Sam Sneed's reply to Street Scholar Tracklisting

[DTG Entertainment]

I'm sick of wideawake and hyland insulting all the loyal death row fans intelligence. And all the artists that work with this mismanaged company should know what the deal is instead of doing business with them cuz none of their releases have sold many units. Sam should know people want to hear his old material that's all we know him from and waited years to hear it why the hell would we want to listen to his new shit. I like how he says i didn't think u wanted to hear the old stuff it was too violent what the hell does that mean were not little kids and he didn't think about what he was making back in the day as too violent i think its another case like dre of studio gangsters trying to put out an image they really aren't like most of these clowns today. that explains why he bounced soon after pac joined and the death row/bad boy beef was heavy he was scared. His songs production wise was great but im so sick of these lying ass phony rappers

Actually, he bounced because his ass got jumped by O.F.T.B. and 2Pac in an office meeting.

[haze410]

i heard about that i didn't know if it was confirmed or not. Hes just like dre a phony who tried to act hard

[dameons]

I'll support him ...SMH  at the" not wanting to release violent material " ...Bad sign. He might release a christian album.

I'll support him ...SMH  at the" not wanting to release violent material " ...Bad sign. He might release a christian album.

a christian album that randomy has "lady heroin" and "going hollywood" on it? lol

[EnzoUK]

why would he have his album all scatted in pieces anyway? its his only fukin album, surely he would of kept it all together, or just throw it on a CD 

[shoo]

Sam lies, he has all the master's to his material.

hmm i agree with this..

Schreibs is completely right on with this. We all heard the snippets. Sam Sneed is truly pathetic thinking people will buy that shit, just like the staff of WIDEawake.

i don;t understand. how the fuck snippets can be the proof? Snippets are snippets - not the full songs, so there is no proof these songs are finished. even if they're finished it doesn't mean he have these tracks.

I may be wrong but I believe there is similar situation with one of Knockturnal's track. Many people wants to here it but even Knockturnal doesn't know who has this track.... if im wrong then correct me please.

I suggest to calm down and stop calling man a liar because you don't know shit about his situation. It's just your speculations...

Absolutely. Some people go too far over here. I'm still expecting this album.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the reason we have those snippets in the first place was because Sam was shopping his Death Row album to Koch a couple years back and they leaked through somebody who was doing some work with Koch at the time. I believe they're pretty much finished tracks because his album was very near being released. Not sure if it hit the mastering stage but there's a video for Lady Heroin so that should tell you the album must have been really close to being done if they were already shooting videos for it.

Also, if you listen to some of the snippets you can see that some of the tracks are more complete versions of unreleased songs that we already had. Street Scholars with Dr. Dre & J-Flexx for example evolved into one of the snippet tracks. I can't remember the name of it. I think there was another one like that too. The only issue I can see is that maybe the source of the snippets was a cassette tape or something and he doesn't have them in full quality. But that wouldn't make sense either because he was shopping that album.

never heard about it. thanks for the info...
if that's true then these speculations may be little closer to the truth but... i'd be still far from caling him liar. If some of these guys are speculating then i will too.
What if selling this albums was equal to loosing some copyrights? I mean... if he sold that album maybe he has no rights to put it out anywhere else?
Yeah it would be strange because he is putting out some tracks from this album right now... but maybe these are the tracks he can put out.
Yeah it's just me speculating. What am i trying to say... i really don't see any reason why Sam would have to lie about this situation. I think it's not fair to insult him without any reasonable proof...

The starter of this thread wants us to make another question... what about asking sam about this situation? Is he able to clarify what happend to all these tracks?

It hit the mastering stage, that album is damn sure finished. Sam's lying to everyone when he says he doesn't have full songs. Sam doesn't have any right to have his album, he basically bounced with his masters illegally on some Daz shit. @shoo We have reasonable proof, should I pull up the THC thread?

That's not speculation, the dude's a fucking liar - no doubt about it.

yeah i want to know all the facts about this situation. i 'd be grateful if you hit me up with them....

Vault Access Volume 2

Initially conceived to be another video project, Vault Access: Volume 2 has become too exciting to wait for the anticipated video portion to arrive so we're pushing forward as an audio-only project. Again, this project reflects the ream efforts of Outlaw_Tupac, Dante and Prophet; and contains some very exciting items.

As part of a follow up deal with Kobane, Outlaw_Tupac was able to secure a DAT tape that was given to Interscope for the purposes of sample clearance. Kobane told us that he had no idea what was on the tape, but thought he remembered it to contain instrumental snippets of the All Eyez on Me album, however upon receipt we learned that it was not the finished instrumentals but rather the actual samples. Interestingly there is an unidentifiable Al B. Sure! sample which seems to represent an unleaked, unknown 2pac song. The contents are below:

Samples DAT

02 How Do U Want It.wav

13 Secretz Of War.wav
14 All About U.wav
15 Wonda Why They Call U Bytch.wav
16 Hit 'Em Up.wav
17 Tradin War Stories.wav

The tape was ripped into one file, so I have also gone in and looped each sample for about 5 minutes. Despite the initial disappointment, there are some extremely interesting information and material to digest. Still, it does disappoint that the real instrumentals were not contained. Unfortunately things would take a significant turn for the worse before looking better...

