MAKAVELI & DILLINGER!?!
IT'S NOT QUITE CHRISTMAS YET, SO HERE'Z ONE LAST UPDATE BEFORE I PUT UP A FEW CHRISTMAS SONGS IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. SO HERE IT IS. THE TRACK LISTING FOR AN ALBUM THAT, LIKE SO MANY UPCOMING DEATH ROW ALBUMS SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT. UNTILL NOW!!! IT LOOKS LIKE THE "MAKAVELI AND DILLINGER" COMPILATION THERE WAS WORD OF A WHILE BACK, MAY ACTUALLY BE TURNED INTO REALITY, WITH A POSSIBLE 1999 RELEASE DATE. IT'S SET TO INCLUDE MANY DEATH ROW ARTISTS, BOTH PAST AND PRESENT INCLUDING KURUPT, SNOOP DOGG, NATE DOGG, SOOPAFLY, JEWELL AND EVEN CHOCOLATE BANDIT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ALBUM IS LICENSED UNDER DEATH ROW, BUT THAT DAZ STILL HAS A CHANCE OF TAKING IT OVER TO MOBSTYLE MUSIC. THIS ALBUM LOOKS LIKE IT'LL BE REAL TIGHT, WHICH EVER LABEL EVENTUALLY RELEASES IT. YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE FULL LINE UP BELOW. REMEMBER THOUGH THAT THIS MAY NOT BE THE FINAL LISTING, AND COULD CHANGE A LITTLE BEFORE RELEASE. TAKE A PEEP ANYHOW!
TRACK LISTING
1. "Makaveli Greeting" - 2Pac
2. "So Many Enemies" - 2Pac and Daz Dillinger
3. "If U Can't Beat Us" - 2Pac, Jewell and Tha Dogg Pound
4. "Mystery Murderer (I say fuck 'em!)" - 2Pac, Outlawz, and Daz
Dillinger
5. "Right Between Tha Eyez" - 2Pac, Snoop and Daz Dillinger
6. "Thug Passion 2" - 2Pac, Daz Dillinger, Too $hort and Jewell
7. "Can Ya Hollar At Us?" - 2Pac and Daz Dillinger
8. "Changes" - 2Pac
9. "Erase tha Facez" - 2Pac, Soopafly, Nate Dogg and Kurupt tha Kingpin
10. "Original Inmate" - Daz Dillinger, Soopafly and Chocolate Bandit
11. "In Tha Ghetto" - 2Pac, Daz Dillinger and Lady V
12. "The New and Untouchablez" - 2Pac, Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg and
Tray Deee
13. "Makeveli Who?" - 2Pac and Daz Dillinger
14. "Luv Potion" - 2Pac
15. "Makaveli Outro" - 2Pac and Daz Dillinger
WITH SO MANY APPARENT ALBUMS IN THE PIPELINE, IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHY DEATH ROW DON'T RELEASE MORE! AS IT GOES THEY SEEM TO STRUGGLE WITH 2-3 A YEAR, WHERE OTHER LABELS PUT OUT A LOT MORE. WASSUP WIT' THAT?? A LOT OF TIME SEEMS TO GO INTO THE MAKING OF THEIR ALBUMS, WHICH IS FINE, IT'S JUST ANNOYING THAT THERES A LOT OF COMPLETED JOINTS JUST SITTING THERE WAITING TO GO. HOPEFULLY THE RETURN OF SUGE KNIGHT, (WHO MAY QUITE POSSIBLY BE RELEASED WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS), WILL CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER. SPEAKING OF SUGE AND UPCOMING PROJECTS, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT AN ALBUM ENTITLED "SUGE'Z REVENGE" IS IN PROGRESS, IN HONOR OF HIS RELEASE. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS COMPILATION YET, BUT IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT GONNA DROP BEFORE SUGE GETS OUT. I'LL PUT MORE UP ON THIS AS SOON AS I GET IT. I'M REALLY HOPIN' THAT '99 WILL BE THE ROW'S YEAR. THEY STILL GOT SOME TALANT, AND A WHOLE HOST OF NEW ARTISTS. LET'S JUST SIT BAC' AN SEE HOW IT ALL UN-FOLDS!!!
SOOPAFLY SPECIAL
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THE ORIGINAL 'I DON'T HANG' TRACK APPEARED ON THE 'THIN LOVE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE' SOUNDTRACK. AN ALBUM WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT. AMONGST OTHERS IT ALSO INCLUDES 'BEWARE OF MY CREW' BY THE LBC CREW. NEXT UP, IN MY OPINION, IS A TRACK THAT'LL ROCK YA MIND! THIS HAS SERIOUSLY GOTTA BE THE ILLEST SOOPAFLY TRACK EVER MADE. CLICK RIGHT BELOW FOR THE FULL UNEDITED VERSION, AN INTERNET FIRST!!!
