Artist: Outlawz: mp3 download Genre(s): Other Outlawz's discography: Novakane Year: 2001 Tracks: 17 West Coast rappers Outlawz are known primarily for their standoff with 2Pac. It was on 2Pac's Makaveli album that Outlawz first came to the greater tap community's observance, appearing on a few songs. In 1999 they were co-billed on the posthumous 2Pac record album Still I Rise, granting them even more than recognition and furthering their short-lived affiliation. It wasn't until former 2000, though, that they finally got the green light to acquittance their debut record album, Ride humour Us or Collide wit Us. Featuring a overlay that located 2Pac's persona in the foreground, along with numerous references to the dead person legend, this debut made the nigh of Outlawz's reputation for existence 2Pac's suppositious protégés. Regrettably, the album didn't prove to be much of a success, and neither did the group's follow-up album a year later, Novakane, too released on the group's Outlaw Recordz label (distributed by Koch). While Outlawz no doubtfulness maintained 2Pac's West Coast thug/gangsta stylus, they alas were middling modal rappers in footing of skills and also often fell back on their 2Pac affiliation and descended into generic hood motifs. And it didn't assist that they weren't aligned with any of the West Coast's better producers. In fact, Outlawz weren't genuinely aligned with anyone on the West Coast -- not Snoop Dogg and his Dogghouse pack, nor the Bay Area picture centered about E-40 and Spice 1. Member Young Noble collaborated with Layzie Bone in 2006 for the album Punk Brothers, released by the Real Talk label. The label would release the Outlawz album Against All Oddz that same yr. |
