Tweedy Bird Loc - 187 Ride By

Tweedy Bird Loc, with the help of Ronnie Phillips, began recording his solo debut album 187 Ride By in 1992. He was still beefing with Eazy E at the time; when Tweedy Bird Loc overheard Eazy on an interview saying that he won't sign Tweedy Bird to Ruthless, Tweedy Bird Loc felt very disrespected so he and his homies Big D Mark, Nini X and Notorious Joe wrote a vicious diss track aimed at Eazy and his manager Jerry Heller, and his protegee Kokane titled "Hoe is a Bitch" in which he attacks and criticizes Eazy of selling out, being too misogynistic towards women, and from Tweed's point of view, brown nosing off of his manager Jerry Heller for fame. "Hoe is a Bitch" would eventually be recorded on 187 Ride By.' Eazy E never responded to the track. Tweedy Bird Loc also aggressively insults the all female hip hop group H.W.A. Who were in cahoots with Eazy at the time. Kokane and H.W.A. never responded to the track either.

Tweed was also having a feud with Bronx MC Tim Dog for dissing Tweedy's city and the West Coast hip hop scene in general on his "Fuck Compton" track, Tweedy would eventually respond to this with his single "Fucc the South Bronx" (also a diss aimed at other East Coast rappers such as KRS-One), and another Tim Dog diss: "What's Really Goin' On". These are well known events in the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry. Tweedy Bird Loc also had a single from 187 Ride By called "Comin' Out the Cage". 187 Ride By was released officially on September 14, 1992.

Besides being a solo rapper, Tweedy is also a producer, He and Phillips organized the project Bloods & Crips: A collaboration of gangsta rappers who are members of the gangs, Bloods and Crips. Tweedy produced Bloods & Crips' debut release, Bangin' on Wax in 1993.

Tweedy Bird also helped produce Nini X and her debut album She's Dangerous.

Many other rappers joined Dangerous Records such as Fo' Clips (whose Just Be Thankful album was produced by Tweed), Big WY, Dogg, Pops and Lil Stretch, who formed the group Young Soldierz.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:

    De gustibus non est disputandum;Mthat is, there is no disputing against HOBBY-HORSES; and, for my part, I seldom do ... for ... I keep a couple of pads myself, upon which, in their turns ... I frequently ride out and take the air.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
