I just heard about it. Their first album was really a good project and "summertime in the lbc " was a hit on rap city daily back then. I don't know why rappers are dying so young in their 40s and early 50s
It has the We Funk remix on it and the sequel to it as well. The album is a bit of a mess in that theres tracklisting errors, wrongly titled songs and the sequencing is odd. It was an import only Japanese release by a company that would basically put out unlicensed material and shelved albums, but on the low they were generally working in cooperation with the artists or producers of the actual material. So like for instance here its a lot of material that was owned by Def Jam, some stuff that sample wise was never gonna get cleared and some songs that were heavily bootlegged which probably played into def Jam shelving them along with other label politics and merger bullshyt etc. The music itself is great, classic 90s G-Funk but it is more like a compilation than a proper album.
"We Funk The G-Funk Remix"
"We Bump Remix" this originally leaked as "So Tight" and was intended to be one of the singles for their sophomore Def Jam album.
Theres a trimmed version of "Lowrider" on the album labelled "Low Low" which is pretty close to the OG/Demo version and theres an alternate version with a different beat and Goldie Loc on it but for some reason they (Dolphin Record Label) titled it " fukk You bytches"
"Dove Shack Is Bacc" f/ Nate Dogg was supposed to be a single for the Def Jam album as well and personally I think would have helped usher in the second era of G-Funk if Def Jam didn't drop the ball. For whatever reason its titled "Sorry We Keep Ya" on this album.
"What You See" which also leaked under the names "Hold On" & "Everyday Is A Struggle" was also intended as a single and theres a shortened radio version of it as well, I guess they were never gonna get that Tracy Chapman "Fast Car" sample/interpolation cleared but I honestly think this track would have allowed Dove Shack to cross over to a different audience and probably woulda been an international hit the way something like Coolio's "C U When U Get There" did. Easily this joint coulda been the theme song for whatever patronizing, pandering "White teacher shows students in the ghetto to believe in themselves" type movies of that era.
You could actually buy it in 2000 as an import. There's a later version only on vinyl with a different tracklist and sequence as well.
Are you talking about a "project" called "We Funk The G-Funk"?This must be some fan made shyt I have then
The unreleased remix for "Summertime" is so dope, Def Jam really just said fukkem to most of their west coast acts unfortunately.
Diabetes and heart related illness is really doing a number on our hip hop elder statesmen, well, people in general.
Yeah, there's a 10 track "album" I have in my collection. I haven't listened to it in 5 years or so though
LOL Thats funny, I totally forgot about that, thats a compilation I put together years ago
