Podcasts about Ruthless Records

Dropping his first single in 1988, Don Cisco might be the Bay Area's first Latino rapper on record. Growing up in the diverse Excelsior District, he gravitated towards hip-hop early during the emergence of West Coast rap, signing major label deals and a management contract with Ruthless Records' Jerry Heller. When that didn't work out, he started dropping independent projects in the Bay Area and started working with the likes Mac Dre, Baby Bash, Jay Tee, Kid Frost, Roger Troutman, and many more. His song "Mamacita" appeared on the Next Friday soundtrack and his single "Oh Boy" with Kurupt and Roscoe was a regional hit. Since then he's dealt with life's ups and downs but continues to push forward and make new music.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro01:51 Excelsior District05:13 Getting into music08:36 First single in 198814:43 Jerry Heller, Suge Knight21:34 Early 90s Latino rap28:49 Nick Peace, Tone Capone33:29 Thizz36:37 JT and Baby Bash: Latino Velvet40:53 Next Friday soundtrack45:48 “Oh Boy” with Kurupt52:45 Fighting the feds59:15 Losing friends1:02:34 Roger Troutman1:06:48 Mac Dre in Excelsior1:09:28 Upcoming projects

BG Knoccout is a Compton Native and former Nutty Block Crip who tells some amazing life stories. BG got his big break when he was featured on Eazy E's "Real MF G's" in 1993 under the Ruthless Records label. Notably BG, was very good friends with Orlando Anderson, the accused killer of Tupac.

Le 7 mai, la disparition de Steve Albini a été un véritable choc pour le monde du rock indépendant. Cet artiste nous a profondément marqué, et nous avons décidé de lui rendre hommage en lui consacrant quatre émissions spéciales. Celle d'aujourd'hui sera dédiée à ses groupes Big Black, Rapeman et Shellac. Les émissions suivantes aborderont les albums qu'il a enregistrés par décennies. Steve Albini, né le 22 juillet 1962 à Pasadena, Californie, est l'un des producteurs et ingénieurs du son les plus influents de la musique rock indépendante. Connu pour son approche minimaliste, sa rigueur artistique et son refus catégorique des compromis, Albini a façonné le son du rock indépendant, du noise rock et du hardcore des années 80 et 90. Son héritage est celui d'un visionnaire intransigeant, qui a toujours privilégié l'authenticité et l'expérimentation, tout en refusant de se soumettre aux pressions de l'industrie musicale. Adolescent à Missoula, dans le Montana, après plusieurs déménagements liés à la carrière d'ingénieur aérospatial de son père, Steve Albini découvre le punk-rock grâce aux Ramones, The Stooges et Suicide. Ce genre, brut et déstabilisateur, devient pour lui une échappatoire à une adolescence difficile marquée par l'isolement, l'impopularité et une fracture sociale. Albini voit dans le punk un refuge pour les marginaux, une communauté où les règles et les attentes traditionnelles ne s'appliquent plus. Inspiré par cette scène rebelle, il forme son premier groupe, Just Ducky, avant de quitter Missoula pour Chicago, où il s'inscrit à la Northwestern University pour étudier le journalisme. Parallèlement à ses études, Albini commence à écrire pour le fanzine *Forced Exposure*, un journal influent dans le milieu underground de Chicago. Cependant, Albini refuse de s'enfermer dans une carrière journalistique. Fasciné par la production musicale, il se tourne vers cette voie en apportant une approche minimaliste et radicale. Pour lui, la production doit avant tout respecter l'intégrité de l'artiste, sans interférence inutile. Il devient alors l'un des producteurs les plus recherchés de la scène underground, en particulier pour ses méthodes d'enregistrement "live" en studio, avec un son cru, direct et sans retouche excessive. Il refuse le titre de "producteur", préférant celui d'"ingénieur du son", car il considère que son rôle n'est pas de façonner la musique, mais de capturer l'essence brute des artistes. Malgré sa réputation de provocateur, Albini est décrit par ses proches comme un homme généreux, loyal et passionné. Il est connu pour soutenir activement les groupes émergents, les mettant en avant lors d'interviews ou en portant leurs t-shirts lors de concerts ou de compétitions de poker (une de ses autres grandes passions). Il est également engagé dans de multiples aspects de la scène musicale : il organise des concerts, dessine des pochettes de disques et dirige son propre label, *Ruthless Records*. Steve Albini laisse derrière lui un héritage immense. Il a marqué l'histoire de la musique indépendante par son refus du compromis et sa volonté inébranlable de rester fidèle à ses convictions. Pour lui, peu importe qu'un artiste soit célèbre ou inconnu, tous méritaient le même respect et la même attention. Son influence continue de résonner à travers les générations, non seulement pour son travail de producteur et musicien, mais aussi pour ses prises de position éthiques et son engagement en faveur de la scène underground. Albini restera à jamais une figure incontournable du rock indépendant, un punk authentique et une icône de la contre-culture, ayant défié les normes jusqu'à la fin Big Black/Kerosene Big Black/Rip Big Black/Bad Penny Big Black/The Model Rapeman/Kim Gordon's Panties Rapeman/Superpussy Rapeman/Steak and Black Onions Rapeman/Inki's Butt Crack Shellac/My Black Ass Shellac/Canada (Peel Sessions) Shellac/Wednesday Shellac/Prayer to God

