It wasn’t really Dre’s fault cause I bet there’s a lot of unreleased songs that he’s done on Death Row and Aftermath, I hate when people say that Dre is slow, no he’s not, he got songs done but just won’t release them. Plus I read that Rage wouldn’t like some beats and shit so it wasn’t Dre’s fault. I read Rage didn’t want to rap on Afro Puffs cause the beat was too west coast; but Dre told her to stop complaining and get on it, Suge, Dre they loved it, Rage got mad that they released the song because she thought it was gonna ruin her career; but it became a hit. So it’s not Dre’s fault, that Rage was too picky with the beats instead of trusting Dre and just going along with it.
Exactly I've always said if Death Row would of released Rages album after Afro Puffs, it would of went platinum with help from Snoop n Dre who were on fire

Every same mind knows that hip-hop world before & after West coast Vs East coast rivalry has never been the same ... that has caused abysmal damage to the psyche of the communities.
I don’t know why people think the Deathrow/bad boy beef started when PAC got there. It started in Atlanta when Suges friend was shot outside OG Vees club. Deathrow music was built on beef. The chronic went at ruthless, Tim Dog, Uncle Luke, as well as others, tha dogg pound was dissing Bone Thugs, Biggie had their trailer shot up with the radio interview. PAC being mad at Biggie and puffy for his New York shooting was just the extra gasoline that Deathrow needed.
Danny Boy tells the truth and said everyone was jealous of Tupac. Tupac Recorded All Eyes On Me, a double CD in a week. Who on Death Row could compete with that?
I love and respect how much of a leader and individual she was. I remember her saying Pac wanted her to diss Kim and she wasn't with it because she had no issue with her. Sis wasn't a yes woman at all, she stood on her shit. It's dope.that Suge respected it and told her don't worry about it.
Love that track. Always thought DJ Quik "ghost produced" some of that beat as well, although he's just listed as the song's mixer. Quik's instrumentation and finger prints are all over that song
Skandalouz has been my reference track for my mixes for like 20 years. You can search the original version which gives a lot of insights on the production. The final song is sonically amazing. West coast absolute classic.
Check Out Time is one of my favorites of All Eyez on Me, and that House of Blues concert by Death Row was dope. I would’ve loved to see a Death Row Tour.
Thursday, 22 December, 2022: Folks keep in mind I'm fifty years old. Rage "Afropuffs" came out when I was only 22yrs. old. . . As far as hip-hop is concerned that's an "eternity" ago, whew'. Very, very few people had cell phones, almost nobody had even heard of a "website" or had any type of computer whatsoever. Heck, even "beepers" weren't even popular at all back then. Gas was less than a dollar/gal. There was ZERO streaming anything, nothing. Everything was still analog NOT digital yet. There was NO PLAYSTATION or Xbox, it was still a Nintendo world with "game cartridges". Remember MP3's and Limewire, that wasn't even close to being out yet. For my slightly younger generation you have to keep in mind that putting out an entire album back then was TOTALLY dependent on your record company unlike today. I just wish some of the older artists being interviewed would shed a little more light about being an artist in the "analog era" versus today...
You’re confused bro 😂😂😂Websites were about in 97’ and most people knew what they were, though most people weren’t very computer literate (myself included) at that time… also PlayStation was around since 94!!💯✌🏾
@@bezzyranx9839 were you from because playstation probably wasout but not in the US because we would of heard about it or been playing it back then we was playing super entendo or sega genesis we didnt start playing playstation until 97 i think i was in highschool at that time but far as websites and computersin the early mid 90s we didnt trip off that shit we was doing other shit back then
Rage hurt her own career. If Dre signed her before he signed Snoop and Snoop had a album before her says a lot. She was a good rapper but she was just too slow in the studio. Can’t blame that on the beef. She should’ve dropped a album no later than 1994
Exactly. Furthermore why hasn't Rage been on any other label after Death Row? Or why didn't Dre sign her to Aftermath? Rage may have been her own downfall not necessarily equated to Pac being there!
Rage should've used her time wisely but she didnt. She is a dope rapper! Pac did AEOM in less than 2 weeks, did Makaveli album in a few days, all while doing movies, working on One Nation album and have hundreds of unreleased songs in the vault. All in less than 1 year in Death Row.
