Hier ist ein ATL-Interview, es ist schon älter. Ich hatte es selbst eine Ewigkeit auf meiner Festplatte. Bin grad wieder darauf gestoßen und mir gedacht, intressiert vielleicht mehrere Leute...
Ich kann nicht sagen von wann das Interview ist, ich kann euch auch nicht mehr sagen von welcher Seite das Interview herkommt.
Im Interview geht es um G-Funk, Dre und ATL
Zitat:
YES, WE ALL KNOW WHO GETS THE CREDIT ALL THE TIME AND THAT'S DR. DRE. ALTHOUGH DRE BROUGHT THE G-FUNK SOUND TO A NEW LEVEL AND REALLY WAS THE FIRST TO EXPOSE IT, HE DID NOT, I REPEAT, HE DID NOT CREATE THE SOUND. HERE'S A LIL' SOMETHIN' FROM AN OLD ABOVE THE LAW INTERVIEW THAT YOU MIGHT FIND INTERESTING...
ATL ON THE REASON BEHIND THERE BEEF WITH DR. DRE
"Muthafuckas was tellin' us 'watch out for Eric Wright, when we needed to watch out for Go-Mack and Laylaw" - KMG on why they were ousted from ATL.
"There was so much drama, the real reason we left Epic wasn't because they didn't want to do our album, or because they weren't doing a good job, the real truth is that our deal was destroyed by Andre Young. Dre didn't hardly do nothing on our first album, we had 6 or 7 songs done when Eric and them finally came along." - Hutch and KMG
"When Eric and Dre started getting into it. He originally wanted us to go to Death Row. The original Death Row was Above The Law, Kokane, Michelle', D.O.C. and Dr. Dre. In the process they told Epic the whole story, that he (Dre) didn't produce this or that, and he weaseled up out of the deal. Epic abandoned Ruthless, because they gave the label so much to have Dre do the producing, when we really did the record.... We didn't have a deal for almost two years, so that's when we dropped the EP "Vocally Pimpin'". While making the song "Appetite for Destruction", Dre heard our song "Never Missing A Beat" which he ended up using for "Dre Day" "efil4zaggiN" was him taking the Kokane album "Who Am I" whis is very similiar to that record, with the reggae chantin' ideas, the funk, all of that. That reason I had those old authentic keyboard sounds is that I had an old DX-7. He (Dre) heard me doing that shit with "Never Missing A Beat" off that board and got those ideas. That song went on "Black Mafia Life." When we had 5 or 6 songs done, we played them for Dre and Laylaw, who were supposed to be working on Michelle's new album. We didn't know that he was beefin' with Eric at the time. At that time, this little bubble eared brother named Warren G started coming along, he was staying with Hutch, half assin' all the time. Dre was treating warren like a dog, so warren was tellin' us "I know this nigga named Snoop, man he need to be hooked up", so he started coming to the studio kickin' it. Snoop was busy gang-bangin' or simpin' off some bitch and not coming to the studio, but he was hearing our shit." - Hutch and KMG
"What it really was is this, we (Above The Law) booked studio time for Snoop, right, Snoop stiffed us for two days straight. Warren G called me (Hutch) cause at the time he had moved back to Long Beach with his sister. He called me and told me that Snoop was trying to hook up with some mutherfuckas out in Long Beach.....Well, at the same time, while we was doing "Black Mafia Life", Dre was coming around hearing other stuff that I was doing, and he noticed Snoop being over there. So he entices him to hook up with him after that.....Only reason that nigga wanted to hook up with that nigga is cause we're (ATL) the source. We're the source, we're the street niggas, cause we hold onto the street so much. The reason he was floating down to see us so much, to see what was up, is cause he had been living on the hill for too fuckin' long." - Hutch and KMG
"I want you to go back right and listen to it. Slow down the the lyrics to "For The Funk Of It" if you have the wax, and tell me that ain't Snoop's style to this day. Every idea they got, but we don't fault Snoop. He was down with us. if you hang with us for a while, you get a bit of us, and we get a bit of you, that's how it is. Nobody's sweating that. But when it gets to biting people's slurs and phrases, singin' chants, if somebody take your flavor, you a regular person. And we was the first people doing that shit, man. We was true, we was saggin' when people was scared to be saggin'. Dre, he know it (on asked if the group confronted Dre about his plagorizing) ain't nobody sayin' oh, we got beef! Don't nobody have beef, cause you know why? I love music man. I live for it and die for it and we can always make dope tracks and records. Everytime he take something from us, he knows something else coming. Always. When you grow up aand someone took something from you, and you know they did, you can look them in the eye and they can't do the same. When that man (Dre) sees us, he don't act right. And the worst thing is everytime he sees us, he know we have something under our hats. When he go to bed and look up in the sky, he know wassup. you know what your doing, whether it's right or wrong. He can fool the world, but he can't fool himself." - Hutch and KMG
This could be applied to other artists living off the fat of other artists, living and dead. Bitin' just ain't right no matter how much you try to clean it up. There's no beef any longer, but you can never erase history. This is why Hutch really went after Dre on Kokane's "Dont' Bite The Phunk." - Damon X (ATL'S Road Manager)
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. I WANTED TO PUT THIS UP ON THE OLD SITE AND EXPOSE DR. DRE BUT I NEVER DID. AS YOU CAN SEE BIG HUTCH WAS THE REAL MASTERMIND BEHIND THE G-FUNK SOUND AND DR. DRE STOLE IT FROM HIM AND TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING BIGGER...
I WASN'T GONNA DO THIS BUT I JUST FELT THAT THE TRUTH HAD TO BE LET OUT...
