1ST SINGLE OFF THE NEW EASTSIDAZ ALBUM HIT THE NET!
What Up. I got good news for y'all. But before I go on I'd like to give a big shout out to the homie wscg from DPGC-2G.com for being cool enough and let us share the brand new Eastsidaz song. Now to the song: Snoop Dogg played it last week on his Bigg Snoop Dogg radio show. Its called "I luv it" and its going to be the first single off the new Eastsidaz cd called Dueces and Treys. The song features Butch Cassidy & Kokane and this very funky beat was produced by Battlecat. The song reminds me a lot of the unreleased Eastsidaz song "Wassup" which was supposed to be on the Nutty Professor 2 soundtrack. The beat has the same tempo & Battlecat used about the same instruments as for Wassup and Snoop is clownin in the song again. It also has similir lyrics like the song "I cant Swim". Instead of "I hate water, I cant swim, Ive never learned to swim" he said "I hate crippin. I've never learned to crip. I've never C-walked" and this with the same computer voice. Well, personally I gotta say that it is definitely a bangin song which will blow up fa sho! Lets see and hope that the whole Eastsidaz album will be as good as the first single.

SNOOP DOGG TO APPEAR ON NEW MONTI ALBUM
Snoop Dogg is featured together with Kokane on the debut single off the female rapper/ singer named Monti. The song is called "Fa Sho" and we'll bring it to you as soon as it hits the net. In the meantime check out the sexy advertisement pic (I never put up pics on the front page but lets make an exception with this fine ass girl). My homie Kev found this pic on ebay, you can try and win the poster here.

DR. DRE DIAGNOSES RETURN TO FILM
Grammy-winning producer Dr. Dre is jumping back into the film game with the soundtrack to "Diablo" and an acting role in "Training Day." The "Diablo" soundtrack, which Dr. Dre will executive produce and release on his Aftermath label, reunites Dr. Dre with director F. Gary Gray and New Line Cinema. Dr. Dre and Gray teamed for New Line's 1996 release "Set It Off," in which Dre played Black Sam. Dr. Dre recently wrapped shooting a role in Warner Bros. Pictures' "Training Day" opposite Denzel Washington for director Antoine Fuqua. The film also features rap star Snoop Dogg and R&B soul singer Macy Gray in cameo roles. Written by David Ayer, "Training" tells the story of a grizzled LAPD veteran (Washington) who shows a rookie narcotics cop (Ethan Hawke) the ropes during his first day on the soul-destroying inner-city beat. Dr. Dre plays a young cop who is a member of Washington's crew. "Training" is shooting, with Jeffrey Silver and Bobby Newmyer producing for Outlaw Prods. Gray's "Diablo" stars Vin Diesel. Joseph Nittolo, Tucker Tooley, Vincent Newman and Robert Degus are producing from a script by Christian Gudegast and Paul Scheuring. Dr. Dre recently won the producer of the year Grammy for his work on Grammy-winning rap star Eminem's album "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "Dr. Dre -- 2001."

I know I havent updated the RealAudio section for a while and I think its about time to hit y'all with some of that good ol' shit again. At the same time I wanna tell y'all that Im gonna have a lil' break with the MP3z, except on the brand new shit & exclusives. I'm tired of uploading songs which will be down a day later. There's really no good server around which allows to host em. If you have good suggesttions get at us (but no idrive). As for now, I uploaded about 40 songs in RealAudio, including rare songs like Nigga Whut by Kurupt & Foxy, Head Doc solo & more. All of them are in the "Rare Audio" section.
And we out. Peace. Lil'Jermaine aka tha Juice Bitch (K, u know what I mean)

A lot of people have been looking and asking for it. And we got it for you. The hot new joint by Chico & Coolwadda featuring Nate Dogg called High Come Down. Its a cool song with a fresh beat but without Nate Dogg's hook this song would be nothin. I'm not sure which album its going to be on or if its already out but I guess it will be on the new Chico & Coolwadda album. We'll let you know as soon as we have more infos.

The G-Funk-Era site posted this news already a few days ago, but I thought to post it too. CDnow has a new cd up by the D.P.G. called Dillinger & Young Gotti and its ready for pre-ordering. It sais that it will be released on May 1 on DPG Records, so this will be a different album than the DPGC reunion album which will come out on Doggystyle Records. I suppose it will be an independent release which will go underground while the DPGC reunion should be more commercial. I wonder if these tracks are new or old, it could feature songs from the Underground Shit cd which is up on MP3.com. For more news visit the Gfunk site which had this news up first. Thanx.


