keg party" doesn't mean its good music.

I bought the album the morning it came out, and I was playin it pretty much the entire week, everywhere I was drivin. I donno why so many people on this site hate it, because all of my homeboys in LA are feelin it, from the 13 year olds, 20 year olds, to the 28 year olds. Maybe it's because I was drivin around south central and compton and the music just fits the scenery perfect or somethin...but I definitely think it was a solid album. The only track I think is weak is that "Lil girl" song, and 213 the gangsta click and my dirty hoe are below average. But this entire weekend, we were singin joysticc, and playin appreciation and singin it like it was graduation. So for whatever reasons that people on here aren't feelin it is beyond me, but it is their opinion and I feel bad for them because they can't enjoy the album like I do.

Ain't this some kind of bitch? Listen up faggot, I've been listening to rap since 1993, my 1st album being Onyx - Bacdafucup. I think with 11 years under my belt, I've listened to quite a number of rappers, and I know what I like and what I don't, and I don't need your bitch ass to tell me otherwise. I never claimed this album to be underground, so throw your comparisons to KF Klik, Nutzo, etc. out the window. If those are better westcoast albums to you, I told you: I respect opinions as much as the next man, get that in your head, so respect mine, mothafucka. But don't trash this album because it ain't what you expected, cuz they don't owe you shit.
DPG Groupie? Ha. I copped the album expecting the worst, cuz I hated PTCTBDB, Last Meal, and any "DPG" labelled album since Dogg Food. But I still have an open mind, and I do acknowledge good music, and putting those two together lead me to conclude that the 213 album is really good.
So one more time bitch, to make it politically correct for you, I consider this the best westcoast album of the summer, don't hate on my opinion. And don't change subject bitch, my main argument was that narrow-minded listeners have no right to diss this album. Now fuck off
-
LMFAO! don't take it to heart, I'm talking about music here, and you take it personal. too funny. let me get you a tissue. this forum is wack.
-
I think its without a doubt it's easily the best albumn this year(maybe even 2 years). I didnt listen to any previous of the album before it came out and with no Warren Production I thought it was going suck but it didnt to my surprise. I cant stop playing Gangsta Music, Mlk and Apprection. Some people hate no matter how good an albumn is.

damn, i gotta download this...

I think a lot of people are just happy that they didn't fuck up bad. What I mean is they didn't have any wack, poppy Neptune's beat, no Fabalous or Nelly guest spot or anything like that. But to me it's seems like they really didn't give a shit about making this album great. This seems like a really average album, there are like 2 great songs, 2 wack songs and the rest is average. It seems like they just went thru the motions to get this done.
Overall I'd give it a 5/10
-
Gotta completely disagree. Twist Yo Body, Another Summer, MLK, Absolutely, and Mary Jane are good. The rest of the album is garbage.
-
this album isnt comepletly bad, but its not going to win any awards in my book.

MK loves Sofia Vergara:
No guests, no producers that would remotely make it a "sellout" album.
kayne west and missy. those are both very generic, "hottest thing going" type of producers.
although, kayne's song was alright, even though he recycled a beat from "above the rim". i don't have a problem with people recycling beats, but do you really want people thinking of the above the rim era aka the good ol' days???
because some of you narrow-minded idiots don't hear the g-funk whistle, the "George Clinton" voice or DJ EZ Dick
there's alot of funk on this album. keep it gangsta is worth the price of the album alone imho. "run on up" also has a classic funk sound, something reminiscent of "one more day" or some bay funk. "absolutely", "lonely girl", "ups & downs". "mary jane", "mlk", "appreciation"...there's some good stuff on there. funky stuff.
the fans who stuck with them all this time
fans staying loyal is overrated as artists change, their sounds change...etc
THEY DIDN'T OWE US THIS ALBUM, THEY DIDN'T NEED TO DO SHIT!!
nate dogg has never put out a hit record with his name on it. he certainly needed to do it. warren g certainly needed to get his name back out there as well.
snoop didn't need to do it, so we should all thank snoop. i'll thank warren too.
look, you can't critize the fans for wanting a pure g-funk album from the so called g-funk architects. this is the same reason that old cats still prefer old school funk and soul to modern r&b. the mainstream moves away from what you like. my only advice to these cats is to stock up on that classic shit they may not have bought back in the day. classic shit you never heard sounds like new shit. but there's alot of funk on this album.
UDollar A.K.A Nino:
This album is 10 times better then Music and me + Paid the cost to be the boss..
that's 100% true, but you're lowering the bar very far to make that comparison. but this is a very good album. it's better than "return of the regulator" or "the last meal"...
l i l j a y :
I agree. Some of you are trapped in that 95 era..
this is an extraordinary misconception. 95 was really the last year that death row/warren g had a lock on g-funk; but '96 was a stronger year for pure g-funk than '95. pac set the year off with "all eyez on me"; the summer of '96 was completely off the chain. lil half dead, celly cel, conscious daughters, dazzie dee, thin line soundtrack, me & my cousin, ren...lots of heat that summer. yo yo and west side connection dropped that fall. big snoop dogg closed out the year with doggfather, and while he moved away from that g-funk sound and many were not ready for the funk that pooh and l.t. were bringing...everyone felt blueberry god damn it. makaveli isn't g-funk so don't think i'm hating on pac.
97 and 98 were also very strong years for that clean west coast funk sound. very strong. g-dub dropped an album, swoop g, the first 19th st compilation, ride soundtrack & caught up soundtrack had some heaters, tha luniz dropped a heater, gridlock'd soundtrack, the lady of rage and daz dropped (both had that dogg food era funk sound) tha comrads & mack 10's second album, suga free, ras kass, mc ren, and close out '98 you had kurupt & cat collaboratin' on some classics plus a new quik album.
and snoop, tha eastsidaz, doggy's angels & bad azz would do some good work advancing the funk in the years to come. 220, mausberg and tha relatives would do some good work advancing the funk in the years to come. cats talking about g-funk like it's dead, like i can't point to releases within the past year that were either completely g-funk or had g-funk elements.
just because dr. dre has made some mistakes in his life and moved away from the funk doesn't mean that the funk died. g-funk lives on.
and let's be honest, the only reason cats would point to '95 like "g-funk died around then" is that they are thinking of dr. dre, fearful for his life, jumping ship and leaving death row. but the funk lives on.

Is it me, or is Warren G supposed to be the producer of 213?...Is it me, or did Warren G not produce on this album?...Is it me, or is this not even a 213 album at all?

this is an extraordinary misconception. 95 was really the last year that death row/warren g had a lock on g-funk;
Of course, but Im just saying... alot of good west coast albums dropped in 95, but I could have picked any year until 97. Thats not the point though, my point was that people are trapped in the West Coast shit from back in the days of 19-pick a year-

Is it me, or is Warren G supposed to be the producer of 213?...Is it me, or did Warren G not produce on this album?...Is it me, or is this not even a 213 album at all?

So if I say I don't like it, that means I'm bitching?...I don't think so, bud.
I heard the album front to back more than once. I think it's decent at best...I also think the advance is better, and would never support this bullshit.

Great Cd
You Faggots are SICK SICK!
