Eazy E's Impact Of A Legend is a documentary on dvd? I thought that was a music cd with some unreleased songs by him? I would like to see a documentary about him.

[KoolMoeDee]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that this is the one off of the Impact of A Legend DVD

[Tha Jsta]

Eazy-E's Impact Of A Legend is a posthumously released package in March of 2002 (I think it is March). It is a CD and a DVD if you flip the thingy. It comes with an Eazy-E comic book (LOL), at least mine did.

Damn! I really wish I could use my Magic DVD Copier (latest and greatest version 4.7.1 build 8) to copy the _entire DVD into an image (.iso) file and put it up for y'all. The problem with that is I do not have nearly enough space on my hard drive. It requires approximately 9 GB for temporary DVD files and ends up a little over 7 GB if I remember correctly. I tried doing the same thing with my Beat Street DVD and it was only 3.85 GB. I had problems uploading such a large file to MegaUpload even though MegaUpload does not have a problem with it.

The DVD is packed with a documentary, videos, instrumentals so you can do it (it has the words on the screen from what I heard). If you downloaded my Ruthless Vault package, I copied the audio from that section of the DVD if you noticed. It is in there somewhere...

[Tha Jsta]

I know I could have uploaded this weeks ago, but whatever. Maybe if I remembered...

This is J.J. Fad's final album before they disbanded shortly after. Even though it is not as well-known as its predecessor, it is still a good reminder to when West Coast Hip-Hop (I categorise the group as West Coast Old School) could still be positive and not 100% hard core. So, with this and their first album, the memories will never cease if you don't let them...Where 'n' the hell am I going with this? LOL Fuck it, here it is.

I cannot believe nobody posted this up. Does anybody know what day this is? Today is Wednesday 26 March 2008, the 13th anniversary of the late great Eric Lynn Wright (Eazy-E)'s death. I haven't bumped anything but Eazy today and you shouldn't either. Thirteen years, can you believe it? I can't.

Eric Lynn Wright A.K.A. Eazy-E R.I.P. (Saturday 7 September 1963 -- Sunday 26 March 1995)
You will always be remembered by THE REAL, or at least by me.
REST IN PEACE

[Tha Jsta]

I know this thread is sort of dying, so this is what I am working on. I have approximately 912 MB of authentic original unreleased Tupac material. These are not tracks that have the original a capella and some new instrumental or vise versa, these are the originals and tracks which were never released all made before he had died. Sure a lot of them were modified with new verses from current artists or new instrumentals before they were released, but these are not. I have saved every Tupac track that I found and I have collected over 200 of them. That is not to mention the Thug Life Demo Tape made in 1994 which contains unreleased songs that very few even know exist. I didn't even know they existed until I found it a while back. Some tracks can be commonly found if you know where to look, but the demo tape is so rare that when I came across it, I snatched it up quicker than I'd snatch up a plate of fried chicken (LOL).

Keep in mind that I have remastered or improved each and every track's sound individually but some may sound as if I didn't. This is because I can only do so much to a track but I can almost guarantee you that these particular copies are very hard, if not impossible, to come by. I know there are a gang of tracks out there I do not have but I can almost guarantee you that not everybody has even half of these or even know they exist.

This is going to take days because there are a lot of tracks and I am currently working on something other than this at the moment but I will have this for you as soon as possible.

[Pattch82]

Those 2Pac tracks sound hot as fuck, cant wait for you to post them up G!

I've been bumpin' nothing but Westcoast shit since I started downloading all the shit that you upped! Much props!!!

Also, you got any Lady of Rage shit? I been looking for the Afro Puffs 12" everywhere, cant find it, looking for the G-Funk Remix of Afro Puffs too, also been looking for that mixtape she dropped 'VA 2 L.A.'

Keep up the good work Jsta, we need to keep this thread alive!!!

ps. I got a link for one of those albums you wanted, I'll up it when I get home from work.



Cheers!

[Tha Jsta]

You actually found one of those albums?! Good work. I can find Rage's Necessary Roughness in no time. I never really thought to look for the Afro Puffs 12" but I will definitely get on that.

[Pattch82]

Yeah I've got the H.W.A - I Ain't No Lady EP, I'll hook u up with a link when I get home.

I've got the Necessary Roughness album, also just found the VA 2 L.A. mixtape too, so just looking for the Afro Puffs 12" (hopefully the G-Funk Remix will be on there too!)



Cheers!

[Tha Jsta]

I can look up the track list for the 12" on www.discogs.com/artist/Lady+Of+Rage,+The. How do you search for things? I've been looking for the H.W.A. album for a long time.

[MastaCee]

People who puts The Game - The Documentary on there, obviously havent heard enough albums to display their opinion.. cause that's madness.. im not i hater, it's a great album and all.. but best westcoast albums :O

[Tha Jsta]

People who post these new artists' albums obviously have not much familiarity with the original west coast artists that made the west what it is today. People like The Game and the new peoples just don't have the style from a decade and a half ago. I wonder how many people today have ever heard of Parliament's Mothership Connection album in 1976 or any of that original funk.

[stargurl84]

anything by 2pac

[Tha Jsta]

It will take me a while, but I will have over 200 unreleased Tupac tracks for everybody once I get this one thing outta my way.

[Pattch82]

Yo Jsta,

The .rar file that I downloaded of the I Ain't No Lady EP is fuckin' corrupt or something, I tried gettin' the tracks off it but non of them are working.

I got a link here where you could buy it though, it'll set you back about 5 or 6 dollars for the vinyl.

I'm gonna keep looking though, I'll let you know what I find. I search for my shit on Yahoo! sometimes finds things that Google doesnt.

Here's the info on that EP too, although you probably alreaduy know this shit...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ain%27t_No_Lady


Cheers!

[Tha Jsta]

Did it bring up the message "Unexpect end of archive"? If it did, just download it again. I am real good with RAR files so give me the direct link and I'll see what I can do. I appreciate it though.

[Pattch82]

Nah it said something like 'File Is Corrupt WinRAR will have to close' and now that I'm trying to go back into it, there's just nothing in the file now. I'll try and hook you up with the link, see if theres anything you can do with it.



Cheers!

[Tha Jsta]

Oh shit! What version of WinRAR are you running? Just out of curiosity, is it licensed? If not, I can fix that for you.

I have some news for all you who are looking forward to my massive original/unreleased Tupac collection. This may be good or bad depending on how you look at it. I found a few more tracks that, believe it or not, _I didn't even have. I was looking for these and I finally came across them so I have to download and GoldWave them before I do anything. It feels real good to see a list of roughly 175 unreleased Tupac tracks knowing you have 90% of them and you have 210+ altogether sitting on your hard drive. Anyway, it will take a bit more time now.

[Tha Jsta]

If you think Dre wrote all his stuff, think again. James E. Anderson, better known as J-Flexx, ghostwrote a lot of Dre's tracks during his tenure at Death Row. Some examples of these are Natural Born Killaz, Keep Their Heads Ringin', California Love, and Been There, Done That. He doesn't get the credit he deserves so I am here to give it to him. He has an unreleased Death Row CD (what a surprise) that I just got and and bringin' y'all today. Get this 'cause not many people know about J-Flexx much less this leaked CD. He lets you know how it really went down at Death Row on the track Who Been There, Who Done That? which can also be found on the Death Row Greatest Hits (disc 2 track 9) compilation released in 1996. Trust me when I say he gives up the real on the entire CD.

Here are two more uploads for your Dr. Dre listening pleasure. I'm sure the second one can still be found, but I had a hard time finding it. So in order to prevent that, here it is for all of you.

[Tha Jsta]

Now that I'm using FileUploader, things seem to be working better for me. After I get those Tupac tracks I intend to get, I will archive these tracks. I now have approximately 230-240 tracks for you and I am about to get more.

[Tha Jsta]

I'm sure you have listened to Dr. Dre's The Chronic. But, have you noticed all those samples he had used? For example, my three personal favourites are Parliaments Mothership Connection (Star Child) and Swing Down, Sweet Chariot which he used in Let Me Ride, and Funkadelic's P. Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up) which he used in The Roach (The Chronic Outro). There are about 27 other songs he sampled and this is your chance to hear them all for yourself.

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever done in terms of putting a compilation together. If anybody wants the Doggystyle samples, let me know. I know this isn't West Coast Gangsta Rap or West Coast G Funk, but this is what put the Funk in G Funk. Not all of these tracks are like that but regardless of what they are, if you appreciate The Chronic you will appreciate these original tracks. I have a feeling that Big Hutch sampled a lot of these too, especially the Parliament and Funkadelic stuff. And if he did, it was before Dre sampled anything. I wonder if he had ever sampled his father, Willie Hutch.

[CharlesJones]

You really trying to keep this topic alive aren't you by posting to it everyday? LOL. I read what you said about J-Flexx. I heard Who Been There, Who Done That song and he shitted on Dr Dre. It's a damn shame that Dre doesn't write his own rhymes. Rappers shouldn't be rapping if they're gonna have other rappers writing their rhymes. I see what you mean about The Game. He isn't all that great. He's a decent rapper but his beats suck. I guess now that he's doing movies, he's gonna play the same stereotypical role that rappers play which is a thug/drug dealer LOL. In his new movie Street Kings with gay rapper Common(LOL), Forest Whitaker, Keanu Reeves, he plays a thug. He was a drug dealer in Waist Deep movie with Tyrese, Meagan Good, Larenz Tate. Tha Jsta i haven't heard any Parliament/Funkadelic albums but i wanna hear their albums because i'm a George Clinton fan. My favorite George song is Atomic Dog. That song is the shit. My favorite Parliament song is Flashlight and my favorite Funkadelic song is Not Just Knee Deep.

[Tha Jsta]

The two tracks Atomic Dog and (Not Just) Knee Deep are in the Dr. Dre samples archive. I will probably post all the Parliament albums in the "Respect The Architects" thread if I ever get enough space on my hard drive to download them.

I have always wanted to see Waist Deep. Is it worth watching?

[CharlesJones]

Waist Deep is worth watching because of Meagan Good. She is hot and i like her lips.

[Tha Jsta]

LOL. Too bad I can't see.

