DR. DRE - GRAND THEFT AUTO: THE CONTRACT EP (Official Discussion)

[AftermathBeats]

It looks like it was the plan from the beginning to release the songs a week before the Super Bowl together with Mary J Blidge, Snoop and what's still coming, not quite thought out that the leaks go out beforehand. The tracks are only released as singles in advance, they could also have released it as an Ep but the album space was kept free on purpose because they are only singles in advance

I wouldn't go that far and assume that singles were the purpose.

sounds good, but then mixed and finished!Most people dont played the Game and dont care about GTA!But when Dr. Dre put out new Music, they care!But if they hear that stuff, bad publicity for him

I don't know why but I still got a feeleing that this is some fake release nevertheless we have offcicial Aftermath Interscope edition.

I thought so too, this time the hackers did a better job! Dem Jointz was hacked too
all songs sounds the same like the leaks!

It is now also out on Dr.Dre's official Youtube canal under the license of Interscope. The last upload before was Puppet Master's video

So it's really official release? That crap quality sound?

[Orbyte]

Whenever new dre snippets leak they actually sound normal and not as bright as this release here.

I wonder if this is part of Dre's overthinking. He must be messing with the mix at the end and tries to make everything even clearer. So that his mixes sound "doper". But they don't.
This is wack. Nobody needs this.
 
This is good enough:
