Pretty sad list. Lot of no namers

i had to post on this, lookin in 07 now, i can see why they picked Nottz, Hi-Tek, Kanye West, Josef Leimberg, Terrace Martin, though i think some of them had a pretty tight buzz already back then...

but Tha Chill always been a dope producer though, on MC Eiht albums and stuff
Title: Re: CREDITS: 213 - The Hard Way
Post by: Tanjential on January 19, 2007, 12:35:46 PM: this should have been mainly warren g produced. with some daz, dre, and soopafly, battlecat, fred wreck, meech, jelly roll, and that should have been that.

Post by: XaNdEr on January 20, 2007, 02:33:42 AM: nah, not imo, i think it is just good the way it is, maybe on hte end some songs be replaced by some warren produced ones, but i like it as a whole (no homo)

Dang..i Like That Track!
Title: Re: CREDITS: 213 - The Hard Way
Post by: NoThru22 on August 11, 2007, 04:15:21 AM: So Fly is just a straight sample. The DJ Pooh remix is so much better.

Post by: Okka on June 10, 2009, 09:30:44 AM: Well, this album is still great even though there's no Warren G beats. "The Hard Way" got way too much hate when it came out.
"MLK" & "Keep It Gangsta" are classic 213 records, the Warren G remix of "Groupie Love" is dope as fuck too.