I love that he brought up the check out time song . I was only 1 when pac died but growing up my dad would play check out time all the time . Till this day it’s still in my playlist
They knew a younger, version of pac before he morphed into DR pac makaveli which was a totally different machine. Crazy how fast he would advance from I get around pac to full blown don status on the west coast
@@theetruth8626 streetz is a mutherf.. alone I call shots, who ride with us, girls all pause, ho a housewife those are just a few on the whole album that was great. The whole space boogie almum on on-site, space boogie,. Kuruption WE can freak it. You are TRIppin. The list goes on and on. You must of just not listed to his albums period
Same. People, well some people on the internet at least, diss songs like that on Book 2, but I never understood that. Songs like Check Out Time and Run the Streetz are dope asf to me. 2Pac made records for all emotions, not just strictly hardcore sh##. Kurupt did his thing on there, but I always thought Big Syke stole the show with his verse. "If walls could talk, they would say you tried to fade me" lol.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un man the hell with them I like disc 2 better just my opinion!!!! "Picture me Rollin" "call ya bytch" and "All eyes on me" are my favorite songs on that album to be honest and that's all disc 2 😎😎
Rages main problem was she took too damn long to complete songs and her album. She was the best female MC of her time but took way too long to deliver. Kurupt says she took her time and should have been the biggest but doesn’t straight up say had she deleivered her Album before dog food or right after that she would have blown up.
Makes sense my pac took rage's studio time away. Time is money and it's taking rage weeks to do one song and Pac can spit a whole album in a one session

Lady Of Rage is from Virginia. That’s the East and they love Big and have a large NY influence in VA. She didn’t have the same gang affiliations and California love that the rest of the label had.
Lol wasn't no ny influence in va at that time. I'm from MD and after NJ no body give af about ny...we all do our own thing in the DMV area. As a matter of fact pac was behind pac because he used to live there. MD, DC, VA especially is considered country to NY and they don't respect it as far as culture and we don't really rock with NY in that area either.
@@Cslicksmusic91 it’s not either or lol it can be a multitude of reasons. Being from where she’s from is a large reason for her decisions lol i said nothing wrong
When afro puffs came out, it was charting. They should of ran with the vibe and had an album ready because she could of been iconic like Lil kim, minus the xrated ish. Lol
Rage worked slow in the studio and the priorities of Death Row changed once Tupac got out of jail. Once Pac was on Death Row he became the #1 priority. Obviously Tupac was known for pumping out songs in the studio at an incredible pace.
It's her fault ,came blame Tom and Jerry who ever else the woman was slow Afro was a banger, she talking about she didn't like the song whatever ,she will always be known as a dope artist never blew up
I think one thing that hurt lady of rage was she wasn’t sexy or really good looking but she definitely deserved more of a push because she was one of the best lyricists on death row she had great bars on the songs she was on
Rage have nice features never ugly ,but she was consider a big girl ,it was hard for her to complete with other girls like Lil Kim, foxy brown , who were talking about Sex ,wearing sexy clothes ,it shouldn't have matter it should be based on talent , but she did have a hard time , because things have changed , other ladies was promoted Sex in their music and their looks did help them sell alot of records
when she came out it wasnt about looks, you latifah before her, lyte wasnt look at as sexy da brat neither, then you can add the lesser artists like heather b, yo-yo, suga-t.
Hes not lying. Shit was moving fast. 2pac had two different eras of music in a short span of 1.5 years or so with death row. Crazy. All of them were on completely different shit in 94 vs 95 vs 96. They didnt have an extended period time where you can say "during these years they generally made this type of music. During this other time it was switched up and more like this..." those mindstates literally only lasted weeks or months til they moved to something else. They were moving too fast.
Her album should have dropped immediately shortly after Afro Puffs from the Above The Rim soundtrack. Her album Necessary Roughness on Death Row didn't come out until June 1997....Death Row was losing it's hot streak by then.
Dre was only consistent with dropping albums when he his funds were low, the chronic and Doggystyle came out consistently. Then after that, rage was taking forever to finish her album and Dre was taking forever to drop again due to a dispute with Suge and the atmosphere at the studio at deathrow , I also highly doubt that rage would have been able to drop anything on aftermath either because once Dre started eating really good off of em and 50 and apple, Dre keep procrastinating on a lot of the artists albums and they never got released including Dre's own album Detox.
