GAF-HOP, help me.
There's this song from an album I downloaded ages ago that I can't remember the name to, nor where I left it in my computer.
It was specifically a videogame sampling album, but the one song that stood out for me used Double Dragon, and I'm willing to believe that that was even the song title.
I've spent the last half-hour searching around, and I've come up empty handed.
All I remember was that the album cover was incredibly busy with color :S
I don't remember the album itself being particularly phenomenal, but that one song kinda stuck, though I think it was more thanks to DD itself than not. Did a search, and I think I may have only had it in zip form and lost it when I formatted my hdd :/
I think the lyrics to the song possibly had something to do with growing up and dealing with stuff.

O_O Wow.........I gotta admit the song is catchy as fuck....i killed the replay button lol
I bet you guys didn't think the west would comeback like this lmao
Oddfuture, lil b, Mann, Kreayshawn, etc.
The west coast is back. Without Dr. Dre

Dre never had the West Coast, and never will. This girl could fill a void that Lily Allen and Kid Sister, slacked on. Make more songs with catchy hooks, and she's good. She needs to be random like, Peaches("Fuck the pain away"...Greatest line she ever wrote)or Princess Superstar(Ahead of her time)Damn, I feel old mentioning Princess Superstar, love her records....Good times. EDIT-My bad, Princess Superstar actually has some skill.
oh good god, no. I came across that while searching, too.DominoKid said:
The song I'm thinking of used this particular track, but obviously modified.

Johnny J and DJ Muggz say otherwise. Dre would be nothing without his crew, nothing! Dude's like JJ made that West Coast sound what it is today. No wonder Suge had him do most of All Eyez on me album. Dre is a loop hogging fool and nothing more. Once he ran out of funk breaks to sample...My bad, loop. Homeboy exposed himself.

DJ Muggs says otherwise to what?
And regardless All Eyez on Me, Da Chronic and 2001 are all credited to Dre.. He put together the best teams to carry him at all times, from the DOC to JJ to Mike E.. The eye for talent is just as important for making classic albums, especially if you run a label. So what is your beef?

Half credit. That goes to Mel-Man. The man who MADE the aftermath sound. And you tend to forget that Lord Finesse was part of that project as well. My beef is, people tend to think he does everything dolo, when that's not the case at all. I understand you need a crew to make bangers and such, but when most of your bangers were done by your dude "Hitman" Snoop, Jay-Z(That's right folks)etc....You wack. By your logic, Puffy is GOD then.Blackace said:

Puffy wasn't so bad back in the day, but didn't have the eye for talent Dre does.. What you say isn't a secret and nobody who knows hip hop thinks Dre created everything solo... Ice Cube created the NWA swagger and basically made Eazy-E, just like DOC made Snoop... But Eazy was Eazy and Snoop is dressing up like a Pixie in Kate Perry videos and people respect them.. Few people do everything, DJ Quik is one of the few...

Yes indeed. Same could be said about Too Short as well. Puffy Still looking for that "Star" since Ma$e. Was Ma$e his last superstar to carry the label?

I use a CAD u37 and Audacity and basically two track it. Well, it's not really two tracks since I layer the vocals a couple times and do some adlibs, but yeah, really basic. There are good tutorials on YouTube for normalizing and EQing your vocals. Results can be pretty clean for $50. Sure as hell sounds better then the stuff I recorded 12 years ago on $600 worth of real (cheap) kit. A plosive filter is $15 well spent for this set up too.

Get "Haiku D'Etat" also. There are only a couple solo Myka records, I believe. I have a really old one with purple/gray cover and a drawing of his face. Can't remember the name. Try to find the Fat Jack comp and any of the Project Blowed stuff. He's all over that shit. Great MC.

Apparently The Weekend is working with Drake on his next album, which could be interesting

I gotta respect her because she knows the ultimate truth that Shakespeare was "historical" and had "swag" and also that Napoleon was "coming through with the swag".

If by any chance you are working backwards through his catalogue, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted + Kill At Will & Death Certificate are going to blow you away. Both infinitely superior to The Predator
Jo Shishido's Cheeks said:
I wasn't really working backwards, but went and downloaded it because I had just watched Due Date, and didn't have Check Yo Self in my iTunes. But I'll go get both albums now, I'm always looking for hip-hop from the 80's/90's. Since I'm only 17, I was never exposed to this stuff, and I love it.
Is AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Kill At Will the same album? You said "both albums", so that's what I'm assuming, otherwise you listed 3 albums....

Heh yeah I did word that a little stupidly
Kill At Will is a short 6 track EP that was released shortly after AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted.
Re-releases of AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted have always included the Kill At Will disc so I kinda see them as the same album now.
But yeah, get AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted LP, Kill At Will EP and Death Certificate LP and I can guarantee if you like The Predator you won't regret it!
Have you checked out any NWA yet?
