Sup, Im here with some info for y'all about that new Snoop Dogg desktop player from Priority Records..
I downloaded it and its pretty funny. He walks on ur screen and you can change his hats or make him smoke weed while you can listen to songs off Tha Last Meal..I suggest you to download it and email it to all your friends to help promote Tha Last Meal. Heres the link where you can download it, so what are you waitin for??

2nd update for November 29, 2000

Sup y'all...I hope you all feelin the Last Meal cuz I do...but I still hope that the final thing will be different. Just imagine..it has a 213 song, a Kurupt song and a Daz song with those g funk beats produced by Daz n Warren G..that would definitly be a classic. I expected more gangsta shit like he promised but instead there are a lot of slow tracks on it..totally new style with Kokane always signin the chorus..we will c..

I've decided to create an unreleased lyrics section. We gonna write lyrics for unreleased songs by Snoop, Dre, Dogg Pound etc..if you wanna write a lyric for an unreleased song, send them out to us...songs like Lay Low or Leave Me Alone are stuck in my mind already so I wrote them down and here they are...
Leave Me Alone ¦ Lay Low

The official Death Row Records website made some stupid shit again. On their site they are doing a challenge between the Last Meal and Dead Man Walkin. You can listen to both albums and then you can decide which cd is better. Now, the thing is that they put the DMW cd in RealAudio and the LastMeal in mp3 so every1 can bootleg it and , isnt that stupid as hell?? And just 2 days ago I was told that the DR site asked some MP3 site to take down the DMW album which they uploaded and now they doing the same shit.
I cant wait Tha Last Meal to drop and sell more within 2 days than Dead MAn Walkin & Too gangsta For Radio sell together for the next 10 years.

The new Xzibit video has been premiered on MTV's DFX. I did not c it but I heard its tight, so Im sure that it will be a good promotion for the Restless LP..

C Ya, lilJermaine

November 27, 2000

OK doggs, here it is...Tha Last Meal...but dont be too happy cuz its only a retail version so it will probably change again...A lot of songs that were on the promo are still on it and some guests who were supposed to appear aint there

By now, everybody that visites West Coast sites knew that It will be a big big thing this time and not like Da Game or Top Dogg. And the result is amazing and I gotz to give Snoop his props for that cd cuz Its very very tight and sounds like the shit I expected, his flow is not exactly like on Doggystyle, but way better than his older No Limit stuff.
The only bad thing is that 7(!) songs which were on the net for a long time are still on the final version. Like: Everywhere I Go, Pump Ur Brakes & Miss Me which were on the promo, Leave Me Alone was a West Coast 2K xxclusive like 2 montha ago, Trust Noone aka I Cant Swim was a West Coas 2K exclusive too 4 months ago and that tight ass song Ready 2 Ride with Eve (supposed to be called We Can Get Crazy) was on the net like 4 months too (it premiered at a listening party from The Source so here you got it u suckers who didnt believe me that I had it) and of course Snoop Dogg as the 1st single.
I made a small review for every song:

01. Intro
-
02. Compose Myself (feat. Kokane) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Nice song produced by Dre...dope beat with a nice chorus by Kokane, gets boring after hearing it a few times

03. Snoop Dogg [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Snoops 1st single which grows on me from time to time, produced by Timbaland

04. Can't Tell A Lie (feat. George Clinton) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Laid back beat, not a great song though

05. I'm A Gangsta (feat. Bad Azz) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Snoop & Bad Azz comes real nice in this song..good song

06. Go Away [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Meech Wells laced a nice beat, Im not sure if its George Clintion or Kokane who singin the chorus

07. Tha Last Meal (feat. Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Lady Of Rage) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
tight appearance by Cube, Ren & Rage..too bad that Kurupts part is kinda fucked up, u can hear him only like 20 seconds and hes not even rappin...could be another Timbaland production cuz it kinda sounds like his stuff

08. Stay On Point (feat. Kokane) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Battlecat produced this laid back song, with Kokane singin in the backround

09. Lay Low (feat. Nate Dogg, Tha Eastsidaz, Master P, Butch Cassidy) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
One of the best songs produced by Dre..with a tight beat...too bad Master P is in it

10. Don't Fuck With Me (feat. Suga Free) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
this song features Suga Free & Kokane, sounds pretty good n has a dope beat once again

11. Interlude (feat. Mac Minister)
-
12. Everywhere I Go [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
I wonder why this song is on it cuz it was supposed to be a diss to Daz, from the promo

13. Pump Your Brakes (You Hoez) (feat. Kokane) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
was on the promo too, cant listen to it anymore..chorus sucks to me

14. Ready 2 Ride (feat. Eve) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Damn, Im feeling this song at the most, at this time my favorite song...could be produced by Dre..the beat is off the heezy

15. In Love At Times (feat. Supafly) [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Tight song and Supafly comes off real nice...it sounds a little bit like Back To LA to me..

16. Trust Noone [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
This song was here 1st sometimes this summer...I dont feel this song very much. actually called I Cant Swim

17. Leave Me Alone [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
As I said before, this song was premiered a few weeks ago on this site first. A laid back song with a tight beat..seems to be a Battlecat production

18. Fuck Y'all Niggas (feat. Master P)
This song has a typical No Limit style and in my opinion the worst song of the whole cd..I was kinda busy so i thought I aint even worth to put it up

19. Miss Me [Streaming] ¦ [Download]
Was on the bootleg too, I was almost sure that it will be on the final version cuz he dedicates this song to No Limit it is a

Enjoy the shit...
Peace, lilJermaine

As I promised earlier, here is the Bad Azz cd Personal Business. The songs below are in streaming & downloadable RealAudio. The MP3z are in the MP3 section, so check them. Not all MP3z are in full length, some of them are only like 2 minutes long..Only the best ones are in full length. It would take me too long to upload a full album. Holla at me if u want to help uploading.
In my opinion the cd is tight and worth buying when it comes out on January 16th.
The song Money 2 Fold which features Kurupt & Snoop has the same beat as West Coast Still Gone Flow aka More Money, which was on the Last Meal promo, so most if y'all know this one already.