Bruh that's false Dre was doing his own album which was the original album with California love but all the b.s on death row and the gang banging was a game changer. Dre only like his special type of artists to work with so u completely false because after M and 50 Dre did a album with Rakin called O my God but that ended up in court then he did the album with Busta Rhymes. So y'all really need to stop throwing salt on this man name because he got his they always said nigg*z get mad at anyone who has 5 dollars more then them
Anyone around Tupac at that time -- who had any drive -- was hopping on a record. He grabbed producers from the whack room, he grabbed the lady from the front desk, any rapper writing in a session wasn’t getting a shot. She definitely missed an opportunity there
True. Pac has songs with Death Row b and c-level artists like Danny Boy, CPO Boss Hogg, OFTB and even Hammer lol. Tgat Death Row vault has been emptied of alotta music over the years. Rage is notably absent tho. I wonder was she even around much at all at Can-Am studios in those years. If she was, she obviously wasn't putting in work.
Bruh what's the realest the most dumbest the most childish bruh u gotta understand what y'all saying Snoop just beat a murder case Dre left because of too much b.s
Great breakdown big dawg... LOR was the Mia X of the West and would've been even bigger star if her album was delayed. She still was able to become a legacy artist in spite of the inner turmoil which many don't get to do!
@Thee Truth i never said she wasnt equal in ability. Im talking about popularity and national recognition from people that arent necessarily into the rap genre.
@@88cutty Mia X impact was as strong as Rage in 97 and 98 Rage only was relevant in 94 and 95 after that she was out promotion had nothing to do with it she wasn't a great artist she just had a great song
Why do you keep saying that The Lady of Rage album never came out? It was released in ‘97…on Death Row. «Necessary Roughness». Pac is on it and Daz produced something, I think.
Because it was forgettable. Nobody really bought, played or remembers that album. Plus Death Row was pretty much a wrap by the time it dropped. Aside from Daz, all the original Chronic/Doggystyle artists had already left the label. 2Pac was dead, and Suge was locked up.
Lady of rage was working on her album the same speed as dr Dre was working on songs!! Tupac came and made the whole camp work harder! He needed beats after beats! When Dre was gone Tupac had Daz and Johnny J
2Pac was a prolific writer, and song-maker. Knocked out that Makaveli album in 7 days with the "wack room" producers at Death Row, who none of the artists there ever used. Pac was a man on a mission. Rage just wasn't hungry enough, and that's why she missed her shot. Rage should've been nagging Dre, Quik, Sam Sneed, Dj Pooh, Daz & Soopafly for beats all day everyday. That's too much producer heat for you to be sitting around working on an album for 2 years. Death Row had the best in-house producers in the game.
That sucks Lady of Rage's rap career did not take off. That's cool that she and some of the other artists of Death Row were not down with the Tupac/Biggie and Bad Boy/Death Row feud because it should have never happened.
Bruh u gotta be able to create music to have a rap career no beef stop her career she just wasn't cut out for making music what she done after death row exactly
@@lmiko deathrow brought itself down by beefing with everyone they could from the early 90's waaaaay before tupac. You better go watch uncle Luke interviews lmfao.
@@lmiko yeah right lmao. Shit happened at deathrow before and after pac lmfao. Deathrow had a hood/gang banger atmosphere. That's why Dr dre left. If it was all so good why did snoop leave afterwards? They didn't run deathrow like a record label and it cost them. It's just convenient for everyone to put it at pac feet now lol
Damn...I remember buying Rage's project when it first came out...I played it once and never listened to it again...just listened to it again after this interview and this sh*t is nice...
But that’s his character. Tray Dee shot at him and he didn’t turn Tray dee in, they still work together till date. I guess since nobody died, He looked passed it. It’s his character.
@@TosereOjemeCharacter my @$$. That’s the sign of a scaredy cat. Look at how spooked he was on that interview with Tupac in New York. People say he was high😂 please! You could see the fear in his eyes.
