Never-before-heard recordings by the late Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and other Death Row artists are set to be auctioned next week.

According to New York Daily News, "thousands" of tracks will be made available to all interested buyers from former Death Row head Suge Knight. Forced to auction off his famed label last summer, the upcoming sale will potentially sell the remaining collection of songs which came with the deal.

Despite the interest generated from owning unreleased records from Pac and Snoop, an unnamed source claims the auction will likely face problems, indirectly from Suge.

"It could be a tough sale," a source told Daily News. "Some people don't want to go near the catalogue because they think Suge still believes it's his."

Concern has grown since Death Row co-founder Lydia Harris went public claiming Suge verbally threatened her by saying "You dead, b*tch" at a court hearing when she was awarded $107 million in a January 2007 default settlement case.

"I'm not scared of Suge," Harris told Daily News. "I think he knows I didn't do anything wrong."
As previously reported by SOHH, Death Row Records was sold for an estimated $24 million over the summer.

The unreleased tracks will be auctioned Thursday, January 15.
In related news, Suge escaped assault and battery charges in a case against girlfriend Melissa Isaac last month.

Suge's attorneys were able to convince a Las Vegas judge to toss out both charges against the mogul due to a "lack of production in discvery and the failure of witnesses to be subpoenaed."

No, I'm looking for the same info.

it would be interesting to see who ends up with the unreleased 2pac and snoop stuff. I wonder if Snoop would wanna purchase his own shit n then release it.

and if that 2pac shit will get slaughtered and then released?

whoever buys these tracks and tries to release them is just asking for a date with Afeni in a courti

if Suge, Daz, Nuttso, Spice 1 etc. all have problems releasing songs with Pac, surely the fools who buy these will too

sad sad world we live n



damn 75 year rule.  thats why any TV show and movies can use Bethoven or Mozart soings, they've been dead hundreds of years

Actually, due to legal stipulations the owners of Death Row can release a 2Pac album in cooperation with Amaru and Evergreen. Suge could have done that in 2008, if he had not lost Death Row already to the courts. However, they only had rights to certain tracks which the catalog still maintained.

what a perfect day to have some money.

Suge had involement w/ UTEOT and Better Dayz, but had to release it 50/50 w/ Amaru, both thru interscope ofcourse

He was able to put out a few things (nu mixx, the live album) but they no new material technically.  he got away with Late Nite and Who Do U Believe in but not surprisingly Amaru took them and put them on Better Dayz, therefore eliminating anyones need to buyi that worthless Chronc 2000 cd


Daz...we all know the Makaveli-Dilly cd deal...he stole masters from DR, mixed himself on them, took all the payments for it and then spent it all on crack.  meanwhile Amaru blocked it and made him hand over the masters somehow.

Spice1 cant release one day at a time og

nuttso's been waiting to release a few Pac tracks forever now

Treach from Naughty by nature was told by Amaru he had to pay ONE MILL to put out a 2pac collabo......that one may just be a net rumor


its too depressing to continue...Pac's vault has been raped

[the ghost]

This could be bad....who's up for a Jessica Simpson/tupac collab? No?,

 ok how about a Snoop/Justin timberlake oh whoops wait a sec...

therefore eliminating anyones need to buyi that worthless Chronc 2000 cd

That "worthless cd" is platinum and was one of my favorite compilations of all time.  Especially that "Roll Wit Us," "Gotta Love Gangstas," "We Dont Love Em," "It's Goin Down," etc.  That album is a Death Row classic and set the table for the second generation of artists who unfortunately never got to release their albums due to politics.