[CharlesJones]

What you mean you can't see? Go rent the movie at Blockbuster.

[Tha Jsta]

I cannot see. I lack sight. I call myself visually impaired because I can see very little out of my right eye. It is technically called "legally blind" but I don't consider myself blind. I am blessed to have the little sight I have now. It will get no better and most likely will not get any worse. But you never know and my mama always told me: "never say never".

[CharlesJones]

Sorry to hear that.

[King Tron 1]

Without reading the other posts I'd say Ice Cube's early releases. Too short and Hiero get down. Eazy-E is my muhfucker. Dre & Snoop were overrated, but classic. Murs and the rest of them cats do what they do.

[Tha Jsta]

Sorry to hear that.

That's OK. I was born this way. I am lucky to not know what it is like to see because if I did, I would want it back that much more. I make jokes about it occasionally so I'm cool with it. I can do things everybody else can do, probably even better. The only thing I cannot do is drive. That may bring some advantages and disadvantages with it. I have accepted it when I was little and I moved way on.

I'm not that prejudice. Although I don't like reggaeton, no matter who makes it. :king:

[Tha Jsta]

I am working on a nice little Tupac package to hold you over until I get the huge one ready. Have you guys ever heard of this tape called The Sessions? It all took place in 1996. Most of it was when Pac was making the One Nation CD that never got released. I think I have just about every track that was supposed to be on there.

Well I have been trying to find it free for sometime now and I finally found it. Initially, it had two CDs and 25 tracks (12 on disc 1 and 13 on disc 2). When I really looked at it, it had part of a track on the next track. I don't like my shit fucked up like that, so I am GoldWaving them as usually, but I am making it so the entire track will be in one MP3. Basically, when you listen to a track, the whole track will be there and the next track will not have the end of the previous one. Consequently, there will not be 25 tracks because some files were only the end of the previous tracks.

I have also done away with the DualDisc thing and made it all one disc. There were two folders containing 12 tracks and 13 tracks. When it is finished and uploaded, you will only see one folder with, at the moment, around 20 tracks. Of course, I am not finished with it but that's just a little update.

[Razorsharp]

Heiroglyphics- 3rd Eye Visionary
Xzibit- 40 days & 40 Nights
Ice Cube- Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Lethal Injection
Da 5 Footas- The Lost Scrolls
The D.O.C.- No One Can Do It Better
Souls Of Mischief- 93 Til Infinity
Dr. Dre- The Chronic & Chronic 2001
Snoop Dogg- DoggyStyle
Warren G- Regulate...G Funk Era
The Pharcyde- Bizarre Ride II
Rodney O & Joe Cooley- Me & Joe [Reminds me of Run DMC, but Westcoast]

[Tha Jsta]

You want some Tupac, you got some Tupac. This is The Sessions (UNRELEASED) CD I was talking about earlier. Like I said before, it originally had 2 folders (disc 1 had 12 tracks and disc 2 had 13 tracks). Some were small files (only seconds long) which were ends of the previous file or short interludes. So I did what I had to and it turned out as one folder with 16 tracks.

I did NOT take anything out of the sessions although there were three unreleased originals thrown in at the end. However, I did take those out because they were straight songs and did not go with The Sessions (UNRELEASED) CD. Don't worry, I am including them in the massive Tupac package I am working on. I now have over 240, maybe over 250 tracks. I am going to include this as well as the Thug Life (Demo Tape) in there as well. The problem with this package is that I am always discovering some unreleased material and it pisses me off when I do because the archive will already be uploaded. But, if anybody still wants it, let me know. I hope this holds you over until then. I have to say though, I don't know when it will be. It depends on the demand for it.

I have checked-out, and will contribute to that just as soon as I'm done with the Wu-Tang Dynasty Project.

[Tha Jsta]

That's cool. I hope the rest of the original people who post come back like Spinx and Memory Man...

[King Tron 1]

I'm not an original, but I am one of the better posters here, that's not "All Gen Chat".

[Tha Jsta]

What is "All Gen Chat"?

[King Tron 1]

People who don't frequent the other sections of the site, but stay in "gen chat", like Blackula. But she's not an original either.

[Tha Jsta]

So Gen Chat is people who just talk and do not post anything of much use? Sorry, I'm still a bit confused. When I post something, I am trying to educate the uneducated and maybe one day people will appreciate the work I do when I am dead and gone (LOL).

[King Tron 1]

Perhaps, but sometimes you get people like Stylemasterr & DJ Methods with ridiculous threads that are entertaining, but yeah pretty useless. But not that there's anything wrong with that. We've got different people from different places and not all are gonna be alike some will only go to the General Chat section, others will go to the Hip Hop section, while some stay (almost exclusively) in the audio booth section. I can't say any section is lacking, but eh, to each his/her own. That's the beauty of this site, you don't have to restrict yourself into only one section, you can do like I do and go to every section, I'm versatile like that. You will see me posting about a basketball game that went down to the wire the day before, and seconds later be on the Hip Hop section discussing old school classics. Or I can go to the comics section or the audio booth section...

As for the other part of being appreciated, that's up to the other person(s) to decide. I can't force anyone to listen to what I say, but in the end if I only inspire at least one person to write rhymes, do graffiti, or produce, or whatever, I've done my job.

[Tha Jsta]

I try to go to a few threads, but I am almost exclusively in The Hip-Hop Shop section. I don't know a thing about basketball so that's out. But I should try new things.

[King Tron 1]

Alright man, Peace. check out my Dynasty project if you haven't already. It's in the Wu-Tang Chamber.

[Tha Jsta]

It's kind of ironic in a sense that this is a site primarily dedicated to the Wu-Tang Clan and you see a gang of other topics posted. It's also ironic because I don't like the Wu-Tang Clan that much... The main reason why I registered is because I saw the "Respect The Architects" thread and really wanted to show my love for the Old School and the people who be keepin' it alive. Then I discovered this thread and I blew it the fuck up!

Now if anybody want any of these dope hard-to-find albums, hopefully the thread will be around for a long time so people can stop by, pick up a package or two, and give me my props. Same thing with the other thread.

You don't fuckin say... They're two albums that everyone had trouble finding that I got, one of them is the Audio Two's What More Can I Say and the other is Schoolly D's. I have both of those, but I heard people have trouble finding those two. I'll try to upload them.

[Tha Jsta]

I could find those in a minute. I had Schoolly D's album but I deleted it due to low hard drive space. Audio Two annoys me, or should I say Top Billin' does. But even though I may not like all the stuff you are talkin' about, I respect and appreciate it. I don''t know, but you may get the occasional asshole that says "fuck you" for saying or doing something he/she doesn't like. I am not like that.

[King Tron 1]

Which is why I leave Ja Rule & Fat Joe for those that want that trash. I also leave Daddy Yankee in the store, cuz they deserve it, I don't want that shit, but someone does.

[Tha Jsta]

I'd leave all that bullshit at the sto'. Everything I want is out of print, hard to find, or on vinyl.

[King Tron 1]

True, unless I want some of the new shit coming out like that new Buckshot album.

[Tha Jsta]

Who was all in The Boot Camp Clik? I know they were on a lot of Tupac's unreleased tracks because I have all of them.

[King Tron 1]

I don't that's for sure, MsRzaRecTaH was the one who put me on them, and that's rare since I usually discover artist by myself. She probably has most, if not all of the albums.
I just got into them, recently.

[Tha Jsta]

Do you like Tupac? If so, pick up "Tupac -- 1996 -- The Sessions (UNRELEASED).rar) CD I posted a couple of days ago. I know a few people asked for my other unreleased material, but it is such a big package that I will need a big demand for it. If I end up making it, it will have to be a multivolume archive (I think three volumes at the moment) each 500 MB due to people without premium account on MegaUpload. But for now, enjoy everything I have up.

[King Tron 1]

Can't say I'm the biggest Pac fan, but I liked that song he did with Big Daddy Kane, Wherever U R. You probably have that song, too. Can you help me out since you have a big collection of unreleased tracks. Check out my other thread called 3 "exclusive" tracks. This thread was meant to be a west-coast only thread, and I'm forcing it out of topic.

[Tha Jsta]

Give me the URL to the thread. Is it anything like this one? I don't wanna take all the links here and put them there, but I'll check it out.

[King Tron 1]

It's right under the Hip Hop section.

[King Tron 1]

Alright man, here you go. Didn't think you needed directions, but whatever.

Boot Camp Click is Buckshot of Black Moon, Smif And Wessun, OGC, Heltah Skeltah. They're all tight rappers but i was very disappointed in their last 2 albums The Last Stand and Casualties Of War.

[Pattch82]

This thread is dying! We need the BIG ass Tupac package!!!

Especially waiting on the THUG LIFE demo tracks!


Much props on everything you've upped so far Jsta!

[Tha Jsta]

I know and it's a shame. The "Respect The Architects" thread is dying--again. The only problem with the Tupac package is that when it is up, I most likely will discover more stuff that can be added to it. So it will have to be OK if everything is not included. The Thug Life (Demo Tape) will definitely be included...

By the way, where is the H.W.A. link you were gonna give me so I can see what I can do with that archive?

[CharlesJones]

I wish 2Pac was still alive. He was a tight rapper and he always spoke the real stuff. It's a shame he had to start acting like a god damn fool when he got with Death Row records because before he got with them, he wasn't acting crazy. When he got shot and robbed that night at the recording studio in New York, he started acting crazy after that and dissing lots of rappers. I still don't understand who would want him dead. Maybe it was that guy who 2Pac and his entourage beat up in the lobby of the hotel in Las Vegas who had 2Pac killed. That guy was a gang banger and he had a confrontation with 2Pac so i'm guessing that he had his homeboys kill him.


I wish MC Ren would've did some more solo albums. He complained about the music industry often after his last album Ruthless For Life but he shouldn't have tripped about that. Just because record companies are shady doesn't mean you have to stop doing music. Start your own label or release albums by having your own website. There's several types of ways that artists can release albums now without having to go through a record company. Ren does have his own website now but i haven't checked it out in a while. Maybe he's releasing music from his website. He did a straight to video movie a few years ago called Lost In Tha Game. I bet nobody saw it LOL. I'd rather have him still doing music than doing wack movies LOL. Too Short also should've continued doing music with Oakland producers he worked with in the past like Ant Banks and The Dangerous Crew. Ever since he moved to Atlanta, his music has been trash because of those wack southern beats. Spice 1's beats are trash now and i'm disappointed in him because he's a good rapper. Every album he's released since he left Jive records has been trash LOL. MC Eiht has also been doing some wack albums the last few years. Warren G should've stopped rapping after his first classic album because the rest of his albums are trash hahahahahahahahahahaha.