In this episode, Suge responds to podcast fans who have asked him to go through each person that was a key part of Death Row Records and give his rundown on the good and bad about them. First up, Dr. Dre. Suge talks us back to the early days of meeting Dre when he was signed to Eazy E and Jerry Heller's Ruthless Records. Suge talks about the soundtrack to the movie “Deep Cover,” and how much of an important role it played in getting Death Row off the ground. Suge commends Dre for not running off when the war between Ruthless and Death Row got going. Suge talks about the challenges for many in the music industry that lead a double life and how challenging it was for Suge himself to manage and grow a business in this environment. Suge goes into Dr. Dre's history of beating women, comparing it to the situation with Diddy and Cassie. Suge continues to point out the powers that be at the major record labels and their role in creating and supporting these types of activities. In a special epilogue to this episode, Suge provides a graphic detailing of Dr. Dre's brutal 1991 attack on Fox TV video show host Dee Barnes. Despite gag orders for all parties that came with a legal settlement made at the time, Dr. Dre would later re-hash his violent attack on Ms. Barnes in the Eminem song “Guilty Conscience,” where the Dre and Eminem make fun of what happened. Finally, Suge reveals never-before-heard details he learned from Barnes' husband Ricky Harris shortly before his death in 2016. This episode is sponsored by Earnin.

Ladies and gents we have a new noteworthy Ruthless Era Bomb. I'm talking Kokane's new single “All My Life”. Produced by the one and only legendary Rhythm D. This hit me out of nowhere! I've listened to it and folks, it's straight up fire.I'll post the link in the show notes to the Spotify Version but I'm sure it's available everywhere you stream your music. I wanted to take the time to talk about this collaboration. More notably is the return of Rhythm D!Just when you thought, Hutch and Kokane go best together, we get this crazy ass jam! What it is though, is that all the Ruthless cats sound classic on a Rhythm D beat. It takes me back folks.Listening to this makes mw just wonder what things would have been like if Ruthless Records stayed the course. Imagine Decades or Rhythm D music man. These guys are doing this like they never lost a beat. So what are we expecting now? Is Kokane dropping a new record and are we going to get Rhythm D beats? If it's anything like this, we are in for a classic. So Kokane, get this guy on more tracks! This is what the West Coast needs. Rhythm D was arguably the man who defined the new Ruthless sound post Dre and he did not disappoint. People, what's your favorite Rhythm D track? Real Muthuphukkin G'z? Down 4 My Thang off Bone's Creepin on a Come up? Maybe his work on Real Brothas? Shock of the Hour?

NWA's Ice Cube talks about the influence of crack on their hit song “Dopeman” and the contradiction of how drug money destroyed the community and propelled his career. “Dopeman” Is one of the illest songs ever made because it takes you deep into the drug dealer's perspective on selling drugs. The crack dealer was evil but we should still seek to understand what drove him and when we look into his soul we find that like the fiends he served, he too was an addict, but he was addicted to power and money. Crack dealers and their culture had a deep influence on hiphop culture and the Black community. In this ep we go into "Dopeman” with The D.O.C. from NWA and talk to several former drug dealers about how dealers changed the world around them.   Guests: Nelson George, Filmmaker Royce Da 5'9, Rapper Biba Adams, Writer The D.O.C., Rapper Samson Styles, Journalist and Filmmaker Kevin Chiles, CEO Don Diva Magazine Jim Jones, Rapper Credits: NWA - Dope Man Writer: Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Sugarfoot, Junie Morrison, Marshall “Rock” Jones, Greg Webster, Ralph Middlebrooks, Marvin Pierce, Norman Napier & Andrew Noland  Label: Ruthless Records Publisher: Ruthless Attack Muzick & Bridgeport Music    NWA - Fuck Tha Police Writer: The D.O.C., Ice Cube & MC Ren Label: Universal Music Group, Ruthless Records & Priority Records Publisher: Universal Music Group   Notorious BIG - The Ten Crack Commandments Writer: The Notorious B.I.G. & DJ Premier Label: Bad Boy Entertainment Publisher: B.I.G.

