Was Dr. Dre really expecting Knocturnal to blow up off this song?

The joint with Hittman was dope. Would gladly pay for an album featuring those two over Battlecat/Quik/Fred Wreck/Soundwave production. Tge track with him singing with Quik in the background was dope too. He was talented but that bottle got him, or at least had him.

I liked how he talked sh1t on Suge before Suge's skirt exposal.

First of all you know what an SSL is so that's a major dap for you :salute: - For everyone else that's a top of the line mixing board that runs into the multiple hundred's of thousands of dollars. Him doing that probably led to the label having to pay out to the studio


Second . . HE DID THAT? :damn:




Appreciate the education. That's a wake up sober Urkle moment like did I do that?

I thought it slapped, but Knoc never really had any charisma...He got bars, but his style is so generic and forgettable. Kinda like Shade Sheist. Its amazing that he had Missy on the hook, and Dre on the beat and that joint still flopped. Those were probably two of the top five biggest names in hip hop at the time.

lol he poured a 40 on a 250,000 dollar machine :damn:? :lolbron:

That's like an ugly girl drinking at a party, getting drunk and then walking up to a girl with the most beautiful dress in the room and tossing her drink at them. To do that, you've gotta be ugly inside and out, only deep seeded issues can lead to this type of behavior


:pachaha: <<< this man got shot in Quad Studios, walked up into a Bad Boy studio session and suspected people of setting him up, even he did not pour a drink all over their mixing board.

Instead he rolled up a blunt and had someone call an ambulance. First cops to respond to the call just so happened to be the same cops that arrested him during the sexual abuse case . . which just so happens to of happened after he shot their ATL colleagues (cops be like a brotherhood)

Then right before he's gunned down in Vegas he's pulled over by some bicycle cops . . maybe one could deduce that this was done to get everything lined up to take him out. The Cadillac pulled up at alongside the BMW at a slightly diagonal angle that allowed them to fire on their target without making Suge an innocent casualty.

I see the opposite, he's got great character and his charisma isn't exactly all their but there's a precision within his character that I like. I'm wondering if his style is a product of heavy alcohol consumption, if that's the case we might have to look into Suga Free's habits as well.

From The Westside With Love
The only reason that Knoc'turnal never got anywhere...is cause he was a Ras Kass level drunk.

Dude was literally ruining concerts cause he was a drunk...fukked up a Westside Connection show doing that.

dubcnn.com // Knoc-Turn'Al Interview (January 2008) //West Coast News Network //


Dubcnn: I'm good, thanks! At one point, you were considered the most anticipated West Coast artist coming out, and then little by little it seemed like everything was going wrong. How do you feel looking back at the early 2000's?


I feel like I was drinking and smoking too much, wasn't worried about business, you know?
I was too busy having fun instead of just worrying about solidifying my family. That's a mistake you make sometimes when you're young, I'm older now and I believe I can bounce back. I made good music before, and I'm on my way to trying to be legendary, so I'm not gonna give up.

Dubcnn: As you mentioned before, there was a lot of talk about your alcohol problems and that you were in rehab and all that, do you want to clear that up so the people hear the real deal from your mouth?

The real deal is: Yeah I have an alcohol problem, I've always had it. When I said "drinking, smoking, straight West Coastin'", I meant that, and that's what people loved me for. And I said it was "Super Ugly", I never said it was nice. My point beyond that is, to clear it up, sometimes people get older and they try to rectify situations in their past, what they don't like about themselves.


Of course, I might still drink on a weekend, yeah if you buy me a drink I'll drink with you, but I'm not just gonna sit there and keep drinking day in day out, or smoking day in day out. It's not what business is about. The only way I could rectify that was being able to say "Nah, not right now." If people take me like I'm a punk because of that, then I would have to deal with them, but it doesn't mean any disrespect to anyone.
