100% agree. Whoever I burn the cd for, always tell me its a gem.

he pushed it back because the source shitted on it....then he quickly went into his gangsta rap is dead phase.

Wasn't it the oposite, he said fuck gangsta rap after leaving death row, then went back to it after all his original shit failed at The Math. Either way, I thought this album would have been a Westcoast classic, but you gotta keep in mind, it was NOT the version that leaked. The actual album didn't have like any of the last 8-10 tracks on that leaked version, a lot of which were Dre productions. So when I speak of and think of that album, I always eliminate those last bunch of songs. Also, you guys gotta realize, this was NEVER released! A bunch of shitty bootlegs came out with songs from this, and he had an album with a bunch of these tracks on there, but Thy Kingdom Come was never officially released, so in that sense, the album never really happened. It's like calling The Reformation a calssic when it was never even released, but we have almost all the songs intended for it.

i also heard that source story...man, fuck the source!
so, if the "original album" had a completly different tracklist, than these bootlegs...what tracks was originally on it?

dre even says i think on his after,ath compilation "gagnsta rap is dead" if i remember correctly then when everything besides eminem that he puts out flops he reverts back to chronic mode.

but the aftermath compilation wasn't completly gangsta-free..."been there, done that" wasn't really new shit..

[Giesuz]

i`m interested in the original tracklist too.

[TDOT]

I'm pretty sure this is the final version that The Source reviewed:

There may have been an intro as part of track 1, featuring Ice-T on it, but that may have not been on this version.

01 - Speak On It
02 - Got It Locked
03 - Stay Down
04 - Squeeze Yo Balls (ft. Baby S)
05 - Money (ft. Dr. Dre)
06 - The Chron
07 - Big Boyz (ft. Too $hort)
08 - Let's Make A V (ft. DJ Quik)
09 - It's Ruff (ft. Playa Hamm)
10 - That's Drama
11 - Real Raw (ft. Sharief)
12 - It's Where Ya From (ft. MC Ren)
13 - Shake Da Spot (ft. Shaquille O'Neal)

the release seems legit to me.

i think King T was just calling it a bootleg in an interview to try to save face

well the message of the song was clear.
he was tired of gangsta rap. he already made that clear when he began working on helter skelter

But then why would it be released in an extremely low-key, overseas form . . . with a turkey-pimp on the cover. If King T wanted to actually drop this album he could have, and he actually ended up dropping his version of it in 2004.

King T never had that much success, so i'm sure it wasn't easy to find a label.

i'm convinced that aftermath let him go with songs, like hittman later on.
i could be wrong, but i don't see how anyone would steal so many songs & put them up for sale, without getting sued.

What I thought was that maybe King T sold them to some dude overseas and then put "his version" out a few years later. Who knows, although it's a shady situation and I don't know if I wanna believe him.

It's not a classic, but it's a really cool album. But I agree that it's blamefully slept on.
