Dr. Dre sat down with MTV and talked about the Wash Movie & Soundtrack. If Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg had enough time, they would have parlayed the movie's soundtrack album into their first full-length LP together, which was supposed to be called Break Ups to Make Ups, but it looks like this project will never happen.

"Me and Snoop originally wanted to make the soundtrack album to this movie our reunion CD," Dre explained during a May interview on the Los Angeles set of "The Wash." "But an October release slot came up, so we didn't have enough time to put that in place. We're going to try to do as many songs as possible for the soundtrack album and get other people to submit tracks."

The scheduled mid-October releases of both movie and album have been pushed back, however. "The Wash" gets its chance to clean up at the box office November 14, while the soundtrack album arrives November 6 on Dre's Aftermath label and Snoop's Doggstyle Records.

Busta Rhymes and Bubba Sparxxx have solo cuts on the album, as does singer Truth Hurts & Eve on the song called 'Benefit Of The Doubt'.
"Her album is just about done," Dre said of his latest protégé. "We recorded 40 songs with her." Beside Dre, Mel Man, Rick Rock and Hi-Tek check in behind the board.

For those who wondered about Jayo Felony & his new album, he'll finally drop it on October 23rd and this date should stick. The new title is now 'Trip Hop' instead of 'Crip Hop' and it will be released on his Loco Records. Crip Hop will feature guests like Ja Rule, E-40 and a few more. He'll also release a documentary along with the soundtrack which will have brand new tracks.


Yall remember Caz right? He has a new album coming out too, guests appearances on this new LP will come from the same peeps as his first album, like Kurupt, Shade Sheist, Krayzie Bone, Bad Azz, Battlecat etc. This album will be called Goin Head Up and will drop by the end of the year.


Another dude droppin a new album is Won G. His new album will be called No Better Than This and will have guests like DJ Quik, Tha Outlawz, James DeBarge, Lazyie Bone and more. Dj Quik & james De Barge are featured on his first single called Nothings Wrong - The Remix. It has the same beat as the Divorce Song from Quiks Balance & options, click here to check with the cover. To hear the songs check with the playaz at WestCoastAftershock.com, good looken.



Now to all the new audio. Here's a very small preview for the Bones Soundtrack, I didnt wanna upload more than that cause that would be unfair, here's one of the better tracks, I havent heard the full thing yet but this song sounds nice so far.

You will remember that we reported on DJ Quiks current situation, we told you that he formed his own label Euponic Records, which is a part of Univeral Records. His 6th album will come out in January and it will be called 'Safe & Sound Vol. 2'. He'll have guets like Suga Free, El DeBarge, Snoop & Tha Dogg Pound , W.C., Dr. Dre and more. This was officially confirmed, this is what Ive found from Launch.com:
DJ Quik is scheduled to release his new album in January. Quik is one among other seasoned West Coast rappers who have signed to the new label Bungalo Records, which will be distributed by Universal. Suga Free, Hi-C, and Chill of Compton's Most Wanted are also on the label's roster. The Bungalo structure will also include label deals for DJ Quik's Euponic Records, and Quik's partner Tony Lane's Lane Way Records.
"We're changing the game at Bungalo," says Paul Ring, Bungalo's founder and CEO. "We view artists more as partners, which means they retain more creative and financial control of their records."
DJ Quik's last album, Balance & Options, released on Arista Records, peaked at Number Five on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.


I thought I'll upload a few radio drops by the homie Quik. The first ones are both 92.3 the beat Freestyles, first one is called 9' o Clock Freestyle from 1996 and the second one is called Top Of My Treehouse (thanx to Colin for this one). Next up is a 92.3 The Beat Theme, called 'A Bedtime Story' feat. Suga Free. Get them below. Peace, Jay

We back with a new bomb, yessss we got 2 new songs from the Wash Soundtrack to preview. The first is the famous song that hyped up all the fans, called 'On The Blvd' and is by Dr. Dre, SNoop Dogg and Kokane. Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg are back on the smash and sound tight and even Kokane does a good job. Some will remember this funky beat from the wash website intro produced by Dre. This gonna be the first single from the Wash Soundtrack, the video should premier sometimes in the first week of October.
I like the second song even more, its the one we've already posted but now in full length, called Bad Intentions. This is a Dr. Dre solo song and Dre at his best, his flow combined with the flute makes it to an incredible song. I dont think anybody will be disappointed with this Soundtrack. From what we have heard so far it sounds amazing. It got delayed again though to October 30, 2001. Pre-Order it now online from CDnow.com

SuP, I'm back with some new music from the new Jermaine Dupri album called 'Instructions'. I know that a lot out there hate on JD but his new album is really tight. The lyrics arent all that but the beatz are dope. it features guests like Jadakiss, Usher, Ludacris, Nate Dogg, Kurupt and more. Kurupt is featured in the song Jazzy Hoez Part 2. This song has the same beat as Part 1 and Kurupt spits a nice verse over this beat. Nate Dogg is featured in 2 songs, the first is Ballin Outta Control, we had this song up for a few weeks (u can find it in the newest jointz). Anyway, Nate makes his 2nd appearance in 'Whatever' and steals the show as always. The last song I got from JD is called Get Some and sounds like a Dre beat, Im not sure though if its really produced by the Doctor. Check it out and tell me what you think (Remember Dre was supposed to work with JD on his new album).

