So basically it seems like he’s saying that Rage wasn’t working fast enough to get her project off the ground. She’s kind of in that Dr. Dre pace of being such a perfectionist that you basically time yourself out.

[@mrkilo-g8794]

She probably had writer's block

She wasn't marketable like that plus Pac by the time they got around to her it was starting to be the Lil Kim Foxy Brown half naked/drug sex talk era that's what they wanted plus the rhymes she was a big girl clothed no heavy makeup she did better as an actress and is equally as memorable..IMO and it was impossible in some way she should've been the first artist to come out because for that little time frame when she first put out "Afro Puffs" it was still the "Gangsta B" era when chicks was looking like Onyx even MC Lyte(Ruffneck)that was her time looks didn't matter as much as talent by 95' it was "Sex Sells"

[@willforeverpubg4235]

She was very marketable !! She didn’t have to be anyone else but her. SEX wasn’t the only thing selling.

[@melvinhhcp3615]

Bruh, in 94 Rage was very marketable, especially coming from Death Row. If she dropped back then, she would've went plat easily.

[@necrophagiakc]

@@melvinhhcp3615 she wasn't every female rapper at the time were established Salt and Pepa Latifah MC Lyte and commercial she wasn't ..Da Brat was the only new artist and Jermaine Dupri was Gold at the time COMMERCIALLY so she was going to take that shine again for everyone who wanted to "Bounce to this" not hear ruff rhymes the 92-93 time frame she'd be platinum the Heather B Nikki D era

Not enough time.

[@MaadAzzGang]

Maybe they still wouldnt regardless if Pac came or not. Ive read that before that the distrubuters really didnt believe in Dogg Pound or much other than Dre & Snoop (and later 2pac) so it was difficult for them to get money behind the projects

Kurupt is telling the truth here. DPG & Pac simply outworked her.

[@JuneCarpenter35]

There's an interview with Rage on KZbin where she's speaking about this situation.

[@FBA_259]

There is no more to it, it’s simple. Rage was too slow in the studio and that is what caused her to not drop her album on time. She said in a interview her and PAC had argument about him showing up in her sessions and his words to her was, your album suppose to been 2 years ago, and she herself admitted that was indeed the truth. Afro Puffs dropped in 94, this was now 96 and still no completed album. 11 months on Death Row Tupac put out a double album, completed Makaveli, completed 1 Nation and had over 200 songs on standby.

My mom grew up with Daz Dillinger as he and his mom used to go to my grandmas house to get her hair done in Pacoima. She loved the way my grandma did hair so much she would come all the way down to the valley from Long Beach. I even got to meet his mom myself at her birthday party at Joes Crab Shack just before the pandemic. She recently passed a couple years ago. RIP Lynn.

[@davidwood8439]

Damn one or two more singles and film clips from Dogg Food would've been awesome. Rbx and Rage albums with the Death Row sound around the same time wouldve been cool too.
