Dre/Pac

This is a captured moment of the only time they were in the studio together for 'All Eyez On Me'. The song 'California Love' was given to PAC by Suge who just had PAC add his vocals to an already completed song, as 'California...' was to be the lead single off of Dre's follow up solo album to his incomparable 'TheChronic'. In regards to their other "coloboration", "U can't C Me", Suge once again took the track from Dre and replaced Ice Cube's vocals with PAC's as this was to be the lead single off the Dre/Cube 'Helter Skelter' project on Death Row Records reuniting the two former N.W.A superstars.

More on Rakim/50/Dre thing

For Rakim's Aftermath debut, 9 original songs (complete with full verses and choruses) produced by Dr. Dre were done and "in the can" ready for mastering. Inexplicably, 2 months later Rakim and Dre had a falling out that led to Rakim getting his release from the label. All of his verses were stripped from those beats and literally 2 weeks later replaced with full verses and hooks by the then newest Aftermath signee, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. Two of those former Rakim tracks went on to become, If I Can't and Heat, for 50's debut, Get Rich Or Die Tryin'.

Mike/Suge

With his empire reeling as a result of the death of the Icon himself(PAC), lack of musical vision, and creditors up the arse, Suge was scrambling to find a way to put his newly minted, Tha Row Records, on top by any means necessary and the only way to do that was through good music. Unfortunately for him, ass whuppins for sport and late royalty payments kept a lot of people from working with/for him as they were scared for that to happen to them. Suge felt with proven artists in the stable like Petey Pablo, Juvenille, Kurupt, Crooked I, and Left Eye plus a burgeoning friendship with rapper on a serious upswing, T.I., could produce some good music and have him back on top. The problem was and has always been the use of intimidation as motivation. He lost a valuable piece to his empire when he tried to punk Devanté Swing in front of their mutual friend, Iron Mike Tyson. When Suge threatened Swing with one of those patented 'Row' beatings for sport for not making hit records, Tyson countered with getting up in Suge's face in defense of Swing and admonished Suge for what he felt was Suge's poor treatment of his employees. He informed Knight that a beat down of epic proportions was headed his way if he didn't back off. This in turn allowed Swing the freedom to start showing up at the studio when he wanted to eventually not at all.


This isn't anything revealing... most of this is well documented. Dude been reading a bunch of old Source magazines and documentaries on Death Row.

Coming from a family of ALL accomplished doctors and lawyers except for one of his older brothers, standing behind he and Eazy, Yella was at first a disappointment to the family that he didn't follow In the family's scholastic footsteps.

:ohhh:

Busta Rhymes once said to Me, "The only one out of them(N.W.A.) that gets true respect on the East is D.O.C..."

:whoo:

There have only been FOUR so called LA based rappers EVER to be able to walk in ANY neighborhood they wanted to WITHOUT security or "The Homies". Ice T, Eazy, W.C. and Pac period.

Everybody says WC is the realest rapper in L.A. :pachaha:

I also hear the same thing about Kam.

That Ice-T story, though. :demonic:

I'm just posting what I come across.

Formation of Westside Connection

Mack 10's love for Jayo Felony's album, 'Take a Ride', and disdain for Masta Ace's pseudo west coast parody album, 'Slaughterhouse', were just two of the reasons for the formation of the Westside Connection. Although they had wanted Jayo to be a part of it in some sort of way, his reliance/addiction to "Sherm Sticks" made him persona non grata in the industry, basically he couldn't be trusted. Another main component was the fact that two different factions were looking to "talk" to de facto Westside Connection leader, Ice Cube. One faction was lead by rapper KAM and his FOI Riders. The other was lead 2PAC and Suge Knight(more on these two different stories later). With those walls closing in on him, Cube jumped at the opportunity to have a both Blood(Mack 10) and Crip(W.C.) team to offset the two aforementioned Crip and Blood squads that were ready to pounce on him.

DOC helped but he didn't write 80% of that first album. But he def helped write on both Eazy album and NWA shyt. Matter fact it's easy to tell the verses he wrote. His style is written all over em.

No that was after the last time they met. Before that suge tried to do the same thing and failed.
Doesn't matter which time they met. Clearly they forced eazy to sign the paperwork which is how he won the lawsuit.
