after listening to this interview, it definitely sounds like this Lara Lavi bitch knows what she's talking about and she's passionate about putting out the music the right way. but the other part of me is thinkin fuck her just for the hell of it and my loyalty to the original deathrowwith that being said, i doubt i'll buy any of their releases and download everything!
looks promising, I wonder if they got that LBC crew album? what about the Sam Sneed album?

I think she just meant that the production on "All Eyez on Me" sounded a bit more polished than on "7 Day Theory." At least, I think that's what she meant. If I interpreted what she said correctly, I kind of agree with her on that. "7 Day Theory" is an excellent album, but it did have more or a raw sound, imo.My only problem with her argument concerning mastering is that the polish sound is necessary better. It's supposed to sound raw for a reason unless it was poorly executed during mastering. Not everything is meant to be polished.That's a good point... I can point out non-2 Pac releases. People always say acts like Wu-Tang need to remaster their classic albums like "36 Chambers", well to be honest, no that wouldn't sound right. An album like that is supposed to be raw. Even the Biggie re-release of "Ready To Die". I thought there was something lost when they remastered it. Some of that 90s Hip Hop sounds "better" in the old format, more in the cassette form. Again, that's personal opinion though. I have to admit though, I really did like some of those remasters such as "Dogg Food".Remastering is really to be considered on an album-to-album basis instead of a must do for EVERY project.

hope they will release some nate dogg too
When she starts dropping these releases, assuming she does them right, go out and fucking buy them! This forum has been 50% posts about unreleased Death Row since the forum's inception. We've all bitched about this for years, and now our patience has paid off. So just go out and buy the shit, there's no excuse not to especially since they're doing everything the LEGAL way and compensating the original artists.
This may not be as easy as it sounds as some artists like Dr Dre had their own publishing, which means they also retain creative control. this stopped death row putting parts of its catalogue dre was involved with before... there was a lawsuit about some kind of burn on demand system a few years ago. dre won by saying that putting it out in another form was breaking his creative vision or something along those lines.. however. snoop was under suge publishing which is why they were able to do things like dead man walking remember even after he left for no limit, he dropped 2 albums which suge got loot from.. last meal was the last album that put money into suges pockets.the lbc crew might well not have been (as snoop did it all on doggystyle/death row).. suge wasnt keen on putting artists who werent on his publishing out.in short. just because you own the master tape, doesnt mean you own the right to publish it.
