I think everyone heard about the tragic death of Comton Rapper Mausberg. He was shot to death the other day in his hometown. I wanna wish good luck to his family & the Dj Quik camp, hope they get through this. R.I.P.

 

Besides her new album fans should have more to look forward to this summer if Lil' Kim joins Dr. Dre's "Up in Smoke" tour. Although Dre and the petite Princess haven't confirmed anything yet, Kim told MTV News "That's definitely a tour I'm thinking about going on. You know it could really be a good thing for the East and the Westcoast to kinda collaborate." [RealVideo]. Is this really a good idea, Kim?

Eminem is soon expected to deliver the second single and video from his "Marshall Mathers LP" with a clip for "The Way I Am" and not Stan as expected. The Paul Hunter-directed video should surface in the next week.

Last but not least, Snoop did a song called "Issues" and in this song Snoop's dissing Daz and the Dogg Pound again. He sais things like "Fuck Daz, Fuck the Dogg Pound"...Whoa! Now there are 2 possibilities: the song is and older and from the promo version and wont be on tha Last meal OR the beef between daz & snoop aint over (that's what i thought)..
We will see if Snoop is down with Daz again or not. The album will hit stores October and features guest like Eastsidaz, N.W.A., Xzibit, George CLinton, Mobb Deep (I dont know what 2Pac's opinion would be to this collabo) and more...
I'll keep you up to date with the diss-song (if it's available)

 

June 24, 2000

Snoop said in an Interview that the Last Meal will be pushed back and hit the streetz in October because there still no Dre cuts on it.

 

June 12, 2000

New Eastsidaz song
Snoop & Tha Eastsidaz have a new song out and it's from the Nutty Professor 2 OST which will be out June 23. Their song is called "Wassup" and it features Butch Cassidy. The beat is off the heezy but I think Snoop acts like a clown in this song and if u don't believe it, just listen at the end when he screams. Anyway, very good song.

New Doggy's Angels track
This is another hotx-clusiveofftheheezyfosheezy song from Snoops female group Doggy's Angels called "Baby If You're Ready" and produced by BattleCat for Dogghouse Records. Remember their album drops this August titled "Angel With Me"

Aiight, check the other sections like the rare audio for an unreleased Snoop Dogg song called "I Can't Swim".
Peace

Sup fools,
sorry for the lack of updates lately but I was very busy with school again.. anyway, check the new shit coming straight from WC2K in yo mothafuckin' assh0le.

Y'all heard bout, DAZ has now officially left DR and if you didn't saw the interview he did with Julio G on The Beat LA check it out right "here". He has premiered his new video RAW and it is straight Gangsta Shit..you can watch it "here"...

Kurupt is featured on the Big Momma's House OST in this nice song called "Radio" featuring Phats Bossi & R.O.C. W Ballz is featured too in this song and you can hear him speak at the beginning & @ the end. The album is produced by JD and is in stores now.

Check this new shit from Erick Onasis a.k.a. Eric Sermon, Xzibit & DJ Quik called "Focus". This is a tight song with a nice beat. Xzibit comes nice in this song...Thanx to Gotchaopenradio for the song...This song is from the forthcoming joint from Def Squad called "Def Squad Presents Eric Onasis" which will be in stores June 27.

Look for Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" to sell between 1.5 million units and 1.8 million units when SoundScan releases its album sales figures later this week. According to retail, label, and distribution executives, the  Aftermath/Interscope album sold almost 1 million units alone at five big retail chains: the Musicland Group, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Wherehouse Entertainment, and Target.

I'm not sure of that but there are rumors that Daz has left Death Row and he has moved with his Label "DPG Records". He talked bout that on the radio and he said that he wants to hook back up again with them and he wants to join them on tour so the beef might be over . I think that's a great move from Daz that he has left DR. He even diss them on his new album RAW. I got it 2day and I must say that it's real good. Some ppl are hatin on daz cuz he has left the Row and they r sayin that this is not the same old Daz he was back in the Chronic/ Doggystyle dayz. Well it's worth to buy it so hurry up cuz I bet this is not the same one which will be out on July 4 (same day as Snoop's one). It looks more like an underground album. I heard the one that will be released on July 4 has the same title but with different artists like Xzibit, Soopafly, Kurupt and maybe Snoop & Dre. Well, we'll see...This is the official tracklist for the album:

01. Super Cuz (Skit)
02. Street Gangs
03. What Cha Talkin Bout
04. This Iz 'Not Over "Till We Say So"
05. One-Nine-99 (F Lil-C-Style, Big Pimpin)

Snoop/ Double R collabo
Like I said a time ago, there were rumors that some West Coast artists are featured on the Ruff Ryders forthcoming album "Ruff Ryders Vol. 2". Snoop is the only one on this comp and he's featured on the song "WW III" featuring Yung Wun, Scarface & Jadakiss. I'll hook u up with this track in Real Audio.

New x-clusive
Here's a new song from Snoop's feamle group Doggy's Angels. I don't know the track title but the title for their album is "Angel With Me" and it will be out by fall. A clip of this song was in the Intro on the Eastsidaz CD. Peep the song right "here"...
Remember where you heard it first! Peace


May 20, 2000

The Video for The Next Episode is out and it is tight as hell. The song was has changed a lil bit and they have added clean lyrics..so check it out below
.The Next Episode - Video Version (thanx to snoopsdogghouse.com)
I'm sure this video will blow up and bring 2001 back to top. Guests in the video includes Kurupt, Xzibit and Nate Dogg.

Remember that Eminem's new album "The Marshall Mathers LP" (front/ back) will be out this Tuesday and make sure u buy it even if u got it on mp3. I'm pretty sure this album will have success and sell more than Dr. Dre's 2001. We'll see...

OK, The Last Meal will be completly different as the bootlegged version. I think this is good becuz more peeps will buy it cuz it's completly different as the old version. To this topic I have started a new Poll again and this time it asks what do u think on that bootleg thing. So go and vote. The Last meal will have a new track by NWA feat. The Lady Of Rage and another featuring Eve produced by Swizz Beats and Kid Capri called We Can Get Crazy.

There is also more info on the new Daz album titled R.A.W...I heard it gots released in some cities. I don't know if it's true but if yes then I think this will not have success cuz there was no promotion on it. You can listen to the selftitled song right here

Go check out the new section which is a Live Audio section. There you can listen to tha latest songs.
I have put the The Real Slim Shady In this section so go there.
There's also  a new poll and please vote so you can help me & my site.

May 12, 2000

More info on Last Meal
Snoop recently talked about it and he said that the song "He Got Game" was on that too but that's an old song which was featured on the No Limit Comp. "Who U Wit?". I also heard that the songs "Real G's freestyle" and "Life in the Projects" was on it too, but i think that's untrue cuz Real G's was on Funk Flex & Big Kap and Life in the Project was on the PJ's OST. I dont think he will take old songs for that album. Another song which could be featured on it is "Fuck Death Row". That could be the song "Death Row is Bitches", who knows?Also unclear is if Sunshine, Miss Me and Purple will be on it, cuz some other sites report that they are missin on the album. Alot of song names has changed so don't be surprised cuz the other version was just the Promo.
And oh yeah, I read that Dre hasn't produced any song, cuz Snoop wanna keep them Dre produced songs for the album "Snoopafly" which will drop 2001 on Dogghouse. Dre will be the executive producer for that album so I guess Snoop wants to keep them to make a hit album.

In other news:
Dre, Eminem, Method Man & Black Rob will perform in a lil' concert in NY on May 19.

be on the lookout for new ish from Snoop (the song Backtracking feat. George Clinton).