Bad Azz' cd Bersonal Business has leaked out to the net and I will have audio off it in Mp3 & RealAudio soon, maybe tomorrow. In the meantime, check WestSide2Real cuz they posted an RealAudio preview for it. The cd is dropping January 16. It sounds tight as fuck so far so make sure u peep their site...

Sorry, no audio 2day..Ill have the new Xzibit video soon...Peace..lilJermaine

November 20, 2000

You fools thought I was dead or what???Hell naw, back in dat azz with a new update.
The reason for the lack of audio updates is still because of the shitty servers for the audio but the homie Anthony told me that I-Drive is tight again for sharing and the limit for downloading has dropped. If theres still a limit then simply download it the next day, but the good thing is that the MP3z dont need to be fixed every week..The news has slowed down in the west so Im only here with a lil video update, but that one took me a long ass time to upload..peep it below..its 10MB big

Shade Sheist - Where I Wanna Be feat. Nate Dogg & Kurupt [Video]

DPGC2000 has posted th tracklist for the new Bad Azz album which is coming out January 16. So make sure u peep their site. for that.
Dont forget to cop the new Doggys Angels cd tomorrow!!!Also the highly anticipated video for the Up In Smoke Tour which was supposed to drop tomorrow has been delayed and the new European release date is December 5. The release date for the USA is unknown but I guess 2 or 3 weeks later, that means around Christmas time.

Im back tomorrow with another MP3 update..Peace..lil Jermaine

November 16, 2000

Snoop is back in the news again...This time he's in negotiations with John Singleton to be featured in a movie called 'Baby Boy'. It's a coming of age film which focuses on a young man who has fathered a child and still lives at home with his moms. He refuses to to accept the responsibilities of adulthood while two timing on his baby's momma. Sounds like a Ricky Lake show to me? The movie will star Tyrese who will be making his acting debut in the role of Jody, the irresponsible young man. It will introduce us to Omar Gooding who is the younger brother of Cuba Gooding Jr. Snoop is slated to play the role of Rodney who is the ex boyfriend of Jody's girlfriend. Award winning actor Ving Rhames will also be starring in the film.

November 3, 2000

A Restless LP promo has leaked out to the net, but its only a piece of fake shit cuz it has songs from X's older albums so it aint even worth downloading. The songs that were supposed to be on it like Get Your Walk On, Shroomz 2, Take Your Stripes, Loud & Clear, Take me There etc are not on it.

Like I promised earlier, here is a new 1 min. snippet song by Goldie Loc with Snoop. I aint got much infos on it. If you have seen the Eastsidaz video you will know it cuz I recorded it from there but for those who didnt c it download it, cuz its a tight song. Im not sure on which cd it will be, but I guess from the new Goldie Loc which will drop sometimes next year.
The song is up in the MP3 section, newest joints & in the rare audio section.

The Last Meal cover that leaked to the net 2 weeks ago is a fake cover. I found the original one and Ive posted it below.

Peace, lilJermaine

November 2, 2000

I got some new audio & news, but 1st the news...

RBX has officially left Doggystyle Records and he he is no longer on Snoops label. He's now on Korns label Elemantry Records. He will release a cd next year featuring Korn, Rage, Drama Black & more. Tell me what you think of that

I also got this new Roscoe song, actually a 30 second snippet of his new track called "Young Thugs - Ballad Of Youth" from the Once In The Life O.S.T. (if it doesnt work click here and chose song 8) Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora adds an ethereal touch to the song. I dont feel the beat cuz it sounds a little bit like a rock song to me, but maybe it will grow on me when I will hear it in full length. I try to get it as soon as possible. Post your thoughts on the board. Thanx and keep voting for the site on beat.box.com (We started on rank 28 in our 1st day, which not so bad).

Here is the video where Snoop disses Death Row Records about their poor sales on TG4R (or Too Gangsta For TV, like Snoop sais in the interview!). Its real funny so you gotta check it out!!!Thanx to West Coast Aftershock for that shit. Make sure to peep their tight ass site. You can also get the DJ Quik "diss" song towards Snoop & Dre called Status over there.

In other news:
» Suge Knight will be out of prison in April 2001 (good luck Snoop)
» Dr Dre will produce some songs for Master Ps next album Ghetto Postage
» New videos to look out for : Lil Bow Wow feat. Snoop Dogg - Bow Wow (Thats My Name), Xzibit - X, Doggys Angels - Baby If You're Ready (already out)

I uploaded a new video video for RealPlayer. Its the video for Doggys Angels new single Baby If You Ready.
I also added & fixed some MP3z:

» Tha Realest, Swoop G, C-Style - Easy To Be A Soldier (Clean Version) [Requested]
» Kurupt - Forth And Back feat. Slum Village
» Snoop - Eastside Radio (short 1:45 snippet) [FIXED]

Crew member MCee is on vacation for 2 weeks so thats the reason why you didnt c any updates from him.
