Gang politics is very important, you gotta be careful and not get dragged down by it. Doesn’t seem like warren fuked with suge but quik did due to blood gang ties
Snoop Dogg was a crip on Death Row Records. Suge Knight from Compton, not Long Beach.
Warren G and Nate Dogg were at least crip-affiliated. Dr. Dre from Compton.
The song I posted proof those gang politics weren't as important by '03.
Everybody had enough time in the game to do something for the region and they didn't.
Gang politics was important that cross colors could rep Death Row Records but the region they repped suffered as far as hip-hop is concerned?



Been all over SC growin' up, anybody that did time know somebody from a rival set they on good terms with.
A similar argument can be made about the East Coast, we let infightin' get serious about some superficial shyt get so much in the way that the culture we created, know and love suffered.
Dre and Snoop be on some funny style shyt. Warren laid the whole foundation for Death Row with the artists he brought to them. Not to mention some of the uncredited beats he did. They owe him, even though he’s not asking for anything. The only reason Warren didn’t blow up to the level he should have is because he never had a machine totally behind him. I know his debut went multi platinum, but it was on a NY label that was never fully behind him.
Warren G could have used that to get on as an A&R and became an exec on the West Coast even if he ran an indie. Woulda been dope to see him be a part of TDE.
