Well to be...@rclosure Thank you for the kind words. Well to be clear, the song on the album is mines, but it's a remix from the original that Rob did.<br /><br />There's no east coast west coast when it comes to this. It's music, ya dig?<br /><br />Most times when you see good producers or singers disappear, it's usually something contractual. With Torcha Chamba, we got blackballed by Ice Cube because we wouldn't let him have 100% of our writer's and publishing. There were some other things, such as members thinking they'd get treated differently if they were on their own and BS like that.<br /><br />So I had to go solo. That's when I did some work for Eazy E [RIP](1st single of his last album). <br /><br />But again, thank you for your kind words. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-89038355873754479492011-12-31T03:29:33.967+01:002011-12-31T03:29:33.967+01:00i got this a couple of days ago at my local record...i got this a couple of days ago at my local record store.Red's Hip Hop Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788814168944522626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-69368589750254474202011-12-03T00:40:45.918+01:002011-12-03T00:40:45.918+01:00that jazzy jay track was dope! i used to love it a...that jazzy jay track was dope! i used to love it and i didnt even know who russell simmons was. seriously a classic.asadULTRAwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693257103781951228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-53285252615662782512011-10-03T08:49:40.249+02:002011-10-03T08:49:40.249+02:00Wow.

And a die-hard hardcore/west coast '90's hip-hop rap fan. @Angelo, Wow cuz, I had no idea that Robert Jones originally produced that track. I always thought it was you: Torcha Chamba. You're a damn good producer, bro, and that does sound like your work. Robert Jones too is a damn good producer, and wish we (die-hard West coast hip-hop fans) coulda heard more from that brotha, and The Torcha Chamba. Just know y'all fo'eva got fans like me! Even though I'm out the midwest, I've always love West coast G-shit!rclosurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023140015635859084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-32447559828838928542011-05-05T11:38:24.301+02:002011-05-05T11:38:24.301+02:00This is Angelo "Stone tha Lunatic" Trott...This is Angelo "Stone tha Lunatic" Trotter.<br /><br />This is to set the record straight. The post by Noris is correct. But only in so far as he is the original songwriter for Drive-by. <br /><br />However, contrary to Robs opinion that "everyone jumped on the credits and got paid," that's simply not true (as far as it relates to me). <br /><br />Def Jam approached me to do the remix for the album because unfortunately Rob had an unintended stint in the grey bar hotel and was unable to complete the final recording and mix.<br /><br />As far a "pay" goes, all I received was my fee for the song, and that was it. I've seen no royalties ever from that song or album.<br /><br />As for everyone else, I can't say whether they got paid or not, I have no idea on that. I would suspect that they haven't. Boss's project was way over budget, and way overdue. Boss and Dee were a handful back in those times and it was hard finding tracks that they liked, not to mention all of the producers Def Jam were trying to stick her with. <br /><br />Instead of having a main producer to work with them and manage the project to give it a direction, (like Noris was doing with them) Def Jam were looking for "names" to sell the album instead of their talent.<br /><br />The ladies were tight and were able to pull off a gold album despite the delays and problems. They probably would have sold much more if Def Jam would have made sure she was released while the buzz for them was peaked. They were the tightest female gangster lyricists ever at that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-25998049019729543922011-05-05T11:27:17.605+02:002011-05-05T11:27:17.605+02:00This is Angelo "Stone tha Lunatic" Trott...This is Angelo "Stone tha Lunatic" Trotter.<br /><br />To set the record straight. The song on the album is actually a remix. I was hired by Def Jam because the original songwriter Noris "ROBLOW" Jones was unable to complete the song unfortunately due to incarceration.<br /><br />Let me set Rob straight to that "everybody and their mother" didn't "jump on the credits" and get paid for it.<br /><br />I was approached by Def Jam specifically to do a "remix." They were in control of the credits (my musicians didn't even get the credit they were supposed to).<br /><br />And besides my initial fee for the remix, that's all I got paid. I haven't seen one dime off of Boss's Album. <br /><br />As for everybody else, I don't know what was going on besides Boss's project being way over budget, and rushed to completion.<br /><br />So again, for the record, Rob "ROBLOW" Jones was the original songwriter for Drive-by. Let me also say that Rob stuck with Boss and Dee through thick and thin and never got the credit he deserved.<br /><br />But hey, what else is new in the music industry?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-42663634190447811542010-06-29T20:35:35.506+02:002010-06-29T20:35:35.506+02:00According to wikipedia, jesse west aka third eye c...According to wikipedia, jesse west aka third eye contributed 3 tracks to the hit Krs-One / Greenie "It's All Good" CD earlier this year..

While the logo has often been attributed to Haze I was surprised he wouldn't have it on his own website, while he has the very similar Rush logo (same font, same bars). The Run DMC logo has been used in many form, with different fonts and bars of different width. May be Haze only refined an idea already existing.<br />About the PE logo, Chuck did the target himself, but I would guess that Haze chose the military font that they still use to this daySLurghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717067412859162909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10192966.post-10998550182746693542009-06-03T22:28:57.797+02:002009-06-03T22:28:57.797+02:00Big props for the Grand and Encore demos!
