“what are the origins of that?”
No idea I’m afraid. I guess when they shared a house they recorded it as a demo maybe.

I remember that Death Row rumour. The best one was K-Solo signing with Suge, which wuld have made no sense whatsoever unless The Row were moving into boxing.

Done. I’ve added it to the main post.

“Convicts album was ignorant but it was dope”

My point exactly. As far as I ‘m concerned:

ignorant = dope

The Terrorists were pretty shitty, although “Blem Dem Hoes Up” is a great name for a song.

Convicts album was ignorant but it was dope. most of the other Rap-A-Lot shit that came out around the same time (gangsta nip, terroists, prince johnny c,) wasnt up to par with Convicts.

Oh shit, this Snoop/Convicts song is ill.

The slightly slowed-down “scorpio” sampleis killin’ it for me.

That Snoop track is nice, thanks for throwing that one up.

Not sure what “The Peterman” is up to these days.

Here is the Snoop and the Convicts song I was talking about earlier. It’s called Playing For Keeps.

Anyone know what ever happened to Big Mike?

I’d love to hear that track. Big Mike and Snoop used to live together back in the days. Snoop shouts him out when he said “Smoke ‘em and choke ‘em like the motherfuckin’ Peterman”.

I don’t know if it is on this album, but they also had a song with Snoop from around the same time period. It sounds like it might have been recorded before Snoop hooked up with Dre, but it is kinda tight.

my man benny asked once asked me if i “wanted to hear one of the most ignorant hip-hop songs ever made.” he proceeded to play ‘illegal aliens’ for me and i was hooked. early rap-a-lot is most definitely slept on.
