Yeah, yesterday they changed their forum's layout from the Danny Boy design to Crooked I's "Hood Star" design as well.  But as others have said, still no track list.  And the album cover that they're using in the promo doesn't appear to be any different to me than the one that was mentioned in the Sabrina interview as not being the final design.

i remember when they told us that the snoop lost sessions vol.1 cover was just a placeholder...surprised?

Its the same album thats already on the internet. At best they'll probably give us 1-2 songs we don't have, but I doubt that as-well.

I don't mind leaked songs as long as they aren't released.

Yeah, I heard from someone that there will be a couple unleaked songs on it, but of course, that's not concrete information.

Wide Awake is pretending that other songs don't exist. smh

 Well, no.  Not really.  But at least with Snoop's album cover they did re-position the lettering so it was centered, where-as the "place-holder" version had the name way off center and it looked horrible. 
 With the "Hood Star" artwork they made a point of saying that the Dynasty/Treacherous-era pictures were just place-holders, and that all the red color would be taken out of the final version.  While I'm not surprised this didn't happen, I do find it strange that they'd go into specifics of what things they were going to change, only to leave it exactly the same.
 What I do still find surprising is why they're designing new album covers at all, when they have the rights to all the original artwork.  Even if they wanted to go with the name "Hood Star" instead of "Say Hi to the Bad Guy," you'd think they'd be able to use a modified version of the original artwork.

Anyone else find it weird that Crooked supposedly requested all red removed from the cover when his own COB logo (on Planet COB) has red in it? Or how about the fact that "Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist" and "Block Obama 2" include tons of red in their covers.

It was that point in the interview that I kind of stopped reading.

II'll be buying this even if its the same bootleg I got in the car. I'd be disappointed yes but atleast WA releasing shit. We'll finally get a Death Row, Crooked I release

I hope the Sam Sneed album has more than that bootleg that popped up a couple months ago though

Yeah, I'll buy it too for the collection, no doubt. Doesn't necessarily mean I'll be happy though, ha ha!
