O.F.T.B. - The Missing D.R. Files

[Efrain]

thanks for helping me decide to not put out the 3 volume 2 hour dvd recording sessions for One Nation and the Makaveli album. yes, those sessions were videotaped. thanks for fucking it up for all the real pac heads out there.

C'mon, you advertise these projects exclusively on the net.. Your entire "street team" is net kids posting and promoting on message boards.. did you really think these things wouldn’t eventually get posted on the net? And in all honestly, truthfully, giving people the opportunity to hear this via bootlegging has done nothing but:
 
1) Establish good faith in the people that released it, i.e. we can see you are intent on making good on your representation of the product (quality, format, advertised features etc)

2) Got people interested in future releases.

I know I sure as fuck wouldn’t buy the 1st bootleg release from any company no matter what they were selling, and evidently the majority of the people (here at least) felt the same way. But at least now people have the opportunity to see for themselves whether this is, or isn’t worthy of their money and trust in those selling.

Take some business courses for Christ sakes, most companies sell their first products at a loss or for next to nothing just to establish that good faith and confidence. Coming out the gate as an unknown, unverified company with no history existing solely in the shadiest of shadiest sales mediums (the internet) asking exorbitant prices … I mean really what did you think was going to be the outcome? Just be happy in knowing you’ll probably get 3x the turnout on project #2.

G-Litt and Dante do releases together as far as I know. Dante was the first one to announce The Sessions.

PLEASE, STOP ACTIN LIKE A FEMALE SAYIN YOU AINT GONNA RELEASE SHYT. YOUR WHOLE MARKET IS THE NET, YOU'RE NOT INTERSCOPE RECORDS OR DEATH ROW. I KNOW YOU WANT TO RECOUP THE MONEY YOU SPENT ON THE PRODUCT YOUR TRYING TO SELL SO DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF. IF YOU START CHARGING A LIL LESS MAYBE PEOPLE WOULDN'T LEAK THE PRODUCT.
SO WHEN YOU GET OVER THIS ONE JUST RELEASE YOUR NEXT PROJECT AT A REASONABLE PRICE
AND MAYBE IT WON'T GET LEAKED..................

the underground scene and selling in the net was made for people to sell their prodct cheaper,because all the money goes to the artist or the indie label directly,no major involved. You can buy cds of undergound legend artist by 8$ or 10$. So if you put out a cd by 40$,you would be fucked when you see no one buy that shit,and 2 weeks later is leaked. That's not good business. 2pac the sessions for 129$? Even with majors,I didn't see no dvd,no boxset,nothing at that price!! You will only sell 1,and we'll see the sessions on emule...

Be a businessmen,not a kid.

paid 40 DAMN bills for a cdr and a simple printed cover LMAO !!! that is worth 5 dollars nothing more

The T-Shirts and DVD's are being shipped separately. They did that so that everybody would get the album sooner. Also, the first 200 cd's weren't cd-r's but I guess 101 was getting hella backed up lightscribing them so he sent cd-r's out to everybody after that. That sucks I know but he said if you keep your paypal receipt you will get a discount on his next project if you were one of the ones who received a cd-r. It's his first project, he's learning from his mistakes and trying to make good on them. One thing you can't deny though is that the album is 100% cd quality, untagged and unaltered.

[brgardner]

Well I think "That Was Then" is edited 

[pinkito]

Obviously selling a cd-r with no artwork for 40$ is not only a mistake,but a fraud. And thank god the cd was leaked,so we know right now that king of things:it was a cd-r,some songs were edited...what a fraud!!

Poor guy,a lot of people who support westcoast will be ordering the cd if it was 10$,right now no one is going to buy any more copies,and we all have the quality cd in cd-r,but...with 40$ in our pocket.

He have to learn from his mistake. All things are gonna be leaked to the net sooner or later,so don't ry to fool people selling cds by 40$ or dvd by 129. You need to have your westcoast buyers happy,or you are gonna end like this again,man.

aaaah here we go, i was asking myself where was the hustler at, now i know...so it's a simple CD R lol
dude is funny
What about the "DVD" nobody knows what can we really expect with it?

[MIC]

I'm still wondering - why is it 40 dollars?

Did they have to pay for the studio time?
Did they have to pay for some big stars' guest appearances?
Did they have to pay for some top producers' beats?

Now I'm reading it's CD-R's with no artwork.

OFTB is getting the money from this shit. And as far as your questions above, they didnt get shit from DR, they paid, trust me....and  some of the producers are Johnny J, Kurupt, Tyrone Wrice, Sam Sneed, and J-Flexx I believe. This aint no bootleg, OFTB themselves put this shit out playa.

That's my point.
Why do they charge 40 dollars if they didn't have to pay for anything except burning CD-R's and designing their website?