As I have posted, we made a deal with Scorpio of the Furious 5 (Grandmaster Flash). Outlaw_Tupac again established the communication and I spent a few hours on the phone finishing the deal. Scorpio seemed nice enough (for a now washed up nobody) but was unable to provide any clips of the song he claims he recorded with 2pac because he needed our money to transfer the master to CD format. As he seemed genuine, we pushed forward with the deal. Ultimately the song was sent via an email that was forwarded from Scorpio but was originally sent by Young Noble. As you already know, the song ended up being How Many Shots will it Take? The rip seems to be different than the old one nation bootleg rip, and so we've included the song and a remaster on the project:

How Many Shots will it Take?
How Many Shots Will It Take (Rip II).mp3
How Many Shots Will It Take (Rip II) (Remastered).wav

We sincerely appreciate the support you all gave us in recovering some of our losses. The amount of money paid for the song was substantial and to this day I still harass Scorpio and his manager for half of our money back and despite their incessant promises nothing will ever come of it - I simply want to make them have to endure my annoyances as a way to earn their free payday. After the second strike in a row we were beginning to wonder if acquiring new 2pac stuff was even possible anymore...

After months of negotiations and conversations with Nutt-So I finally achieved some headway. Nutt-So is re-recording a lot of his old songs and initially was interested in the ADAT material for the guest appearances. Unfortunately the only significant appearance was Lil' Big and Nutt-So was uninterested. I do think that be believed we had a ton of 2pac/Nutt-So acapellas to offer and when reality struck he disappeared for a long time. Thankfully I was able to work my magic with Charlie-O, who produced the Fastlane legacy remix of Geto Starr, and secured the 2pac vocals from that remix. The downside is that the vocals are one layer (no double layer), one verse instead of two, and the custom-made intro is included but no extended outro. I was able to re-create the Geto Starr OG acapella using a CPU genned verse 2 and a CPU doubles layer, which I will post in the Vault Access Volume 2 forum later. The icing came shortly after the acapella, as I was able to also secure the master files to the remix:

We felt pretty confident in things again, and fortunately so! Outlaw_Tupac resumed contacting people for possible deals and loe and behold, Sam Sneed was receptive to a deal. I got on the phone immediately and spoke for an hour about Sam, 2pac, and Death Row. The story goes something along the lines that Sam was finishing his solo album around the time 2pac came to Death Row. As Sam was working on a track in Room A at Can Am Studios 2pac rolled in and was amazed at the sounds he heard. Sam said that 2pac was jocking him pretty hard for a beat for his All Eyez on Me debut on Death Row and when Sam played him an instrumental 2pac immediately took the first thing he heard. What came of this instrumental is the song Immortal:

Yes, you see before you a full 24 track master reel of an unleaked 2pac song!! There are so many interesting things here that it's hard to know where to start. It seems that this track was the introduction to 2pac's Outlaw Immortalz concept, and in the song he also seems to debut his Makaveli alias, actually pronouncing it more like Mach-a-vally. Additionally, Fatal appears and is dubbed Fatal Komeni. As we all know Mopreme was the one with that Outlaw monicker, so it seems that he received sloppy name seconds after Fatal adopted the Hussein alias instead. Appearing on the track with a brief intro and one long verse is 2pac, then Fatal and Yaki, a verse from EDI, and finally a verse from Syke. There are no hooks, though space for hooks is present thus indicating that the track was left incomplete perhaps in favor of Tradin' War Stories later better fitting the bill of an Outlaw Immortalz posse cut.

The smoothness of the deal was due to Outlaw_Tupac's smooth words in the beginning stage, mine to close and maintain the deal, but perhaps most importantly was the prospect of us being able to help Sam finally release his Death Row album. You see, Sam left Death Row because Dre's departure fostered an environment in which he was not welcome so after 2pac and the Outlawz attacked him from the back in a studio room and beat the hell out of him (the Recognize video beatdown was a rumor he said) as a favor to Suge, Sam stole his master reels and left. I approached Koch with the project and they are receptive to release his album - perhaps even as the first project when they win the Death Row assets in late December. Included in the project is a folder of bonus files, containing 1:30 snippets of 11 of Sam's album tracks (assembled for Koch to preview) and more:

Hopefully we will get access to Sam's album's master files since we're essentially handing Koch the deal with no work required on their part. When you hear these instrumentals you'll see how great our 2pac exclusives would sound over these dark gfunk sounds (by the way Sam also produced Natural Born Killaz and Keep Their Heads Ringing but sold both to Dre flat out for $20,000 each). Also included in the bonuses:

The project is obviously a data DVD and reflects a LOT of work and investment on our parts. The price is designed to cover the investment costs and put a little extra in the bank for the next deal. We're hopeful that with some funds in reserve we'll be able to sleep a bit better with future prospective deals. We've already begun on the next round, so it's great to say that the end is far from near!

So now that you've read all this text, here's a preview! I'm sure you'll agree that this is one of the most exciting acquisitions to come to the THC.

A PREVIEW IS AVAILABLE IN THE V1 LEVEL FORUM

TO PURCHASE

This project and Evolution Disc 10 (Supplement 1) will be available for FTP download on December 5. We will also ship hard copies (of both Evo 10 and Vault 2), probably around Christmas. For the Euros who received defective Vault Access Volume 1 DVDs you will receive a replacement with this shipment. If we're able to get a cover from Pappa that too will be included.

Payment - $299.99

A forum for Vault Access Volume 2 has already been created and as you complete payment (or installments) your access mask will be updated to see that forum. Items like the re-creation of Geto Starr OG acapella mentioned and Immortal remixes will have a home there, along with some very interesting conversation!
