NEW 2PAC, NEW YUKMOUTH, MORE
What Up, we got a huge update today!
Check it out, here's the brand new 2Pac song called Until The End Of Time from his forthcoming album Until The End Of Time. Its a nice song, the original from the Makaveli 5 is better though. The song features RL from the R&B group Next. Check it out below and remember the full cd drops March 27th on Death Row, you can pre-order your own copy right here. Show 2Pac some luv, even if its a Death Row release.

The next exclusive is from the brand new Yukmouth album. I picked this song because its one of the best tracks on the album. This track is off the chain, it features Kurupt, Nate Dogg & Kokane. Its called So Ignorant. I really like Nate Doggs part, he drops the 1st verse. The chorus of this song is so catchy. Remember to get your copy when it comes out the 27th of March. You can pre-order your own copy here.

The next track is by female rapper Rasheeda. Kurupt appears in this song called Stay Down. Rasheeda is a member of the female group Da Kapers and they released an album in 97, Kurupt made an appearance on it too. The track was called Hot Like Cajun. Rasheeda's solo album is set to drop March 27 too, seems to be a big day.

We not done yet. The next 2 songs are not really new, but I think they didnt get enough attention. They are both from the "Once In the Live" - Soundtrack, which was released in March 2000. The 1st song is by DPG rapper Roscoe. Its called Young Thugz - Tha Ballad Of Youth and features Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. The second is by Hip Hop veteran KRS One and called Shadup Ya Face The reason why I uploaded this track is b/c West Coast producer Fred Wreck laced this tight beat. The song Livin It Up by west coast major pimp Big Pimpin is also featured on there. I uploaded this song a long time ago but its still available in our MP3 section.

We still not done yet. Next track is not very new but I uploaded it because its just one more dope ass song that didnt get enough attention. Its called Flossin and it appeared on the Caz' solo album that came out in late 2000. The intersting thing is that you can hear Battlecat rap and he also produced the beat. What I suggest you to do is buy the Caz album. It features tight songs with BAd Azz, Kurupt, Krazyie Bone, Layzie Bone & more. You can order it here

The list with the unheard songs goes on. Next up is Goldie Loc with his song 5 Dubs. Its featured on the Fakin' Da Funk Soundtrack, along with the song Lifestyles Of A Gangsta by Goldie Loc & his Lifestyle Crew and Snoop Dogg. You can buy the soundtrack here if you're interested.

The last song for our update is by Crooked I and its an unheard song too. Its called Niggaz Got Game and was on a rare promo before he signed with Death Row.

All songs above are in RealAudio, but of course you can download them in MP3 too. Click on the MP3 Section link on your left. Our server where we store our mp3z is down at the moment but I hope it will be back up soon. Last but not least I'd like to give a big shout out to my homie Kevin. he hooked me up with all those tight unheard songs. So dont thank me, thank him. He always has the news on the latest releases. Thanx bro.
AIight, Im out..Jermaine

February 27, 2001

I finished uploading 15 new MP3z for y'all which are available for download in the Mp3 section. I got something for everyone: some live cuts like X, Only In California and Been There Done That. Or there are some freestyles like 1 from Jayo Felony and 1 from Crooked I. Imagine Jayo & Crooked I together doing a freestyle battle. They both very good rappers and two underrated MC's from the west with similar styles, so make sure to check the freestyles out and judge for yourself who would win. I'd have to go with Crooked I. J-out

February 25, 2001

Jus a short update with some news for y'all:
I just got some news tidbits on the Space Boogie Promo...check this out::
Theres that tight ass track # 3 produced by Dr. Dre and it features Daz, SNoop, Soopafly, Dre and of course Kurupt himself. I heard its very similar to The Next Episode and this should be amazing! Theres also a track with Baby & Slim from Cash Money which is not that good. Other guests on it are Limp Bizkit, DJ Lethal, Jon B (supposed to be an amazing song too!), a FredWreck song, another one with Snoop Dogg and the Outkast Crew Organised Noise laced a beat. There are rumours that there's a song title called Liquid Chronic, which could make the 1st single, this is not confirmed though.

My bigg homeboy Nino Brown reported that Tha Realest is about to leave Death Row Records. This is not 100% confirmed but you can check his website Death Row Entertainment for the full story.

Some of y'all already heard it but Im gonna post it again. Tha Eastsidaz and Kurupt Tha Kingpin are goona be featured on the new Made Men album, which should come out very soon. I dont have any track titles or release dates yet, but as soon as they available you gonna get them here at WEst Coast 2K.

The new date for the Bad Azz chat is finally set! On March 5th, at 8 pm EST and 5 pm PST you can tune in to http://chat.twec.com for an online chat with the Doggystyle Records rapper.
The Snoop Dogg chat has a new date too, for those who didnt hear it yet, heres the info again:
The 1-hour chat will be on March 1st at 8 PM EST/ 5PM PST! Log on here and ask Snoop the questions want to know!

Last but no least, The Jointz Central, known as the biggest RealAudio website on the net with nationwide albums, is back again. Visit my homies Ç-Ïñfãmôû§ site here, its gonna blow ya away!

I'll be back with a audio update tomorrow...Im ghost, Jermaine...

February 21, 2001

What Up Everyone?
I just got a new song by Kurupt. I dont have any infos on that song, wether it is from his forthcoming solo album Space Boogie, a guest appearance or even from a soundtrack. However, it features Natina Reed (Of Blaque) and its called "Its Over Now". I hope this wont be on his new album because this song is kinda boring, nothin like a club banger, more like a radio-friendly track. Like I said, no infos on this joint yet, so keep your eyes open fot this! By the way, a 5-track Promo of Space Boogie has already been sent out to stores. His 3rd solo LP should drop in May.