[Tha Jsta]

I am not even gonna speculate about Tupac's death. Maybe one day we will all know what exactly happened and who it was exactly that did it. I'm not religious like I should be, but the Lord has ways of doing things and he is doing this for a reason. It's just sad that he had to go so soon among others.

[Tha Jsta]

I just found some more unreleased material so I am GoldWaving that. I hope you guys have 1.05-1.15 GB available. This thing is gonna be three separate volumes--but _all of them must be downloaded in order for you to extract even one. I will still be downloading more as the day goes on. I got a few that I have been looking for for a long while now. I have well over 250 tracks altogether. Believe me when I say I am tryin' to hurry up...

[Tha Jsta]

I think I have an estimated 275 tracks ready to be packaged. This includes a Suge Knight interview, a few Thug Life Tracks, a few Outlawz tracks, a few Dramacydal tracks (before they were The Outlawz), an unreleased Napoleon tribute, The Sessions CD, and the Thug Life demo tape. So let's see...if I were to subtract all that, I would have an estimated 234 Tupac songs. I found a three part unreleased Tupac .rar series so I will get sighted assistance to get those. I have a feeling that they are either ones I already have or remakes of some things. If I get lucky, there will be even more material. There are only a couple that I can think of at the moment that I don't have. But I am working on this thing for y'all. Just have 1.5 GB to make sure you have enough memory. It shouldn't be that big but it is over 1 GB.

[Tha Jsta]

I downloaded the files and I had every track. Pisses me the hell off. So I guess I'll package them up now...

To download these Tupac archives, you must have exactly 1.18 GB reserved on your hard drives. I am uploading the first part as I am typing this. There are three parts: part 1 = 500.00 MB, part 2 = 500.00 MB, part 3 = 213.83 MB. You should not need a premium account to download these. Anything over 500 MB requires a premium account but there is a chance that anything over 499 MB will require one. Let me know if you get that message while attempting to download.

There are just a few tracks I did not have to include in this which pissed me off, but I am uploading it now because I know this thread is dying and it needs a boost. Hopefully this will do it, and hopefully you do not have even half of these. If you do, delete them because most likely, my copies are of better quality unless you happen to GoldWave all yours as well...

[Tha Jsta]

What you are about to download may overwhelm your system: 1213.83 MB of Tupac's unreleased and original material. This is like a dope fiend gettin' a kilo of freebase, you just can't resist. There is a "[Read First!]" document in there I would appreciate if you read first before looking at anything else.
NOTE: IN ORDER TO EXTRACT A SINGLE FILE FROM ANY OF THESE VOLUMES, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD ALL THREE OR ELSE IT WILL NOT WORK.
As I said before, there are a few tracks I probably could have gotten my hands on, but I wanted to get this out to all of y'all as soon as possible. There are probably tracks out there even I have not any knowledge about. So without further ado, I bring to you...:

I meant to tell you that I am working on a package called "Ice Cube: The Early Years (1986-1994)" which will feature his C.I.A. 12" from 1986 and all of his solo work from 1990-1994. I know these can still be bought in their remastered form, but this is a west coast thread and even though it is slowly dying, I wanna make it the best west coast thread around. Look out for that in a few days.

[Tha Jsta]

Oh shit! I just looked in the Tupac folder and I had some "RapCentral.co.uk Presents...". Delete that because I already have the track included, and plus that track is NOT GoldWaved. Don't worry about deleting it and not having the track because the GoldWaved version of the track is already included.

[Tha Jsta]

I would have put the link up last night, but I fell asleep before the upload was complete. This didn't take as long as I thought it would. I didn't put anything post 1994 in there because it marked a different era from then on. Everything in 1996 sounded different from 1998, and everything in 1998 definitely sounded different...

Ice Cube: The Early Years (1986-1994) (351.41 MB) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AEMA4KGT) (includes (C.I.A.) Cru' In Action 12" (1986), AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (1990), Kill At Will (1990), Death Certificate (1991), Wicked/U Ain't Gonna Take My Life 12" (1992), The Predator (1992), Lethal Injection (1993), Bootlegs and B-Sides (1994))

[Tha Jsta]

As of now, I am starting on an LBC package. This includes the G Funk artists from the 213 and ranges from 1993-1995. These include Dove Shack, The Twinz, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Warren G. I may come up with a few other things to GoldWave and throw in there.

I know some of these CDs can still be found, but when you are tryin' to keep a dope thread alive, you will do what you ordinarily would not. So be on the lookout for that. It will take a few days because I gotta GoldWave a few more CDs and look around for a few more.

[Tha Jsta]

It looks like it will take me a while to get this LBC package ready for you all (if you all ever come back). I am trying to include as much in this as I can without exceeding 500.00 MB so that's why it will take a while.

[Tha Jsta]

I guess years of persistence does pay off. For years I have been searching and I finally found it.

When Snoop was fresh out the county jail in 1991, he and the other two who made up 213 started recording in the back of V.I.P. Records, a record store in Long Beach. The owner let them use his extensive array of equipment and a demo track called Super Duper Snooper is what they came out with. That is what set their (especially Snoop's) career into motion. Warren G slipped the tape in at one of Dre's parties one time and Dre obviously liked it. As they say, the rest is history.

I have been looking for it for years and I finally found it today. It is virtually nonexistent except for those who have the cassette so I was very lucky to come across it. I will be including it in my LBC package for all of you to enjoy. As I said before, I have The LBC Crew's 1996 unreleased album, Our City, and a few unreleased tracks that did not go onto any CD.

I think the last thing I will throw in there is RBX's The RBX Files. What really surprised me is that he is the son of Bootsy Collins! I hope y'all know who Bootsy Collins is because if you don't, y'all need to get up on that Funk. Just check out the "Respect The Architects" thread for my Parliament package.

[Tha Jsta]

It is taking me longer than anticipated to get this LBC package out to y'all, but trust me when I say it will be worth the download. Some of the featured artists (not to mention their multiple albums) are 213, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, The Twinz, Warren G, RBX, The Dove Shack and more. If anybody ever visists this thread again, I'm sure they will like this one. I tried to gather up as much LBC artists as possible and find as much from them as I could. This package is over 400 MB, but is packed full with stuff rather hard to find and no matter what the size, people will appreciate it for what is inside.

[Tha Jsta]

Remember when I told y'all I found the Super Duper Snooper demo track by 213? Yea, well the one I found was 00:06:58. I later realised that the full version is 00:07:18 after I found the full version. I had to do some work on that track to make it a bit clearer. The best part is that I did not put it through any noise reduction filter. The one I found the first time was put through one before I even did anything to it. I don't know about you, but I can tell when something has been filtered.

I have now finished GoldWaving everything. All's I have to do now is archive everything. It will be around 470 MB so make room.

Finally, I am preparing something else for y'all west coast visitors but I am not saying anything until I put the link up. The only thing I will say is that it is a very uncommon group to find anything from much less anything from the group. I actually was surprised to come across this.

[Tha Jsta]

Do you remember when I posted that Low Profile album We're In This Together for y'all way back? Well they only released two 12" records and I found and downloaded both of them. I know I already posted the album up but I will make a complete package with all three so people can have everything at once instead of browsing the pages trying to locate it. I wish they made another album, it's a real shame they didn't. The west coast Hip-Hop community needed it. It was by far one of the best West Coast Old School albums of all time.

I also downloaded Compton legend Mixmaster Spade's Compton's In Effect. I know y'all have to know MixMaster Spade. It is unfortunate he died do to motorcycle injuries March of 2005.

If you thought that was all, you're kidding yurself. I lastly downloaded the Watts Gangstas 1995 CD, The Real. I will be GoldWaving all these and putting them up soon. I am currently uploading that Long Beach package I put together.

[Tha Jsta]

Now for the long awaited package: "Comin' Live From Tha LBC" (1993-2005). This is one of the biggest and fullest packages I have ever compiled. Don't worry, you will be able to download it. The reason I am saying that it is one of the fullest is because when you extract (or view) it, it has the artists and within those folders are the folders of each album or if there are any miscellaneous tracks, they are in there too.

Various Artists -- 1993-2005 -- Comin' Live From Tha LBC (470.67 MB) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JYZN0ONZ)

The Wascals (also known as Da Wascals and The Lil' Waskals) was an American hip hop group comprised of Buckweat (later changed to Buckwheed due to his resemblence of Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas), Spit-Anky, Alphie and St. Imey, they were signed to Delicious Vinyl Records. Ruthless attempted to sign Buckweat and The Wascals but ultimately, Buckweat and the group signed with Delicious Vinyl.

The Wascals were often compared to their labelmates The Pharcyde and were called "The Baby Pharcyde" as they shared many similarities. Both groups had four members and were originally produced by J-Swift. Buckweat appeared on the Pharcyde album Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde and Fatlip appeared on The Wascals song Dream and Imaginate.

Each of The Wascals possessed youthful, high-pitched voices and were named after characters from the Our Gang films, Buckweat was named after Buckwheat, Spit-Anky was named after Spanky, Alphie was named after Alfalfa and St. Imey was named after Stymie. Buckweat also wore an unkempt afro similar to Buckwheat, while Alphie wore his hair similar to Alfalfa.

The group recorded an album called Greatest Hits that was supposed to be released in 1994. The group had released four singles and shot three music videos in 1993, Class Clown, The Dips, Dream and Imaginate and Hard Rhymes and were considered to be the next big thing for Delicious Vinyl. However, the group did not get along with each other and broke up just before the album was set to be released. After the break up, Delicious Vinyl shelved the album and Alphie and Spit-Anky were dropped from the label.

This is the uncommonly found group I was talking to you about. Their only album as well as other miscellaneous tracks are being brought to you here straight from THA REAL O.G..