Jesse Starcher, Robert Cooper and Mark Radulich present their NWA Straight Outta Compton Album Review as part of the MHOD Jukebox!N.W.A (an abbreviation for Niggaz Wit Attitudes) was an American hip hop group formed in Compton, California. They were among the earliest and most significant popularizers and controversial figures of the gangsta rap subgenre, and the group is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential groups in the history of hip hop music.Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by American hip hop group N.W.A, which, led by Eazy-E, formed in Los Angeles County's City of Compton in early 1987. Released by his label, Ruthless Records, on August 8, 1988, the album was produced by N.W.A members Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, and Arabian Prince, with lyrics written by N.W.A members Ice Cube and MC Ren along with Ruthless rapper The D.O.C. Not merely depicting Compton's street violence, the lyrics repeatedly threaten to lead it by attacking peers and even police. The track "Fuck tha Police" drew an FBI agent's warning letter, which aided N.W.A's notoriety, with N.W.A calling itself "the world's most dangerous group."We also discuss Metal Injection's 10 Epic Metal Covers of Hip-Hop Classics.All of that plus video reviews of N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton (Official Music Video), 3RD BASS - POP GOES THE WEASEL and Stuck Mojo - Open Season.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsosnapchat: markkind76FB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulich

David Weldon grew up in South Central Los Angeles. As he was coming of age as a hip-hop producer in the early '90s, he got caught up in a feud between the two biggest West Coast rap names of the time: Eazy-E and Dr. Dre. The pair had great success together with N.W.A, bringing gangsta rap to the masses, but Dre left the group over a financial dispute and allied with former bodyguard Suge Knight, as part of the upstart label Death Row Records. Weldon, who goes by Rhythm D, was initially aligned with Death Row, and left not long before the release of Dre's legendary 1992 album The Chronic, complete with its eviscerating Eazy-E disses on "Fuck Wit Dre Day." "You fucked with me, now it's a must that I fuck with you." Weldon instead joined the camp of Eazy's Ruthless Records, stepping into Dre's role as the label's in-house producer. Weldon's most memorable production to come out of this era, Eazy's "Real Compton City G's," was a response to "Fuck Wit Dre Day," and was equally raw: "Watch the sniper, time to pay the piper," Eazy rapped, as well as mocking Dre for the feminine outfits he'd worn in his previous group, World Class Wreckin' Cru. Weldon went to great lengths to convince Eazy that the G-funk sound on "Real Compton City G's" set the appropriate tone. That the song was a hit — and helped Eazy get the last word in the famous battle — owed much to its sinister beat. Rhythm D's star was in orbit. But his newfound notoriety came at a cost: Those involved with the Ruthless/Death Row dispute had reason to be scared for their lives, and Weldon was watched over by a bodyguard named Big Animal. "I couldn't go nowhere," Weldon says. "It was a real beef." Indeed, such beef would take the lives of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, and by the early 2000s Weldon had had enough. The Southern rap sound was ascendant, and he began making frequent trips to Atlanta. "Our music was caught up in gangsta rap instead of making people dance and have a good time," Weldon says. "The business was flourishing out here more than anywhere else. Instead of being mad at the South I came down here." Working with rapper Bonecrusher and shown the city's ropes by V103's DJ Nabs, he became increasingly enchanted with Atlanta. "People here are a little more warm, with the Southern hospitality," he says. Following the death of his sister from cancer, he quietly moved down here permanently in 2010, and now resides near where Atlanta meets Cobb County, off of Marietta Street. Not a lot of Atlantans realize they have a '90s production legend in their midst; Weldon also crafted the classic Paperboy track "Ditty," and helped Bone Thugs-n-Harmony define their sound on their first album.

