Devante is a fukking a genius man. One of my inspirations growing up playing the piano. He doesn't gets enough credit.

timbaland doesnt have it in him to produce a beat like that. otherwise, his rap catalog would be better than it is.

altho, im sure that timbo has ghost-produced some beats for devante, that pac joint surely is not one of em.

devante was that dude back in then.

it's too bad he was a crazy egomaniac. i heard he got on that rock too and it pretty much killed all his ambition. signing with death row and having to answer to suge and his goons didn't help either.

did he even answer to suge and his goons? seems like death row ended as soon as he got there.

what always got me was how hard jodeci was ridin with death row during that time. they had a fallout with puff or somethin?

puff got fired by andre harrell and then he took over the crew and they weren't feeling his direction or the lack of respect he showed a multi-plat group. the rumors go that suge took some of his fresh outta prison boys to andre and got him to break their contract and took them to death row after. since he did this, he felt that he owned them especially devante since he was the producer and pretty much made him to whatever he wanted. suge abused the power he had over devante and tried to make him produce tracks on the spot whenever he felt like it and after awhile devante realized he was getting punked for tracks and also getting jerked on money (of course, it's suge :yeshrug: )and refused. this is when the well-publicized "home invasion" happened where suge sent the goons to his home where they tied him up, beat him and supposedly raped him in addition to sticking pistols in his mouth and stole over $160, 000 worth of jewelry from him. that was the breaking point for him, after that duke was paranoid as fukk and was never the same...damn shame.

i also heard that while jodeci was rolling with death row that either k-ci or jojo were talking slick shyt in meetings and had the infamous "door locked" on them and got the shyt beat out of them on more than one occasion.

dam. i never knew that they were officially on death row. let alone all the other stuff.

so thats why there were no more jodeci albums? how did k-ci & jojo get to go off and do their duo thing?
