I can't believe how many people believe this as actual fact.

Suge ran shite in Los Angeles but outside of his blood affiliates in LA, he wasn't feared in other places across the country. (Luke & 2 Live Crew ran up on Death Row at Freaknik in Atlanta in 1992. That's why Luke got dissed on frick wit Dre Day on the Chronic album. Ironically, it was this small record label at the time out of the Bay Area named No Limit Records who interfered & separated both groups.)

frick wit Dre Day

Example: New Orleans rapper Big Mike was originally signed to Death Row in 1992 as a member of a group called the Convicts. The Convicts were two man group made up Big Mike & Port Arthur rapper 3-2. (3-2 was actually supposed to be the 3rd member of UGK but Pimp & Bun thought better of it because 3-2's wet habit made him unreliable. Still, he can be found on several verses on Super Tight & Ridin Dirty. One track he is on is One Day. The sample beat for One Day was originally done by DJ DMD for 3-2 but he gave it to Pimp & Pimp put his sound into the track. Bun B didn't want to rap on the track so Lil Keke was supposed to be his replacement but while in Houston to record Lil Keke's verse, a stop for Swisher Sweets lead to DJ Screw, Pimp C & Lil Keke being arrested for possession of marijuiana. Keke was probation & already sought after for a failed drug test. Back to jail he went & Bun B ended up on the song eventually like he should have to begin with.) Matter of fact, Snoop & Big Mike were roomed together in a house Suge purchased for Big Mike so that he could be in Los Angeles to record. Suge ended up putting the Convicts album on the back burner so J.Prince ended up swooping in & signing Big Mike away from Suge & Death Row. How did that happen? I thought everyone was afraid of Suge back then?

Big Mike returned back to the south & hooking up with Pimp C after running into him in Houston 1993 after Too Hard to Swallow came out. Big Mike then spent several weeks at Pimp's mom house (Pimp had a makeshift studio in back room of the house since high school. Both Too Hard to Swallow & Super Tight were recorded there. Master P's Break'em Off Something was recorded in the bathroom there too as Master P called at the last minute when Pimp C had broken down the majority of his equipment to move to Atlanta.) in Port Arthur as they worked on songs ( Havin Thangs for Big Mike & while UGK put the final touches on the album Super Tight) & got high off wet.



Havin Thangs

***side note***

The majority of UGK's Super Tight album was about getting high on wet. There's lots of references to wet daddy's & the green monster. It's Supposed to Bubble wasn't about Dom Pérignon champange. Dom Pérignon was slang in Port Arthur for embalming fluid dipped Swisher blunts. The bubbling part would occur when the dipped blunts would be place on aluminum foil & put in the freezer hence the line "Dom on ice" in the song. The video was shot in Atlanta during Freaknik in 1994.

It's Supposed to Bubble

"It's Supposed To Bubble"

Bun B:
PA, PA, and I keep yelling it
But y'all dont hear me though
On the cool, I'm trying to tell them it be
the place that I be laying low, lamping in my hometown
****z ain't trippin' so I get's to keep my chrome down
And I be dippin around the spots that n***** pass
Swisha's, serving to the fiends, calling me
Mr. Big Buns, snatching checks from your momma
Making dollars, hoes holla, hustling bring ya drama
Uh, but I don't sweat it fool, I come from where the best ride
Ain't no punks where I'm from on that west side
PA n****, outta town with big nuts
Where outta town motherfrickers lose they life on the cut
But we ain't trippin', pass that dipplin'
And it's gonna be all right, soon as I get fried tonight
Yeah bitch, I got ya ho, but ho I'll break ya knees
Full of Dom Perignon, Amp water for the Gs

It's Dom Perignon - It's supposed to bubble
It just be like that sometimes [x4]

Pimp C:
Well I'm Pimp C, bitch, I'm smoking big fat dank
I don't frick around no mo with that god damn drank
But everytime I get down with my n**** Big Mike
We go and get a bottle of that Dom on ice
I got that green monster baby can you buy that?
Plus I got Swisha Sweet for days, you wanna try that?
I roll them, most of them big and fat they look like ball bats
I live in P-A-T, the east side, n***** sayin' jack
These laws be trippin cause they think I'm selling much crack
They just can't stand to see a n**** roll in Cadillac
But I bought it in cash and I don't think that you can take it back
I feel like Goldie every day I think I'm living a Mac
And I ain't trippin flippin then switches taking a trip to the 'Backs
Cause my n**** D called me and said that bitch was gonna be packed

Bun B:
Yeah bitch, I got ya ho, but ho, I'll break ya knees
Full of Dom Perignon, Amp water for the Gs

It's Dom Perignon - It's supposed to bubble
It just be like that sometimes [x4]