But his newfound notoriety came at a cost: Those involved with the Ruthless/Death Row dispute had reason to be scared for their lives, and Weldon was watched over by a bodyguard named Big Animal. "I couldn't go nowhere," Weldon says. "It was a real beef." Indeed, such beef would take the lives of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, and by the early 2000s Weldon had had enough. The Southern rap sound was ascendant, and he began making frequent trips to Atlanta. "Our music was caught up in gangsta rap instead of making people dance and have a good time," Weldon says. "The business was flourishing out here more than anywhere else. Instead of being mad at the South I came down here." Working with rapper Bonecrusher and shown the city's ropes by V103's DJ Nabs, he became increasingly enchanted with Atlanta. "People here are a little more warm, with the Southern hospitality," he says. Following the death of his sister from cancer, he quietly moved down here permanently in 2010, and now resides near where Atlanta meets Cobb County, off of Marietta Street. Not a lot of Atlantans realize they have a '90s production legend in their midst; Weldon also crafted the classic Paperboy track "Ditty," and helped Bone Thugs-n-Harmony define their sound on their first album Learn more about your ad choices.

N.W.A's “Dopeman” Is one of the illest songs ever made because it takes you deep into the drug dealer's perspective on selling drugs. The crack dealer was evil but we should still seek to understand what drove him and when we look into his soul we find that like the fiends he served, he too was an addict, but he was addicted to power and money. Crack dealers and their culture had a deep influence on hiphop culture and the Black community. In this ep we go into "Dopeman” with The D.O.C. from NWA and talk to several former drug dealers about how dealers changed the world around them.

In addition to a solo career, he was a member of the Southern hip hop group Fila Fresh Crew and later collaborated with group N.W.A–where he co-wrote many of their releases–as well as Eazy-E's solo debut album Eazy-Duz-It. He has also worked with Dr. Dre, co-writing his solo debut album, while Dre produced Curry's solo debut album, released by Ruthless Records.He was also one of the founders of Death Row Records.After Fila Fresh Crew split up in 1988, the D.O.C. went on to pursue a successful solo career. In 1989, he released his debut album, No One Can Do It Better, which reached number-one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for two weeks and spawned two number one hits on the Hot Rap Songs chart: "It's Funky Enough" and "The D.O.C. & The Doctor". The album went platinum five years after its release. In late 1989, months after the release of No One Can Do It Better, the D.O.C. suffered a serious car crash that permanently changed his voice. Since his accident, he has released two more albums, Helter Skelter in 1996 and Deuce in 2003. In 2015, he said his voice was fully recovered.Join Rocci Stucci and Tim Klund for this episode of Battle Scars Podcasthttps://battlescarspodcast.comhttps://butverve.comhttps://romikadesigns.com

B. Cox and J. Owe look back at Dr. Dre's transcendent debut album The Chronic as it turns 30. After spending half a decade as the architect and chief producer for both NWA and Ruthless Records, Dr. Dre split in 1991 to help co-found Death Row Records with Marion "Suge" Knight with the backing of Interscope Records. As their prime producer and executive, the record label would become a symbol of power and success in the 1990s, starting with his debut album.Using techniques of producing beats over sampled funk records, deep bass and transformative melodies, the album is credited by many as not originating, but popularizing the "G-Funk" sound that became the label and southern California's hip-hop's identity.Assisted by the likes of a young rap phenom Snoop Doggy Dog, RBX, Daz and Kurupt of the Dogg Pound and Lady of Rage among others, the Dr. also lent his own vocals as a signature defining moment for his career assisted by the pen of Snoop and also the legendary D.O.C., who was relegated to writing after his traffic accident prematurely ended his promising career on the mic. The result was an album full of legendary bars and quotables that would become a part of hip-hop and pop culture lexicon.The album was backed by three Billboard top ten singles : the classics "Nuthin But a G Thang", "Dre Day" and "Let Me Ride". Certified triple platinum, The Chronic has been universally acclaimed as both a foundational album of West Coast hip-hop, the hip-hop genre overall and a culture-shifting supernova that few albums have been able to match in terms of quality and impact since.Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Onlinewww.vaultclassicpod.comSupport The Vault Classic Music Review on Buy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpodShow NotesAlbumism: Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic' Turns 30 | Album Anniversaryhttps://albumism.com/features/dr-dre-the-chronic-album-anniversaryEurWeb: Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" Turns 30 https://eurweb.com/2022/dr-dres-the-chronic-turns-30/HipHopHero: 30 years of 'The Chronic': Dr. Dre's exceptional debut album https://hiphophero.com/30-years-of-dr-dre-album-the-chronic/MusicMusingsAndSuch: Celebrating An Iconic and Complex Debut Album: Dr. Dre's "The Chronic"https://www.musicmusingsandsuch.com/musicmusingsandsuch/2022/11/16/feature-celebrating-an-iconic-and-complex-debut-album-dr-dres-the-chronic-at-thirtyBillboard: Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" Turns 30.

