Did Snoop write Funkdafied?

All facts and Xscape was TLC.

Peep Kandi doing her best T Boz impression on their debut single

Jermaine explained in his book that Xscape was patterned directly to be a "hood version of En Vogue" where all the members could sing lead equally and it wasn't a "leader."

While that Kandi verse does sound TLC-ish, you also gotta remember that JD actually helped created and develop TLC. If we're being honest, TLC was dressing just like a female Kris Kross.

You can also chalk up Xscape's look to the 1993 "Everybody Turns Gangsta" thing that happened. It's a dope thread about that on here receny.

It's kinda simar to Puffy being the brains behind both Mary J and Faith or Jodeci & 112.

I didn't really notice it as much at the time as a kid because everybody was on that gangsta/g-funk tip and it all kinda blended together (Biggie, Domino, Snoop, etc).

Plus Da Brat was the very first hard female rapper to debut with a legit push and make catchy singles (Boss was underground). Brat was the first solo female rapper to go platinum.

I didn't really get it until a lil later when people were asking her about it in interviews and magazine articles.

As people have already posted, this video had a shot at JD @ :20

It's also why JD and Snoop collaborating together for the MIB soundtrack was kinda big

Brat was spitting though and the album a classic

I always hated that the run time of her albums were short as hell.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

I'm 40,i was 14-15. So I get it why u wouldn't peep and I would

 

[DontEemTry]

I'm kinda surprised people hear Snoop in Da Brat...all I hear is Kurupt

 

[Big Boss]

Classic

 

[Reality Check]

Snoop wrote for Kriss Koss 2nd album called the bomb then something happened.

Yep, there was a track called "3, 2, 1" that was supposed to be on there with Snoop. No idea what happened behind the scenes, but it led to them dissing JD and Da Brat in the WWYD video.

The track has been out there in poor quality up until a B1 release a couple years ago.