Timbaland Says He And Dr. Dre Might Do Album Together!
In August, Timbaland said he was hoping he and Dr. Dre could juggle their hectic schedules long enough to work on a major collaboration. "I want to do a Dr. Dre/Timbaland album," he said. "We've been talking about that. We're trying to do something real crazy."
On Thursday, Tim said it looks like that project is becoming more of a reality.
Me and Dre been talking about doing an album called Chairmen of the Boards," said the sound sculptor, who added that his Beat Club artists as well as Dre's Aftermath signees would be among those featured. "You're the first person who I talked to about it. Dre has kept it under wraps, I kept it under wraps. He was going to get a couple of other [producers] like [Jermaine Dupri], but I really think it should be me and him. We've been talking about it for the last two months. We'll pick artists we feel like we should do the beats for and put it out and promote it."
Dr. Dre could not be reached for comment.

Here are a a few statements from Hip-Hop artists who were affected by the terrorist attack on New York and Washington D.C. on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Kinda old news, but who cares, everyone out there should know how the rappers feel about this tragedy. Its courtesy from SoHH.com, yannow..Props to them.

RBX: I think it was a complete travesty, man. So many innocent lives were lost. I know there's a lot of political things' going of right now that the public don't know about, but as far as I know that was wrong and it shouldn't have been done. You got problems; you take it up with the person you got problems with. That all I got to say.

Kurupt: Yeah, we gonna whup they ass, they better stay off the fuckin' streets and go home! And to the victims and their families, ya'll keep ya head up, we all ridin' with ya'll, it's gonna get handled. But there isn't really anything positive to say about this situation.

Sir Jinx: The scariest thing about that whole situation on Tuesday is I was in New York and I saw it, straight up Like, if you look at the footage and you see the debris falling out, them is people jumping to their death, man! That was a real traumatic experience for me! By me doing my DJ thing, and living my life, your life can come to a screeching halt by some other person's negligence, nahmean. It's kind of wild, and it hit me hard man. See, I'm a producer and I produce my music and that's definitely a mood changer, like that can make me make music about that environment. That environment is so dark and unknown; you don't know where it came from. So it's a definitely a vibe, and it was really hard for me.

Bad Azz: I'm like this man, it's bigger than us. It's out of our control, we gonna let God handle it and if we end up going to war and man kills some more man then its in God's hands. This life is something bigger than us, so we got to let go and let God handle it. It's like kids fight in the sandbox, grown men fight in the world. It's different beliefs; it's different views that people got, financial situations that people fight over. I don't feel that war is right but I don't feel like a person should get hit and not fight back. So it's a catch 22 right now, somebody done got hit and a decision must be made. It's just in God's hands now.

Daz: It was terrible disaster and like Bush said those who are responsible is gonna get their motherf*ckin' jaw knocked off! We all gotta stand as a people, do what we have to do, continue to pray for the victims, as well as ourselves and the enemy. America God Bless!

Dr. Dre contributes $1 million Dollar for victim's relief!!!
Wow. Its good to see Dre contributing to Power 106's 'Power Of A Dollar Relief Fund'. Power 106's "Big Boy in the Morning" asked each of Power 106 's 1.6 million listeners to donate one dollar each, towards the goal of raising $1.6 million dollars for victim's relief. Then you got Dr. Dre who donates 1 millions bucks! That man has a heart of gold, no joke. Other celebrities including Snoop Dogg, Shaquile O'Neal, P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Warren G, Mack 10, DJ Clue, Irv Gotti and others have already made donations and are challenging each other to step up to the plate and feel the Power of a Dollar.

 

Below is a new review from the Puff Puff Pass concert last night in Englewood CO. Thanx to the homie CG213 for this review. Sit back and read:
Redman and Tha Liks were advertised but neither performed.  The opening act was Mr. Short Khop.  I was happy, but I think I was the only one who bought his album, because erybody acted like they had never heard of him.  Than they brought Sir Jinx and Bad Azz.  Bad Azz did about 4 songs including, 'U Don't Wanna Be Broke" and "Streetz Illustrated".  Same with ShortKhop, not many people got into his set.
    Than after about a 10 minute break I heard, "Are Y'all ready for Some Dogg Pound Gangsta shit?", and than Kurupt came out on stage, with Roscoe, and than Daz rolled out.  They went right into "What would U Do?" and ended up performing, "ride wit us", "behind the walls", "we can freak it", "lets get high", "Lets play house" (Roscoe did Kurupts verse), "girls all pause", a new Roscoe song, and ended with "xxplosive".
    Before Snoop came out, they played the national anthem and the crowd went crazy when we heard it.  Then the local radio KS 107.5 came out.  Every ticket sold,$2 of that went to the Red Cross.  and they auctioned off the first 4 rows.  Total $15,000 was raised.    
Right after that Snoop came out, and opened with Murder was the Case.  He did all his classics.  he brought out Doggyz Angelz and of course Tha Eastsidaz.  My favorite was "Serial Killah", because he brought out Daz, Kurupt, and RBX.  In the song insted of saying, "Whats up wit you we represent the Pound and Death Row"  the beat stopped and Snoop, Daz, Soopafly and pretty much everybody on stage, said, "we represent dogghouse, fuck Death Row".  This was almost as good as Up in Smoke.  I luv'd it.

Get yo tix now, for tour dates head over to SnoopsDoggPound.

 
Last but not least I got a rare song from Kurupt, its called Star Struck and was the b-side on the Girlz All Pawz single. It features Bigg Gipp, Sleepy Brown, Cool Breeze And the Organized Noize Productions. Download it below and once again Id like to thanx Kevin for this track.
