Quote from: Efrain on May 05, 2012, 08:24:34 AMNo matter what it’s going to be garbage. Even if they do have the original version of Every Single Day it’s going to sound just as bad as the original version of “OG” on lost sessions did; unmixed, unmastered, and no post production to bring the track up to par. The version on Lost Sessions compared to Retaliation Revenge and Get Back is NIGHT AND DAY. We’ll never see that level of quality from these people. Think about the version of Every Single Day on Dogg Pound 2002, Death Row brought people in to put the finishing touches on that track to make it retail release worthy: that chick singing the hook, the guitar riff, that background dude doing vocals, the track was mixed (vocals were a little too low), Brian Gardner mastered the album—that’s what needs to be done for every song. They need project coordinators bringing in musicians and producers and mixing engineers to bring these tracks up to par. Wide Asleep’s idea of post production is that fat hack John Payne throwing an old DAT tape in the oven of his dirty ass house, baking it for 5 minutes, then sending Robert Thompson-So an invoice for $20k and calling it a day. It’s so infuriating I can’t even stand it. Calm down. You only have one heart.

It leaked on a tape put on the TROY Blog:http://www.thetroyblog.com/2010/08/26/death-row-%E2%80%9Cdemos-rough-mixes%E2%80%9D/This rip is MUCH better than the old school one. This one is listenable (full disclosure: I polished it up a bit). It leaked along with the alternate version of "Niggaz Don't Give a Fuck" (which I tweaked a bit too)http://uploading.com/files/e3m6e6e9/Untitled1-64.mp3/(and here's an alt link for the "Doggystyle" above)http://uploading.com/files/d55m523b/Untitled1-63.mp3/The Death Row tap was demos and rough mixes.

Quote from: BC Powda (not the real Battlecat) on May 04, 2012, 11:06:14 PMits sad how bad they have destroyed their reputation by ignoring the fans and releasing shitty quality release after shitty quality release...especially after all the hype and promises they made...who buys a company with a specific fan base and then completely ignores that fan base in this social media era we live in? when you have the fans telling you specifically what they want on any fan board on the net? they are almost as bad running this company as Suge....Say what you say about Suge, but he cared about the quality of Death Row releases. That's why you got so much unreleased stuff in the vault... Suge did a lot of things wrong, but you can't put that on him - he would NEVER release some shitty albums WideAwake have put out, like that Kurupt CD which was a complete JOKE etc.

-killing a double platinum studio enviornment trying to be the next Nino Brown...
man fuck Suge Knight....he over-managed Death Row...he was a fuckin control freak. He made a ton of fucked up business mistakes and thats why he doen't own the company any more. He controled everything and had no talent amd no clue how to run a record label... heres a short list of some of his biggest fuck ups IMO (and im sure there are more:
-didnt sign Warren GHaving Regulate as a Death Row release would've looked good for the catalogue but he would've never got a release date. Plus Dre didn't work with him-never released Dre / Rage albumYeah that pesky All Eyez On Me album got in the way-never released a Nate Dogg albumActually it got released but got pulled for whatever reason-stopped Dre from making Chronic IILmao really? Dre refused to work. Pac and a few others spoke on Dre's horrible work ethic in those days.-never released Dre / RBX albumYeah that pesky Doggystyle album got in thew ay-scrapped Dogg ShitContract issues. Kurupt wasn't on Death Row anymore. Antra didn't want their biggest artist doing an album for another label-stopped his artists from working with other on artists not on Death RowI wouldn't say he stopped them. Those old labels (Ruthless, Death Row, No Limit, Cash Money) all did things in-house cuz they had so much talent-didnt sign Soopafly, Domino or LBC Crew but signed other unknown groups (who the fuck is OFTB?)Soopafly and LBC Crew were signed through Doggystyle/Death Row. You're mad at Snoop - not Suge. Agree on OFTB tho.-only releasing like one / two albums a year when everything Death Row touched was platinumSo we're mad at Suge for choosing quality > quantity? You have to give the people time to miss you. Besides remember when Master P released an ablum once a month from his artist? Most of them sucked balls-killing a multi platinum studio enviornment trying to be the next Nino Brown...Sad but very true =(-not kissing Dre's ass and doing whatever it took to keep him & Snooop at Death RowI think he had the option of keeping Snoop but Snoop without Dre was very Pau Gasol-ish: depressed, unmotivated, and a shell of his old self. He was a fool for not doing whatever it took to keep Dre. He should've paid him, bought him whatever, whatever it took. But on the flipside, if Dre was truely refusing to work then he probably felt it was a lost investment and rolled the dice on Daz, Quik, Johnny J, Barney Ruble, Kurt Cobain, etc being able to keep the DR sound going-thinking he was bigger than Dre & Snoop when they made Death Row relevant...Also true. He wasn't all over the videos and songs like Puffy but he very much tried to make himself the face of the label and give himself a mafia boss type image which was unnecessary-Killing 2Pac...Stoppit. The whole Suge setup Pac shit was the WORST theory. NO ONE is risky enough to hire a shooter to shoot someone sitting in their passanger seat. Besides did you hear what that retired LAPD officer said recently? He said Suge was so upset about 2Pac's murder that he orchestrated the eventual murder of Biggiethe reason there are so many leftovers and there is so much unreleased material is because Suge never relealized what the fuck he really had and didn't know shit about running a record label...i mean really how the fuck do you go belly up and bankrupt when you got Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Tha Dogg Pound, Jodeci, DJ Quik, Nate Dogg, DJ Pooh, Warren G etc all in the studio and all in their prime? sheer fucking stupidity...so again from the bottom of my heart...fuck Suge Knight...

Compare 92-96 to the Keita Rock era. Then compare 01-04 to the Wideawake Era. People can hate on Suge all they want but the dude knew what he was doing.

Oh okay.

Oh okay.If Keita Rock was there, on Death Row Records, Big Hutch was the VP. Daz lead some Death Row projects after the succeful years of Death Row. But when he left Suge Kinght & don't make any contract for a distribution deal between Death Row Records & Dogg Pound Records, a lot of guyz lead the label's projects (Reggie Devell Moore, or then KeitaRock Gotti...) but in 2000 Cold 187Um was here (he began to produce Crooked I) & start "Until The End Of Time" as Death Row Records Vice President. So there wasn't a Keita Rock era even if he was there and discover S(uge) K(night)G(irl) with Reg About Suge Knight, he manage Death Row Records releases very well (but not alone, for exmple, Pappa G). During the first years of Death Row Records, nobody don't give a shhh about Jewell, Danny Boy, O.F.T.B... even if they recorded some quality material over good productions. Dr Dre, then Snoop Doggy Dogg, then Tha Dogg Pound, then 2Pac. Some artists didn't success any albums and it was perfect. Now, some die-hard-fans want to listen thangs like Bloody Mary and more shhh... WIDEawake only manage a catalog.I only hope "Doggy Bag" to be as perfect as The L.B.C. Crew album (although it was a complete project in 1995).
the reason there are so many leftovers and there is so much unreleased material is because Suge never relealized what the fuck he really had until it was gone
