whoops wrong section....could someone move this?


RUMOR #4: Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre will appear on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack.

Source: A news post on the official Death Row Records Web site.

The official story: Rockstar spokespeople had no comment; correspondents were too scared to call Suge Knight.

What we heard: Earlier this week, a brief blurb appeared in Death Row's news section, beneath a posthumous birthday greeting to Tupac Shakur. It read as follows:

"We have three songs from our catalog appearing on the upcoming Rockstar Games release 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'. The songs that will be playing while you jack cars, recruit gang members, and make drug deals are 'Let Me Ride', 'Nuthin' But A G Thang', and 'Gin & Juice'. The game will be release (sic) October 2004."

Although the post was taken down within hours, it was picked up by several other sources, including Death Row fan site thuglifearmy.com and the official UK PlayStation Web site. Given that the game draws heavily from 1990s 'hood movies, the fact that it would have musical accompaniment from tha G-Funk era was a foregone conclusion. But getting some of the biggest hits of the gangsta-rap genre shows how great the stature of the Grand Theft Auto franchise has become.

Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus. Now all GTA: SA needs is some N.W.A.

I say it's bogus.  Correspondents were too scared to call Suge Knight?  Guy can't just make up this stuff about the game...

It was a joke.. 

It's true, DeathRow had the news up on their site, Rockstar gave them a call and asked them to take it down, eos.

It's most likely true... Don't see why Death Row would've posted it if it weren't true. And Rockstar wanted the news post taken down 'cause they don't want to leak too much info about the game.

And when you're making a game about gangstas & hoods taking place in early 90's West Coast, there's no way the soundtrack doesn't have hits from the most notorious & successful gangsta rap label of the time, Death Row.
