"The Exodus" is sick! I dont see how people have overlooked that track
Damn, one of the worst releases i've heard this year.
^isn't it ironic that wideawake wanted to keep all the music original?

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.

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.
I mean, there are people on this message board that have a clearer understanding of what tracks were meant for what project. I can't believe they can't find someone who can at least identify the tracks by listening to them, if nothing else.