@@FBA_259 Yeah Snoop is really a coward as far as this California gang culture goes. But because of his stardom and influence he gets a pass. But those who are actually from the neighborhood and/or surrounding neighborhoods knows the truth. His situation is no different than Suge. Money and fame payed their way to be “gangster”
Art, you did a historic interview with the First Lady of Death Row, Jewell!!!!! Kurupt was incorrect! She was also on the Deep Cover Soundtrack along with Dr. Dre (introducing) Snoop Dogg! I think her song was Love or Lust. Before that she was on NWA ,”EFIL4ZAGGIN”. Warren G was also on the album. 😊
Bottom line anyone from my era which was Tupac and Biggie era know that Tupac was trouble bottom line! Why do anyone from my era keep up with this Tupac theory to the younger generation. Tell the truth Tupac changed his whole style up and got extra once he joined Deathrow
East coast is Rage fan based. It was best no to involve herself in the beef. Nothing good came out that anyway. She was popular on sitcoms and other deathrow hits. She didnt even diss ruthless if Im correct. She just focus on her lyrical skills
Not sticking with Pac and losing in the end actually served her right!!! What did her smile at Pig at those Source Awards earn her??? It is snakes like those that everyone should avoid in their lives!!! Had she stuck with Death Row (YES I SAID DR NOT JUST PAC) she knows today that fan base would have boosted the sales of her album. Despite it coming out in ‘98 and Suge in jail, Death Row fans were still pushing the sales on there. Her album couldn’t even make gold. It served her right!!! And by the way LET THIS BE CLEAR: When Tupac joined Death Row, the beef between Suge and Puffy was already on!!! Big Jake had already been killed in Atlanta. So she was actually betraying Death Row with her actions not just Pac. I’m happy she ended up nowhere!!!! To hell with her!!!! She must know that Tupac people actually hate her!!!
@@Orllandopaste who said anything about crying? So according to you, giving a view that speaks directly to the title of LoR hurting her career on her position on the beef is equal to crying? You should have just scrolled past than saying something that stupid!
@@Orllandopaste did you even read what you wrote before posting it? I did no RESPECT LoR, I DISRESPECTED HER like I did at Can Am and always will!!! Trust me Im one of those that don’t give a F*^C$ about you pulling up, because you can and will only do that here on the internet. Other than that it will be the last pull up you ever do!!!!
Pac was a cringe wannabe gangster who just came with alot of negativity. Eventually it caught up with him when he messed with a reeeeal gangster who saw through all the fake gangster persona.
I don’t really understand this narrative Here’s a question for you How many rappers you know back then bust their gun when getting robbed? How many rappers beefed with REAL gangsters back then?? How many rappers caught a case and didn’t snitch back in the days…. I’ll wait …….

When you have almost two years of free time on your hands, it's alot easier to write.
When the best producers made beats for selves and give u there best and mc's do there feature first. May be a lil easier. No dis to pac
@@rcole718 if you're saying Tupac was locked up 2 years, you have no idea what you are talking. Tupac probably wasn't locked up a whole year.
@@seanheffron8444 if you are talking about Dre, Dre probably produced 2 songs for Tupac.
@@Gunsmoke-dd1ym Dre gave him California Love. Daz is no slouch to making beats!
I love and respect how much of a leader and individual she was. I remember her saying Pac wanted her to diss Kim and she wasn't with it because she had no issue with her. Sis wasn't a yes woman at all, she stood on her shit. It's dope.that Suge respected it and told her don't worry about it.
Suge ain't have no choice to respect Lady of rage or her baby daddy Buntry going smack his ass again.
That's what her career is in the toilet

all 3 are in my top 10 favorite female rappers
Suga t couldn't rap Rage struggle to even create material
Specially Marvelous
Must be from Cali
Scandalous is one of favorite Pac songs. And that beat was sick salute to Daz he did that.
Love that track. Always thought DJ Quik "ghost produced" some of that beat as well, although he's just listed as the song's mixer. Quik's instrumentation and finger prints are all over that song
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un Quik said in a now deleted interview from years ago that he helped Daz make that exact beat
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un quik done heartz of men
Just like the RZA, he’s good at arranging some good trax. I gotta give it up towards dat fact😮
Skandalouz has been my reference track for my mixes for like 20 years. You can search the original version which gives a lot of insights on the production. The final song is sonically amazing. West coast absolute classic.