Respect due to JSTA, keep dropping them joints.. They are greatly appreciated

[Tha Jsta]

Trust me, I will. All of a sudden, people aren't visiting anymore. It's like the regulars have disappeared off the face of the earth. The same people must have disappeared that visit the "Respect The Architects" thread as well.

After I get done posting these next two albums, I will be taking a short hiatus to work on the other thread. It doesn't seem like a gang of people are visiting anyway. But no matter what happens, I cannot say "the hell with this thread" or the other one as well.

Whoever started this one, thank you for starting something that would eventually blow up within the next 1.5 years. (I am saying that because the first post was sometime in 2005.) And to Memory Man for the "Respect The Architects" thread, you will be remembered by me as one who began a string of memories that will never end as long as those who contribute and visit (even in the next 20 years if the site still exists) keep it alive. The same is said for this thread. At least the younger generation(s) to come will have somewhere where they can get educated about where it all began on each coast.

Westside Connection-Bow Down.

boo ya boo ya

peace

[Tha Jsta]

In 1995, this two-man group from the Eastside of Watts (Felony and D-Dope) dropped this dope album. If you love the LP Real Brothas by B.G. Knocc Out and Dre'sta, add this one to your list.

It starts out with a cool intro which turns funny at the end. They are about to cook it up (don't make me have to explain that one) when the reporter says that she is early so they hide their shit...you just gotta hear it. All the other tracks are real dope too. You can tell that these niggaz are The Real.

Compton, CA was introduced to Hip-Hop by Mix Master Spade. The self-professed "Original Compton Godfather Of Rap" actually got his start while going to school in NYC around 1977 or 1978. It was there that he was first taught how to scratch and cut on turntables.

Upon returning to Compton, his grandmother gave him money to buy turntables and stuff, but he used the money instead to buy clothes, since he noticed nobody in L.A. was into Hip-Hop at the time.

He did, however, pick up poppin' and lockin' while in Compton and after several back-and-forth trips to New York, he saw a DJ battle between Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, Jazzy, Afrika Bambaataa, and others. In that battle, he witnessed Grandmaster Flash scratching to a drum machine. Enthralled with his style, Spade wanted to get back into DJing.

Once back in Compton, he found some friends who were trying to DJ and he blew them away by showing them how to really do it. This led to him making tapes and selling the tapes around his area, on the corner, to drug dealers, etc.. This also led up to him being on Toddy T's Batterram in 1984.

Tragically, Mix Master Spade died due to complications from a motorcycle wreck Tuesday 15 March 2005.

I could not find any more information on him: e.g. date of birth, birth name, etc.. I thought it only right to end this (just for a short while) with a huge piece of west coast history. Enjoy!

I just can't stay away. I found something I'm sure you will appreciate. MC Ren produced it in 1990 and it's not a very well-known album. That's all I'm tellin' you. You'll just have to wast to see what it is. I will have it later or definitely early tomorrow morning.

If the demand is big enough, I just might do a Westside Connection package which will will include both of their albums. I am contemplating it because you can find their CDs anywhere.

[Tha Jsta]

First off, let me give y'all the link to that Low Profile package I was talking about. Next, I will drop the link (plus a bit of history) about the group I was dropping hints about earlier. I think the Low Profile package I am about to give you the link to is one of the most important packages I have posted here. It is no doubt a classic. The one I posted way back was the CD of We're In This Together. Included in this package is the LP. There IS a diference although the term "LP" has been used generically. For those who don't know Low Pro, check this. You will be glad you did.

Low Profile Package (80.17 MB) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6ZM50BQK) (includes We're In This Together (LP) (1989), Pay Ya Dues 12" (1989), Funky Song 12" (1990))







Capital Punishment Organisation, most commonly referred to as C.P.O., was a gangster rap group which consisted of rapper, Lil' Nation (Vince Edwards), DJ, DJ Train (Clarence Lars) and producer Young D. They released a single album in 1990, To Hell and Black, which was produced by MC Ren of N.W.A. fame and distributed by Capitol Records. To Hell and Black peaked at 33 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Billboard charts.

DJ Train, who had worked with artists such as MC Ren and J.J. Fad, died of smoke inhalation in a house fire on Saturday 25 June 1994. DJ Train was most well known as J.J. Fad's DJ and appeared on their debut album Supersonic and sophomore release Not Just A Fad.

Lil' Nation has since began identifying himself as (Tha) Boss Hogg, or C.P.O. in the singular form. C.P.O./Boss Hogg continues to make rap appearances including the 1994 original soundtrack to Above The Rim, Tupac's All Eyez On Me in 1996, hyphy artist E-A-Ski on his 1998 album, and the 2000 self-titled album by Tha Eastsidaz.

Remember when I posted that D.O.C. package on Monday 25 February 2008? Well I had The D.O.C.'s 1996 release Helter Skelter for a long while.

Here's just a bit of history on that album. In late 1994, The D.O.C. was fed up with Dre not paying him. According to him, everything (all the songs he ghostwrote for Death Row and everything he was featured on) he did not get a dime for. I don't know if he got paid for anything on Ruthless though. Anyway, when he left Death Row in late 1994 for Atlanta, Georgia, he took along with him some partially recorded tapes which was the basis for Dre and Cube's 1996 collaboration Heltah Skeltah. I am not sure if the album was ever made. It was supposed to be the follow up to The Chronic. Despite this, The D.O.C. still kept the name for his album. I heard there was a huge lawsuit in some way associated with this whole situation (I may look into that) but after all of that Dre and him became friends again.

I just found out that he is the father of Erykah Badu's daughter Puma (born Sunday 26 June 2005). I also heard that he may be releasing another album in 2009 called Voices Through Hot Vessels.

[King Tron 1]

^^^ What Up?

[CharlesJones]

Nobody wants to hear The DOC rap with that fucked up voice hahahahahahahahahahaha. That's messed up what happened to his voice. I never heard his album Nobody Can Do It Better before his voice got messed up but i remember seeing a video from that album and he was a tight rapper. He cracks me up on Dre's The Chronic album on the skit $20 Sack Pyramid when him and Warren G are playing a game. That would've been nice if Dre and Cube had finished Helter Skelter album and released it so their fans could've heard it. Suge Knight's ignorant fat ass probably wouldn't have released it if they had finished it.

[Tha Jsta]

You have never heard No One Can Do It Better? You gotta peep that! It's a classic! I got the album for Christmas three years ago and I think I wore it out.

No, it was not Warren G, it was Snoop on The $20 Sack Pyramid. It also featured two bitches called Big Tittie Nickie and Samara. Don't ask me who they are though. The Helter Skelter CD is not as badas people may think although it is not nearly as good as his first.

[CharlesJones]

Oh my bad, you're right. That is Snoop on that skit with him. Warren G was in Dre's Let Me Ride video with The DOC playing $20 Sack Pyramid when Dre was watching tv. Remember when Dre looked in his closet in the video and every shirt he had was the same? Hahahahahahahahahaha. He had 2 women in the bed with him and they asked him where was he going and he said get outta my business LOL.

[Tha Jsta]

I wish I knew what happened visually in videos. However, I do have that Fifteen Years On Death Row collection including the DVD besides the two audio CDs. Let Me Ride is on there and I heard basically what was happening.

[main_man]

d.o.c. "no one can do it better" = classic album.

i always thought andre 3000 from outkast was erykah badu's baby father.

[Tha Jsta]

He is. Ain't that some shit? I never would have thought The D.O.C. of all people. That's like Michel'le. She has sons by Dre and Suge.

[Tha Jsta]

To help complete your D.O.C. collection, here is his 1996 CD, helter Skelter. It is really worth a listen to. He really gives up the real on From Ruthless 2 Death Row (Do We All Part).

I am currently putting together a Death Row compilation. It is curren2y called "From The Vaults Of Death Row (UNRELEASED)" and features 30 tracks. I may change the name or I may not, I do not know yet. It is gonna be dope though, I can tell you that.

[CharlesJones]

I used to have Death Row's greatest hits cd and it had a dvd that came with it that had some Death Row's artists videos like Warren G and Nate Dogg's Regulate(Regulate was on Above The Rim soundtrack also and since the soundtrack was on Death Row, that's why Warren G's video is on the dvd because i know Warren wasn't with Death Row), Snoop's What's My Name and Gin And Juice videos, 2Pac's California Love and 2 Of Amerikka's Most Wanted videos, Dogg Pound's New York New York video, Dr Dre's Let Me Ride, Nuthin But A G Thing, Dre Day videos.

[CharlesJones]

What's the deal with rappers getting with Erykah Badu? She isn't cute LOL. I'm glad Common didn't get her pregnant LOL. I remember seeing a picture of Common with her at a awards show when they dated and the outfit he had on looked like a woman's dress hahahahahahahahahahaha. How come dudes turn into weirdos when they get with Erykah? LOL.

[Tha Jsta]

Death Row put out a double CD in 1996 which the first CD is enhanced. When you put it into the coputer, Nuthin' But A "G" Thang played automatically if you have QuickTime installed.

They also put out a tripple disc collection on Tuesday 26 December 2006 (which I got that Saturday of the same week). It featured two audio CDs and a DVD with 24 videos. The last nine or ten were Tupac videos.

[CharlesJones]

Thanks for the info on Death Row's triple disc cd with the videos dvd. I'm gonna have to check that out. I'll see if Amazon.com has it. Suge Knight is a god damn fool. He had a good thing going with Death Row and he fucked it up because of his ignorance. All of his artists would've probably stayed with the label if he would've treated everybody right and stop letting gangbangers hang out at the studio and the offices messing with the employees and scaring them.

[Tha Jsta]

The triple CD is called Fifteen Years On Death Row and it is a fairly decent collection. As for me, I have both sets: the 1996 set and the 2006 set. I heard there was another DVD released last year amd a DVD released in 2000.

[CharlesJones]

Why does Suge keep releasing this Death Row shit trying to make money off of old music? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. He had several new rappers about 8 years ago like Crooked I, Eastwood and some other people but he never released any albums from them. That's fucked up. Only album he put out was Kurupt's Against The Grain album and it sucked LOL. Kurupt's stupid ass went back to Death Row after Suge took advantage of his ass financially even though Snoop and Daz tried to tell him not to go back to Death Row because Suge can't be trusted. Now Kurupt left Death Row again. He should've never went back.

