Yeah. And when you think about it, they haven't released single project in it's original form, unless you want to count "The Chronic: Re-Lit,", but I count that more as a catalog, re-release than a new project. Instead of releasing "Say Hi to the Bad Guy" they released "Hood Star." They changed the title and content to Danny Boy's album. Their Kurupt album was basically just "Against the Grain" with one new track on it. So far, the Sam Sneed is the only album where they even kept the original name. It looks like the LBC Crew album is going to come out in it's original form, but if it does that will be the first one. They're also not using the original artwork for these projects, which is mind bogglingly dumb. They paid for all that stuff when they bought Death Row. But it's just sitting somewhere unused.Not to defend WideAwake (the Sneed release was awful), but the people that took over don't have any idea what project would be in its original form. I remember a couple interviews where they have all this material but a lot of it isn't labeled or mislabeled. I'm sure the latter projects (Crooked I, Eastwood, Petey Pablo) could have had "original form" but keep in mind there was never an official tracklist for "Say Hi To Tha Bad Guy", "Same Eyez On Me", etc.Enormous had a tracklisting though...I can confirm this.you know what it was or just that a tracklist was finalized?

It was finished in '04.
Just for clarification, which artist's project was called "Enormous," ?

Damn, I'm disappointed.. These new tracks are just straight wack - "Survivor" is the only one I really like. And why they put out the video version of "Lady Heroin" on the album instead of the explicit one
At least we got 3 tracks from the vault. That's the way I'm looking at it. I mean, Death Row could be nonexistent at this point in time but it's not. Unreleased material is slowly coming out and will continue to do so. We will hear the rest of Sam Sneed's tracks from the vault, I'm sure of it. Everybody needs to make sure they contact WIDEawake about releasing the rest of it, that's what Sam said to do.
It's WideAwake or nothing is what these people don't realize. We waited for years with nothing, so atleast now we are getting something
