Suge Knight Details Assistance On The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ready To Die"

[DR. JEK]

It's funny my wife was listening to Brat's first album last night n i was tellin her how much she swagger jacked Snoop that whole album. Lol

The Brat had the nerve to kinda brag about swagger jacking Snoop and them. She knew what she was doing because people in the streets was getting on her about it. If you listen to "Sitting on top of the world" she got the nerve to say at the end

"You see, niggas round town called this and that

Said I sound like the Pound and my shit was wack

Dropped the album funkdafied and they thought it was bold

30 days later, the LP went gold."

So that tells me sounding like snoop was part of the marketing plan apparently. So when Another tantum probably didn't do what they wanted you see her 3rd album she sounded like she was on some Midwest shit

Yo, this shit is crazy.....Feelns everywhere....Allhiphop needs to start a mental health thread and have therapist/crisis counselors on hand....This rap shyt really fucked some of you cats up....lol

Big said RTD was heavily influenced by the Chronic and Doggystle.... The Brat well that goes without saying, she was even sounding like Biggie at one point...Kriss Kross sounded like Das Efx and Treach too....I think Treach said something about writing Jump....

Lol @ niggaz thinking that when they made rims n convertibles that no one bought them except for Californians. Wow learn something new every time on this site.

g-funk to me is Hip-Hop mixed with Funk

if you think about it Hip-Hop is made from samples

it was inevitable that someone was gonna sample a very popular form of music called funk and

put a hip hop beat to that's g-funk

eventually if Hip Hop was sampling other music it was gonna run across the funk

so cuz west coast made it popular first no one else can sample the funk? ..smh

I give them credit but at the same time other areas have the right to sample the funk without being called biters

cuz the samples belong to the funk

maybe Im being defensive because of southern g-funk

 

[CapitalB]

I don't see it on the funkdafied song

I don't agree with the chronic being bit at this point

I know g-funk influenced

but I think it's a difference between southern g-funk and west coast g-funk

i fuck wit the South HEAVY!!!

moreso then my own region..

BUT NIGGA!!?

we gave yall niggas life.. stop that shit!

yall so WestCoast influenced it aint even funny.. to this day!

 

[(ob)Scene]

Didnt BIG admit he was influenced by King Tee???

Nigga the least you could've done was post a song that predates Ready to Die.

I been saying this shit for years..

niggas come to the west..

smoke our weed.. soak in our sun rays..

get turned down by our bad bitches..

and then go back to wherever the fuck they from new niggas..

BUT THEN try to shit on the west?!? smmfh

rims.. top down.. popping bottles.. thats all westcoast...

Yea I think everybody out he has been tryna tell everybody this.... Niggas in the west don't become bigger becuz everybody from other regions comes and takes our shit and runs with it but when we put it out there it gets classified as "too west coast sounding"..….. the masses like the west coast sound they just don't like it coming from west coast artist especially if it's our bay sound

Im not a big Bay fan..

im a Southern Cali nigga.. but I know niggas who are and they always pointing out how the Bay be getting bitten..

shit is disgusting..

it really is disgusting cuz the bay has great talent and none of them are getting shine because people are stealing their sound which is fucked up . Lowkey west is running hiphop not the south

Eh...wouldn't say that, but everything is Definitely Southern and West Coast influenced in rap today

Some of the souths most popular producers are from the Bay (e.g. Zaytoven) and they carried their sound with them which influences other producers in the south.

I don't know if he ever listened to Mac Dres music but if you listen to Young Dolph, he has a couple of songs that sound like Mac Dre verses. When I heard the first verse on this my first thought was "damn this sound like some Dre shit"

...And an East Atlanta Nigga gave the Bay 2 of their Biggest Classics.

(e.g. Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" & E-40's "Tell Me When to Go")

Zaytoven is from the Bay but his sound didn't catch on at first because that wasn't the sound in Atlanta...he said himself Gucci and others told him he had to tailor his Beats to the Vibe down here and Voila...You got the Signature Zaytoven sound.

Yall did pave the way for other areas to be accepted in Hip Hop

Im sure alot was influenced by the west but you could say the same about the east

you gotta post up 2 tracks to compare the brat/snoop comparison aint cutting it

Ehhhh...lol

I think both regions have many Similar influences and culture factors.

You gotta remember, wasn't too much to do in the South wayyy back when. Not a Metropolis like alot of it is today...so Picking up that Guitar and them Drumsticks and other instruments and starting Funk, Soul, Blues, Jazz, and Country Bands was Natural.

We both have the Old School Car culture and the warmest weather in the Country

But To say we got that from the West is Crazy talk lol

Also, the rest of the country aint really thinking about what went on 25 years ago in rap like that...I'll still bump the Chronic,etc. and maybe even reminisce but there is enough going on now to...its not something other regions dwell on. All regions can think of how they influenced (and influence) others. Also why divide everything by region? I like to enjoy music freely without thinking somehow they "different" over there and all that.

I agree that at that time, early 90s with the influences mentioned here. Its just that, Isnt that a good thing and understandable that something would be more influential in a time period? So I dont get the point of even worrying about that type of thing especially now. Also as has been asked when was this said and what was the context?
