Winnner gets nothing... but still, a couple of these are extremely obscure trivia questions, so anybody that gets this gets major props from me.
1. What was origionally going to be the first single off of the Dogg Food album? Hint: Kurupt reported that this song would be the first single during his appearance on BET's Rap City.
2. What name did Dr. Dre origionally want to use for his record label that is now known as Aftermath? Hint: This name was already being used by a Bay Area rap group, Dre offered a large sum of money for the rights to it, but they wouldn't give it up.
3. What was the deal that DOC accepted in signing with Rutheless records? Hint: What was specifically offered to him in the contract that he signed with Ruthless records?

Damn man.. that's no fun when I post up trivia and you come on and answer 1 minute later. So I'm going to have to be really strict, and I'm not going to give you the third question right even though you pretty much got it. As for the first question, it's possible that song may have been an option, but I'm going off of what Kurupt said when he was the guest on Rap City back in 1995.
I'm going to give my sources for the trivia when ya'll get it right. My source for question #2 was the Source, Source magazine that is, 1996 summer issue with Dre on the cover talking about walking away from Death Row Records, I still have that issue, I consider it a collectors item and a peace of memorabilia I'd never give away, that's my favorite Source issue of all-time.
-
by the way, Overseer, how did you know the answer to #2?
-
Ronin Ro's book about Death Row.. he used to work for The Source too...
anyone could find it on this forum itself.. all have been discussed here before.
Show Shit.. i only know about because i have a radio station clip from the same show where they previewed the LBC Crew tracks that are floating around..
ps..
It was a rolex :) ?

The D.O.C. also got a gold chain from Eazy lmao at gettin a watch and a gold chain for givin up publishing worth millions and millions of dollars

^ but these days they always blame Jerry Heller...

bingo... As Suge puts it in the documentary The Show "He gave away his rights for a watch and a mothefuckin chain, and it was written in the contract like that saying, a watch and a mothafuckin chain"...... by the way, it was also in Ronin Ro's book.

2 down, 1 to go. 2 and 3 have now been answered. But still, I'm looking for a different answer for the first question about the first single off the Dogg Food album.
-
so just after the song on rap city.. i dunno..
they made 2 videos... Lets Play House and NY, NY
they put out 3 (i think) 12"s.. the same 2 again and another i cant recall right now
I know NY, NY was shown on Rap City by the DPGs during the east+west stuff.. so i'll say its that one
-
It was RESPECT. They had a radio edit with all new lyrics and everything.
-
Wasn't "Can't C Me" supposed to be the first single?
-

I'd go with Respect too. 92.3 the beat and Power 106 both had Respect on rotation.

can't see me

Wasn't there also one where they were riding in a white bronco?
I remember big pimpin talking to snoop, then kurupt busted out of a bar. I don't remember what song it was for, but I remember that video vividly.
-
That was the one for What Would U Do? from the Murder Was The Case soundtrack.
-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That video was for the original version of What Would U Do. About half of it is on the Death Row Uncut DVD, then it cuts off.
They decided to remake the video, rappin on the billboard and stuff, and that's the one that was on MTV and BET.
The original spoofed the OJ Case with the white bronco and everything, but then NATURAL BORN KILLAZ video came out, and it spoofed the OJ killing too, so they felt it would be too much to do that in 2 back-to-back videos.

^^ In "Let's Play House" they had the same scene you just described, Snoop's only line was sitting on a bar stool.
Btw, I have a big problem with that damn Death Row Uncut tape Suge released, they left a lot of video's off of it, and they also cut the video's off have way through. What for? "Let's Play House" wasn't on there for one, and I could go on, I really wanted "I Ain't Mad At Ya" to be on there because I love that version of the song that was only released on video with the different last verse where Pac says, "A broken rose still blooms through the cracks of the concrete." Too many great video's were missing from that tape. Suge messes everything up now.
-
^ they listed Sam Sneed - U Betta Recognise and it wasnt on there :(
-
Btw, I guess my first question wasn't that fair, because apparantly they had a few idea's for the first single before they finally decided on "Let's Play House". I'm going to be out of town this weekend, so I'll go ahead and tell ya'll the one I was looking for, I was looking for "Reality". And my source is Kurupt said it when he was the guest on BET's Rap City in 1995.
Kurupt said, "The first single on the album is called Reality." I thought that was kind of interesting because that song is really low key, doesn't sound like a first single, so I'm thinking when he said that they still hadn't finished the album or even gone in the studio with DJ Pooh.
btw, another question asked in the interview was what Kurupt thought of Daz as a producer, and Kurupt said one thing about Daz as a producer bothered him, he said Daz was a perfectionist and always wanted to change everything 20 times over, even if it was dope, Kurupt said he just needed to drop it and put it out like that.

LOL...

Ahhh that’s probably why I'm confused...
Yeah that Death Row Uncut was really disappointing. They cut off videos half way thru, lied about content, and if you notice, they didn't have even one full Tupac video without something cutting into it. Even to live in die in LA has Suge talking over the song from prison. Hit em up has scenes from a live performance cut in, How Do You Want it as well... I think the reason they did that was to keep the option open to make a Tupac DVD...
-
many other videos werent full either.. sad :(
-
It is sad... Makes me even sadder that they had those morons driving around in the car taking up disc space when they coulda thrown everything they had on the DVD...
Kinda makes me wanna start up a NWA family tree video project...
