Looks like these are finally official, unlike the "wishlist" that was posted a few days ago.

We have three songs from our catalog appearing on the upcoming Rockstar Games release "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". The songs that will be playing while you jack cars, recruit gang members, and make drug deals are "Let Me Ride", "Nuthin' But A G Thang", and "Gin & Juice". The game will be release October 2004.

[SolidSnakex]

Rockstar loves us all. They seem to be the only company that knows how to license games properly.

 

[bishoptl]

It's just as likely that Suge Knight threatened Rockstar's Houser into putting some Deathrow tracks in the game.

"I loved prison ... I had a ball in prison."

 

[levious]

OMG, there's only gonna be three songs, and they're all rap!!

 

[Dekajelly]

No Tupac Shakur

or does Amaru Records have complete rights over his music?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Since SA takes place in the early 90's I think Tupac would still be under Interscope records. So either they or his mom would own the rights to those songs.

 

[levious]

I wouldn't want death row tupac anyway.

 

[bishoptl]

"When My Homiez Call" would be a good track to include. Make it happen, Rockstar!

 

[WasabiKing]

Deep Cover would be way better. I'd also like to see/hear California Love and Indo Smoke.

 

[rc213]

We need "No Vaseline" on there STAT!

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Those 2nd two are good songs. What is "Let Me Ride"?

 

[dskillzhtown]

Deep Cover would be way better. I'd also like to see/hear California Love and Indo Smoke.

Indo Smoke would be the perfect fit. Wasabi and Bishop are my brothas in music.

 

[levious]

they should play Brenda's Having a Baby when you drive slowly past the hookers.

trippingmartian,

From Chronic as well...


Creepin' down the back street on Deez
I got my glock cocked cuz niggaz want these
Now soon as I said it, seems I got sweated
By some nigga with a tech 9 tryin' to take mine
Ya wanna make noise, make noise
I make a phone call my niggaz comin' like the Gotti boys
Bodies bein' found on Greenleaf
With their fuckin heads cut off, motherfucker i'm Dre
So listen to the play - by - play, day - by - day
Rollin' in my '4 with 16 switches
And got sounds for the bitches, clockin' all the riches
Got the hollow points for the snitches
So would you just walk on by, cuz I'm too hard to lift
And no this ain't Aerosmith
It's the motherfuckin D - R - E, from the CPT
On a ryhmin' spree, a straight G
Hop back as i pop my top ya trip
I let the hollow points commence to POP POP POP
Yeah, cuz if it don't stop
I have to put my shit in reverse go back and take anothers stop
Cause I'm (Rollin in my six - fo')
With all the niggaz sayin

Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
With all the niggaz sayin
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride

{Verse Two:}

Just another motherfuckin day for Dre so I begin like this
No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just
That gangster glare, with gangster raps
That gangster shit, that makes the gang of snaps, uhh
Word to the motherfuckin streets
And word to these hyped ass lyrics and dope beats, that I
Hit ya with that I, get ya with
As I groove in my four on deez, hittin the switches
Bitches relax while I get my proper swerve on
Bumpin like a motherfucker ready to get my serve on
But before I hit the dope spot
I gotta get the chronic, the Reme Martin and my soda pop
Now I'm smellin like indo - nesia
Bus stop full of fly bitches and skeezers
On my dick, cause my four on hit
Pancake front and back, side to side and all that shit
So when I crawl I comes correct
Now, if your bitch in my shit, it's your bitch you check nigga
Now let the Chevrolet slide
As I dip a nigga trip to the south side, yeah
(Rollin in my six - fo') with all the bitches sayin

{Verse Three:}

Check this out
The sun went down when I hit Slausson
On my way to the strip, now I'm just flossin
Checkin my rearview, cause niggaz they will do
Jack moves, black fools cause I smack fools
Try to set me up for a two - eleven
Fuck around and get caught up in a one - eight - seven
But I don't represent no gangbang
Some niggaz like lynchin but I just watch them hang
So on, and so - on, why don't you let me roll on
I remember back in the dayz when I used to have to get my stroll on
Didn't nobody wanna speak; now everybody
Peepin out they windows when they hear me beatin up the streets
Is it Dre? Is it Dre?
That's what they say, every single motherfuckin day, yo
But I ain't trippin I'm just kickin it
While my deez keep spinnin and these hoes keep grinnin I'll be
(Rollin in my six - fo') With everybody sayin

 

[bjork]

I still say they need Cop Killer. Perfect for all-out rampaging gameplay.

"I got my stereo bumpin
I'm out to kill me somethin
A pig stopped me for nothin!

I know your family's grievin'.... FUCK EM!

BUT TONIGHT WE GET EVEN" etc.

 

[Greekboy]

We need "No Vaseline" on there STAT!

Haha. Cube dissing Dre and Eazy?