Nino Brown asked us to promote the solo album of the 5 Footaz member Neb Luv which is available now for only 15 $. You can order it from the address below. The reason why we help selling it on websites it because she cant get it lisenced. Here is the front cover & tracklisting:

Whats Craccin' y'all
I want you to check out that brand new track right here. Nate Dogg recently sat down with a French rapper called K-Mel to record a song. Now this thing right here is something completely different and something we havent heard yet and I think it's nice to see West Coast rappers to hook up with cats from different countries. The song is called Reflextions and is featured on the new K-Mel album. I dont have any infos on this release but I heard he's a member of the famous french rap group Alliance Ethnik. All you French peeps out there holla with infos.

The new 2Pac album "Until The End Of Time" has been leaked to the net. A lot of tracks are remixed from the songs that appeared on those Makaveli bootleggs and I have to say that they were much better than the new ones. The song with Crooked I didnt appear on the 2-disc promo, but that could change till it comes out on March 27.

SuP, we got some Snoop Dogg news, read it below and I'd like to thank my homie Dan from DoggyDoggWorld for the info:

Snoop Dogg appeared on the late night talk show Conan O'brian on NBC. Snoop starred as the musical guest and did the song "Lay Low" with Tha Eastsidaz & Nate Dogg. Their performance was pretty hot, but it looked like the crowd wasn't into it as much as they could of been. Snoop had them waving their hands back and forth and they were all just sitting there doing that. They weren't too much hyped up. But after words Conan sat down Snoop to get a word out of him. He asked him questions about his new Porno movie "Doggstyle". Snoop responded that the movie takes place at his house, and some things just happned. Snoop said he is the narrator of the movie. He also said that this will be "Doggystyle Vol.1" and to be on the lookout for Vol. II. He also told us that he fell in love with "Barney" because he watches it so much with his kids. I tell ya Snoop is a trooper. Always keeping it real. He also mentioned that he has a radio show across 29 diffrent stations around the world that started in LA on KKBT, it's called "The Big Snoop Dogg Radio Show".

MTV aired a 30 minute special about Snoop Dogg called "Diary". They went though alot of the problems that took place on the "Up in Smoke Tour", like shit not working on bus...(cd player, tv, radio). He also told us about his cloting line he is starting, "Big Snoop Dogg Clothing Co". He said he first got interested into it when he saw the success of the Karl Kani clothing line he advertised last year and thought why not start up his own. Snoops defines it as "Gangsta-Wear". He also said he really likes performing the following songs.. What's My Name, Lodi Dodi, Tha Next Episode and Deep Cover. I hope you all got a chance to catch it! Again, I'd like to thank Dan for the hook up. His site is down at the moment, but he'll be back up with a new server very soon.

Snoop Dogg & Bad Azz recently sat down with VIBE.com to do an interview. They talk about the LBC Crew, Snoops album & more. It also features video clips. They will do a part 2 next week, you can read pt. 1 here. Peace...J

March 1, 2001

SuP folks, not much going on...The Snoop Dogg chat on 360hiphop.com is over and finished. If you missed it, no problem, here is the full chat transcript. The chance having your question(s) answered was smaller than winning a jackpot...However...a lot of chat visitors got mad and started to diss the Moderator...LOL..I must admit that he (mod.) selected a lot of boring questions, but if you wanna know what Snoops shoe size is or how many hoez he has, then you'll like it...He also talked about his next video (Stacey Adams), about the Death Row situation, 2Pac & Biggie & more...

About the SNoop porn movie...here is a link to order it...And check out the front & back cover of the video here. I hope my account wont be deleted for puttin up such pics... here you can download a 2 min trailer of the movie. You can see Snoop, Soopafly & Goldie Loc rappin in the backround..DONT FORGET YOU MUST BE 18 & OVER TO WATCH IT! LOL..That dope ass song in the backround will be on the DVD too. YOu might know it & remember that I uploaded it a long time ago, it was featured on the eastsidaz movie..Listen to it here. The beat is from an old Michael Jackson song. That's all for today, Peace...Im ghost - Jermaine
