I think laying vocals and putting out Grow Up was the last straw for Dre. Glad he did, but that was supposedly a beat for Marsha Ambrosious
Bishops dope. I still bump ****** noize and the confessional.
Dres just a fukkin weirdo who doesnt release shyt.
I was looking at the 2012 BET Awards and said the same thing when I saw the West Coast cypher. Bishop Lamont was supposed to be there too. I think his problem was that he was too monotone and he didn't have the sense of presence that he needed, to take him to the next level. A perfect example of this is that song he has with Xzibit, Hallelujah. Compare Bishop Lamont's energy to X to Z's and he can't match up. He is nice but he is just missing that "umpth" factor. That's why he isn't there. And it's not a promise that Kendrick Lamar is gonna stay there either. You gotta be built for that.

This is it.
This is why Bishop, Mr. Malik, King T, RBX, Hittman, Knoc'Turn-Al, and Stat Quo's chit is in the vault.
Can't be made at them. They just wanted to drop something and blow up. Runnin' with Dr. Dre is a life and death proposition. It will definitely boost your profile and buzz but good luck trying to get a single or album to drop. Dre is too much of a perfectionist and skitzo with his shyt. That's why he won't release shyt. Probably wouldn't have had The Chronic 1 & 2 if it wasn't for Suge breathin' down his neck to finish records.If Bishop was supposed to be Kendrick, then so were Hittman, Joell Ortiz, Slim the mobster, and Stat Quo. The difference is Kendrick already had his own lane to put his music out, Bishop and the others were waiting for Dre to do it for them.
Who the fukk bumps a mixtape called '****** Noize', fukking weirdoBishops dope. I still bump ****** noize and the confessional.
Dres just a fukkin weirdo who doesnt release shyt.
