The other interesting thing here is that "Poor Young Dave" song, a track we all know is "Nigga Named Dave," a Snoop solo track, but entirely produced by Dre.

That being the case, it's possible Dre is cool with WIDEawake releasing his unreleased production and/or vocals, he's just not cool with them releasing anything unreleased from The Chronic....

Or perhaps this is just a legal classification issue i.e. WIDEawake needs permission from Dr. Dre to release a "Dr. Dre" track, ex - "Hoe Hopper" or "Rat Tat Tat OG" etc. But maybe if the track is classified as a Snoop Doggy Dogg track (see - "Poor Young Dave"), and they have the clearance from Snoop to release it, than it doesn't matter if Dr. Dre produced it or even featured on it.

I could care less about "hoe hopper" and "rat tat tat" og to be honest, it's the Snoop Doggystyle era stuff that MUST be released.

What's going on here is Dre either 1) doesn't want unreleased music that he didn't feel was up to his standards being released or 2) doesn't want new unreleased music stealing Detox's thunder. That is reasonable for Dre's own tracks pre-detox I'll give him that. But I swear to God if he pulls this shit after Detox is released on the unreleased Doggystyle songs I'll drive to LA and pull a Suge Knight on his ass myself. We're getting Next Episode come hell or high water.

+1 that's exactly how I feel. Dre's got way too much on his mind with Detox.

What I think happened was that WideAwake originally was going to include unreleased Dre tracks on Re-Lit, then they ran into some legal issues. They said fuck it we'll put other songs on there that we don't need clearance for instead because they need to get a product out there to start generating revenue for the company and the Chronic was a good place to start, with or without unreleased Dre material.
