As a Death Row loyalist I bought a few of the WideAwake releases. Snoops album released on WideAwake had some okay stuff, like I found the O.G. version of "O.G.'z" with the extra Snoop verses to be pretty dope. I'd been bumpin the Daz version from RRGB for years, and I'd have to say if completed the O.G. Snoop version is probably superior......but most of it was pretty forgettable...The only truly worthy release that was the quality of an album that could've actually been released in its era was the Haven't You Heard album. That shit sounded ready to be released. They probably would've needed to use the "Beware of My Crew" single to make it sell, but I think it would've worked. They shouldn't of lended that single to the Thin Line soundtrack, kept it for themselves, and they would've at least gone minimum of gold with how popular Snoop was at the time, and likely platinum with some promotion and touring.I mean the stuff Snoop was doing with LBC Crew in 95' was arguably better than the solo stuff he ended up dropping with the Doggfather album. It's clear most of this was done before Snoop's trial concluded. He was kind of shook after his trial and didn't really find himself again until the Top Dogg album (with many notable exceptions, tracks like "Ride On" and "Hooked")
Hood Star was better for me. Anyway didnt Hoodstar and Down & Dirty was mixed properly unlike other WideAwake stuff?
What project had alright sound quality?^^
What bout Sam Sneed's album?