Kurupt - Its Over Now feat. Natina Reed MP3 ¦ RealAudio

I'd like to talk about this up n coming West Coast MC called Bookie. Actually he's from AZ but represents the West. He released a cd in 2000 on Fo Life Records called Stressin. It features songs with Kurupt, E-40, MC Eiht & more. Battlecat was the executive producer.
Here are 2 tracks from the album, both feature Kurupt. They are pretty tight and remember I put them up to promote the artist & his record. If you like the songs then buy his CD.

» Bookie - Bloodrush feat. Kurupt
» Bookie Hear This feat. Kurupt, Lil' KeKe

I've uploaded 11 more MP3z, if ya want them you must got to the MP3 section to download them. I also have a new Xzibit interview up, its very interesting & about everything you need to know on X2theZ, so make sure you read it! Im ghost. Peace

February 18, 2001

Sup, just a short update today. My boy Kevin hooked me up with those 2 tight ass Eve tracks from her forthcoming album "Scorpion". Well, the reason why I upload 2 East Coast tracks to a West Coast site is b/c hip hops greatest producer Dr. Dre produced the songs. All I can say is damn! The first track is called Thats What It Is and it features Styles. This song has a classic Dre beat and its very similar to The Watcher. The chorus will blow you away! The 2nd song is called Let Me Blow Ya Mind and it features Gwen Stefani (the girl from No Doubt). Again the good doctor hooked up a very futuristic beat, very laid back. Let us know on tha board what you think. Peace. Jermaine

Most of you have heard SNoop Dogg's song "Inside Of You" that was on tha Last Meal promo. This song will see the light of day on the soundtrack for the movie "The Brothers". The song will be called "Hi 2 U".

OK, I think thats all, I'll be back later today with the Dre tracks that were requested and some live videos from the Up In Smoke...I'm izzout...Jermaine

What Up folks? I got those 2 new joints off the forthcoming DJ Clue album for you all to peep out. Remember we told you that Snoop Dogg & Tha Dogg Pound will be featured on the cd. I uploaded those tracks for you. The first is by Snoop Dogg feat. Kurupt called Fuck A Bitch. I'm feelin this song with this futuristic beat. Snoop Dogg sings the chorus and Kurupt drops a nice verse. The second one is by Jay-Z feat. Tha Dogg Pound, Memphis Bleek & Beanie Sigel. Its The remix to the song Change The Game which was on the Roc La Familia cd. Its a cool song but in my opinion is the 1st one better. I didnt put up the whole track, but check out the full song when it comes out.

I uploaded 60 pictures, some of them are never seen before pics, so go & take a look.
I also uploaded 2 interviews, they are both old but very interesting and a must read. They are from an old Source issue from April 1998. The first is a Snoop Dogg interview and it was made in the period where he left The Row. He's talkin about all the projects he wanted to do, but couldnt b/c Death Row didnt left him, so take a look. I scanned the interview becuz I was too lazy to write this whole shit down and thats why its picture file and not a text file.
The 2nd one is a Daz interview and from the same issue. He's talkin about the problems Death Row had at that time, about the Dogg Pound, etc. Go and read them!


Also look out for 40 Glocc's forthcoming album The Jakal which will come out in April. It will feature guests like Daz, Kurupt, Roscoe, Bad Azz, Tray Deee, RBX, Suga Free, Jayo Felony, Ras Kass, Spice 1, Sylk E. Fine, Kokane, Rappin 4-Tay, Tha Lowlifes & more. Featured producers are Blaqtoven from 19th Street, Battlecat, ProdeJe from South Central Cartel and more. Tomorrow I will upload the track with Daz & Bad Azz called "U Dont Wanna Fuck With This"...oh yeah, while talkin about Bad Azz, if you've missed the Bad Azz chat you're lucky b/c it was canceled and will be rescheduled for late February or early March.

That's it from us, keep checkin back.. Im out..Jermaine

February 3, 2001

What It Iz..I dont think anyone out there has noticed that Thursday was our 1 year anniversary..Its been a good year and we always represented the West by bringin the newest ish considering the Left Coast. I remember when I decided to start a webpag when the Eastsidaz cd came out back in January and that inspired me to start a website. However, I hope y'all like what we do and keep suporting us. Thanx

I decided to hook y'all up with the requests cos my hook ups have been slow lately. All of them were already up, but got deleted by the server. They all direct links so get them while they last!

Snoop Dogg - Dogghouse Radio feat. MC Eiht

We also got 2 new interviews. The first one is a Bad Azz Video Interview where he's talkin about his new cd Personal Business, about Snoop Dogg and more.
The 2nd one is from the Death Row site with inmate Swoop G and he's talkin about Snoop and callin him a hoe ass nigga and he also talkin about his new album and he said to watch out for that cuz he's taking his time to make a tight ass 5x Platinum cd. Well...I dont know, but u can judge for yourself by listenin to the interview. Aww yeah one more thing about those deathrow interviews...The interviewer always asks them who they like to work with or what cds they gon be featured on and the only artists they name are cats from the Death Row camp but they never mention artists outside of Death Row. Thats probably because they too gangsta for world.

The Lay Low video has premiered last Tuesday and its pretty tight. The video features Nate Dogg, Tha Eastsidaz, Butch Cassidy, Master P, Soopafly, Kurupt and of course Snoop Dogg. It was shot in a club and they all dressed like real pimps. Its available for download up @ WCKillaz.

OK, thats it for today so I'm bout ta get ghost. pz. LIlJermaine
