Death Row Vs DPG: Download War
smckeating by Scott McKeating April 24th, 2003
As part of the ongoing feud between Daz Dillinger and Suge Knight, Death Row record's website have offered for free his soon-to-be-released ‘DPGC: You Know What I'm Throwin' Up’ LP for all those who would wish to flaunt copyright records.

On Wednesday evening deathrowrecords.net posted the entire album (minus a Death Row diss track "U Ain't Shit") for a high quality download. DPGRecordz.com (Dazs' own label)responded by posting the entire recent Death Row release ‘Dysfunktional Family OST’ on their website with the comment:

“The version of the Daz album that Death Row leaked is not the final! The final includes 5 MORE SONGS and THA ROW KILLA DVD. Also, a majority of the songs have been remixed and remastered.”.

Death Row are well known for using their homepage to attack artists such as Dre and Snoop Dogg and have in the past offered Snoop Dogg material before it's release date.

So, a lot of name calling, two free (illegal) LP downloads; business as usual.

Back and forth, back and forth.