[Tha Jsta]

I bet Suge has this walk-in closet full of cassettes of artists' rough recordings of which were never finished. A lot of the unreleased stuff is circulated around but who knows how much more really exists.

[Tha Jsta]

Here is that Death Row compilation for you guys I mentioned earlier. A lot of these are live freestyles and a lot of them are originals and the like. Initially, it had 30 tracks, but tracks 16 and 17 were two verses of a song that could have been merged into one track so that's what I did. You most likely would not notice a thing because I take time when I do those types of things. Don't worry, nothing was lost, it is all there. There are 29 tracks total in the archive all of which are GoldWaved.

I am now working on another massive package. Even though it is not the west coast, it is the midwest and after all, Eazy did start their careers (as far as most people know). Before they hooked up with Eazy, they were back in Cleveland, Ohio going under the name B.O.N.E. Enterprise. The _true Bone fans know that Creepin On Ah Come Up was _not their first record. Faces Of Death Was so don't let anybody tell you any different. The record is very hard to find--even on the Internet. But I have that plus more than 10 others.

I am a real Bone fan and have recordings most do not. I wish I had more but 16 albums plus some miscellaneous tracks should cover it. I don't have any promo CDs, maxi-singles, or any original tracks (except one) the E. 1999 Eternal CD. So I guess I don't have the copplete collection but this will be damn near coplete.

[Tha Jsta]

How many of you would download a multivolume archive packed full with all the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony albums? If a lot of you would actually download it, I will even throw in there the Bone Thug affiliates (people associated with the group). I don't wanna do this if people will not grab it so I am asking y'all before I do it. I have over 15 albums...

[Pattch82]

Hell yeah man, I'd definitley download that shit!!!

´'m on holiday in Tenerife at the min so I havent been able to download anything for over a week, I'm dyin to get home so I can get that LBC package and the Death Row one, and I'd defo get the BONE one too!



Cheers!

[Tha Jsta]

Did you get that Tupac package you really wanted? I found a few more tracks afterword but I am not puttin' anymore Pac up. I am still waiting on that H.W.A. link you told me you had.

Where did you say you were at?

[Pattch82]

I'm in Tenerife at the moment, I'll sort that link out for you as soon as I get home.

Havent downloaded the 2Pac package yet either, thats top of my to do list when I get back.



Cheers!

[Tha Jsta]

I had heard of the place, but where is it at? I think you will enjoy everything I have put up which you have not yet downloaded. What exactly did you search for on Yahoo! because I wanna see if I can find the same thing?

[Pattch82]

I'm gettin home from my hol on monday so hopefully I'll download all of this shit then. I'll also finally up that link for you too Jsta, sorry to keep you waitin.

This is a very rare piece of west coast history. This is Summer Jam '94 with Eazy-E and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (only on two songs). There are also occasional appearances from Dresta. I wish B.G. Knocc Out could have been there rappin' with his brotha. I don't know if he was there, but he wasn't sayin' anything if he was. It is rather difficult to come across anything Eazy did outside of his releases before he died, but this is one of those moments you ought to treasure. Here you go: a very rare piece of Eazy outside the studio in mid 1994.

Nobody cares about Bone Thugs And Harmony. They did 2 good albums which were Creepin On A Come Up and E.1999 Eternal. They fell off after E.1999 Eternal. The Art Of War album is horrible. Thug Luv with 2Pac is the only good song on that album LOL. All of their solo albums are terrible. Only solo albums i heard is Krayzie Bone's first one and Flesh And Bone's first one. Is Flesh And Bone still locked up?

[Tha Jsta]

You could not be anymore wrong than you are now. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (A.K.A. B.O.N.E. Enterprise) always will be one of the best in my book NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Their style isn't the same as a decade and a half ago and even the new artists they collaborate with surprise me, but their roots are still evident. I will always show love for B.O.N.E..

And yes, Flesh is still locked up. I think he is goin' up for parole this year. I think his 11 year sentence is up in 2011.

[CharlesJones]

LOL@what you said hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Fuck Bone. They suck. I don't listen to them. LOL@Flesh And Bone isn't getting out until 2011 hahahahahahahahahaha. He's a dickhead. Stupid ass. Dumb ass rappers can't stay away from the streetlife.

[Tha Jsta]

Don't judge who you do not know personally. I hope you are not from Cleveland because they would blast your ass right back to where you're at now.

Flesh got locked up for threatening somebody with an AK-47. He wasn't slangin' or nuthin'.

Yes i'm from Cleveland and i could care less if Bone got upset with me if i told them i didn't like their music. I don't kiss people's asses. There are a lot of artists i don't like and Bone is one of them. I like Creepin On A Come Up and E.1999 Eternal but that's it. I met Layzie Bone at a record store in Cleveland when his first solo album came out. He was promoting his album at the store and he signed autographs for people. He seems like a alright guy.

[CharlesJones]

Flesh And Bone is a dumb ass for threatening somebody with a gun. If he would've handled that situation differently, his stupid ass wouldn't be locked up.

[Tha Jsta]

I don't blame you. I don't kiss _anybody's ass no matter what the benefits. That's cool that he was in the record store... Just think if whatever circumstance made it so they never met up with Eazy or Eazy didn't take the time to meet them. Just think if all's they had was their Faces Of Death album. That album is their best in my book.

[CharlesJones]

I never heard Faces Of Death album. It was nice of Eazy E to listen to them and sign them to Ruthless because a lot of artists don't try to help other artists get signed. Eazy E's lyrics on Bone's For The Love Of Money song is tight. I like when he said standing on the corner straight slanging rocks. Aww shit, here comes the muthafucking cops so i dash and i duck and i hide behind a tree making sure the muthafuckas don't see me. Now my fat sack of rocks, hell yeah i stuffed em. Police on my draws so i had to pause and yeah, it's still muthafuck em. Now my game is tight. Tight as fuck is my game. Eazy E, CPT or Eric Wright, it's all the same. Now niggas might trip on how i stack my grip. I got to have it bitch. For the love of this, muthafuckas LOL.

[Tha Jsta]

Their style on Faces Of Death is different from all of their subsequent albums. They come off with that Jamaican-petois style that you will never hear again throughout their entire careers. Not many people know about it and it is ultra rare to find in stores and maybe a bit easier to find on the web.

I got a hold of a few maxi-singles to include in the B.T.N.H. package. This will be over 1.20 GB in size. I am still trying to collect whatever I can so I won't miss out on anything. I don't want to have a partial package so that's why it's taking a lot of time.

[Tha Jsta]

I came across around 15 vinyls and maxi-singles from Bone Thugs.... That's not counting any solo releases because I am not including solo releases in the package. If I did, the package would be at least 2.5+ GB! I don't think people would want to spend their entire day downloading a 6+ part package. I am trying to include as many vinyls and maxi-singles as possilae because any single--especially 12" is very uncommon for the average person. So I'm gonna be adding even more to the collection. There will probably at least 30 folders in the archive. This is going to be at least 3 parts if not more.

[Tha Jsta]

I must have missed some things because I just found some more B.T.N.H. maxi-singles. I so far have 32 folders in total and there is gonna be more than 8 added so I'm guessing around 50+ folders!

[CharlesJones]

Why are you trying to keep this topic alive? Nobody is responding to this shit but you hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I like the fact that you like westcoast rap because most people on here don't talk about westcoast rappers but you gotta stop posting to this topic because you're wasting your time talking to yourself LOL.

[Tha Jsta]

It's not often, but people do reply. I just happen to be the one to post links to audio and that's is what's keeping this topic alive. One day there will be no other place people can go to get this stuff and this will be a place where people can collect a bunch of archives and learn a lot from them. I don't post everyday but I do contribute.

[CharlesJones]

Do you like Too Short? Give me your opinion about him and how do you feel about him being on the south's dick now the last 4-5 albums he's done. I like his old music but he's disappointed me the last 2 albums Blow The Whistle and Get Off The Stage. His last compilation album I Love The Bay also sucks and i can tell he tried to cater to the youngsters in Oakland with that album because of the hyphy craze but the beats on there are terrible. I wish he would get back with Ant Banks and The Dangerous Crew again for his production like he did in the 90's.

[Tha Jsta]

I like his original stuff. Not now, not in the 90's, but in the 80's. Don't Stop Rappin', Players, and Raw, Uncut, and X-Rated were his three best releases. You know it's old school when they only come out on cassette and vinyl.

[CharlesJones]

You tripping if you don't like his 90's albums. Shorty The Pimp, Short Dog's In The House, Get In Where You Fit In, Cocktails, Gettin It are very good albums. Gimme your opinion about MC Ren, Ice Cube, WC, MC Eiht, Spice 1, The Conscious Daughters.

[Tha Jsta]

I was never really into the Bay Area stuff to begin with. I gotta lotta love for Cube and Ren. I bump their stuff regularly. I have always liked them niggaz from Compton. MC Eiht is cool, DJ Quik is cool, 2nd 2 None is cool, but I never really got into them either. I don't know about these new people and most of the older ones are catering to a younger audience which pisses me off.

[CharlesJones]

Oakland got some good rappers and some bad rappers like most cities. I guess you don't like E-40 hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I don't like him either but his slang makes me laugh. DJ Quik used to look like a fag when he had a perm hahahahahahahahahahaha. MC Eiht shitted on him when they were beefing back in the day. LOL@MC Eiht said on Def Wish III song, you don't wanna see me, DJ Quik in a khaki bikini hahahahahahaha. MC Eiht's albums are better than Quik's albums.

Just to let y'all know what I'm working on other than the B.T.N.H. package...

On Eazy's Ruthless Records label, there were a handful of artists that were not recognised enough or at all for that matter. So I am here to bring them to the forefront and get them their credit that they so much deserve and have for years and years.

I am working on a rare Ruthless Records release package. Some examples of artists (which you may not even know) are A.L.T., A.T.B.A.N. Klann, Blood Of Abraham, H.W.A., Pistol, Tab and Da Villon, Frost, Steffon... just to name a few. There are a couple of albums I am still searching for but this should be a one-of-a-kind package, I can almost guarantee it. These artists have the rarest and dopest shit out that isn't even in print anymore and when they were released from Ruthless, some of them were never to be heard from to this day.