Check Out Time is one of my favorites of All Eyez on Me, and that House of Blues concert by Death Row was dope. I would’ve loved to see a Death Row Tour.
Thursday, 22 December, 2022: Folks keep in mind I'm fifty years old. Rage "Afropuffs" came out when I was only 22yrs. old. . . As far as hip-hop is concerned that's an "eternity" ago, whew'. Very, very few people had cell phones, almost nobody had even heard of a "website" or had any type of computer whatsoever. Heck, even "beepers" weren't even popular at all back then. Gas was less than a dollar/gal. There was ZERO streaming anything, nothing. Everything was still analog NOT digital yet. There was NO PLAYSTATION or Xbox, it was still a Nintendo world with "game cartridges". Remember MP3's and Limewire, that wasn't even close to being out yet. For my slightly younger generation you have to keep in mind that putting out an entire album back then was TOTALLY dependent on your record company unlike today. I just wish some of the older artists being interviewed would shed a little more light about being an artist in the "analog era" versus today...
I remember i was in middle school at that time times was way different but alot better
It was quality music tho , u could listen to whole albums , now it’s all one hit wonders , and no songs u can remember or want to 🤦♂️
You’re confused bro 😂😂😂Websites were about in 97’ and most people knew what they were, though most people weren’t very computer literate (myself included) at that time… also PlayStation was around since 94!!💯✌🏾
@@bezzyranx9839 people with money probably were steps ahead
@@bezzyranx9839 were you from because playstation probably wasout but not in the US because we would of heard about it or been playing it back then we was playing super entendo or sega genesis we didnt start playing playstation until 97 i think i was in highschool at that time but far as websites and computersin the early mid 90s we didnt trip off that shit we was doing other shit back then
I think by her going at her own pace is what killed her not really the beef
She didnt like g funk apparently.
@@L1am21 so why go to a label that's known for its G funk sound?? She has no one to blame but herself
@@Aj-me8mo well kurupt said shes 1st artist dre signed so wasnt know for just funk back in nwa.
Rage hurt her own career. If Dre signed her before he signed Snoop and Snoop had a album before her says a lot. She was a good rapper but she was just too slow in the studio. Can’t blame that on the beef. She should’ve dropped a album no later than 1994
She didnt like g funk she was at the wrong place should of stayed with chub rock.
@@L1am21 makes no sense. All her legendary verses on The Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food and Above the Rim are over g-funk production.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un apprantly she liked boom bap rap and hated afro puffs
Exactly. Furthermore why hasn't Rage been on any other label after Death Row? Or why didn't Dre sign her to Aftermath?
Rage may have been her own downfall not necessarily equated to Pac being there!
I think I recall either Daz or Kurupt saying in a interview that she was slow.
Very interesting I wasn’t aware she was the first one signed even before SNOOP WOW!
Rage should've used her time wisely but she didnt. She is a dope rapper! Pac did AEOM in less than 2 weeks, did Makaveli album in a few days, all while doing movies, working on One Nation album and have hundreds of unreleased songs in the vault. All in less than 1 year in Death Row.
You don't know the rules of the music industry, she could have dropped many albums but she didn't want to give up a family member for quick success.
@@mikedavis3393 / She wasn't even chosen yet...🤣🤣🤣
@@mikedavis3393 what are you talking about?? Many producers on Death Row have said that she was slow to work and was too picky with beats

No, she was just lazy. Even Kurupt said it in a previous interview. How they made Dog Food album in less than a month
Great Clarity by Kurupt on this interview
Rage got one of the hardest verses on the G-Funk Intro on Doggy Style Album hands down!
Have you checked out that rage and mc eight track she went in. And eight verse was aright to me. But she murdered it.
She had the best verses on the chronic too

I remember when Lady of Rage was on the Steve Harvey Show.
loved her on that show as Coretta Cox. her rap at the talent show was true Lady of Rage style. and she was pretty good in Next Friday.
