(WHAT'Z YA PHONE NUMBER 2)
I'LL BE DROPPIN' SOME EXTRAS FROM ONE MORE DEATH ROW ALBUM NEXT MONTH. AMONGST OTHERS WATCH OUT FO' A LIL' SPECIAL SOMETHIN' FROM DAZ.
SOMETHIN' 4 NOTHIN'
TUPAC'S BIOLOGICAL FATHER WILLIAM GARLAND HAS BEEN ON A MONEY GRABBING SPREE FOR TUPAC'S LEFT BEHIND WEALTH!
INITALLY HE WAS FIGHTING FOR HALF OF TUPAC'S SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN ESTATE, BUT AFTER COURT REJECTION HE SETTLED FOR A $540,000 PAYMENT PLUS LEGAL FEELS TOTALING AROUND $350,000.
UPON HIS FIRST APPEAL THE CASE WAS THROWN OUT AFTER A JUDGE
RULED GARLAND WAS PRESENT FOR LESS THAN 10 OF TUPAC'S 25 YEARS.
DETERMINED TO DIG TUPAC'S GRAVE GARLAND MADE THIS SECOND APPEAL WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY LED TO THE PAYMENT. I HOPE THERE ARE NO SIMILAR OCCURANCES IN THE FUTURE REGARDING TUPAC'S LEFT WEALTH. LET'S JUST LET THE MAN REST IN PEACE!
THINGS STILL DON'T SEEM TO BE GOIN' SMOOTHLY FOR SUGE, AFTER HIS APPEAL WAS REJECTED. THIS MEANS HE'LL HAVE TO CONTINUE WITH HIS NINE YEAR SENTENCE UNTILL ANOTHER CAN BE MADE. FOR THE FULL ACCOUNT OF THIS LAST SET BACK CHECK THIS NEWS UPDATE AT MTV'S WEBSITE.

IT LOOKS LIKE DEATH ROW'S 'INSIDE OUT' DELAY HAS BEEN EXPLAINED AT LAST. IT SEEMS THAT A NUMBER OF CONFLICTS BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION COMPANY NAVARRE, HAVE CAUSED SET BACKS IN BOTH THE ALBUMS PROMOTION AND RELEASE. RUMOUR HAS IT THAT VIRGIN MIGHT PUT THE ALBUM OUT AT A LATER DATE, BUT THIS IS CURRENTLY UNCONFIRMED. HOPEFULLY 'INSIDE OUT' WILL DROP EITHER LATER THIS MONTH OR BEFORE THE YEAR IS OUT.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST
THERE'S A NEW SITE ON THA SCENE AN IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COULD BE ONE OF THE DOPEST AROUND BEFO' LONG. CHECK OUT THE FOEGROUND AZ SOON AZ U CAN. THEY DON'T SEEM
TO HAVE BEEN RUNIN' FO' 2 LONG YET BUT THEY ALREADY GOT THEY GAME GOIN' ON. THERE THE FIRST TO BRING ONE OF THE RAREST DEATH ROW TRACKS AROUND, THE NEXT EPISODE. THIS IS A TRACK FROM THOSE CHRONIC DOGGYSTYLE DAYS. IN FACT IT WAS PLANNED TO BE ON THE DOGGYSTYLE ALBUM BUT WAS APPARENTLY CUT OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE. TAKE A LISTEN AN U'LL SEE JUST HOW SIMILAR TO THE
DOGGYSTYLE TRACKS THIS REALLY IS. APPARENTLY THE SITE'S CONSTRUCTION WAS HELPED OUT BY THA RUNNER OF SNOOP'S DOGGHOUSE, WHICH IS WHERE THIS NEWZ WAS FIRST PUT DOWN, SO GOOD LOOKING OUT DOGG.
THE FOEGROUND ALSO HAS A COUPLE OF OTHER TIGHT UNRELEASED SNOOP AN DRE TRACKS LIKE
'THE HOHOPPER' AND 'HEARD IT THROUGH THE EASTSIDE', AS WELL AS ALBUM REVIEWS AN A LOT OF OTHER TIGHT SHIT.
I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS TRACK 4 QUITE A WHILE BUT NEVER GOT TO HEAR IT TILL NOW. A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED WITH DRE AND THE CHRONIC WHERE A TRACK CALLED 'MR. OFFICER'
WAS CUT OUT JUST BEFORE RELEASE. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THIS SONG PLEASE MAIL ME CUZ I'D LUV TO HEAR THIS TOO!
