| | 213 Hard Way CD 213 Discography of CDs
 (32 Customer Reviews)
On the intro to THE HARD WAY, the members of 213 ponder the state of West Coast rap, deciding that they should hit the studio and revive Left Coast hip-hop. Considering that 213 consists of the legend from Long Beach, Snoop Dogg, along with Warren G and Nate Dogg, the threesome is in a good position to make such claims.
On THE HARD WAY, the supergroup offers predictably solid raps over some of the best production of 2004. Everyone from wunderkind Kanye West to Long Beach veteran Quaze brings consistently powerful beats. The group displays an unsurprising penchant for straight-up R&B on "Gotta Find a Way," but, of course, it's in 213's traditional gangsta rap that the trio comes on strongest ("Absolutely" and "Keep It Gangsta"). A particular high point comes on 213's sly, bass-heavy reinterpretation of "Mary Jane," which features a hilarious intro by comedian Dave Chappelle as the song's indignant creator, Rick James. More than just a superstar union, 213 is a collaboration of artists who have worked together from a very young age, and this connection shines through on THE HARD WAY.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No best album for 2004! DPGC is here to stay
if you love that classy westcoast music, then you'll love this record. 3 O.G's and childhood friends finally come with the reunion of the 213 group which they started back before they signed with dre & deathrow records. the foundation of what is DPG spread its branches from the trio. this album adds a different flavor brang to the table. this is a classic in my eyes. i predict that this album will sell 3 million records. hopefully it'll sell 500,000 records for the first week like d12's album to go gold on its debut. DPG 2004 & BEYOND BABY!!! ~1~

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No DPG takin over 2004 and beyond!!!!
this album is hella dope!! alotta ppl been criticising this album too much, expecting another doggystyle or regulate. this album is by far better than any release this year so far. one disapointing thing is that it didnt have any warren G production. wtf was snoop thinking?... he got like if not the tightest producer from the westcoast in his hands, and he doesnt use him. what an idiot snoop is. but besides that, this album is hot! u can listen to the album the whole way thru without skippin any tracks. anyways, the next 213 album is gonna have atleast half of the album produced by warren g, so ya'll support this so they can keep droppin heat!!! chuuch!!

 $12.79 
The stunning title track provides the ultimate vehicle for Funkadelic's late and great guitarist, Eddie Hazel. This moving ten-minute instrumental has Hazel playing through many peaks and valleys, wringing passion from his six-string, and leaving the listener drained by its conclusion. Another highlight is "You And Your Folks, Me and My Folks," a song about interracial relationships ...

| | Theo Parrish Parallel Dimensions CD (2000) Remastered
Hard Way CD music
$13.45
This Ubiquity release is a straight reissue of the CD version of 2000's Parallel Dimensions, a full-length set of productions that Theo Parrish initially put out in a typically limited quantity on his Sound Signature label. The original double-vinyl release contained five tracks, with only three of those -- bizarrely enough -- included on the CD version. Six other tracks, either previously released on vinyl or brand new, fleshed out the disc. Parrish's shrewdest move with the CD version was the inclusion of "Summertime Is Here," a one-sided 12" from 1999 that is sweltering in every sense; the producer incorporates live sax, trumpet, and vocals to help make a blissfully exploratory cross between soul-jazz and abstract house that should be considered a Motor City classic, genre be damned. It foreshadowed where he would take his sound with the Rotating Assembly collaborations and is the central track here, if not Parrish's prolific career. This shouldn't take the focus off several other excellent tracks ("Anansies Dances," "Serengeti Echoes," "Violet Green"), all of which trade in the producer's patented gritty/clunky mid-tempo approach to house. The average track clocks in somewhere around ten minutes, allowing enough space for those all-important subtle changes to generate an optimum supply of intensely hypnotic music that borders on the supernatural. Parrish obsessives who already have the Sound Signat
Parallel Dimensions, Theo Parrish's first full-length of mostly new material, isn't really much different from the sort of midtempo abstract house tracks he'd been releasing on a series of late-'90s 12" EPs via his Sound Signature label. And ...
