[Goldie]

vs

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Both limited beats

Uhhh idk it’s a tie for me

 

[Lou Cypher]

Hard choice. I picked xxplosive because when I was a little kid, I remember the deep cover beat used to creep me out. Sounded like something out of a horror movie lol.

Erykah Badu used the same sample as XXplosive and her version was mixed down better.






I'm going with Deep Cover

Edit. In fact, XXplosive sounds horrible compared to Erykah Badu's version.

No way. xXplosive is the best song on the album. Nate Dogg murdered it. So did Kurupt. This song is a damn classic. One of my favorite songs of all time when it comes to smoke and drink.

All my real dogs still kick it with me
All my down hoes still tricking with me
All the true gangsters know
Nate ain't never love no ho
All the hood rats still shake it for me
All my true fans still checking for me
All the real smokers know
Nate ain't passing nothing' but dro indeed
Real trees, chronic leaves, no seeds
When I met you last night, baby
Before I blew your mind (Blew, blew, blew your mind)
I thought we had a chance, lady
No more, now that I'm sober, you ain't that fine (Hmm)
Don't wanna treat you wrong
Don't wanna lead you on
Here, baby, hit the bong
While the West Coast rolls along
While we still making gangster hits
You'll be still jocking gangster dicks
Damn, girl, you think you're slick?
Somebody better get this bitch, this bitch

Yeah I liked Xxplosive, til I heard Erykah Badu's version.


I feel the same way about Juicy. I liked it at the time, but when I listen to Juicy now it sounds awful.

Yikes

naaaaah man, you can't talk about mixing and sound quality when this is 2001. that album has literally been used by producers and engineers as THE reference album for 20+ years.