Check out time is one of my all time favorite songs 💯
Perfect summer time song!!!! Take off the T-tops and I'm riding to that 💯😎😎
Same. People, well some people on the internet at least, diss songs like that on Book 2, but I never understood that. Songs like Check Out Time and Run the Streetz are dope asf to me. 2Pac made records for all emotions, not just strictly hardcore sh##. Kurupt did his thing on there, but I always thought Big Syke stole the show with his verse. "If walls could talk, they would say you tried to fade me" lol.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un man the hell with them I like disc 2 better just my opinion!!!! "Picture me Rollin" "call ya bytch" and "All eyes on me" are my favorite songs on that album to be honest and that's all disc 2 😎😎
Rages main problem was she took too damn long to complete songs and her album. She was the best female MC of her time but took way too long to deliver. Kurupt says she took her time and should have been the biggest but doesn’t straight up say had she deleivered her Album before dog food or right after that she would have blown up.
Agree she was taking too long. I felt if Snoop didn't get caught in the murder case. She would've dropped in 1994 after the Doggy Style album.
Bruh stop lying she was no where near Da Brat Laurn Hill Foxy Brown Mia X or Mc Lyte
Makes sense my pac took rage's studio time away. Time is money and it's taking rage weeks to do one song and Pac can spit a whole album in a one session
Rage was slower than Dr Dre and that's saying something
Rage wasn't going to sell anything significant anyway
Ya'll are haters frfr.

I said this on the other video I heard Pac got mad because rage didn't want to diss lil Kim.
Lady Of Rage is from Virginia. That’s the East and they love Big and have a large NY influence in VA. She didn’t have the same gang affiliations and California love that the rest of the label had.
Or maybe she’s a grown adult who’s not going to jump into a beef just because someone says so she had a mind of her own and I respect her for that
Virginia is THE SOUTH. The area she’s from anyway.
Lol wasn't no ny influence in va at that time. I'm from MD and after NJ no body give af about ny...we all do our own thing in the DMV area. As a matter of fact pac was behind pac because he used to live there. MD, DC, VA especially is considered country to NY and they don't respect it as far as culture and we don't really rock with NY in that area either.
@@fuhyou3223 Virginia is literally on the East Coast. VA has more east coast culture than southern culture when it comes to hiphop.
@@Cslicksmusic91 it’s not either or lol it can be a multitude of reasons. Being from where she’s from is a large reason for her decisions lol i said nothing wrong

He have to chase that youtube money bag.💰
When afro puffs came out, it was charting. They should of ran with the vibe and had an album ready because she could of been iconic like Lil kim, minus the xrated ish. Lol
She still needs to create the material for the album with no material there was no vibe to ride
Lady of Rage definitely needs her flowers, she didn’t get what she deserved!!! Much love to Lady of Rage❤❤❤❤
👍👏👆 and when she was on the Steve Harvey show,
Rage from VA
I love Necessary Roughness, that album is a classic in my book, I got mad love for Lady Of Rage, shot out to the DPG family, #100mill
she really needed a Dre Produced record. The Music on her record was so so, it was okay.
I always wondered why she disappeared like that. That hit record she had was huge, why didn’t she ride the momentum?
She released her album in 97, Necessary Roughness, but by that time the west coast momentum was gone
@@robertusthemac yup west coast momentum was over when pac died
They said she was a slow writer I'm sure that effected it.
Rage worked slow in the studio and the priorities of Death Row changed once Tupac got out of jail. Once Pac was on Death Row he became the #1 priority. Obviously Tupac was known for pumping out songs in the studio at an incredible pace.
It's her fault ,came blame Tom and Jerry who ever else the woman was slow Afro was a banger, she talking about she didn't like the song whatever ,she will always be known as a dope artist never blew up
We need that lady of rage album Snoop ❤
She released her album in 97, Necessary Roughness
No we don’t.
@@robertusthemac was not the original album. The original album had a bunch of Dre produced tracks.
She's almost 60 years old now, who wants to hear that?
She's 54 years old.
I love kurupt interviews
I think one thing that hurt lady of rage was she wasn’t sexy or really good looking but she definitely deserved more of a push because she was one of the best lyricists on death row she had great bars on the songs she was on
Today ifs more looks driving industry Nd politics
90s was ....you got bars ?
You can do 2 step ? ..you got a voice
Let's go ...
