Was Dr. Dre really expecting Knocturnal to blow up off this song?

[SoulController]

The whole Knoc, Hittman and Mel-Man never really doing anything beyond "2001" and a few leaks is mad disappointing. Dre had himself a real fukking talent pool back then and we got little to nothing from it

Six-Two and Ms. Roc also, it was pretty weird that every single new artist on that album was never heard from again. or damn near

Yeah Six Two was dope, too bad D.O.C. fukked up his career. Shelved by Timbo and Dre, you gotta feel for him.

http://six2.bandcamp.com/track/weed-snortin always loved this track.

The Beat Sounded Like A Chronic 2001 Reject, Dunno Where Ya'll Getting These Other Weird Comparisons lol

thats cuz dre used them for his comeback abd stole sll the credit and limelight

pushed them out the way so the wouldnt outshine him

then he did it to focus and hitek

 

[Tommy Knocks]

this takes me back to 2004

thats crazy. brought back memories. I actually bought the album because of this single. this was true early 00s westcoast sound.

First of all you know what an SSL is so that's a major dap for you - For everyone else that's a top of the line mixing board that runs into the multiple hundred's of thousands of dollars. Him doing that probably led to the label having to pay out to the studio


Second . . HE DID THAT?

that story to my knowledge is true i have asked about 2 people about it and something of that nature definitely happened SSL or not.

lol @ Ms. Roq being new, but I hear ya.

 

[HipHopStan]

I mean Knoc had bars but this beat

I always felt that video was underappreciated. One continuous shot through out the entire thing. That's some Martin Scorsese shyt right there.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

THE BEAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING EM WOULD SPIT ON.

I was just thinking this. Eminem would of murdered this beat something serious.

 

[The War Report]

I mean Knoc had bars but this beat

The beat, video, and song was dope.

 

[SoulController]

lol @ Ms. Roq being new, but I hear ya.

kinda sounds like a thugged out Queen on these, which i guess is essentially Boss

 

[Da King]

dre also expected that dusty Rakim nicca to blow up off of a Truth Hurts record

How you going to blow yo without ever putting out a track?

 

[Techniec]

Knoc was a huge waste of talent and a squandered opportunity just like hit man

Bad intentions and straight west coast were great great records

Knoc was shyt, missy was garbage. That single, alcoholism and an album leak ruined his career

 

[Techniec]

The video was dope though
