J-Dogg-4-Lif' Presents... Ruff Thugz Iz Da Plaze 2 Bee! Vol. 1 Compilation June 2002

1. Introduction: The Past
This is the Introduction of this Cd. I tell about how my first crew (Dah Naughiey B.O.I.Z.) started back in ‘94 with the joint, “Back 2 Da Eastside”. Then I give another snippet from the second album, “Tyme 2 Shine”. I changed the name because I heard some otha muthafuckas were tying to bite off our names. So I changed it to The Ruff Thugz. Instead of making a group album, I made it a compilation.

2. “The Projects”- J-Dogg-4-Lif’
This joint I’m representin’ my ol’ hood 1030 S. 12th Street. I lived there for 12 years in the projects. Now I’m livin’ in the E.S. of San Jose, California.

3. Ya Betta be Ready (Skit)-Big John
This be my dog, Big John. He’s the one who created the beats for “Face Off”, and “Introduction: The Past”. He’s tellin’ the Hataz to “Fuck Off!” and not to mess around with the whole D4L crew ‘cause we’re goin to mess ya’ll up.

4. “Face Off”-J-Dogg-4-Lif’
This one I’m talkin about the Hataz. I’m tellin’ them to “Fuck Off!”. ‘Nuff said, ya’ll gotta hear the song. I chose this song for the first single ‘cause many peeps were talkin’ about this song. They liked it. First I was going to make this song not released, but many peeps were sayin’, “Yo Dog, release that shit yo, that shit hot, beat & lyrics are hot, you gotta tell them hataz around to Fuck Off!”. I released this one as a single, the B-Side to it was “Last Round” also talkin’ about a Hater which I don’t really like.

5. Massive Ryder (Skit)-Fabian & J-Dogg-4-Lif’
My dog Fabian promoting his wear Massive Ryder. It’s comin’ real soon. He was the one who made the front & back cover of the Cd. It was one of his class projects for Multimedia.

6. “Bing Monsters II”-Ja Rule, Tragedy Khadafi, Headrush, and J-Dogg-4-Lif’
One of my dogs from the KVIP studio gave this track to me, so I can do the last verse for this track. Part I version is on Tragedy Khadafi’s “Against all Odds” album-It’s in Stores Now!. Track is hot!

7. “Think Ya Slick”-DMX
I just had to put a DMX track on it. He’s my favorite rapper. So I just gave ya’ll a little piece of the song “A Dog and A Fox” with Foxy Brown. “Think Ya Slick” might’ve been a good title for the chrous.

8. “Represent”-J-Dogg-4-Lif’
This was one of my biggest joint off my “2K1” album. It was my 6th single. The B-side joint was “Do It...”- It was too Xplicit-Joint may appear on my upcoming release “Jointz, B-Sides, and Underground”-it may drop on the same day as “T.C.O.B.1” album.