HELTAH SKELTAH'S NEW ALBUM ENTITLED "MAGNUM FORCE" WAS RELEASED LAST TUESDAY, FEATURING AMONGST OTHERS BOTH THE DOGG POUND AND THE OUTLAWZ. FIRST OFF TAKE A LISTEN TO THE CAVI BROWNSVILLE II LONG BEACH . THIS DAZ PRODUCED TRACK IS REAL FLY AN FEATURES THE DPG. AFTER U HEARD THAT TIGHT HIT, CHECK OUT THIS BOMB BAY TRACK BY THE OUTLAWZ AND DOC HOLIDAY CALLED MFC LAWZ. I CAN'T SAY IF THE ALBUMS WORTH BUYING CUZ I'VE ONLY HEARD THESE 2 TRACKS FROM IT, BUT DEFINITELY TRY AN GET COPY'S OF WHAT U SEEN HERE! BOTH OF THESE TRACKS ARE COMIN' LIVE RIGHT AT YA FROM THE ULTIMATE DPGC HOMEPAGE. U JUS' GOTTA GO PEEP THERE. THEY GOT A HELLA TIGHT SITE BASED PURELY ON THEM DOGG POUND GANGSTAS, COMPLETE WIT' ALL THA LATEST DPG NEWZ AN HOTTEST SOUNDZ!
THE LONG AWAITED "CHRONIC 2" ISN'T 2 FAR AWAY NOW WITH IT'S EXPECTED DECEMBER RELEASE. DRE'S PLANIN' TO KEEP THE LANGUAGE ON THIS JOINT STRICTLY TO A PG LEVEL, MAKING IT KINDA UNIQUE FOR HIM AN THA WHOLE RAP INDUSTRY. I GOT NO PROBLEM WIT' THIS IDEA BUT I THINK IT'LL MAKE COMPETITION WITH THE FIRST CHRONIC A WHOLE LOT TOUGHER. THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME IN THE MAKING NOW. IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH MATERIAL TO FILL IT FO' A LONG TIME, BUT DRE DIDN'T WANNA DROP IT TILL HE FELT HE HAD THA RECIPE JUST RIGHT. IF DRE AN SNOOP CAN HIT THE BEATS LIKE BEFORE, WE ALL IN FOR A TREAT. LET'S HOPE IT GOES DOWN LIKE THAT!
IT'S BEEN REPORTED BY DRHQ THAT DEATH ROW'S "INSIDE OUT" ALBUM HAS BEEN DELAYED AGAIN. THIS TIME INDEFINITELY! IF THIS IS TRUE IT MEANS THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE SET AT ALL JUST NOW! I HOPE THIS SET BACK IS RESOLVED SOON, LETTIN' IT DROP AS PLANNED ON THE 27TH OF THIS MONTH. JUST BY CHECKING THE ALBUMS ROSTER U CAN GET AN IDEA OF HOW TIGHT THIS JOINTS GONNA BE, PERHAPS EVEN DR'S FINEST THIS YEAR! WE KNOW DEATH ROW CAN STILL MAKE THOSE CRAZY AZZ TUNES, IT'S JUST A SHAME THEY KEEP RUNIN' INTO PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RELEASES AND PROMOTION! IF THEY CAN FIX THIS ONCE AN FOR ALL I KNOW FO SHO' THEY'LL BE ON TOP ONCE AGAIN.
