First I would like to see fix'd wideawake's release. E1 should drop OFTB and LBC Crew albums with better mastering and some bonus tracks (even 2 would be great) + it could be limited version. Then release Sam Sneed' album with original tracklist and then start to drop some new shit.

Not too likely to happen.

I know it's just my dream. If their releases would be in good quality then I would buy all, but they aren't so I keep money in pocket :)
Maybe they should use Kickstarter to check how many people would buy new stuff.

Didn't Nate leave with most of his material anyway? I think "G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2" were both recorded on Death Row except for a few songs.
Yeah, Vol. 1 was recorded while on Death Row. It's the album that Death Row was gonna release back in 1997 but, was shelved. Vol. 2 was recorded after leaving Death Row. I think Nate Dogg sued Death Row in the later part of 1997 and won, while was why he was able to leave the label, take Vol. 1, and all of his unreleased material from Death Row. This was Wideawake didn't have no unreleased Nate Dogg except for him appearing on songs by other artists.

I was of the opinion that if they took some of that LBC Crew, Lost Sessions, "Relit" bonus tracks, and unreleased music from that Death Row boxed set and put it out on some of those double-dip compilations they worked with that they might have something.

I don't think Wideawake has put out anything close to those last two Death Row compilations that E1/Koch dropped before the label went bankrupt, "15 Years" and that "Remixes & Rarities" project.

I agree with you on that. The only problems about those compilations from E1/Koch was the fact that they didn't use the original tapes and they used MP3s as a source. SMH!

It's an interesting question actually considering there were about 4 or 5 Death Row Records songs recently used in the GTA V game.  I wonder how Rockstar Games managed to acquire the rights to use these songs and who they paid?

It's from GTA's wiki (they where hidden in game's files). For sure it's about rights, money or just Rockstarr thought it's enough songs.
EDIT That's how people know about future DLC in games - some files are already in and developers don't remember to delete them :P

Sam Sneed didn't want to release his unreleased DR stuff. Plus, several songs from og Street Scholars album weren't finished. Anyway, WIDEawake didn't suceed in managing the Death Row catalog, altough Snoop, LBC Crew, D.B. and OFTB albums were good releases.

Nate Dogg G.Funk Classics Vol.1 was release by Interscope, only a few copies before Nate Dogg got the full rights for his material. He re-released G.Funk Classics Vol.1 (and Vol.2) then with his Dogg Foundation imprint which was ditributed by Breakaway (19th Street Records, unreleased Death Row's Inside Out Compilation)
The spot got shook, it was hell below | Is that Futureshock ?? | Hell, no, it's Death Row !

The material on them was good but the releases themselves had their share of problems.

E1 own the entire Sam Sneed release as well as the other songs recorded for it. Some of the unreleased material he was already paid for, so E1 can do what they like with it

We will have to wait until the new year to see what's what

Yeah, I heard some copies of the CD made it's way around but, the album wasn't officially released here in the U.S. I had a Best Buy ad for the album. I think it was gonna be released close to the release of the Gridloc'd soundtrack. I think it was gonna be released back-to-back with soundtrack like how Death Row did in November of 1996 with The 7 Day Theory and Tha Doggfather release.
