Realest aka Tenkamenin - Back In The Dayz Bootleg

[XaNdEr]

The name on the release has apparently changed back to "Death Row Dayz."  Likewise, the artwork has also changed back to the originally planned album cover.  I know there has been some controversey on this site about whether or not these projects are worthwhile, or whether they're a rip off.  I'm not going to say anyone's opinion is wrong.  I know there are some people that can't afford to spend $30 on a cd.  And I know there are people that flat out just don't like Tha Realest.  And I understand where those people are coming from.  But there are a considerable number of us who have been supporting these projects, just because we want to see more like them released.  If this ends up being released and it leaks (which I'm sure it will, if it comes out), I ain't gonna hate on anyone who downloads it.  That shit's bound to happen anyway.  I'd just like those who might be interested to at least consider picking this up, if you've got the extra money.  It really will mean more unheard music, down the road.

Quality means money. These half ass releases don't mean shit to me, if Death Row puts out unreleased Dre material, Snoop material or whatever i'ma buy, i don't buy shit of fake 2pac clones and shit. I ask "nobody buy this" for the simple fact you don't get what you pay for. You waste $30 for some bullshit, just like the Kurupt EP. Period.

That's fine.  I respect that opinion.  If you're not a fan of Tha Realest, this release obviously isn't for you.  And I'm not one of those people who think $30 isn't a lot of money.  But, there are some people who are collectors and pay a lot more than this for unreleased music from Tha Realest or anyone from Death Row for that matter.  So this release may appeal to them.

Yeah but i have no idea why, i mean, what is so amazing about Tha Realest, he sounds like 2pac, he raps like 2pac, he is on the same label as 2pac, man i rather bump Me AGainst The World or 2Pacalypse now or stuff like that over Tha Realest, been there done that, you know. People try to cash in over some duplicated music made by clones, that's wrong homie, and you know it.

 Well, I understand where you're coming from.  Personally, I like some of Tha Realest's music.  But of course, I would rather bump 2pac, if it came down to the two of them.  Does Realest bite Pac?  Well, if you're a person who thinks so, I really can't debate that.  I could say well, "it's no different than listening to Ja Rule, Master P, Krazy, Blac Haze, C-Murder, or probably a dozen other rappers who either sound like or have purposely copied Pac."   But I can't say anything that's going to change you're mind.  And you're entitled to your opinion.  For that matter, if you dislike Tha Realest's music for any reason, there's no real way for me to argue.  Because if that's true, of course you're going to think $29.99 is too much money for a Realest cd.  Just like $15.99 would be, or $9.99, or probably free.  No one wants to listen to, let alone pay for, music they don't like.  The only thing that's debatable is whether or not this release is worth the money to a person who likes his music, or to a Death Row fan who just pretty much collects anything that was made from Tha Row.  I'm not going to say for sure that this is worth the money.  For one thing, I haven't heard it yet.  I think from the sound of the sampler that some of these songs sound better than anything else I've heard Tha Realest put out.  And I'd like to at least make this point; the price of a retail double cd at Sam Goody I think is around $25.99.  That price is probably a few dollars cheaper at stores like Best Buy or Circuit City.  So, I think we could say that this double cd is probably between 4 to 7 dollars more than a retail double cd set from the store.  So for those trying to decide if this is worth the money, I would bear that in mind, and listen to the sampler on the webpage, to help decide if you think it's worth the money.  If you decide it's not, you're entitled to your opinion.  I'm not going to hate on anyone who does or doesn't order this.