I JUST FOUND OUT FROM A LAS VEGAS SUN REPORT THAT DEATH ROW SIGNED A WHITE FEMALE SINGER NAMED GINA LONGO, THA FIRST WHITE ARTIST EVER TO BE SIGNED TO DEATH ROW, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW THA ONLY ONE EVER! I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS GIRL BEFORE FINDING THIS SO I WAS REAL SURPRISED 'BOUT IT! WAY BACK ON JANUARY THE 2ND '96 GINA SIGNED A MULTI-ALBUM DEAL WITH DEATH ROW WORTH AN ESTIMATED $50,000. SHE HAS NEVER RELEASED A RECORD OR PERFORMED IN CONCERT FOR THEM. REMEMBER HAMMER! SHE ALSO RECEIVED A $25,000 ADVANCE UPON SIGNING AND WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL $25,000 AFTER HER FIRST ALBUM IS COMPLETED. IT WAS SAID IN THE REPORT THAT EVEN SUGE HIMSELF COMMENTED ON HOW HE WAS IMPRESSED WITH HER "VOICE AND LOOK." APPARENTLY GINA RECORDED AROUND EIGHT TRACKS FOR HER OWN ALBUM, AND EVEN PUT DOWN A DUET WITH DANNY BOY. HER FATHER IS A PROSECUTOR WHO SUPERVISED SUGE'S PROBATION A WHILE BACK. GINA CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NO LINK BETWEEN HER INFLUENTIAL FATHER AND HER SIGNING TO THE LABEL. SHE GAVE THIS COMMENT; "THE REASON I'M ON DEATH ROW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DAD. I GOT MY DEAL BECAUSE I CAN SING. I KNOW THE PERCEPTION OUT THERE IS THAT EVERYTHING WAS JUST HANDED TO ME ON A SILVER PLATTER, BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WENT DOWN. I'M MY OWN PERSON AND I GOT MY OWN CONTRACT". THERE WAS A CELEBRATION DINNER AFTER THE SIGNING ATTENDED BY LONGO, FRIENDS AND FAMILY, KNIGHT AND SEVERAL OF THE RECORD EXECUTIVES ASSOCIATES. THE REPORT SAYS THAT AT ONE POINT DURING THIS DINNER GINA'S FATHER WARNED KNIGHT NOT TO EXPECT ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT IN REGARDS TO HIS PROBATION ON AN ASSAULT CHARGE. WAS THAT THE ONLY REASON SHE WAS SIGNED, BECAUSE OF HER FATHER WHO HAD SAY OVER SUGE'S CASE? IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW SINCE GINA'S SIGNING AND SHE STILL HASN'T MADE A DEATH ROW APPEARANCE. I'M JUS' WONDERIN' IF SHE'S STILL ON THA ROW, AN IF SO WILL SHE EVER SHOW UP ANYWHERE! CLICK RIGHT HERE IF YOU WANNA PEEP THE FULL STORY! MAYBE THERE'S A LOT MORE UNKNOWN DEATH ROW NEWZ BURIED DEEP IN THE LA SUNS REPORTS. IF ANYBODY COMES ACROSS ANYTHING INTERESTIN', GIMME A HOLLAR AN I'LL BE SHO' TA HOOK IT UP!

IT LOOKS LIKE INSIDE OUT HAZ BEEN DELAYED FO' SHO! IT DON'T LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN RELEASED ANYWHERE AT ALL! I GUESS THIS MEANS IT'LL DROP LATER THIS MONTH, MAYBE ON THA 27TH AZ THOUGHT! DEATH ROW HAVE REALLY GOTTA SORT THEY ACT OUT, IF THEY AIN'T CAREFUL THINGS COULD START TO GET ROCKY THERE WAY!
TODAY'S THA DAY THAT DEATH ROW'S LATEST JOINT "INSIDE OUT" SHOULD BE DROPPIN'. APPARENTLEY THOUGH THERE HAZ BEEN NO PROMOTION ANYWHERE 4 IT. SOME SAY IT'LL DROP ON THA 13TH, OTHERS FOR THA 27TH! I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IZ DOWN TO, BUT DR SEEM TO BE SLIPPIN' PROMOTION WISE. LOOK BAC' ON THAT MICHEL'LE ALBUM, I HEARD THERE WUZ A FEW POSTERS SCATTERED AND I SAW A LATE ADVERT IN THA SOURCE, BUT THAT WUZ IT! DEATH ROW HAVE THA SKILLZ TA DO THIS AZ GOOD AZ THA NEXT LABEL, BUT AIN'T REALLY USING 'EM. IF ANYBODY HAS SEEN THIS IN ANY STORES ANYWHERE HOLLAR AT ME!
THINGS AIN'T RUNNIN' 2 SMOOTHLY 4 SUGE AN HE'Z RELEASE DATE. MANY PEOPLE BELIEVED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT BY NOW, INCLUDIN' MYSELF. EVEN WITH A COUPLE OF HITCHES ALONG THA WAY I'M SURE HE WON'T HAVE TO RIDE OUT HIZ ENTIRE 9 YEAR STRETCH. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'LL BE OUT LATER THIS MONTH, OR EVEN THIS YEAR, BUT KEEP IT LOCKED RIGHT HERE 4 ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS!
