Tha Eastsidaz album basically rode 2001's coattails and capitalized on the Snoop Dogg brand. so the more gangsta, the better. G'd Up's video was a mixture between What's My Name & Still D.R.E. : VIP Records, fine bitches, and lowriders. couldn't go wrong at the time.what's crazier is how they managed to go gold with their sophomore album while the industry was falling apart and Snoop was taking a turn towards soul-inspired gangsta music that had no real mainstream appeal.
The blood gang embraces Tupac as a member even if YOU dont.
