Yeah, props on the sampler....i got Pop Twist, and it's tight...just hard to tell from a few 30 second snippets.

[Efrain]

I would love to hear some reviews from people who've actually heard every song from start to finish.  I'm on the fence about ordering it.

Me too.

Is the lady heroin w/ Sam Sneed the same as the one that leaked a few years ago? Can someone cut the first min of each song and upload it? That would be a good sampler, I wanted to check more of the songs before I ordered (like the sneed track, which you can't hear on the site). Or just get a really thorough review of the tracks, quality etc. 

[Soopafly DPGC]

Exactly....i was hoping to get some more detailed reviews than "it's tight, the whole cd is awesome, go order it".  Plus, I thought J-FLexx left Death Row around 1998?  I could be wrong, but I thought the Gang Related Soundtrack was the last Death Row release he had anything to do with.

Is Street Scholars in CDQ, or is it the same 32kbps rip that's been floating around for years?

[Soopafly DPGC]

From what i've read, Street Scholars is only slightly better then what's floating around the net and not true CDQ.  I haven't heard it, just going by what other people have said.

ITS IN WAY BETTER QUALITY THAN WHAT IS OUT THERE BUT NOT TRUE CDQ.....

does it sound like one of these typical "internet remasters" where someone normalises the audio then boosts the bass a bit?

[Digital Pimpin']

^^Probably is.

I think it's only a demo track anyway. Flexx said that this was originally going to go on Sam Sneed's album with a verse from him also.

Anyone find it strange that there are no main Death Row artist features on this CD?  And really, J-Flexx wasn't featured on hardly any other rapper's releases either.  Seems like regular Death Row releases always have plenty of features of other death row artists, but J-Flexx does not....almost like he seperated himself from the 'gangster' stuff going on at Death Row.

It's a little bit better but not much, hard to tell if somebody remastered it..staying alive sounds much better but its not cdq at all. oh well guess this is as good as it was gonna get quality wise for these songs

Ya Stayin Alive obviously was unmixed and unmastered so thats the best quality we're gonna get really. Everything else sounds great to me.

Flexx was pretty new when Death Row was big. He was learning the ropes and doing more ghostwriting and producing from 94-96. It was probably around '96 that he got his turn to rap, but you figure that on the Death Row list of priorities, a J-Flexx album was below Makaveli, Tha Doggfather, West Coast Aftershock, Tha Outlawz album, One Nation album, Danny Boy album, Nate Dogg album, and potentially Hammer and OFTB's albums. Not to mention that he was pretty far on the depth charts for producers too since Devante, Quik, Daz, and LT Hutton were producing a lot of tracks for the major artists.

The surprising aspect is that his production wasn't featured more around 98-99 when Daz was on his way out. He could have stepped in as head of production because of all the seasoning.
