Just got the Wal-Mart exclusive of The Chronic re-lit. First off, the bonus song "Smoke On" by Snoop is awesome, well worth the price of the CD alone. It's real smooth and samples the old song "Float On". It's only 2 verses though, but it's that classic young snoop sound from the Chronic era...sounds like it could have easily been a Chronic track. It doesn't say in the liner notes, but i'm positiive it was produced by Dre. Sounds like it came right from the Chronic recording sessions.The Walmart edition is only one disc. It comes in a normal plastic CD case which I prefer, rather than the cardboard foldout case that the regular Chronic Re-Lit comes in. There are supposedly 2 bonus songs, one is Smoke On, the other is Necessary Roughness by Rage, which was already released on her CD. Apparently Levi doesn't know this, as she continues to release Rage tracks as being "unreleased from the vault" when they were already on her album. Bad news is, all the songs are masked, they don't have any radio versions of the singles on there, which sucks. The masking is pretty bad and makes songs like "Bitches Ain't Shit" virtually unlistenable. It's kind of a ripoff too, in that i got the normal version with 7 bonus tracks and extra DVD full of stuff for 9.99 at Best Buy, but then Walmart, I had to pay 11.88 for this one with essentially one bonus track and a single disc. But in my opinion, the Smoke On bonus track is well worth the money.
Thanks for the review. Props for your dedication as a fan to buy both versions. So, in total, how many "unreleased" (whether true or not) songs has WideAwake released?3 track sampler from a few months back6 songs available from their web site when submitting to their contest7 From the Vault songs2 WalMart songs Smoke On and Nec. RoughnessAny others?
Well, thanks for the being the guinea pig, I'm heading to Best Buy to get my copy then. That would be nice of you to upload that track since most of us will not be buying that version now, due to your review, but if u don't want to it's all good. Good lookin' out though, glad I know which one to get now.
Is ''Smoke On'' explicit or clean also? And if you are planning to upload the track. Could you rip it in the highest bitrate possible?

I want to give people a chance to buy this, i'm not going to post the song the day it comes out. Also, it is masked very slightly. There's only 4 or 5 curse words in the song so it's not too dirty, and they do a lot better masking this song than on the clean Chronic. Just a very light scratch over each dirty word. You can hardly tell it's censored. Unlike the clean Chronic where there are huge drawn out scratches over each dirty word.
Are the censored parts reversed or do they actually add a sound over it?
WOW so we wont get access to the dirty version?wtf
