damn, wide awake is sitting on gold and they are releasing garbage.  WTF are they waiting for?  This to attract more kurupt fans so they can sell more older kurupt?  It should be the other way around.

It's not an ideal release for fans that's for sure.
They're probably just hoping to achieve some quick sales, no matter how few from material that's already been released by repackaging the cover, and playing around with the tracklist a bit. The fact that the 'reprise' is on here and not the original Kurupt version of One Thangs Fa Sho, shows that there isn't going to be any diss songs, which was a huge fan demand from Against The Grain and a let down that a lot was missing from it. They should have released the 92-97 Kurupt album though. Out of all the gems and hotter tracks to pick from:

40z and Bud
Go My Way
I Don't Bang
DPG 4 Life
Everybody needs to slow down

Some freestyle session tracks. Hell, theirs enough to do a full album worth easily, plus Dogg Food OG's and cuts, and other various tracks. Could have been a solid project, instead it looks like a re-cycled album

I like the cover but it def isnt right for the album.

What i dont understand is why they are re releasiing an album that didnt sell well and wont sell well again. Where as if they put out an unreleased album they would more than likely get sales from people who follow Kurupt (like on here) and pick up some new fans. Where as by releasing what everyone already has there losing the original fan base on this release.
Yeah, it really just doesn't make sense. Like I said, even if they re-released it as the same album with new tracks, it might get collectors to go out and buy it but why put it out under a different title with about five less songs from the original and a couple of new ones? I jut don't see the reasoning here. I mean, if they did some odd compilation of Kurupt material that happened to include a bunch of released ATG songs, it would be one thing but this one really has me scracthing my head.

What's this? The first WIDEawake release since Lara's departure from the company? lol.

Anyone remember her original idea for Feburary of the double Danny Boy album, and a Women of Death Row compilation?

I guess we could have chose albums of unreleased tracks in tape-MP3 format, or albums in CDQ of re-cycled material that we've heard and didn't particularly like the first time round all that much. I guess it's picking the lesser of two evils, and we've picked ours. I wonder what's next after this? A Snoop Dogg greatest hits compilation featuring songs from "Snoop Doggy Dogg : Death Row's Greatest Hits" and 2 unreleased songs, which will probably be B-Side remixes? lol

Are they honestly just not bothering to listen to the fans?

I've never been so excited, then disappointed.

On the released Against the Grain wasn't there a song or 2 that Kurupt wasn't even on?  I think it was either Bullshit & Nonsense or Slide N Slide Out.  I haven't listened to the album in a while.  I hope they put the full versions on because I think it sounded like Kurupts verse was edited out.

Against The Grain should of had "No Vaseline Pt. 2" but yeah, Death Row is dead. Just watch, It will die out soon. Oh well, least we finally got Doggystyle in CDQ.
