Crazy to think eazy did more with women than suge did

Jj fad ate Michel’le ate

N suge had rage n Michel’le 2 of the best women in their lane

Jewel wasn’t gone make it .. she was a session singer anyway.. at ruthless she was in the background I rather fukk u etc

Death row same shyt .. nikkas thought she was new .. but she been in the background of both labels

Yup. Jewell was even featured on the B.A. skit on nikkaz4Life, the 1 broad who calls in and says "since Ice Cube is sucking so much New York dikk, can he come eat some of this Chicago p*ssy"
I think Jewell could've made it if she would've had the songs. Her voice had way too much personality to not have made it and she has a distinctive voice.
She just needed the songs.

They just ran out of time. People forget the record cycle was completely different then, especially when everything you'v dropped has gone multi-platinum. You let smashes ride out then similar to how Bruno has done 24K Magic.

Pac coming to Death Row was huge, but one of the side effects was it pushed back the release schedule. Add that with Snoop being on trial for murder.

1997 would have been the year for Death Row R&B and they were gearing up for it with stuff like Makaveli' s "Toss It Up," Nate's "Never Leave Me Alone" and Danny Boy "Slip-N-Slide."

Danny Boy's unreleased album that finally came out in 2010 was fie.


They had the group Sixx Feet Deep too. The 1996 Death Row Christmas album was basically the Death Row R&B showcase album.


Pac said in an interview that he loved this song

Ain't that the truth! :mjcry:

I wish we could've gotten a Jewell album. Man, she done blessed so many nikkas songs it ain't even funny. A lot of songs wouldn't be what they are without her.
Her singing "fukk! fukk! fukk!":noah: on NWA's I'd Rather......

:banderas:
