ToP DoGG`s "EVeRy DoG HaS HiS DaY"...

You probably know of Top Dogg as the Snoop Dogg sound a~like from Compton, California that Suge Knight had signed to Death Row Records around the time that Snoop had left for Master P`s No Limit Records, 1997-1998 I think it was. Many headZ say it was more of a retaliation move than a business move for Suge & I`d have to agree. I mean c`mon it was just too much of a coincidence that homie sounded like Snoop! Not only that, Top Dogg`s first appearance (I could be wrong) was on the "Gang Related Soundtrack" as a hidden track titled "Going Back To Cali" a bold Biggie, Puff Daddy & Bad Boy Records DiSS...





By bold I mean when I first heard the track I thought it was actually Snoop...LoL, I remember hearin` it on the radio....ah good ol` College Radio, "The Jeep Beats Show" I believe it was I could be wrong, either way I was sayin` to myself, "DaMn now Snoop`s DiSS`n `em!" Then thru the miracles of a Ghetto Blaster & a blank Memorex cassette tape that had been recording the show, I hit rewind listened to it again & figured the whole ish out....LoL

I think that was all part of Suge`s plan anyhow & to his credit I`m sure it did help garner some attention. That`s probably why to continue the buzz that Top Dogg gained from that "Goin` Back To Cali" track, he gave Top Dogg an appearance on the "2Pac Greatest Hits" double CD album, on the song "All About U" -- Top Dogg replaced Snoop on the track...




Top Dogg`s next appearance would be on the 2001 released Death Row compilation album "Chronic 2000" on the J-Flexx produced track "Top Dogg Cindafella". A side~note, Snoop released a track titled "Snoopafella" which appears on his "No Limit Top Dogg" album & it features lyrics that are real similar to that that are featured on "Top Dogg Cindafella" so I can only guess that Snoop actually wrote the lyrics but Suge had Top Dogg add his twist to it for his version. Check it out for ya`self...








Top Dogg also had the DJ Quik produced track "We Don`t Love `Em" featured on that "Chronic 2001" album as well. In my opinion it`s a much better track than "Top Dogg Cindafella", I don`t see why they wouldn`t have put together a music video for this joint. Then again I guess the video for "Top Dogg Cindafella" was just another Suge shot at Snoop. Not only did Suge go for a lil` revenge with "Chronic 2000", he also tried his shot at comedy. Just look at Top Dogg`s third appearance on the compilation, Tha Realest`s track "They Wanna Be Like Us" which also features Doobie. How could it not seem just a lil` funny when you have a 2Pac & a Snoop sound a~like featured on the same track titled "They Wanna Be Like Us"???





After a while I figure Suge Knight grew tired of the whole Top Dogg thing because once Top Dogg`s contract with Tha Row expired he was released, but his album "Every Dog Has His Day" was shelved though promo copies were released. SO if you`re down for a few laughs go `head & check it out...

SPLiFF`s "BRiNGiN` DRaMa"...

I`ve got somewhat of a rare release for y`all today & it comes from the rapper named Spliff, now with a name like that it was only right to feature him up on this BLoG....LoL, anyway I`m sure there`s a lot of folks out there that have no clue about this emcee so I`ll give y`all a lil` rundown...

Spliff`s love for HiP HoP began at an early age, in fact it started back in 1984 when he was only ten years old. He was living in Fort Walton Beach, Florida when he set out to make a name for himself & his city. Four years later (1988 to be exact) Spliff & one of his homies connected to form the group the 808 Posse, but the group was short lived though, disbanding in 1992 -- that`s when Spliff really started to grind on the music tip. His hard work finally paid off in 1993 when he linked up with an independent record label named Down $outh Records, which was later renamed to $traight 2 Gold Incorporated. Under the direction of the label he started to work on his first official project titled "Underground Funk"...


May 26, 1994 was the day that "Underground Funk" was released. A lil` later on in the same year Spliff`s father, who was in the Air Force at the time, received orders to relocate to Colorado Springs, Colorado. With the relocation came the end of his agreement with Down $outh Records, so in September of 1994 Spliff submitted his demo to Felony Records, a Denver, Colorado label. Impressed by his music, the label signed him & they released his second album titled "Bringin` Drama" in 1995...

He later opened up shows for acts such as Shang (the comedian), Keith Murray, DMD, Lil` Troy, Tha Alkaholiks, J-Shin, Kid Frost, Ginuwine & many others. Now sometime between 1995 & the present day Spliff changed up his moniker, he now goes by the name M.A.S.U. -- an acronym for M.ust A.lways S.tay U.nited. In 2001 Spliff a.k.a. M.A.S.U. connected with Born 2 Die Records to release "No Mercy". He`s also featured on "Paper Chasin`" a track from Mob Affiliates` 2001 album titled "Many Voices...One Flame". He`s also featured on "1, 2", "Tunnel Vision" & "Krunk Funk", all tracks from the 2001 $traight 2 Gold Inc. release, L.D. "The Power of Hip Hop"...

So there y`all go, hope that`s enough info` for ya. Now go `head & get to checkin` out the tunes, enjoy...

YouNG SoLDieRZ` "YouNG SoLDieRZ"...

Got some more of that over~look`D WeST CoaST ish for y`all & it comes in the form of the Young Soldierz. Now for those that don`t know, the Young Soldierz were a group of rappers from Inglewood & Watts, California. They got together & formed during the making of the Bloods & Crips project titled "Bangin` On Wax" which was released thru Dangerous Records. The group was comprised of members; Big Wy, Dog, Pops & Lil` Stretch. Their first & only self~titled album, "Young Soldierz" was released in 1994 thru Dangerous Records. The album spawned two hit singles; "Alligator" & "If Tomorrow Comes"...









Shortly after the Bloods & Crips dropped their second album titled "Bangin` On Wax 2...The Saga Continues" the Young Soldierz met Death Row Records` co-founder Suge Knight & they eventually signed to Tha Row. They ended up getting some shine with a track placement on the soundtrack for "Murder Was The Case", that track was the "East Side, West Side [Rmx]". They also had a track on the "Gang Related Soundtrack", that track was titled "Take A Nigga Like Me". Those two tracks were pretty much the extent of their career on Death Row. The group broke up in 1998 around the same time that Tha Row was struggling. After the break up Big Wy & Dog (now Suga Buga) recorded "How Deep Is Your Hood" with the Damu Ridas. Later on they continued to rap by forming the group The Relatives. So there y`all have it, a lil` rundown of who the Young Soldierz are - now all ya gotta do is check out their music...
