Yesterday was a national protest against Police Brutality, people were asked to wear black.
We just recently got ahold of 2 Doomsday Prodcuts, the first "Pray 4 Me" which features Brotha Lynch Hung (oh shit) Las Vegas Blvd. and Wall. Also their new release Northtown VS Westside which we mentioned a few times in past reports. Expect a review of both of them, Updates on New releases, MC's, Crip Section, Biz, and whats bumpin.
Also this site will be maintained by 3 people in the future which will add a more all around flava.
WE might not see a Double Trouble release for about a month, 2 at the most. I guess everyone in the music biz has to hit there bottem sometimes.
Rumour has been circulating that they will be signing MC's in the future, hmmmm.

October 15th 1998
Whats up ya'll, back up in this! not much at all poppin right now here. In site updates, We have added "Whats Bumpin" which is the return on a section we had awhile back, it is just mainly about what people are bumpin' around Las Vegas. Speaking of Return, ITS BACK!!! Our section dedicated to the Crips of Las Vegas. It used to be just about Donna St. Crips but we are expanding now!

October 2nd 1998
Hey whats poppin'? The biggest event of the year ended up becoming the shortest night of the year. Obviously somebody payed off the cops to fuck wit Da Joynt and there were buggin about permits. apparently they told him the permits he needed so he got them and was set, but then the cops decided to change there mind and say he needed another permit which ofcourse he didnt have, fuckin typical of pigs.... it was nice thought though (Ha Ha)
We have been updating all our pages with new info, plus adding new and better backgrounds and some new music (i know its gettin' old) We are still working on a new page for The Chop Shop it should be done soon hopefully. We added a sort of webring type thing called Tupac's Top 40 sites, its somewhat of like a webring or a voting thang. but any how just click on it so we can get more exposure if you want. ok. No new releases since, we got word that Double Trouble has some problams with there equipment so there wil be a delay in releases, a week or two. thats good to know! i had some other stuff but i think i forgot it, damn! if i remember it i will post it up so check back!
September 21st 1998
YO whats up? back at cha! You know the deal so why you frontn'? anyway!!! The Tupac tribute was off the hook. it was actully held on Flamingo and Kovel. instead of Troppicanna and Koval. We were told wrong and so were others. it was right on the sidewalk, they even took a lane for themselves in honor of tupac. There was a radio placed on the sidewalk right behind a picture that rested against the curb surrounded by white candles as fans sang lyrics and danced to the music that was playing form the small stereo, no doubt tupac. Fans drove by playing tupac loud as the fans out in the street poured out liquir exclaiming "THis is for Pac" it was veary emotional. The police were posted not far away but didnt start any drama and were veary polite.
DJ Rukus tapes have been circulating by the masses, it seems he has done alot of independant work such as special custom mixes. been hearin they were real tight!

Doin it in the park hosted by Da Joynt was veary successfull and veary veary enetertaining. Many B-boys repreenting many crews. Rock steady's Mr.Freeze dropped by. The DJs where on point with incredible mixes. the only downfall i saw was the freestyle session. it was more fun when everyone did it on there own. some guy came up and layed down a whole bunch of wac rules which ruined it. We had some East Coast visitors. Big Pun dropped by and performed at Club Utopia. and recently Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz performed, they also chatted with Galexy Glan of 88.1 KCEP. As Far as releases, Beats & Lyrics 2 will be droppin' veary soon, Makaveli 2 bootlegs have surfaced well and are selling quickly, you can pick one up at the chop shop. Vegas Flave 3 is on its way as well.
Sadly to say folks we will be shutting down this site soon. well we will keep the directory stuff up but no more updates. after this. It was veary fun and i hope you enjoyed it.

Finaly!!! SRT "The Reunion" was released, 6 days ago. The anticipation has been high and we got a copy so check the reviews. You can pick up your copy at the Chop Shop where we also added a few older CDs, so check it out. A few weeks back we were talking about Beats & Lyrics 2 and its first single "Me & My Main" feat. Aceyalone & Abstract Rude but we recently found out that it will be on Kool DJ EQ's new Album!? titled "Wrecord Fiendz" now this could mean it will be on both or it could mean the track list we gave out eirlier was for "Wrecord Fiendz" its not all straight, we are just as confused as you are. Speaking of Kool DJ EQ he got some recognization in "San Diego Underground" the illest magazine in california if not the west. much luv to em.. Commercials for LL's upcoming concert have been popping up on TV and Radio localy, there really trying to pack it in. They played his old hits while advertising.
Well you and i know he wont be performing those. They barely mentioned the other artists performing, why wouldnt you mention Mo-Thugs or Sylk-e-fyne? oh well.
Didnt we tell you that this summer was going to be off the hook? well that LL ish was just a teaser! Da Joynt, a local Hip Hop store (our best) presents "Doin' It In The Park" bringing hip hop back by having DJs, MCs, B-boys, and graff kids perform at the Jaycee Park our best park. Its gonna be June 6th, 3 days after the concert. There is no lineup for performances so we are assuming this will be open to all who want to perform which means some dope shit is gonna pop off, the event is in accosiation with HipHopSite.com, Sucka Free Las Vegas, and Deadly Venom Clothing. Much props to all of them and we can never show Warren peace or Mista Pizzo enough luv for how they help the Hip Hop scene here.