PHONE CONVERSATION (YOU MUST BE CRAZY)
TO FINISH OFF WITH CHECK OUT ANOTHER OF THOSE CAVI UNRELEASED DEATH ROW EXCLUSIVES, ENTITLED 'FREAK'. THIS TRACK, JUST LIKE THE OTHER TWO IS OFF THA DAMN HOOK! I STILL PREFER THE PHONE TRACK BUT THIS EARNED THE PRIME SPOT AS IT'S NEW AND UN-HEARD. SOOPAFLY IS WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE MOST TALANTED ARTIST LEFT AT DEATH ROW, ASSUMING HE'S STILL THERE OF COURSE... WHICH I THINK HE IS. HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY ALL THESE TRACKS!
I HOPE A COUPLE OF THESE ARE INCLUDED ON
SOOPAFLY'S UPCOMING DEATH ROW ALBUM 'LIKE IT OR NOT'. I'D LUV
IT TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST OUT EARLY NEXT
YEAR, ALONG WITH THE ALMOST FORGOTTEN 'INSIDE OUT' COMPILATION. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT LIKE IT OR NOT YET, EXCEPT THAT BIG PIMPIN' 3 IS SET TO BE INCLUDED, WHICH I'M SURE WILL FOLLOW THE OTHER TWO WELL.
WATCH OUT FOR THIS AN A WHOLE LOTTA OTHER DEATH ROW ALBUMS, HOPEFULY COMIN' SOON.
I JUS' PEEPED A MAJORLY TIGHT UPDATE FROM SNOOP'S DOGGHOUSE. INCLUDED WAS SNOOP'S NEWEST TRACK GANGSTA
MOVE FROM THE NO LIMIT COMPILATION - 'WE CAN'T BE STOPPED'. I'M NOT
USUALLY DOWN WIT' NO LIMIT AND THEIR OVER SIZED, OVER RATED ROSTER. BUT THIS SONG SHOWS SOME REAL TALANT FROM SNOOP. I HAVEN'T HARDLY
TAKEN SNOOP'S LAST ALBUM OUT OF IT'S CASE, BUT IF HIS UPCOMING
'TOP DOGG' ALBUM HAS TRACKS LIKE THIS INCLUDED, I'LL BUMP IT ALL DAY,
EVERYDAY! IN FACT I HEARD A RUMOR THAT A NUMBER OF DEATH ROW
RELATED ARTISTS ARE SET TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE, SO THINGS ARE
LOOKIN' GOOD. THERE'S EVEN WORD THAT C-STYLE AND BAD ASS MAY SHOW
UP, AND THAT THE ALBUM WILL A DOUBLE! DON'T HOLD ME TO THAT THOUGH!
ALSO COMIN' LIVE FROM THE DOGGHOUSE IS A PHAT REMIX OF RAS KASS'S GHETTO
FABULOUS WHICH INCLUDES TWO VERSES BY MAKAVELI! THIS TRACK
WHOOP'S THE ORIGINALS ASS, EVEN IF IT DOES JUST USE 2PAC'S LYRICS FROM THE ALL DOPE BAD ASS/2PAC TRACK GHETTO STAR, SO TAKE A LISTEN.
IF ANY ONE'S INTERESTED I GOT ANOTHER REMIX WHICH IS A PURE RAS
KASS SOLO WITH NO DRE OR MACK 10. I'LL THROW IT UP IF Y'ALL WANNA
HEAR IT. THE EVER EXPANDING, EVER IMPROVING FOEGROUND SITE HAS PUT OUT A COUPLE MORE EXCLSUIVES FOR THE WORLD TO HEAR.
CHECK OUT THE SHORT BUT DOPE I THOUGHT U KNEW BY DAZ AND NATE DOGG, BEFORE LISTENING
TO A PHAT EXCLUSIVE BY SNOOP AND THE CONVICTS CALLED PLAYIN' FOR KEEPS. BOTH THESE TRACKS ARE HOT SO TAKE TIME
OUT TO PLAY 'EM LOUD. THE FOEGROUND HAS ALSO PUT UP SOME TIGHT UNRELEASED FOESUM TRACKS, SO TAKE A
TRIP THERE AN GO PEEP 'EM.
SNOOP'S TOUR, WHICH LOOKED TO BE A BIG SUCCESS WORLDWIDE HAS NOW COME TO AN END.