Rage have nice features never ugly ,but she was consider a big girl ,it was hard for her to complete with other girls like Lil Kim, foxy brown , who were talking about Sex ,wearing sexy clothes ,it shouldn't have matter it should be based on talent , but she did have a hard time , because things have changed , other ladies was promoted Sex in their music and their looks did help them sell alot of records
"Bottom line, top of the page, want to fuck a big batty bitch like Rage."
when she came out it wasnt about looks, you latifah before her, lyte wasnt look at as sexy da brat neither, then you can add the lesser artists like heather b, yo-yo, suga-t.
Kurupt looks good glad to see he’s doing better
Rage came from Virginia, she didnt want to be involved in all of that nonsense. she's like i thought this was a record label, not a gang, lol.
Exactly. She was an artist, and was all about the music.
@@frankstudent while she needed to created some music because all that slow poking around wasn't going to cut it and she got left behind
Nobody was looking for an RBX solo project…not 92…not 96…..not 98…
Hes not lying. Shit was moving fast. 2pac had two different eras of music in a short span of 1.5 years or so with death row. Crazy.
All of them were on completely different shit in 94 vs 95 vs 96. They didnt have an extended period time where you can say "during these years they generally made this type of music. During this other time it was switched up and more like this..." those mindstates literally only lasted weeks or months til they moved to something else.
They were moving too fast.
Lady of Rage is one of my top favorites female MC'S
RBX was gone way before 2pac came sir.
That's right he dropped his album RBX Files with a diss track A.W.O.L.
2pac was gone wayy before dmx came out
@@lmiko dmx was gone waay before Lil Baby came out
Her album should have dropped immediately shortly after Afro Puffs from the Above The Rim soundtrack. Her album Necessary Roughness on Death Row didn't come out until June 1997....Death Row was losing it's hot streak by then.
The true OG of features on Death Row will always be Nate Dog. RIP
Happy holidays to my guy Art 🍺💯💯
Dre was only consistent with dropping albums when he his funds were low, the chronic and Doggystyle came out consistently. Then after that, rage was taking forever to finish her album and Dre was taking forever to drop again due to a dispute with Suge and the atmosphere at the studio at deathrow , I also highly doubt that rage would have been able to drop anything on aftermath either because once Dre started eating really good off of em and 50 and apple, Dre keep procrastinating on a lot of the artists albums and they never got released including Dre's own album Detox.
Lol how can Dre drop lots of albums without the authorization??them folks go by rules
@@mikedavis3393 he was owner of the label with suge and executive producer lol
@@HurrikaneBEA5T lol that don't mean sh.t,he just a regular employee.you act like he up there with the owner of universal records lol.
Bruh that's false Dre was doing his own album which was the original album with California love but all the b.s on death row and the gang banging was a game changer. Dre only like his special type of artists to work with so u completely false because after M and 50 Dre did a album with Rakin called O my God but that ended up in court then he did the album with Busta Rhymes. So y'all really need to stop throwing salt on this man name because he got his they always said nigg*z get mad at anyone who has 5 dollars more then them
VA all Day . She did the right thing. She said in another interview that he was very disrespectful.
Anyone around Tupac at that time -- who had any drive -- was hopping on a record. He grabbed producers from the whack room, he grabbed the lady from the front desk, any rapper writing in a session wasn’t getting a shot. She definitely missed an opportunity there
Shes a hater simple as.
True. Pac has songs with Death Row b and c-level artists like Danny Boy, CPO Boss Hogg, OFTB and even Hammer lol. Tgat Death Row vault has been emptied of alotta music over the years. Rage is notably absent tho. I wonder was she even around much at all at Can-Am studios in those years. If she was, she obviously wasn't putting in work.
@@ILoveTheAllCreator pac got shot he was the victim to take sides with the enemy is just cruel.
Rage was dope but she needed to be dropping her shit when she had that spark, plus I think she found it hard to make another or top Afro Puffs...

Bruh what's the realest the most dumbest the most childish bruh u gotta understand what y'all saying Snoop just beat a murder case Dre left because of too much b.s
Great breakdown big dawg... LOR was the Mia X of the West and would've been even bigger star if her album was delayed. She still was able to become a legacy artist in spite of the inner turmoil which many don't get to do!
No disrespect to mia x but rage's equal on the national stage was Eve.

Why do you keep saying that The Lady of Rage album never came out? It was released in ‘97…on Death Row. «Necessary Roughness». Pac is on it and Daz produced something, I think.