[main_man]

yeah, i gotta say quik won the beef with mc eiht. and i like both of em, but quik just came with better lyrics & he makes his own beats.

[Tha Jsta]

His birth name is Rojai S. Trawick, but most know him as Mista Grimm. He was featured on the Poetic Justice soundtrack and the Higher Learning soundtrack. He has released a few 12"s in the time span of 1993-1995 and some even question if his album Situation: Grimm really exists.

Well for those who are wondering, yes, it really exists. It is a very rare album to track down. However, since I am "the King of all west coast rarities," it is my duty that I bring to you Mista Grimm's 1994 album Situation: Grimm. To be honest with you, I don't even know if this was ever released. But either way, here it is.

Depending on your time zone in the world, you probably already had your Mothers' Day or going to have it. No matter when it is, here is my Mothers' Day post. Not much of one, but...

This is fo' all tha mamaz out there. Tha ones who are strugglin' with their child/children, workin' 9 to 5 and gettin' fucked up pay. Tha mothers who have kids by those no-good-fo'-nuthin' niggaz who fuckin' bitches to get that nutt just like a squirrel. Keep ya head up girl, change gon' come. The Lord is lookin' down on you right now. Y'all got love from this nigga.

Now to those hoez with attitudes (and I am not talkin' about tha group), happy Mothers' Day to y'all even though you fuckin' niggaz and havin' babies just to collect a state check. Y'all some fucked up bitches and I ain't got no love for y'all any otha day. All ya kids gon' realise one day just why they are on this planet and that is a real fucked up reason.

I could go on and on but my point is I got love for all tha female mamaz out there today. Especially to my mother 'cause she was tha only one who was ever there fo' me so this goes out to her know what I'm sayin'?

[Tha Jsta]

These three lovely hoez burst onto the rap scene in 1990 with their independent album, Livin' In A Hoe House on Drive By Records. Originally from Chicago, they moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. The members were: Kim "Baby Girl" Kenner, Tanya "Jazzy" Kenner, and Dion "Diva" Devoux but like any good girl group there were some lineup changes later on. For the second album "Diva" was replaced by "Go-di", and when one of the girls got pregnant "Baby Girl's" cousin, Ty James took her place. Coincidentally, ty was the daughter of the legendary Rick James.

The group's name was a take on N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude), and much like fellow female rapper Choice, the hoez used explicit rhymes to combat all of the misogynist rap songs by men at the time. The hoez wanted it to be known that they were sexual predators and would not stand for men's shit.

Their debut album was nothing spectacular production wise, but lyrically H.W.A. left a mark on the listener's brain. No topic was taboo, whether it be the struggles with a not-so-well-endowed boyfriend (Little Dick), phone sex hot lines (1-900-Bitches), good pussy (Tight), cunnilingus (Eat This), or the days in the life of a nymphomaniac (Freaky Daze). The album's first single and probably least explicit song from the album, Funk Me, received respectable radio airplay and video rotation on The Box.

In 1994, H.W.A. returned with an EP titled, Az Much Ass Azz U Want. The only single was All That (Juzt A Little Action). The hoez outdid themselves with the music video (which was banned). Apparently, the video was so raunchy that not even The Box would air it. Considering The Box generally aired all of the videos that other music stations wouldn't, one could only imagine how truly explicit this video must have been. I wonder if the album cover was any indication...

Now, under the supervision of rap legend Eazy-E on his Ruthless Records label, the hoez's second release boasted better production, lyrics, and a nicer album cover. This EP has most definitely aged well like many of the other west coast rap releases from the era. Lyrically, no new territory was explored, but the EP's purpose was to prepare the public for their upcoming full-length album, Hoez In Training. Unfortunately, with Eazy-E's untimely death the following year, the album never happened and H.W.A. split.

Baby girl went on to record a solo album on a Chicago independent record label, but other than that, these hoez remain missing in action. I wonder if I call 1-900-Bitches if someone will know the answer...

I know when I post a package I say that it is worth it and to get it while you can, and that is all true. But _this package is _so _very _rare and you will spend time--a lot of time searching for these in digital format. I _really recommend everybody download this very rare collection. All of the included images did not come with the original archives. Consequently, I had to search and download them separately. I tried to put them in their respective folders and I apologise if I messed up but I don't think I did. Again, if you know of H.W.A. and are down with them like myself, or if you want to hear their shit, download this. Just give credit where credit is due :)

I told y'all that I was putting together a very nice collection of the rarest and most unknown releases on Ruthless Records. But I did not know that I would get it out to you guys that fast. This package is just under 500.00 MB and believe me when I say it is _packed full of rare releases. Even if I wanted to include just one more 12" or album I wouldn't be able to because I somehow got it just under 500.00 MB. Since there is so much included, I will list these in list format in chronological order. Usually, I just list them in parentheses but this package has more than any other package. I tried to search for and include as many images as I could for each artist and each of their albums within. I think I did fairly well with that but there were a couple of which I could not locate.

If you download this and bump these, people will probably ask you where you got those. People ask me all the time. You know what to tell them :).

I don't know much about this nigga but I think he is Mexican and from San Diego, California. His name is Royal T (not to be confused with the female Royal T from Compton who made up 1⁄2 of Menajahtwa). I can't even find him on Discogs (http://www.discogs.com). All's I know is this album (Coast To Coast) was released (I think) in 1998. I am not positive that it was even released because I cannot find a track listing anywhere for it let alone the artist himself.

With the year being 1998, the G Funk sound was for the most part no longer to be heard. That era has came and went :(. But Royal T here keeps the G Funk sound alive and that's why I like this album because it still got that '94 sound. Peep this and see how you like it.

Bytches With Problems or BWP was a female rap duo that consisted of Lyndah McCaskill and Tanisha Michele. The group became well known for their sexual and explicit lyrics and were often referred to as a female version of 2 Live Crew. The group released the successful album, The Bytches but the follow up album, 1993's Life's A Bytch was shelved days before it's release date with no explanation from their label. Some confusion regarding the band's discography comes from an R&B band in the late 1990s, whose name, Brothers With Potential, had the same initials as The Bytches. The Brothers' Always On My Mind release in 2000 is often mistakenly listed as a Bytches With Problems releaie.

BWP's The Bytches has been out of print for sometime making this joint sort of a rarity. I heard this joint goes for about $40-$45 USD (used) or $170 USD (still packaged).

I Know these Bytches are not from the west coast, but they are lyrically similar to N.W.A.. Some may even refer to them as the "cousins of N.W.A.". They remind me somewhat of H.W.A. as well and H.W.A. wasn't even from California: they were from Chicago. So here are some hard core Bytches for ya eardrums.

If you thought Hoez With Attitude and Bytches With Problems were......whatever you wanna call 'em, check out my girl Choice. She straight outta Houston, Texas. I heard Willie D (of Geto Boys) ghostwrote for her. I also heard that he dissed her sometime afterword. Anyway, she released two albums: The Big Payback (1990) and Stick-N-Move (1992). I know this is a West Coast thread and I'm probably fuckin' it up, but she reminds me of N.W.A. in some weird way. See what you think...

On Saturday 19 April 2008, I uploaded a Wascals package for all of y'all. It included their only album Greatest Hits along with a bunch of miscellaneous remixes and instrumentals. Earlier today, I came across The Dips 12" (released in 1994 on Delicious Vinyl). I downloaded it, GoldWaved it, re-archived it, uploaded it, and now I am posting the link for all of y'all to download. If anybody downloaded the package I posted almost a month ago, then you'll wanna download this to aid in completing your collection. Any Wascals single is very hard to come by. That's like me tryin' to find an A.T.B.A.N. Klann or Blood Of Abraham single (which I really am hoping to come across one day). The images included in this archive were _not included in the original one.

Sometime in 2006, I had downloaded an Eazy-E tribute mixtape from Eazy-E CPT (http://www.eazy-ecpt.com) entitled We Want Eazy. It was approximately 103.** MB in size. Most of the files were MP3 and a couple were WMA. And some had bit rates under 128 KBPS and sample rates under 44100 hertz. Some were over 128 KBPs as well and they all were at different volumes so one would end up breaking their knob just to hear something then to turn it down afterwords. The point I'm trying to make here is that these were all fucked up. There were 27 tracks total.

There were artists I had never even heard of but when I listened to the mixtape, shit was dope!!! I mean these beats were cool and these niggaz had a tight flow. There was only one track by these white boys who could not even rap. It should be a crime for little boys like that even to get near a mic. They were called The Lethal Four. There was a B.T.N.H. remix of Foe Tha Love Of ! and A.L.T. (former Ruthless artist) even did a track with Slow Pain. To top it all off, Erin Wright (Eazy's daughter) did a track called Dear Daddy over Tupac's Dear Mama beat. That was my personal favourite.

Before I had GoldWave, I had burned the mixtape onto two CDs: 14 tracks on disc 1 and 13 tracks on disc 2. I had forgotten about the whole thing until I put it into the stereo. Needless to say, I extracted the tracks from both of the CDs and now I'm GoldWaving them. I am putting all the necessary information (ID3 tags) into the MP3s. This is more information than Eazy-E CPT (http://www.eazy-ecpt.com) would probably ever take the time to put in much less encode their files better (all in the same format with the same sample rates and bit rates).

You will really want to download this because I don't even think it's up anymore although I could be wrong. I am currenly working on track 12 on disc 1. I should have it for you guys soon.

First off, let me give props to my nigga Bad-N-Fluenz for hooking me up with this. Now that I did that, let me explain a bit about it.

Frederick Benz, better known as Freddy B., was a part of The Dangerous Crew and one of Too Short's high school friends. There is no record of any solo music he recorded and to find anything is very rare. He started recording in 1984 to my knowledge, although he could have started earlier. Anyway, here is his 1992 cassette-only From The Old School. Don't expect to find any record of it on any web site, although you _may find something on eBay. I have also included some rare tracks he has done. These may be on some 12" out there or some cassette, but I have no idea and neither do most people. So collect this gem...