THERE WAS SOME SCANDALOUZ FALSE ADVERTISING GOIN' ON THOUGH REGARDING THE NO LIMIT ARTISTS, WHO DIDN'T SHOW UP AT ALL IN AUSTRALIA OR NEW ZEALAND!! THEY CLAIMED THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE AUSTRALIA CROWD... WHAT KIND OF A LAME ASS EXCUSE IS THAT???
SO INSTEAD OF ARTISTS LIKE MASTER P, FIEND, SILK AND C-MURDER, THE PRE-SHOW ENTERTAINMENT WAS PROVIDED BY URBAN PACIFICA, LOST TRIBE AND MA-V-ELLE, ALL NZ HIP HOP/ R&B GROUPS. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE WERE ANY GOOD, BUT I'M SURE IT'S NOT WHAT PEOPLE PAID THEIR DOLARS OUT FOR! AN APPEARANCE BY BAD ASS SEEMED TO MAKE UP FOR IT THOUGH.
SNOOP'S CONCERT AT THE SUPER TOP IN AUCKLAND WAS ALL-GOOD I HEAR.
MY HOMIE AARON-C GOT TO GO SO HERE'S THE LOW DOWN…
I'M TOLD THAT SNOOP INTERACTED WITH THE CROWD REGULARY, AT ONE POINT EVEN TAKING AND SMOKING A JOINT THROWN UP BY A FAN, WHICH SET OFF A WHOLE LOTTA PEOPLE THROWIN' MORE WEED SNOOP'S WAY, WHO I BET WASN'T COMPLAINING.
A WHOLE LOTTA DEATH ROW TRACKS WERE PERFORMED, INCLUDING MURDER WAS THE CASE, GIN AND JUICE, 2 OF AMERIKAZ MOST WANTED (WITH 2PAC'S LYRICS PLAYING FROM TAPE),
THA DOGGFATHER, SNOOP'S UPSIDE YA HEAD, AND A FEW MORE. IN FACT HE ONLY PUT DOWN A FEW NO LIMIT TRACKS, WHICH I'M TOLD DIDN'T GO DOWN TOO WELL.
A FEW PEOPLE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO CATCH POSTERS, BANDANAS AND SOME CASSETTE COPY'S OF 'WORD ON THE STREET' ALL THROWN OUT BY SNOOP AND BAD ASS.
SO THAT'S HOW THE NEW ZEALAND CONCERT WENT DOWN, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN? I WAS SENT A REAL DOPE REVIEW BY "MR RADIO" WHICH YOU CAN READ RIGHT HERE. I WAS GONNA TAKE SELECTIVE PARTS OUT, BUT I THINK THE WHOLE THINGS WORTH READING. THANX GOES OUT TO BOTH THESE TRUE PLAYAZ FOR THEIR HELP.
THE G-FUNK FAMILY
REPORTS THAT CHOCOLATE BANDIT'S UPCOMING DEATH
ROW ALBUM WILL BE CALLLED 'LYRICAL WARFARE', AND WILL BE RELEASED
LATE NEXT YEAR. THEY ALSO REPORT THAT DANNY BOY APPEARED ON
TWISTA'S LATEST ALBUM. I CAN'T WAIT FOR '99 TO COME AROUND, WHAT WITH ALL THE DEATH ROW ALBUMS SET TO DROP.... I HOPE THEY WILL ANYWAY! MTV REPORTED A LITTLE WHILE BACK THAT THE
'MUCH TALKED ABOUT TUPAC TRIBUTE ALBUM', (WHICH MADONNA STILL MAY
BE A PART OF), IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF PREPERATION AND SHOULD
BE RELEASED SOME TIME NEXT YEAR. THE ARTIST LINE-UP IS REALLY
GONNA AFFECT THIS ALBUMS SALES. I MEAN IF THEY THROW ON ARTISTS
THAT 'PAC NEVER KNEW OR NEVER LIKED, I'M SURE SALES WILL BE LOW.
I'M GONNA KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS ONE, AND SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT.
FOR ANYBODY WHO HASN'T YET PICKED UP THE 2PAC GREATEST HITS ALBUM HERE'S A COUPLE OF TRACKS TO SCOPE.
