The bootleggers aren't the problem here, it's the people running WideAwake.These people have absolutely no idea how to put a project together and how to release it which is a direct result of complete ignorance on their part concerning the Death Row Records legacy.Besides the poor audio quality (which I find forgivable in some cases) just take a look at the tracklists, artwork, album titles etc. I mean considering what they must have got in the vault it should be easy to put out the Death Row Inside Out compilation for example.The tracklist, artwork it's all there. Snoop's Doggumentary EP, Petey Pablo's DR album, Crooked I's album etc etc it shouldn't be too hard to release those the way they were intended to be back then. Their LBC Crew album was pretty accurate I think but that's about it. They should do alot more research before compiling tracklists and releasing albums, a compilation album from the 1999 or 2000 era for example would be great all it takes is doing some research on who was signed during that period and you could put together a pretty solid and believable DR album.

Like someone said before DR should have just stayed bankrupt, the bootleggers would have done their job as far as emptying out the vault so no loss there.I think bootlegging is one of the reasons their releases are so weakSome people are making money behind the scenes selling the good stuff under the counter I respect your opinion but disagree because if WA would put out the material people are yearning for and actually make them available in stores their products would probably sell more. By releasing watered down releases in piss poor quality they are actually creating a marketplace/opportunity for bootleggers to exploit. If they give people what they want it would most likely stifle the bootleggers but the way they are doing it people will actually buy from bootleggers because they seem to have a better understanding of what fans want as opposed to FastAsleep. here's the problem: it's a fact that these guys are bootlegging songs behind the scenes and have been since 2009.

And not just the normal stuff, Imagine all the stuff they hold that can NEVER be released or heard. Like Dre stuff, Pac outtakes and whatnot.All that holy grail stuff must be getting sold to top level black market collectors. Die hard Euros, Japs and WiggersI'm talkin G's overseas
