Did the "Hour Of Chaos" version ever come out? A clip of it was shown in the "Death Row Uncut" DVD.

Post by: NewYork Pope on April 25, 2010, 10:15:16 AM: Death Row themselves had said it cost $600k to make. I remember that like yesterday.
Natural BOrn Killaz was $1 mil. Death Row was the first in Hip Hop to start putting up those budgets then BAd BOy and others followed.

Personally, I thought California Love was stated as being $800,000 to make. Back when MTV had some show that played expensive music videos and outlined the costs (specifically pointing out certain aspects of the video and what the approximate cost was to do it), I remember the total being around that much.

However, I do remember Hypnotize being a bit more expensive, which isn't surprising, as I believe they were both directed by Hype Williams, and I can see Puffy being eager to drop more cash on a video shoot for the lead single for Life After Death than Suge and Death Row did for California Love.