 

[bishoptl]

I never had dinner with the President
I never had dinner with the President
I never had dinner with the President

 

[dskillzhtown]

If Sony would allow developers to use the HDD....

 

[calder]

Oh shit mutherfuckas step to the rear and cheer
'Cause Tim Dog is here
Let's get down to the nitty gritty
And talk about a bullshit city

It can't all be west coast glorifying just because it's in San Andreas.


And I still want the Maestro for some non-gansta classic late 80's, early 90's hip-hop.

 

[Greekboy]

Calder scores points for remembering "Tim Dog" and "Fuck Compton". He started the East vs West and not Tupac vs Biggie.

Not sure who started it. Rodney O and Joe Cooley came out with a CD named, "Fuck New York." Not sure if that was before or after Tim Dog.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Regardless of who started it, Biggie & Tupac both paid dearly.

 

[Greekboy]

I'm sure a lot of it was done with the intention to fuel record sales on both coasts.

It came out 2 years after Tim Dog's "Fuck Compton" did:

[dskillzhtown]

I'm sure a lot of it was done with the intention to fuel record sales on both coasts.

I'm sure it was. Like the fake NWA/Ice Cube fued.

 

[levious]

bronx vs. queens meant a lot more

 

[Saint Cornelius]

For a minute I thought this had to do with the XBox game "Deathrow"

How sad

West coast mimes vs. East coast mimes

 

[WasabiKing]

Indo Smoke would be the perfect fit. Wasabi and Bishop are my brothas in music.

Ex-DJs represent! Cop Killer was controversial then, even more now. Sorry to play the P.C. card here, but no need to push your luck. Tim Dog is a little bitch. If it was up to me, no East Coast, all West Coast music, cause it fits with the game, and the era. East Coast stations would never play West Coast stuff, and vice versa in the mid-90s.

If Houser came to me and said "negotiate licenses for rap tracks," this is what I would go with.

Bitch Betta Have My Money - AMG
Dre Day - Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg
100 Miles and Runnin' - N.W.A.
Straight Outta Compton - N.W.A.
Life Is...Too Short - Too $hort
California Love - Dr. Dre & 2Pac
Pimp of the Year - Dru Down (bonus points if you know his famous dad)

There's some East Coast stuff I'd like to see too, but I don't know if it would really fit. I also hope that when you drive up the coast, the radio stations fade out and all you get is country, mexican music, and christian crap.

 

[bishoptl]

What about "Leave My Curl Alone" by Hi-C?
Or "Back To The Hotel"
Or the entire Ice-T "Power" album?

I could go on all day. I need to sit down.

 

[Greekboy]

If Houser came to me and said "negotiate licenses for rap tracks," this is what I would go with.

Eazy-E : "Real Muthafuken G's" should also be included because it exposes Dr Dre for the fraud he really was.

It's not where you're from it's where you're at

 

[Date of Lies]

Too bad (or too good) Eazy isn't with Deathrow, cause "Wut Would You do" would have been good.

I'm suprised not one of you mofckerz said this but
Runnin' (from the police) (B.I.G. + Tupac) would be just too good:
LYRICS (censored version) SUX

They changed "running from the 5-0" to "running from the 4-5"
And "two cops on the milkbox, missing" to "Tupac on the milkbox, missing"

Here's the lyrics of the uncensored version:



Runnin' from the police (Yeah I know what you mean)
No matter what I do, they got a nigga
still runnin' from the police
(Put them motherfuckin Nike's on tight and get ghost y'all)

Verse One: Dramacydal

I ain't got nuttin on my mind, but gettin in some trouble
Lickin shots to they block leavin bloody blood puddles
for some ridah delight, now we in a gunfight
I can shoot the gauge pebbles at the devils or die tonight
It's on me, but if I die bury me a motherfuckin G
A open casket on them bastards so they all remember me
With my vest on my chest, my tools and my piece
Thug Life motherfucker gotta me runnin' from the *police*

Nigga, you know that's true
Catch a nigga like K-Dog, chillin wit a crew
Every damn day parlay with my glass of Re
The O.J. and it's all OK
To that fuckin fake *I shot*, got to play the man
Ran me down the block with my glass in my hand
Damn, I hope it don't spill
Nigga chill, shit is real cock back my steel

Still runnin' from the *police* I gets no sleep
I got you peepin in my window while I'm smokin indo
But I ain't no motherfuckin track star, *Trator* got a Jeep
Like Big Mouth, runnin through motherfuckers backyards
So I, grabs my piece before I flee
And instead of me runnin', these bitches is runnin' from me
Lick shots hits spots off on my piece
Cause a nigga like Big Mouth is through runnin' from the *police*

Interlude: Don Gargon ?? (some ragga toaster, this is a very rough guess)

I bust off! What about the time they pull me from the Bronco
lay, they tried to cock me, but them can't gun store
When a batty bwoy do it from the mob
Ahh, pull up your pants then you screw an left squad
Look around, look around, punk police
While gwan man doesn't a come but a bad boy test
Look around, look around, punk police
Me hafta blast back, cause de blast is best

Verse Two: Stretch, Notorious B.I.G.

