Snoop Lost Sessions CD was originally MP3 files??

[acgrundy]

you know what, whether they are being shady or not, it sure as hell beats the shit out of the bootlegger prices that people been selling this stuff beforehand.

By what seven dollars? Lol. The O.F.T.B. CD went for like 20 dollars flat - some CD's were even cheaper than that for like ten dollars.

I don't know all the prices for every bootlegger cd, but I have seen some ridiculously high prices.  Yeah, OFTB has to be sold for $20, because NOBODY is going to buy that cd.  Other than hardcore deathrow fans, NOBODY knows who OFTB is.

[Dre-Day]

what about the chronic re-lit

[J$crILLa]

whats wrong with mp3?, lol

[Invincible]

whats wrong with mp3?, lol

Not sure if you are being serious, but mp3 suffer loss of quality as compared to wavs. We want the highest quality possible if we are going to pay out for it.

[cheesefry]

whats wrong with mp3?, lol

you can't turn a 55 mb file into a 5 mb file without some loss.  when you buy a retail cd you should never have to worry that the content has been degraded.

I feel an conspiracy theory coming up 

[scratch42069]

This whole thing reminds me of a punchline to a  "2 jews walk into a bar" joke, except the joke's on us.

[Biggzy]

i told yo bitch ass that u bein playrd for fools! doggystyle still sounds like the version i had years ago..

[Davizz]

Where are all the guys saying "I already have it, I can't wait for you to listen to this album.." bla bla bla.. fuck that, the music industry sucks.. Death Row is gonna fail again.

[DPG4Life]

what exactly does this mean regarding sound quality?

a whole lot! mp3 isnt lossless, and theres also musical compression involved, which is a technique to - lets keep it simple - louder the signal, anyhow, the original signal is gone, will never be the same.
also psychoacustic signals, that we might not hear is lost forever! some studio equipment magically can work with those unhearable frequencies, it triggers the effect differently, when its not there anymore.

professional mastering engineers, like brian big bass ALWAYS request WAV, or AIF. so if it has been mp3 inbetween means, they dont have the original source anymore.

its the explaination thing that makes sense.
but should it be released as a professional product then? i dont think so..
but the fans, we, are requesting this music, so they serve it. they shouldnt sell it though, if its not top notch produced..

[Nooc210]

I had to do it fuck a WIDEawake!!!

  fuck that this is an out-rage!!



ON THOSE WHO INSIST TO RIP US THE FANS OFF!

since they be braggin about their vaults and all w/ DATS & REELS, you'd a thought they invest in modern technology [http://flac.sourceforge.net/]to release this shit! but nooooooooooooo they think were dumb animals.

PM ME 4 those that want the official iTunes download, HQ 320 kbps mp3 rip of the CD/ BestBuy Bonus cuts. shit i should just post on here since some of the tracks are crapily sourced anyway!! damn they're worst than bootleggers at least they try to give you some quality...

say hello to being banned

say hello to the only person I answer to... MYSELF!! fuck off, retard!

It's so surprising invaluable assets never leave the house. I can't believe Lara visited him.

So now he will put RETAIL albums in SHITTY QUALITY and will be selling tracks in better quality as a bootleg lol,
back to the topic: it's really shame that it was mp3s, i was gonna buy it because it has a good tracks but now i don't know, maybe better for me to burn mp3s into audio, use LightScribe to do cd-cover, and print this shitty front and back cover and quality will be the same!

[Mob Figgaz]

even the free tracks they gave away in apple ipod format were near cdq
