it's just my opinion about "On da Grind". The song got old after hearing it over and over on RAW. They should have used one of the bonus tracks and left "On da grind" off. Suge is using 3 tracks from RAW, and is paying Daz to use the songs. Daz is being paid, getting more exposure as a solo artist, and probably gonna sell more albums. So why is everyone pissed off at Suge? In the MTV article about Dogg Pound 2002, Big Hutch said they had material for 2 more albums, so maybe they plan on releasing more material and possibly saving the best material for last.
I mean, Suge has to keep using stuff from his EX inmates (people he dont even like) to sell records.
The reason Suge is using material from ex-inmates is because Death Row tried releasing solo albums without Suge's guidance, and they failed miserably. Look at the Lady of Rage's album, Daz's 1st album, and Michel'les album. They got very little promotion, video airplay (except for Daz, which "In California" was played once in a while), and all 3 albums combined for about 1 million albums sold, which was about 1/7 of what All Eyez on Me sold at that point This is why Miche'le Hung Jury was the last solo non 2pac/Snoop/Dogg Pound album to drop. He saw how his artists sold and told whoever was running Death Row not to release solo albums unless he's there. The 2pac/Snoop/DPG albums are a way to make quick money, but at the same time, he had to pay Daz, Kurupt, and Snoop to use those songs.