Yo I was, schemin and fiendin for loots and took the crooked route
to, ghetto fame I felt the pains and now I run the game
The insane brain, cold gettin fly like a plane
on them suckers with my nigga Biggie Smalls causin ruckus

Check it, I grew up a fuckin screwup
Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin blew up
Choppin rocks overnight
The nigga Biggie Smalls tryin ta turn into the black Frank White

And we got the workers choppin rock, Benz by the flock
And we gettin it, the dirty *pigs* jealous so they sweatin it
I'm lettin off smoke, hope they don't play me for no joke
and provoke the homicide, so just let the drama slide
We keepin it real, fuck how you feel, Biggie pass the steel
Let's serve these motherfuckers slugs as a fuckin meal

We had to grow dreads to change our description
*Two Cops* on the milk box missin
Show they toes you know they got stepped on
A fist full of bullets a chest full of Teflon
Run from the *police* picture that, nigga I'm too fat
I fuck around and catch a asthma attack (heavy breathing)
That's why I bust back, it don't phase me
When he drop, take his glock, and I'm Swayze
Summer break, my escape, sold the glock, bought some weight
Laid back, I got some money to make, motherfucker

Interlude: Don Gargon ?? (again this is a very rough guess)

Now it's war, me tryin to sell, runnin from the punk po-lice
They try to cock me, but them can't gun store
What about they come to hold up me North
Pulled up the park, I left school and left buck
Look around, look around, punk police
Was about to blast with ya gun but you can't stop me
Look around, look around, punk police
Me haf to blast back, cause blast back best

Verse Three: 2Pac

They got me runnin' from the *five-o*
duckin and dodgin in my survival
The Benzo and I let off with my *nine milli*
I'm movin swifter than the next nigga, no time for sex
Cause in my mind all I wonder is who's next
Nigga, my homey slipped and now he pays the price
He did a driveby, sixteen, now he's doin triple life
Tell me is it me or my upbringin
I split that dove shit
Nigga motherfuck singin, I hope you got your Timberlands
on tight, cause I ain't givin up
I'd rather duck these motherfuckers all night
I'm runnin' through the projects, beyotch
They'll never catch me
Cause I'm loc'd and trigger happy on the, sneotch
Don't say you never heard of me, til they murder me, I'm a legend
Do Thug Niggas go to heaven?
I'm rollin with the thorough heads
We gettin ghost on them hoes and yo
I got no love for the *motherfuckers* I'm runnin' from the police

Outro: Don Gargon ?? to fade


I'm not sure who owns the rights to that song though.
Find the uncensored version on a p2p or something, name: Runnin' (uncensored)

 

[Greekboy]

I'm suprised not one of you mofckerz said this but
Running (from the police) (B.I.G. + Tupac) would be just too good.

I'm not sure who owns the rights to that song though.

Shame....."Fuck tha Police" from NWA would have been damn sweet too.

 

[Date of Lies]

And anyone who thinks Tupac is dead is ignorant.

 

[Shinobi]

Those 2nd two are good songs. What is "Let Me Ride"?

Classic Dre track from the Chronic album.

I also hope that when you drive up the coast, the radio stations fade out and all you get is country, mexican music, and christian crap.

"Dear Mama" would be a cool song to cruise to at night...slow your ride down for the chicks, give 'em a holla. Ahem.

 

[fart]

There's some East Coast stuff I'd like to see too, but I don't know if it would really fit. I also hope that when you drive up the coast, the radio stations fade out and all you get is country, mexican music, and christian crap.

don't forget the talk radio on AM, and the oldies stations

 

[hobbitx]

Damn those are the only Death Row songs? No "Dre Day", "Ain't no Fun"(best nasty song ever), or "G's and Hustlas"?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I never had dinner with the President
I never had dinner with the President
I never had dinner with the President

With a midget who's a punk too,
tryin' to fuck me, but I'd rather fuck you.
Eric Wright, punk, always into somethin', gettin' fucked at night.
By Mista Shitpacker, bend over for the gotdamn cracker, no vaseline...

Now all it needs is some slowjamz for when you pick up hte hookers. I nominate "Knockin' da boots" by H-Town.

 

[Flynn]

Rockstar loves us all. They seem to be the only company that knows how to license games properly.

Why do you say that? I love all the generic, forgetable, pseudo-extreme craprock that gets slapped onto games. The dull, faux-intense, Matrix-trance techno kicks serious ass too.

 

[Error Macro]

I think Suge Knight held Rockstar over the edge of a balcony.




Now I'm waiting for their press release that says he didn't, and the previous reports of threatening were just a joke.