FIRST TAKE A LISTEN TO ALL BOUT U WHICH HAS THE SURPRISING APPEARANCE FROM YGD THE TOP DOGG, BEFORE MOVIN' ONTO THE CONTROVERSIAL GOD BLESS THE DEAD. IN THIS TRACK 2PAC CLEARLY SAYS
"REST IN PEACE TO MY MUTHAFUCKA BIGGIE SMALLS" AT THE START.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GOIN' CRAZY OVER THIS SAYIN' HE'S ALIVE AN ALL, BUT I'M THINKING THIS REAL HARD TO BELIEVE. IT SOUNDS CRAZY TO HEAR 'PAC UTTER THOSE WORDS BUT I'M PUTTING' THIS ONE DOWN TO ANOTHER OF HIS DISSES AGAINST BIGGIE, (BOMBING DOWN ON BIGGIE AN THOSE HE HATED WASN'T RARE FROM 'PAC) JUST LIKE ON HIS SHORT BUT SWEET TRACK WHEN WE RIDE ON OUR ENEMIES. SO MAYBE THIS IS JUST A THREAT TO TAKE HIS LIFE, TRYING' TO SPOOK BIGGIE OR SOMETHING.... MAYBE!!!
IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2PAC GREATEST HITS ALBUM MAY SOON HIT THE NUMBER 1 SPOT IN THE R&B CHARTS AFTER
ALREADY DEBUTING TO NUMBER 5 IN THE POP TOP 10.
MTV ONLINE STATES THAT OVER 268,000 COPIES HAVE BEEN SOLD ALREADY!
IF THIS KEEPS UP, WHICH I'M SURE IT WILL THERE'S NO REASON WHY THIS PREMIER DEATH ROW/AMARU PROJECT SHOULDN'T TURN GOLD.
REMEMBERING MOST FANS ALREADY HAVE ALMOST EVERY TRACK THIS'LL REALLY BE SOMETHIN'!
ALSO CLICK RIGHT HERE FOR SOME IN DEAPTH FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS ON THE GREATEST HITS ALBUM. PROPS GO OUT TO DANIEL MARQUEZ FOR THIS TIGHT HOOKUP.
UPDATES
DUE TO A HOUSE MOVE AN SOME OTHER THINGS I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO UPDATE FOR A WHILE BUT STAY WIT' ME AN I'LL TRY AND PUT UP SOMETHING SPECIAL ON THE WEEKEND, INCLUDING ANOTHER OF THOSE UNRELEASED EXCLUSIVES. IN THE MEAN TIME TAKE A TRIP TO MY SOUNDZ PAGE TO LISTEN TO AN DOWNLOAD WHATEVER YOU WANT TO.
STEADY MOBBIN'
MOBSTYLE'S PREMIER RELEASE 'WEST SIDE RIDAHZ VOLUME 1' WAS RELEASED TUESDAY ALONG WITH A FREE FULL COLOR CALENDAR, MAKE SURE TO PICK UP A COPY AS SOON AS YOU CAN!
I WROTE A MAIL TO MOBSTYLE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO ASKING SOME QUESTIONS, WHICH GOT REPILED TO IMMEDIATELY BY THE REAL PLAYAZ THERE.
THEY TOLD ME THAT DAZ'S FIRST SOLO ALBUM WITH THEM, (COMIN' EARLY '99) WILL BE ENTITLED
"BACKSTABBERS", WHICH WILL ALSO BE THE NAME OF THE FIRST SINGLE BY DAZ SET TO FEATURE
MIKE MORISON. THEY TOLD ME TO EXPECT SOME DOPE APPEARANCES AND BASICALLY SAID IT'S AN ALBUM NOT TO MISS!
THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY'D BE WILLING AND HONOURED TO PUT DOWN SOME WORK WITH DEATH ROW IF THE CHANCE CAME UP. DEATH ROW HAVE ALREADY TEAMED UP WITH AMARU, AND ARE POSSIBLY GOIN' JOINT WITH G-FUNK RECORDS EARLY '99, SO I GUESS ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!
I WAS TOLD, AND AM PERSONALLY HONOURED TO HEAR THAT DAZ GOT A PEEP AT MY SITE AFTER WALKING IN THE OFFICE WHEN MY PAGE WAS RUNNIN'. I'M TOLD HE GAVE THANX TO ME FOR THE SUPPORT WHICH IS SOMETHIN' REAL SATISFYING TO HEAR!
THE NEWZ KEPT FLOWIN' AS THEY TOLD ME THAT 'RAP PAGES' ARE STRONGLY CONSIDERING MAKING DAZ PRODUCER OF THE
YEAR!! WHICH IS NEWS I'D LUV TO COME TRUE.
LAST OFF WATCH OUT FOR DAZ TO APPEAR ON THE COVER OF A NEW MAGAZINE COMING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS CALLED 'SHOWCASE'. BE ON THA LOOKOUT!
THERE LOOKS TO BE SOME REAL FLY THINGS GOIN' ON MOBSTYLES WAY, AND WITH SOME CAVI UPDATES IN THE WORKS THEIR GONNA BLOW UP FOR SURE.
