DMW tracks must have just been taken straight off of one of the Doggfather Master DATs and not even really touched. Same goes for the Doggfather leftovers that appeared on "At His Best."

It also made me think of that alt. mix of Street Life that leaked with different arrangements and some string work going on. Seeing as how it isn't on the below list of stuff that was sent out, and that it sounds kinda amateurish, it gives us a little more insight into the creative process. "Street Life" was clearly considered for string work; to the point that someone layed them down to see how it would sound (probably on a keyboard), but eventually the idea must have been abandoned for one reason or another.
why would they put up fake credits mentioning additional work by Big Hutch on several songs ? makes no sense except if they wanted to hype Big Hutch's work up and give publishing rights to an artist affiliated to their roster at the time.

Certain songs were remixed and touched by Big Hutch and a few other Death Row in-house producers like "Head Doctor". Certain songs were not and if you have Smokefest album that Snoop put out and Dead Man Walking, you can hear the difference.

For example "I will Survive" on DMW has added string work, different from the version Snoop released on Smokefest. Since DMW was released in 2000 and we know Hutch did work on the album, everyone assumed the "new" string work was Hutch, but in fact it wasn't. It was already done back in 96. The version Snoop released on Smokefest was probably a working demo he had, and not the finished one with strings in the DR vault.
if there was some pac-collabo(s) and some dope tracks that were left out it would sell more and this album couldve been a classic.why did the not release it with street life on it?i think it was a bad move to leave a song with pac out, any1 know the reason?
At the least this will dead some of those Doggfather "original version" conversations lol.
