The released catalog generates $1 million + in annual royalties. The only thing they will do is license the popular songs.

No reason to sit on it if there's even minimal interest

No reason to sit on it if there's even minimal interest That would be sweet but they would probably spend more money getting the stuff out there than it would bring in. WideAwake is proof of that. They really should approach the original artists and see if they want to buy back their own material. I think the original artists putting it out themselves is the most logical/feasible way to make it work since you don't have to get clearance from the original artist. The company didn't have paperwork for a lot of material so there were mad legal hurdles.
money talks at the end of the day and the Death row catalogue is unprofitable unless it was songs that where released and were real hits numbers wise who is the target audience 40 year olds lol?lets be real no one is going to buy any of this stuff today in age even if your name is 2pac newer artist already having trouble selling records as it is what does these 30 year songs bring to the table from a bunch of artist no one even probably heard of or weren't even born yet when these guys were out absolutely nothing this forum is probably the biggest fan base Death row has and 20 people isn't gonna change E1 mind there is absolutely zero demand for these songs wide awake was proof

If 2Pac was alive, he could drop a multi-platinum album tomorrow with Suge Executive Producing and all these newer artists would sit and watch in complete shock and awe --

If 2Pac was alive today he probably wouldn't sell shit either. There's plenty of legends who are still alive and releasing music nowadays and it all goes copper. The market's changed with the years, the artists themselves change with the years, hip-hop has changed too (going forwards or backwards is discussable).If people want to play pretend that this and that artist who was alive in the 90s will DEFINITELY be writing similar lyrics, discussing similar topics or even have the same mindset 20 years later, then so be it. To me, that's just delusional.
If Suge and Pac put "One Nation 2017" out (new tracks) tomorrow, whatever they do would sell and they would reshape the industry
-- they would feature E-40, The Game, and some of the disappearing acts like Xzibit and DJ Quik. They would CHANGE the whole game of Hip Hop. When I think of albums that Changed Hip-Hop I think of Straight Outta Compton, Chronic, Regulate (G Funk Era), Cocktales, All Eyez On Me, MP Da Last Don, Pain Is Love, Get Rich or Die Tryin, Stillmatic, The Black Album, etc. -- I mean these albums literally changed the direction of Gangsta Rap/Hip-Hop genre
Quote from: love33 on January 19, 2017, 10:19:32 PMIf Suge and Pac put "One Nation 2017" out (new tracks) tomorrow, whatever they do would sell and they would reshape the industry Absolutely no chance. People were waiting on Detox for years, why did Compton only go Gold? Why did it not reshape the game? How come Death Row leftover projects take ages to crowdfund on not one, but two pretty much Death Row dedicated websites?

What numbers did the last Wu Tang album do a couple of years ago? Onyx? Why is Chris Rivers (Big Pun's son) not blowing up when he is deadly on the microphone?!? I can go on and onPeople have got to stop with the ''If 2Pac, BIG, Big L etc'' were alive today Kodak Black and them (all wack btw, but that's beyond the point) would ALL be working at McDonalds''Sure thing, their legacy is great and they made a huge contribution to hip-hop, but none of that is happening nowadays.

Compton only went gold because it wasn't promoted .. Not even 1 video/single released for that project. A shame, actually.
