"Hot One" was only a bonus on the cassette of Murder Was The Case.There's a Doggystyle Xmas edition too for those of you who didn't know:http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=861928
WIDEawake didn't do such a bad job on the first two releases, minus John Payne's shitty mixes, the tracks they picked. Lara and Payne both fucked it up. Egos and inner fighting ruined that shit. And John Payne's spending 10 K - 20 K a month.When I attempted to get up there. I brought them Darren Vegas, RBX, Chris The Glove, Colin Wolfe, Mark Morrison, Hoopla Media (Believe it or not), Jim Gittum, K9, Warlord, and more. Could've brought Danny Boy, Crooked I, Snoop, RC, Daz, Kurupt, and hell even Dre via D.O.C. to the table. They had the money to finance. If I was an adviser to DRR right now, I'd say financially, give Dre his masters for The Chronic and allow him to re-distribute it through Interscope but it's still got to have Death Row Records on the back and they split money on the licensing. In exchange, what the new DRR gets is one album of unreleased Dr. Dre and (if I was Dr. Dre - I'd say, let's put out a Detox boxset - it's now or never for that album - really. One Chronic, One 2001, One Detox CD/DVD, One WIDEawake CD. That's hoping for too much though.) I've heard a good bit of unreleased DRR Dr. Dre. It's not bad. It's cool. It'd be a good start if they promoted right and got Dre to pump it up for the release. That must be in agreement too. Also re-sign artists like Petey Pablo, Lake, etc. Just because they got dropped six years ago doesn't mean you can't run with them now. Hell, 2 Chainz is 42 and his music is still bumping.
Quote from: From Dre-Day to Nate Day on December 06, 2012, 02:24:52 AMthere's not really a future for death row, besides reissuing their best selling albumsThis is true. If we're honest, the only people who were checking for WIDEawake's releases were people like us who are hardcore DR fans and want to hear everything that was recorded on the label in its heyday. The average casual rap fan most likely never even heard of the company, and even if they did, they wouldn't have cared for the CDs that came out.The new owners of DR, whoever that may be, should focus on doing 20th anniversary editions of their big albums, seeing as in the next few years most of the DR albums will be 20 years old. They should remaster the recordings where necessary and reissue them with a second CD containing leftover material from the album's recording session, remixes and videos where necessary, and perhaps more inside the CD booklet containing information about the album and its impact.It would have been interesting to see what direction Snoop Dogg would have taken the company...