Since I learned how to download from YouTube and convert my downloads using separate software, I will be uploading some "package reissues". They will include videos converted to AVI format with the highest quality possible. Let me know if there needs to be changes made and if there is something wrong with them. These package reissues will also include releases that I did not have at the time of the original packaging: e.g. Tone Loc, J.J. Fad, etc.. Along with the videos, there will also be "audio video versions". This means that with every video, I opened the video in GoldWave (which only decodes the audio portion) and GoldWaved it as I normally do. This is useful if you don't want the video and just want the video versions in audio format (if you were burning to CD for example). Look out for those.

To most people that may not know them, Brownside (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownside) were a Chicano (I call them Méxícáno) rap group from California. They were actually part of the Sureño gang and used Sureño slang in their music. In Toker's words, they were gang bangers trying to be rappers--not rappers trying to be gang bangers. They recorded a few tracks on Eazy's Ruthless Records label but never released an album.

I don't know how rare this is, but here it is anyway: their 1996 album Eastside Drama.

For those who are anticipating the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony mega-mega pack, I haven't forgotten about it. In fact, I just downloaded and GoldWaved about 10 unreleaied tracks last night. The lppoximate size of this multivolume archive in uncompressed form is 1.70 GB. That is what it will equal when you extract it. This size will increase due to the recovery record I include in all of my archives (in case of corruption).

I know there is still a lot I do not have, but 50 folders in all is pretty damn good. I will _hopefully have this uploaded within the next week. There will be four separate volumes and possibly five. I do not know at this time.

I never reveal my sources. Just know that those P2P/file sharing programs such as BareShare, Kazaa (or however you spell it), LimeWire and every other program to me is worthless. I am in no way affiliated with them. Instead, I have my own methods of searching. I have developed the ability to search with effective keywords and phrases and know what to look for. I know what looks good and what looks like a dead end. I'm not perfect; however, my methods of searching generates great results, better than those of the file sharing programs. That goes for quality as well as quantity.

This just may be the best mega mix in the history of mega mixes. Just about everybody on Ruthless Records is featured in this 00:30:35 mega mix. To make it even that much better, I put together an archive containing only audio (GoldWaved) in MP3 format and a video in AVI format of the mega mix. If the quality isn't that great, I apologise. It shouldn't be bad though because the bit rate was set at 1500 and 640x480 resolution. The audio of the video file is 256 KBPS. That's the reason why the file is so big. Tell me what you guys think.

After months and months of gathering and collecting all the Bone I possibly could, I finally have my final product ready to present. I'm not gonna spend the whole evening talking, so I'mma just get into what's included. I will not include the Miscellaneous Tracks folder since I'm speaking on it now. I wish I had more than this, but this is the best I can do.
NOTE: In order to be able to extract just one file, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD ALL FOUR VOLUMES AND PLACE THEM INTO THE SAME FOLDER. The exact combined file size is 1.90 GB. Now get ready to read.

^^hoooly shit dude GOOD JOB i know someone who would cut his freakin arm off for this collection

[Tha Jsta]

I'm glad you like it. The Miscellaneous Tracks folder includes an EXTREMELY RARE remix of Tha Crossroads featuring Flesh-N-Bone. It was only played on 92.3 Da Beat. Initially, the quality sucked. Then, I really fucked with it: put it through all types of filters... Now it really souds good with MEGA bass. I can almost guarantee you that you won't be able to find it anywhere else. I will promise you that this particular copy you won't be able to find anywhere else.

[main_man]

hey, jsta. you always puttin' in work man. props.

anyway you can get a amg song for me? the original "janine". it was the b-side of the "bitch betta have my money" single. i cant find that shit nowhere, and i remember it used to bump.

[TSA]

the Chronic cannot be matched

[Tha Jsta]

I just looked that AMG 12" up. You are looking for B3 (Janine). The record was released in 1991. I'll try to find it.

[Tha Jsta]

I don't know much at all about this nigga, but I heard this album is very rare so that's why I'm hookin' y'all up today. I think he's the Bay Area type but homie got some good beats. This is not even documented on Discogs (http://discogs.com/artist/Caine). I hope somebody can use this though.

[AnnonymousOne]

Does anyone have "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" by K-Dee???? It was the B-side to "Hittin' Corners".

[CharlesJones]

K-Dee's album sucks but i like Hittin Corners song.

[CharlesJones]

I remember AMG. I heard that he's female rapper Boss's cousin. I never heard his albums before. How many did he do? I remember hearing about his song Bitch Better Have My Money but i never heard the song. He has a song on Trespass soundtrack i like called Don't Be A 304. Did anybody hear the collabo album he recently did with DJ Quik? I saw a video for their first single and it sucks.

[Longbongcilvaringz]

Soul On Ice

by a long, long way.

all People Under the Stairs albums also.

[CharlesJones]

I didn't like Soul On Ice album that much because of the beats but Ras Kass is one of my favorite mc's and he's ill.

[Longbongcilvaringz]

ah..

good memories looking at the first couple of pages of this thread.

was listening to "At the Speed of Life" just the other day at work.

great fucking album.

Murs, Cypress, PUTS, Psycho Realm, Living Legends, Aceyalone, J5, DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born, Blackalicious.

I'd even throw in The Games two albums.

all goodness.

and after listening to Soul on ice lots in the last week, i really do think its the best.

[Longbongcilvaringz]

I didn't like Soul On Ice album that much because of the beats but Ras Kass is one of my favorite mc's and he's ill.

First couple of times i thought similar.

But after that, and so many subsequent plays, its all mint.

Great Vibe.

[CharlesJones]

Yeah Xzibit's first album is good but i think his 40 Days And 40 Nights and Restless albums are better. Xzibit fell off with his beats. His lyrics are still good but i didn't like his last 3 albums because of the beats.

[Longbongcilvaringz]

Yeah those albums are nice also.

I never got into him past that though.

But i think a lot of people dismiss him because of his recent work, not realising his back catalogue.

[CharlesJones]

Yeah Xzibit has been dissed by some rap critics because they think he became a sellout when Restless album came out because he started to become mainstream and then he started doing movies. The Alkaholics even dissed him at one time because he wasn't tight with them anymore after his Restless album.

[Longbongcilvaringz]

ah, i forgot about the Alkoholiks

they had a couple of pretty nice albums.

[AnnonymousOne]

K-Dee's album sucks but i like Hittin Corners song.

K-Dee made the type of album that grows on you over time. When I first listened to his whole album I didn't think much of it. But over time I have grown to like it. A few songs are really good ("Ass, Gas, or Cash", "K-Swinger", "Ain't Nothin' Poppin'"). I appriciate his unique quality.

[AnnonymousOne]

I didn't like Soul On Ice album that much because of the beats but Ras Kass is one of my favorite mc's and he's ill.

I agree, the production was pretty weak. It's a shame. If he would have had good production, "Soul On Ice" would have been beyond classic. It's funny, because it came out in 1996, when G-Funk (and all rap & hip hop in general) production was at its climax. And yet he still couldn't get strong production.

[CharlesJones]

Rasassination album by Ras Kass was also weak because of the beats. Have you heard his unreleased album Van Gogh? That wasn't that good either because of beats. Ras Kass has the same problem Canibus has. They both are terrible at picking good beats.

[Tha Jsta]

Hey guys. I know I've been gone for a while, but I've been dedicating a lot of my time to my blog. But I haven't forgotten about y'all. In fact, I have a bunch of stuff I will upload and post the links to soon. I got a few packages for y'all and ya hard drives.

[Tha Jsta]

The Bloods and Crips project was assembled by producer Ronald "Ronnie Ron" Phillips and rapper Tweedy Bird Loc. Actual gang members from both sides auditioned, but only five from each were chosen and thus were in. They only released two albums before parting ways to form their own groups.

Knoc-Turn'al (born Royal Harber) is known for writing for Dr. Dre and has even been featured on some of his songs. Despite having close ties to Dre, he signed with Elektra Records who offered him his own label, L.A. Confidential. Knoc-Turn'al was supposed to release his first album entitled Knoc's Landin' in 2002 but it was never released. You can probably guess I already have this album so now it's my duty to share it with my fellow West Coast G's.

In 2007, J-Flexx released his first official album entitled Billboard Dreams. Before that, he put out a nine-track promo mixtape. I got both of them for y'all today. In my opinion, his Stayin' Alive album is way better than these but if I were you, I'd show the nigga some love and get this stuff. I talked to Flexx via e-mail and he told me he was tryin' to find me some exclusives that were not on the Stayin' Alive album. I don't know when he will get back to me, but when he does (hopefully he will) I'll ask him if I can share the tracks he is gonna send me with y'all. But for now, peep the mixtape and then peep the album.

[AnnonymousOne]

Damn man! Some J-Flexx exclusives would be the shit! Hopefully he gets back at you.

I got a similar situation. The other day Chocolate contacted me in appreciation for putting up a video for one of his "Life-n-a-Day" songs. Not too many people bump Chocolate. Anyways, he said he could get me some exclusive Slim The Mobster. Slim The Mobster is his nephew. Chocolate used to be on Death Row back in late '91 and early '92. I asked if he had any old school exclusives of himself from way back. I know he recorded a few tracks other than "Niggas Is Like That". Hopefully he'll get back at me.

[AnnonymousOne]

Much respect Jsta. Keep doin what you do. Right now, you're one of the primary suppliers of rare shit.

[Tha Jsta]

I hope he does get back to me 'cause I got love for the nigga. I guess he doesn't have time to check it a lot, but... Who is Chocolate? I never heard of him and I know ALL of those Death Row niggaz especially the ones who were there since the label got started.

[Tha Jsta]

Hell yea, just check the blog and you'll get the rarity updates. Oh yea, did I mention that I got two UNRELEASED Top Dogg Death Row albums and one Tha Eastsidaz UNRELEASED album for y'all coming up? I'm GoldWaving them right now. Don't change that URL.