John Tejada on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 6/28/22 About John Tejada - Normally associated with his peers in techno from Detroit, Europe and elsewhere, John Tejada has embraced electronic music as a personal frontier, expanding on his resume as a techno recording artist as producer, remixer, DJ, and label owner. Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo. John Tejada was born in Vienna, Austria on April 21, 1974. His parents, both professional classical musicians (his mother an opera singer and father a conductor) began his early piano training at the age of 4. In the summer of 1982, John would move with his mother to her place of birth, Los Angeles. It was that summer at the age of 8 another instrument would catch his eye, the drums. Teaching himself to play along to classic rock music, John quickly learned his way around the drum set (an instrument he still plays to this day in his I'm Not A Gun project).  Everything changed however when he got his first taste of early 80's hip hop music. The impact of those early productions and electronic experimentation was very strong. Soon after, at the age of 12 John was given his first set of turntables and a mixer. He wanted to figure out everything he was hearing DJs do at that time. His first gigs came at the age of 12 for his own school, DJing his school dances. Soon after his fascination with DJing began his fascination with production began. Just as he was completely determined to learn the tricks of local DJs, he now wanted to know how the music was made. His introduction came around the age of 15, when he acquired his first looping delay. Soon after came his first workstation, an Ensoniq EPS sampler. This opened up a whole new world of possibilities. John spent every part of his day honing his craft. In 1991, while still in high school, John was already recording his first productions. He was also involved in college radio, even though he was just a junior in high school. John had a spot on “The Fly ID Show” with DJ Rob One. John produced the show's first record for Rob and also went on to do some hip hop production on Ruthless Records. It was during this time that he met his long time collaborator and best friend Arian Leviste.  The two met at a hip hop recording session in ‘91. John, already tired of the hip hop scene and where it was going, spent hours talking to Arian about acid house, techno, ambient house and everything they seemed to have in common. The two agreed they would meet weekly to compose material. It took some time before they would release any music, but in 1994 they pressed up their own single and that started a chain reaction of releases. John and Arian during this time also were accepted into CalArts' (California Institute for the Arts) electronic music program, but both decided not to attend to hone their craft on their own. Soon after, John enjoyed a series of releases on European labels like A13, Multiplex, and Generations R&S. In the fall of 1996 he started his own label, Palette Recordings as an outlet to release his own productions without having anyone tell him how to do it. The demand for his music continued to grow and labels such as Ferox, Sino, Mosaic, Immigrant, Plug Research, Pokerflat and 7th City all released Tejada 12”s. John began traveling internationally in ‘97 to showcase his DJ skills around the globe, traveling to more than 25 countries and playing various clubs and festivals around the world. Festivals included Movement (formerly The Detroit Electronic Music Festival), Sonar Festival (in Spain and Tokyo), Dance Valley (Netherlands), Sync Festival (Greece), Mutek Mexico, as well as internationally known spaces such as Fabric (London), Yellow (Tokyo), Rex Club (Paris), The Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles) and many more. In 1999, John met classical jazz guitarist Takeshi Nishimoto, which was the beginning of another musical frontier. The two had a similar meeting as John and Arian had years before and began talking about making music. The project I'm Not A Gun was born and signed soon after to Berlin-based City Center Offices. This project would bring back John's own training as a drummer while also trying his hand at the guitar. The project became a mix of John's own electronic productions along with Takeshi's professional guitar playing and John's drumming. The project has enjoyed great reviews and success the world over and the duo has performed live in LA, Japan and Germany. In the summer of 2004, John would - in one week - create the two songs that would catapult his techno career. The classic “Sweat On The Walls,” and “Mono On Mono” were released almost at the same time on two different labels. “Sweat” was released on Pokerflat and “Mono On Mono” on Palette. Together the two records sold over 23,000 copies on vinyl. This lead to the equally successful follow up singles “Paranoia,” “Mind Bend” (with more recent collaborator and Palette-signing, Justin Maxwell) “Voyager,” and “The End Of It All.” With dozens of singles and remixes to his credit, he has also produced full-length albums for Playhouse, Palette, Plug Research, deFocus, Moods and Grooves, Immigrant and A13.
