 Ended up making the trip (about a 2 hour drive) to the closest store near me that was participating in Record Store Day.  And to my surprise, I was able to find this.  I was a little worried though when I put the cd into my car's cd player and it wouldn't play.  I guess it's just because of how the tracks were encoded, because when I put the disc into my computer, it plays fine (and all 3 tracks are in awesome quality-really big wav files).
 Curiously, it says on the back that if you go to trysomethingnew.tv you can download more free exclusive tracks.  But after you sign up, it gives you one 21 second clip of "Gin and Juice." ( I thought that seemed an interesting choice if for no other reason than it's a very random choice).  I would still recommend going to that website and signing up though, because if you do, they say they will send you e-mails with updates from Death Row Records. 

**Also of note is the fact that the little dude in the electric chair is absent from the Death Row logo on here. Don't know if this is a permanent change or not, but if I had to guess I'd say that it probably is.

Did you get a physical copy of the sampler? If so does it have artwork? Is it worth me driving 20 min away to get one? Being a Crooked I fan?   If anyone else got the sampler, let me know if it has cover artwork

Can you post a picture of the cd and cover? is there arkwork for the cd cover or artwork on the cd? trying to figure out if its worth driving 20 min each way for

I'll try to post the artwork in a bit, but really there's not much to it.  It's done in the same style as the "pardon" pdf file on Wideawake's website.  Also, if you check out trysomethingnew.tv , it will give you a hint as to the style of the artwork.  Like I said, the little electric chair dude is now missing from the logo.  Pretty much the artwork is all text-black lettering on top of a tan colored field.  The "Death Row" font is the same as the classic style, just no electric chair guy.  Give me a few, and I'll try to up a couple images.

No problem.  Post them where you want.  I'm assuming since this was a free sampler anyway, Wideawake won't mind.

LSN paid $1300. Who knows how much DRF paid, I'm guessing more than he sold it for.

I was gonna say, I think I've heard that the FTP one was still supposed to go down, but I didn't know how close they were to sending it out.

Looks like LSN and DRF really dropped the ball then, WIDEAwake has started releasing music, FTP sending their copy out... Oh well...

I still think though, that when when the official version from Wideawake comes out, it will have a very different track list  than the one FTP was selling.  We still haven't seen the tracks with Jadakiss and Scarface.  And that track "Should've Made You My Wife," hasn't appeared on anything yet. Neither has the "Hoodstar Remix."

I don't see the logic in buying this shit from FTP or LSN or anybody else. Its getting released from wideawake now. People are prob paying double or triple its reatil price tag when it hits stores. people should just wait. Can't believe people were gonna pay $50 for a buncha mp3's that wasn't even a finished product.

Yeah.  That's the beauty of retail.  When the real one hits, it'll probably be like 10 bucks.

Man, I wish lol ...I could've saved myself about an hour and a half of driving.  I found mine at a cd store called "Slackers" in St. Louis.  I think it's just a Missouri chain though.  Unfortuantely Best Buy and FYE weren't participating....which sucks 'cause they have both those stores in a town that's only about 25 miles from where I live.  It seemed like most of the stores carrying these were smaller chains.  Except I do remember seeing that CD Wharehouse was participating.

Yeah I think the Record Store Day event was to celebrate the "independent music store" game, but a larger chain "Newbury Comics" in my area was participating, but said they weren't carrying it.

  Personally, I don't think the song is anything special either.  Crooked's lyrics are on-point but the chorus is kind of bland and non-memorable.  I think "So Damn Hood" or even "I'm So Crooked" would have been better first singles.  Even though there's nothing necessarily poppy or commercial about "I'm So Crooked" that might make it a cross-over hit, there is something really catchy about it.  I would say that "Hoodstar" is decent but not great.  And I don't know what they were thinking when they thought about making this the first single.  On the other hand this song was free, so I don't think anyone can complain too much.
  What did impress me about this release was the sound quality.  All three of these tracks were delivered as nice big wav files.  If this quality reflects the way their future releases will sound, then I will be very happy.

Yea, "I'm So Crooked" is fuckin' dope 8)! Been listen to this track for some time and the beat & lyrics on that joint are just str8 fire! "Hoodstars" is good but I've expected something more from it because that was supposed to be Crook's first single from his DR album...

I've been saying for a long time that Crooked I's post-Death Row material is better. He grew as an artist and expresses himself more freely now.