[AnnonymousOne]

At a time when Death Row was considering signing the Convicts they were also considering signing Chocolate. Chocolate's music career goes way back. His first major commercial success was ghost writing "Ice Ice Baby" for Vanilla Ice. He also produced alot of the album. Chocolate was never paid adequately for his work, that is why Suge Knight held Vanilla Ice over a balcony one controversial evening, to extort payment to Chocolate. Suge was Chocolate's manager at the time. That's why Suge was considering making Chocolate an inmate. In fact alot of the money extorted from Vanilla Ice was used to fund the early days of Death Row. So Chocolate began to wonder if Suge's actions were actually for him or for Suge himself. Beings this money helped Death Row, Suge promised an early release for Chocolate. Suge obviously lied and kept alot of the money owed to Chocolate. Chocolate was a good producer and a good rapper, but he soon found himself placed last on the list for Death Row releases, so he left the label. There was actually some sort of lawsuit between Chocolate and Death Row, but I've never been able to find any information on that. He later released an album "Life-n-a-Day" off of Death Row on Ghetto Life Records in 1993. The album is out of print and a bit hard to find.

You can hear one of his Death Row songs here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVIAnOpZEmo

[Tha Jsta]

Have I got some rarities for y'all today...get ready for this one.

Top Dogg was born Derek Wade on 17 February 1979 in Missouri but raised in Compton. He has been criticised for having a similar vocal style as former Death Row Records artist Snoop Dogg. He recorded tracks in 1998 and 1999 on Death Row that were never released (surprise surprise). He also recorded a few more tracks for his 2000 album Every Dogg Has His Day which was shelved because his contract expired and he was never renewed.

The tracks he recorded in 1998-1999 were not mastered for commercial release thus being thrown in the Death Row vault and never to be heard of until now. Some of the tracks on his 2000 album were from this set of tracks; however, these were actually ready for release but still they are in the Death Row vault. A couple of tracks were renamed on Every Dogg Has His Day but are the same as those other tracks. A few minor changes can be noted if you compared the finished ones on the unreleased album and the ones which don't have a particular album they were on... You most likely won't even notice it, but I faded out the volume for track 8 on the Dogg Dayz album (full volume to silence, linear), track 4 on Every Dogg Has His Day (full volume to silence, linear), and track 11 on Every Dogg Has His Day (full volume to silence, logarithmic) because this creates a much better effect.

To start this off, here is the album called Dogg Dayz that wasn't an official album, but a real good set of Top Dogg tracks straight from the vault of Death Row and remastered by me.

Here is his official album from 2000 called Every Dogg Has His Day. Some tracks that appear on here appeared on the other collection but some of these are renamed and have minor differences but have better production because these are what were supposed to be released.

[Edgar Erebus]

Is that the same Top Dogg who raps 4th verse on "All Bout U" greatest hits version?

I heard he had another moniker, something like YGD da Top Dawg, to differ him from Snoop.

[Tha Jsta]

Damn AnonymousOne, I never heard of this nigga or The Convicts! I don't know what's wrong with me, but that explains why Suge held white boy over a balcany. And they made a big deal when Michael Jackson did it...but that's a different story. I got more coming soon.

[Tha Jsta]

Yes! I don't know if anybody knows this, but the Top Dogg version of All 'Bout U is a remix done after Pac died. The first _released one features Snoop. However, the _original one features no one. Look at my massive Tupac package way back in this thread for the original.

[Tha Jsta]

Hey AnonymousOne, do you have that Chocolate album? Also, can you archive all those Death Row unreleased tracks you put on YouTube into one RAR file so I can download them all at once. I know they are videos, but I'm assuming you have these in MP3 format...

[main_man]

yeah, the convicts was 3-2 & big mike. big mike became a geto boy on " 'til death do us part" cause willie dee left the group. they put out an album on rap-a-lot records. if you like the geto boys you should check it out.

[AnnonymousOne]

Yeah, I'm working on a file now. It's pretty large. It's about 4GB. All of the tracks I have on Youtube isn't even near the half of it.

[Tha Jsta]

Damn, in that case, don't include J-Flexx's tracks because I got the Stayin' Alive album already. I looked on your YouTube page and saw those tracks you are looking for. I am looking for the same ones actually and now that I've looked at what you have, I'm realising my Death Row vault is not much of a vault at all (LOL).

[Tha Jsta]

Tha Eastsidaz was set to release their album entitled Gang Bang Muzik in 2003 (I think). For whatever reason, it was never released but to hell with what's on the shelves, here it is...

Tha Eastsidaz -- 2003 -- Gang Bang Muzik (UNRELEASED) (81.29 MB) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SG0NV57O)

[AnnonymousOne]

I don't plan on including it. For this forum, I am going to drop just the miscellaneous tracks. No albums. But I will post Chocolate's "Life-n-a-Day".

[Tha Jsta]

Cool, I hope that Chocolate album has a G Funk sound to it 'cause I love G Funk. If he was to be one of the original inmates, why can't I find info on him anywhere?

[AnnonymousOne]

Oh it does. It doesn't have real strong G-Funk, but its pretty good considering it came out right after Dre inspired the world with "The Chronic". So, you can consider it "primitive" G-Funk. And yeah I've wondered why he isn't as well known too. But then again, there isn't much info on the Convicts or CPO when they were there. I guess someone had to fall into the most less know position.

[Tha Jsta]

Hold up! C.P.O. were on Death Row? I thought they broke up after they put out To Hell and Black in 1990. That's a classic right there.

[AnnonymousOne]

Here is the Chocolate album. I wrote "Death Row" next to the songs that I was sure he recorded when he was on Death Row ("Niggas Is Like That" and "5 To Ten"). There's a couple other songs that I think may be from Death Row but I'm not sure, like "Here We Go Again" and "Home Sweet Home".

[AnnonymousOne]

Oh my bad. When I said CPO I meant CPO aka Boss Hogg aka Lil' Nation. Just the lead rapper.

[Tha Jsta]

Can you post the album on zSHARE? I can't see that damn CAPTCHA for RapidShare.

[Tha Jsta]

Never mind, I just caught it on Happy Hour. I hope they never get rid of it.

I saw the same thing on Bay On Top, and that nigga had no idea what he was talkin' about. This is NOT Chocolate Bandit, this is Chocolate. They are two different people. What's the difference between your archive and the one on Bay On Top AnnonymousOne?

[AnnonymousOne]

Yeah I know, he was mixed up. I looked it up right before I uploaded it to see if it was already on Bay On Top. If the information was correct I was going to just reference you to there. But it obviously was not and I didn't want to mislead you. Alot of people confuse them because Chocolate talks about his ventures in Dallas in a couple songs, which is where Chocolate Bandit is from.

Now to which archive are you referring?

[Tha Jsta]

Well, there was one on Bay On Top and there was the one you posted. I downloaded them both and nothing was really different. But, I remastered it so check mine out and see how it compares to yours. Also, I have a cover in there (even though I don't know what it looks like). So check it out...

Chocolate -- 1993 -- Life-N-A-Day (47.11 MB) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L10WIJC0)

[AnnonymousOne]

Sounds pretty good. I was going to run it through stereo expansion, but listening to your other posts, I figured you would do that for yourself anyway. Plus I wanted to hurry up and get it posted.

My Death Row archive will be remastered though.

[AnnonymousOne]

So how do you do all your posting? I read something a few pages back that you have eyesight issues. Is it more difficult to post?

[Tha Jsta]

Well, I am used to posting on the laptop now because I have a talking program on there which reads to me everything on the screen and every key as I press them. It's not hard when that's all you know how to do. My only thing is the formatting. I mean, I can't center things or any fancy formatting online (e.g. my blog) to make it look nicer. I try to do the best on my blog as I possibly can. I knew computers ever since I was in elementary school--ever since the Apple 2E's were in use.

I also have a P.D.A. for the blind which has something called a Braille display which is more hands-on because I can feel the Internet instead of just hearing it and going from there. I can do a little better formatting wise when I'm feeling it. I hope this gives you a good insight here.

So how are you remastering your Death Row tracks? Just don't run them through any noise reduction filters because that ruins tracks if you don't know how heavy of a filter to apply.

[Tha Jsta]

I'm gonna post my GoldWaved version of the Chocolate album. I'll credit you by linking your YouTube page up, check it out.

[AnnonymousOne]

Damn. man. That raises my respect even more. Sometimes I get lazy and not want to do all the archiving, but when a blind person tells me they can do it with no problem, it makes me feel like I should check myself.

Oh yeah, I know. Heavy noise filters kill the clarity of the songs. If it truely needs it, I only run the tracks through at abouth 2-5% reduction. But as far as remastering, I'm basically just running them through stereo expansion and peaking the levels on an equalizer to make the tracks more clear and balanced because alot of those really low quality tracks have unbalanced high shelf treble, mid shelf midtone, and low shelf basses. It make a huge difference when the balance is corrected. It takes forever though.

Cool, the credit is much appreciated.

[Tha Jsta]

What program do you use to do all this? Do you have a blog or are you just on here and Bay On Top? I'm on there too but it seems like you gotta kiss ass just to download and I don't kiss ANYBODY's ass for a damn thing.

[Tha Jsta]

Somebody please provide me with some info on this duo. All's I know is they are from Oakland. I have their two releases: Let Your Rhymes Run 12" and International. I hear the Let Your Rhymes Run 12" is very rare but you know I get all of that rare shit and bring it to you first. There style on that single is very different from their International album which was produced by Rhythm D (which probably is a big part of the reason). Tell me what you think...

I use Nero Wave Editor and Sony Sound Forge. As far as I know, for some reason, nobody has tried to enhance any of these Death Row tracks. If so they're noise filtered.

Nah, I don't have a blog. I'm just on here, Bay On Top, Real Rap Talk, Rap Central, and mainly Youtube. I don't really use Bay On Top, Real Rap Talk, or Rap Central that much though.

[Tha Jsta]

I'm only on Real Rap Talk and Bay On Top 'cause you gotta hit that stupid ass Thanks link in order to download some stuff. I'm glad this site isn't like that.

What is that graphic AnnonymousOne? What are you talking about?

[Tha Jsta]

I know I should have posted this way back but I thought y'all would have this if not anything else. Since I encoded these MP3s straight from uncompressed WAV files, there is a minimum loss of quality. This is the reason to why there are no album covers included 'cause these came from my personal collection.
