Be good to know the exact technicality in relation to the 2Pac catalouge. IE: The All Eyez On Me, and Don Killuminati : 7 Day Theory albums. WIDEawake probably - in fact, more than likely wont be able to use OG versions of songs as bonuses on the re-issues should there be any, but may - at present time, be able to use additional mixes of the songs. I think they should leave the 2Pac re-issues (if any) later on, in 2011, 2012 to allow time to create a 'good' valued relationship with Amaru, and a reliance that they wont exploit the 2Pac material (even though that would be hypocritical from Amaru - the "alive conspiracy initiators") in the hopes that one day they could re-issue those 2 albums with Original versions of tracks, and a couple of cuts
dre probs thinks his old stuff will either out sell detox if it comes out or he doesnt want any1 to hear old verses that maybe are recycled
I think it's as simple as Dre not wanting Wide Awake making money off his work.
Well, only one who knows the reason is Dr. Dre. I hope who the fuck ever will get the next interview with Dre better ask why doesn't he want his old material released.
I always thought it was pretty obvious Dre doesn't want anything to do with anything DR related, not then and not now. And why should he, he has left the past behind him. Besides this dude takes ten years to do another album, his label isn't what it should be so why in the fuck should he be involved in putting out some unreleased songs from a time period he has left behind him a long time ago and doesn't care for anymore?

If profit isn't made I doubt Dre can do anything about it. Just say some hacked into their system and jacked. Once out Dre might be willing to sign it off seing that it's seen the light of day.

You can't just take somebody else's intellectual property and release it to the public when somebody else (e.g. Dre) owns the copyright (publishing) to it. It's illegal. Deal with it. The only way Dre vocals get released through WideAwake is if he sees them paying Snoop his royalties from the Lost Sessions album in October and begins to trust WideAwake enough that he lets them put out his old music. That's the only way. If they put it up for free on their Web site, that's a copyright lawsuit right there. It has nothing to do with whether they're profiting off of it.
