Happy 2015 DuBCNN Fam, while were on the subject of leaks, I wanted to get every ones take on Tha Next Episode OG that was originally set to be released on Doggystyle... Does anybody in the scene know if there is a CD Quality copy floating around out there? Has anyone here ever heard it in CDQ? What are the chances of it leaking? I feel little to none, im sure Dre has it locked up somewhere... But then again Crooked I got his hands on the instrumental so maybe the original DAT is still at Death Row.. This song could have been huge had it been released with the cd, definitely single material!

The reason a lot of the Pac stuff has seen the light of day is because people did legwork digging up reels, getting in touch with old producers, encoding said reels, bribing the people who are in charge of the reels to do illegal things, etc. It's a lot of work. The payoff is that then they took that material and sold/bootlegged it and made all their money back and maybe some profit to boot.The Next Episode OG CDQ is out there, whether it be on a DAT reel or whatever. It's just a matter of getting enough money together to grease the right wheels for the song to 'accidentally' fall into someone's hands who can leak it. There's a lot of individuals on the underground Pac scene with a lot of money that are able to make moves like this happen. There isn't anything like this for Snoop/Dre, so their songs are pretty much locked away. There's no incentive for someone to go through all this to make it happen. Everyone wants the song, no one wants to pay hundreds of dollars for it (including myself). Thus, it sits in a vault somewhere along with countless others. If you could get 200 people to agree to pay 100.00 for the song (20,000), you can bet the song would 'mysteriously' turn up.

If we could secure a copy of all the stems from the master reel for it along with those from the reel for "Doggystyle", "Can't See the DPG", and maybe another song so we could get them properly mixed/mastered I'd say deal.
decryption key?
My "source" is saying this is just a batch of remasters
