SuP peeps, we back in that azz!
OK, first of all I wanted to tell you all about that new Julio G Theme. There is a new song theme for Julio G's Westside Radio on 100.3 The Beat. I'm sure y'all heard the first song by Snoop Dogg, Soopafly & Xzibit. A few days ago West Coast Aftershock put up that gangsta anthem and I got a feeling that not a lot out there have heard about the 2001 version, this time by Soopafly, Snoop Dogg, Defari & Tray Deee. Well, all I can say about that is Whoa! FredWreck hooked up a crazy beat and this song is off tha chizzain! Too bad this song is only 2 1/2 minutes long.
Peep it below either in MP3 or in RealAudio. One more time I'd like to thank WC Aftershock who hit us in the face once again with their exclusives.

As we reported earlier, Bad Azz' cd got delayed till March 27th. The reason was the leaking on the internet. I'm happy to tell you that he's back in the studio to record more songs for his new LP "Personal Business". Some of the tracks will feature Snoop Dogg. I'll keep you informed on that.

Back with delays for a new update...
Most of you people out there have heard about the latest happenings on the Snoop Dogg/Death Row drama. And I think most of you have heard about the latest add they posted on the official Death Row Records website. If you havent heard about it, here is the full story:

Nearly three years after Snoop Dogg left Death Row Records, the label is still acting like he's one of its top dogs. Death Row says it will release a Snoop greatest-hits album in September or October, featuring previously unreleased material. An inflammatory ad for the album, which is slated to run in three hip-hop magazines in March including XXL & Murder Dog, is the latest in a taunting, and at times threatening, campaign Death Row has aimed at Snoop. Details about the best-of compilation were slim at press time, but fans can expect a batch of Snoop classics, such as "Gin & Juice," "Who Am I (What's My Name)" and the Snoop/Dr. Dre collaboration "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang," Death Row Records spokesperson Jonathan Wolfson said. The album will be titled Snoop Doggy Dogg's Greatest Hits — Death Row continues to refer to the rapper as Snoop Doggy Dogg, even though he shortened his name to Snoop Dogg after he left the label and signed to No Limit/Priority in 1998. No information was available on the previously unreleased tracks or whether the album will feature material from the three albums Snoop recorded for No Limit/Priority, Wolfson said. Death Row has a financial interest in Snoop's albums on Priority as part of a 1998 agreement between the labels. However, it was not clear whether the greatest-hits set legally can include material from the Priority releases without permission from that label. Snoop's publicist said she was not aware of Death Row's plans to release a Snoop greatest-hits album and had no comment. Death Row had earlier announced a Snoop best-of package would arrive in March 2000, but the album was never released. Wolfson could not confirm whether the track listing announced for that album stands for the upcoming project. The label said it will take out full-page advertisements in the March issues of three hip-hop magazines to promote the best-of album. The ad, which currently greets visitors at www.deathrowrecords2000.com, "congratulates" Snoop on the success of Dead Man Walkin', a Snoop collection Death Row put out in October, and Tha Last Meal, his just-released album on No Limit/Priority. "Death Row Records knows that success for a Snoop Doggy Dogg album means $$$$ for [imprisoned Death Row chief] Suge Knight," the ad reads. "Keep it up because you know Suge Knight eats off your next three albums as well as your previous seven albums!!!" Priority Records vowed to take legal action against Death Row after Tha Last Meal appeared on the label's Web site three weeks before its December 19 release. Visitors to the site were asked to "take the Snoop Dogg challenge" and compare Tha Last Meal to Dead Man Walkin'. After the holidays, deathrowrecords2000.com began featuring an intro screen that read: "2001 the year of fear." The next screen read, "All doggs run & hide," and the next: "Suge is coming home." A dog was heard barking and then whimpering after a shot was fired. Knight, who is serving a nine-year sentence for violating probation on an assault charge, is eligible for parole on April 25. Wolfson said the sequence concluding with the dog being shot was self-explanatory. Snoop's No Limit publicist had no comment. Death Row will revisit the career of another of its former stars prior to the Snoop album when it releases a box set from slain rapper Tupac Shakur.

In other Snoop DOgg related news, the video shooting for the 2nd single "Lay Low" has already been finished. You can peep a preview on MTVs "Making The Video" soon.

Now lets get into some music...I have uploaded 5 MP3z for y'all. They are listed below, get them in the Mp3 section or in my Idrive account.
» 19th Street Playaz - The Gz Come Out At Night
» Bad Azz - No Hope
» Big Pimpin' - Livin' It Up
» Daz feat. Soopafly - Give It 2 Me
»
Snoop Dogg feat. Tray Deee - Eastside Radio

I have noticed that most visitor's screen resolution is 800x600. However, the optimal resolution for this site is 1024x768. I use 1024x768 and thats why the layout looks bad for users with 800x600 resolution. The menu on the left is cut out after the Quick links and I think I will have to remove the menu frames and change it into 1 frame, so that the menu moves with the text.

Oh yeah, before I forget, I have added 24 new pics, so make sure u check them out in the picture section...

Thats it from me, lilJermaine

Sup...my homie bpg over at Snoops Dogg Pound posted some interesting news about a Snoop Dogg interview. Snoop talks about the future on Doggystyle Records and he said that fans can expect 10 Doggystyle releases in 2001. That sounds a lot to me but I think some of them wont drop this year due to delays. Here are the ones he mentioned in the interview:
Bad Azz - Personal Business (coming March)
Tha Eastsidaz - Dueces and Treys
Snoop Dogg - Snoopafly
Nate Dogg - Nate Dogg
Soopafly - Willie Dynamite
D.P.G.C. (Daz and Kurupt) - Daz:Kurupt, Kurupt:Daz
Butch Cassidy - Untitled
Kokane - Untitled
A Doggystyle Christmas Album

He didnt talk about the Tray Deee & Goldie Loc solo albums so that could mean that they will come out after the Eastsidaz cd, either later this year or in 2002. You can peep the audio interview right here. I would to thank my homie bpg who had this news up first.

We got a new section up which will run my homie Outlaw. Its a review section and he will write reviews for the hottest West Coast releases. He wrote his 1st review for the Xzibit cd "Restless". You can read it right here. In my opinion its pretty tight and I think he deserves some attention. Please drop him a line and tell him what you think.

I got something for your listening pleasure right here. I recorded the best scences from the movie "The Show" which was released 1996. There are live cuts, backstage cuts & short interviews on it from all the DPG's & their affiliatez. Its interestin and worth to peep out. The length of the whole thing is 17 minutes and I didnt put it up in MP3 cuz that would be to large so I split them in 2 RealAudio
files, which are available for download below.
