By the way I disagree with her...7 Day Theory >> All Eyez On MeThat's personal opinion though...
Those tracks that she talked about being left unreleased for a reason (not all of it was hunkydory-or whatever lol), that's a perfect example of stuff that would be great for website content (assuming their still making one **cough**cough**) If there are tracks that aren't particularly good (or at least not good enough to make money off of), they should put them up for free download (or at least, cheap download). While, I probably wouldn't pay cd price for a complete album of unknowns that aren't all that great, I probably would go to the website and download them. It would kind of be cool, from an historical perspective if nothing else (might shed some light as to what lesser-known acts were signed to the label at various points in its history).

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.

It's supposed to sound raw for a reason unless it was poorly executed during mastering. Not everything is meant to be polished.

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".
I think westcoast hip hop benefits from the extra polish where as east coast is that more grimey raw sound and doesn't need to be polished because it sounds better like that
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!
Ill be supporting all their releases if they do it right.
