RE: JT presents Nas & The Game

OK, now I get the feeling most of you guys thought this sucked. Well thats cool cause it was some bootleg ass shit IMHO.
But thats not my point.

What had me trippin was I picked up 2 East Coast mixtapes by DJ Whoo Kid - Bulletproof & Smokin Day Pt. II and THE GAME has freestyles on both of em and I was like "what the fuckkk??"
Apparently dude signed to Aftermath after he did his deal with JT...

anyways, interesting shit...
JT shoulda just released The Game's solo album instead of making it some bootleg ass shit...

I thought the game shit was sick. And when I heard he got signed by aftermath i was happy for him. Since he got talent. I had this cd a long time ago. It came out before the lost tapes so it was all good for me.

This is what I understand:
The Game worked with J.T. but stopped because he went to sign with Aftermath. J.T. was left with a few of his tracks and decided he'd mix them in with some Nas songs in order for the album to sell. Am I right or completely off?

unregistered - i was there at the time so this is how the album got put together:

jt signed the game to a one record recording deal rather than a long term contract (lucky for game i guess)

he then introduced game to sean t who produced the game half of the album and most/all of game's songs

the game is from compton, so afterwards he went home. peeps recognized his talent and started puttin him on in la, and somewhere after that he got picked up by Aftermath

jt certainly had enough songs to make a whole game album, theres a bunch that you all never heard b/c they were left off the album, or any subsequent ones (maybe jt is holding onto them for a later date n time in case the game goes major? who knows)

jt's story behind the nas songs is that he bought them off of nas for some g'z on some d/l agreement type shit to put them out on the underground. whether or not that is true is a mystery to me, though i have never seen any proof to prove that assertion...
one thing i do know is that brandon & bayside agreed to release the album, with the fresh shemp remixed nas & the game cover, but it's apparently nixed for obvious reasons.

again, why jt decided to mix these songs together baffles me. maybe he thought it'd sell. i dunno. jt knew these songs were leaked already, shit i had the whole nas bootleg back in like 2000, so that shit was old hat when he tried to played that shit for me for the first time... i was like dude, anybody who cares already has this shit... but bosses do what bosses do

anyways, personally, jt taught me a load of shit i'd never know if i hadn't fucked with him and i'm grateful for that. on the other hand, i really don't understand that cat, like why he does shit, and if you ever got to know him personally you'd probably understand what i mean. but respect is due where respect is due and jt is definitely a boss...


any more questions?

Crush--you asked "any more questions?" I got several:

1). You say that the Bayside release of QB 2 COMPTON (with the Shemp cover) "got nixed." Do you mean it came out, but got taken off the market later (or did the "Shemp cover" version never get released, period)?

2). On Bayside's webpage last October, in their "new releases" section, there was a photo for a D-Moe CD called simply "Solo Album." Did that ever actually come out? It's a different cover than his new "Ghost Writer." (or are "Solo Album" and "Ghost Writer" one and the same)? Just curious...PEACE!

damn thugs only - where you get that at cuz i've never seen that shit EVER, hell I thought they just cancelled the project due to the material already being released and all

then again i'm not surprised i havent seen it. having spoken with many a buyer at stores, it's obvious that the sheer quantity of jt's releases hurts him in that they often don't want to stock EVERYTHING. furthermore, you just confuse the shit out of your customers by having too much product on the shelves (half of which in my opinion is crapola). one time, this dude at amoeba the dude at amoeba was like "we have his shit out the ass and we'll give you a dollar per get low cd" lol.

sav-man - pretty sure the solo album and ghost writer are the same. if it didn't sound like a half assed album, production wise or other, it's because d-moe pays for his own recording time, pressing and all that shit. the cover "errors" are fuckin hilarious though, fuckin shiesty ass fillmonians

on get low, theres about 60 abums ever, but i keep finding new cutty shit like Beware of Those 2 (by the way, that shit looked wack as fuck). On Black Wall Street theres been like 20 I think, give or take, including some rereleases though (like 4tay's catalogue).

The origin of Gamblaz/Yukmouth - Block Shit as told by JT to C&H -
Basically JT got Yuk to get into the studio on the premise that he was making a soundtrack and that Tha Gamblaz would hold down half of it and Yuk would hold down his part. He said he would just break Yuk out some G'z (or a G? can't quite remember) each time he recorded a verse and they just stayed in the studio for a couple of days like that, cuz yuk was on that get money shit and lost sight of the long run picture i guess. nayways, jt sad he got that album done for like 10Gz, which is fuckin cheap to have a yuk album. the reason yuk was pissed about it was b/c jt used his picture on the cover and he had told jt not to b/c he was under teh impression that it was a comp.

c&h is definitely an interesting cat, and shit i soaked up hella game chillin in the car that day. wish i wasn't blunted out of my mind tho...

as to how much money jt made - thats not any of your business really, and i'm not going to answer that, except to say that he pays his bills just fine. personally i think he just likes driving auction buckets for whatever strange reason.

Thugs Only - How can I get my hands on some of those Wax Fase CDz if I need em? I got a pretty good relationship with some stores and I'm sure they'd take em,

Crush--

About the D-Moe CD--I figured that the two were the same. Also, you're right that it doesn't sound half-assed. I've listened to cuts on www.northern-ridaz.com and was pleasantly surprised, so D-Moe must have put in the sweatwork himself.

I really haven't had much of a problem with the "solo" Get Low CDs--IMHO, JT's HUSTLE RELENTLESS, JT & The Gamblaz' KNOW ABOUT IT and Authentic's solo were all dope and well performed. Telly Mac's BUSINESS IS BUSINESS and Seff's LEATHAL WEAPON could have been better produced, but they both had some knockers as well. If THOSE five had been the ONLY CDs Get Low put out last year (and if they didn't put out all the compilations and "outside collabs"), their image would look way better than it does, IMHO. Like you said, oversaturation can hurt you (look at No Limit). Just my opinion, though. What did you think?

I don't recall--are you still "officially" working with JT/Get Low, and if so, does he have any future CD projects coming out that you know of? PEACE!