Exactly. It just came out a year later. Her necessary roughness album slaps
Because it was forgettable. Nobody really bought, played or remembers that album. Plus Death Row was pretty much a wrap by the time it dropped. Aside from Daz, all the original Chronic/Doggystyle artists had already left the label. 2Pac was dead, and Suge was locked up.
Rage failed because it didn't have the Death Row production sound people were expecting
my only fear of death is reincarnation -2Pac legends never die Rip 🙏🏻
Lady of rage was working on her album the same speed as dr Dre was working on songs!! Tupac came and made the whole camp work harder! He needed beats after beats! When Dre was gone Tupac had Daz and Johnny J
I think Dre just knew he was about to exit DR and didn't want to put anymore time and good beats in that direction.
2Pac was a prolific writer, and song-maker. Knocked out that Makaveli album in 7 days with the "wack room" producers at Death Row, who none of the artists there ever used. Pac was a man on a mission. Rage just wasn't hungry enough, and that's why she missed her shot. Rage should've been nagging Dre, Quik, Sam Sneed, Dj Pooh, Daz & Soopafly for beats all day everyday. That's too much producer heat for you to be sitting around working on an album for 2 years. Death Row had the best in-house producers in the game.
also Dj Quik & QD3
That sucks Lady of Rage's rap career did not take off. That's cool that she and some of the other artists of Death Row were not down with the Tupac/Biggie and Bad Boy/Death Row feud because it should have never happened.
Bruh u gotta be able to create music to have a rap career no beef stop her career she just wasn't cut out for making music what she done after death row exactly
When's the music video to 2pac skandalouz coming out?

Art, you did a historic interview with the First Lady of Death Row, Jewell!!!!! Kurupt was incorrect! She was also on the Deep Cover Soundtrack along with Dr. Dre (introducing) Snoop Dogg! I think her song was Love or Lust. Before that she was on NWA ,”EFIL4ZAGGIN”. Warren G was also on the album. 😊
Love or Lust by Jewell ft Lady of Rage
Bottom line anyone from my era which was Tupac and Biggie era know that Tupac was trouble bottom line! Why do anyone from my era keep up with this Tupac theory to the younger generation. Tell the truth Tupac changed his whole style up and got extra once he joined Deathrow
@coldhoops Listen little Thundacatt you should be paying attention when getting schooled that way you won't miss anything!
@coldhoops 😁No doubt
She wasn't the only one, snoop wasn't joining the beef either.
I do remembering him kicking down buildings in that NY, NY video. But hé came out way before the beef so his name was cemented in da game anyway.
But not getting involved probably helped her soul
East coast is Rage fan based. It was best no to involve herself in the beef. Nothing good came out that anyway. She was popular on sitcoms and other deathrow hits. She didnt even diss ruthless if Im correct. She just focus on her lyrical skills
So Easy E was right in Real MFing/Compton City Gs..y’all was getting treated like Boot Camp 😂😂
Rhythm d the producer of real mf gz was at deathrow he told E what was going down at the row.
I've always wondered... how old is Art?
Rage is the Roxane Shontae of west coast Hip Hop.
Lady of Rage must not be ready to talk about all the Drama from the 90's cause it's well past time to hear from her! AKA Coretta Cox
Damn they did Lady of Rage dirty smh
They keep saying the album didn't drop, her album got released. The best song had 2pac on the hook "Baddest lil bitch born"
Not sticking with Pac and losing in the end actually served her right!!! What did her smile at Pig at those Source Awards earn her??? It is snakes like those that everyone should avoid in their lives!!! Had she stuck with Death Row (YES I SAID DR NOT JUST PAC) she knows today that fan base would have boosted the sales of her album. Despite it coming out in ‘98 and Suge in jail, Death Row fans were still pushing the sales on there. Her album couldn’t even make gold. It served her right!!! And by the way LET THIS BE CLEAR: When Tupac joined Death Row, the beef between Suge and Puffy was already on!!! Big Jake had already been killed in Atlanta. So she was actually betraying Death Row with her actions not just Pac. I’m happy she ended up nowhere!!!! To hell with her!!!! She must know that Tupac people actually hate her!!!
