What do you get if you cross DB Tha General's classic intro with Yuma Nakamura's Japanese City-Pop hit Dang Dang? Seiji Oda donned his DJ hat and found out by blending both songs together on some Ron G type shit. Worlds are colliding and, unlike George Costanza, I'm happy to find myself stuck in the middle.

Is Town-Pop the new wave for Bay Area Rap? Did Junko Yagami's 1983 single Bay City accidentally predict such a crossover? I dunno, but Ezale would probably sound perfect over that shit.

Didn't even know City Pop was a thing until reading it on your blog. One for the pub quiz. Cheers!
R&B singers have used City-Pop to good effect in recent times too, most notably on Baby Powder by Jenevieve.

Did you ever see this?
Yep. Definitely deserves a place in the pantheon of home-made Rap videos.
Definitely need Ezale on something like this. Also I missed when Lil B rapped over weird production like this.
Ezale Tonite Show 2 produced by DJ Fresh & Seiji Oda with all City-Pop samples needs to happen.
I've been on a city pop kick for the last couple years. Started doing chopped & screwed versions for fun because I'm a goddamn hipster.
Didn't realise Screwed & Chopped City-Pop was a thing, but of course it is 😆
Just here to say that welcome to the navy is one of the best bay area rap albums released, shame he never quite reached the heights of that one again.
I'd love a CD copy of that album. Someone needs to reissue it.
I'd love a CD copy of based on a true story by shady nate
Hell yeah. D-Lo's Tonite Show too, natch.
The sooner these Euro CD repress labels run out of increasingly generic 90s regional G-Funk to reissue and move on to actual 2000s Bay classics/minor classics the better.
