supposedly an O.F.T.B. album in July according to bomb1st.com. Admin at the official Death Row site said that whenever the newsletter is sent out sometime this week, it will say which album is being released next by WA and when it will drop. I'm hoping we don't have to wait until July but that most likely seems to be the case.

You'd think WIDEawake would be scrambling right now trying to find out if they have enough unreleased Nate Dogg tracks for an album. I'm sure there are enough songs with Nate Dogg singing the hooks (Nobody Playin Games, Every Single Day OG version, Crook In Me, couple of songs with him and Daz, etc). Not that i'm condoning they try to capitalize off his death, but as a business decision, an unreleased Nate Dogg death row compilation would sell very well right now. I know Nate took all of his solo masters with him when he left...but maybe an unreleased album titled "featuring Nate Dogg" or something like that. I'd buy it.
An OFTB album would be awesome too, as long as it's not just a rehash of the Missing DR Files bootleg. Of course, rumor had it they redid a lot of their vocals, so if WIDEawake released the OG versions of the songs, that might work too.
-
Interesting choice. Wonder how much of it is going to be rehashed from "The Missing DR Files". I was curious as to what other albums they were dropping; supposedly they had 6 other albums planned for this year besides Sam Sneed and LBC Crew.
-
from what i hear the album will be untouched, the og album will be intact not the re-done version

The album they were supposed to drop on DR, not the one FTP released, right?

I think Nate Dogg might have retained his publishing rights when he left Death Row.

WA doesn't have anyone employed with common sense, so don't count on anything you'd like to see released. We don't know if they could legally release Nate Dogg material, but I like your idea. I'd buy it.

nate dogg stole the master reels when he left. :D

Thought he got them via a court case.

Wonder how much different (other than the rerecorded vocals) the two albums are. By the way, there's nothing on Bomb1st about that album dropping.

Letdown #1 about this album: no original vocals.
-
Wait they went back and redid all their old vocals? Lol. I can't hate I kinda wish eminem would do that with some of his old songs.
Not interested tho. Other than "check yo hood" I was never a fan.
I want more crooked I or kurupt material. Unheard material!

where did they say it?cant find a thing on the site about it.
i hope they release something dope and not re-mastered version of "DR Files"
-
Not interested in this release. I'd rather hear some unreleased Dogg Pound material.
-
i'll probably support this...they should add "hot one" as a bonus track...and i know most of yall would agree...so lets start the petition now so they can do it ;D 8)

No kidding. Next to 2Pac and Snoop, excluding Dre since they can't release his stuff, Tha Dogg Pound would be the next logical choice for a release. They have plenty of vault material to fill out an album, and there's a lot of tracks we have been wanting CDQ for years like Can't C Me, Every Single Day OG, Let's Play House OG, etc that would appeal to us.

I would really like to know if Wideawake is in position to release some Nate Dogg material or if they cannot do it due to legal issues.
-
WideAwake is makin some weird fucin decisions.
startin to think they dont even have that much material in the vault after all..
wouldnt b surprised if alot of DATs are missin

I think he mean is there a difference in tracklist and the answer is: YES :)
Here's the full tracklist for the OG Death Row album:
O.F.T.B. - I Come Up Hard LP 6/6/97
01. The Day Room
02. That Was Then
03. I Come Up Hard
04. World Wide Stampede
05. Who Got The Hits
06. Looting
07. I'm On One
08. Check Ya Hood
09. Gone But Not Forgotten
10. What A Night
11. Mystery
12. It's Bad
13. Sooner or Later
14. Better Days
15. Programmed
16. Lost Souls
17. Do or Die
18. Body and Soul
19. Project Kids
-
is Gone but not forgotton the song with Kurupt, Napoleon, Kadafi and Storm on it?
the Pac dedication
-
Where in the world is the PAC ALBUM? I would figure that's the obivous priority and they havent dropped a thing since they got the Deathrow rights. Who cares about a OFTB? Especially outside of California
-

I think that Pac dedication is "Mystery" since on The Missing DR Files, that dedication was labeled "Still A Mystery To Me"

Where'd you get the tracklist? If that's accurate, then these are the tracks that have leaked or been released:
02. That Was Then
03. I Come Up Hard
04. World Wide Stampede
05. Who Got The Hits
07. I'm On One
08. Check Ya Hood
11. Mystery
13. Sooner or Later
14. Better Days
16. Lost Souls

19. Project Kids
Who knows if the others have different names than what was on "The Missing DR Files".

Well, they released the OG version of the song "OG" with Nate Dogg's vocals from the unreleased Snoop album, so they must have the legal rights to release songs that have nate dogg vocals on them. Now i don't know if they have any solo stuff, or if they can release it if they have it, but the songs that just feature Nate Dogg should be OK for them to release since they've done so in the past.
As far as the OFTB album goes...i don't think they can release Worldwide Stampede without Afeni's approval, correct? i wouldn't be surprised if that one is missing from the final tracklist.

yes they can, it was a guest app not a 2pac song
-
They still need approval even though it was meant for somebody else's album. I bet World Wide Stampede and Better Days will have the Pac vocals removed. I hope not but it seems likely.
-
Seems to me like Wide awake is running out of shit to release...seems like they don't have nearly as much rare and unreleased shit as they thought...either that or they bought but don't have the right to legally release it...
-
^ word. They made it seem like they had every unreleased song ever and we were going to get it. Then we get shit like a rerelease of against the grain and a crooked I album AFTER it had been leaked on the net for months and we were all clearly already disappointed.
Where's untouchable? Where's the 2nd dynasty row stuff? Where's the unreleased dre stuff?
-

either this or they have some COMPLETELY CLUELESS people picking the releases
edit: didn't Laura Levi bootleg the song Street Life?

the onlything I know is that they can't release the Dre stuff without him signing off on it
as for Crooked I they totally fucking dropped the ball on that with Hood Star. they lost my sale and probably 2/3 of the possible sales they could get by releasing shit that 95% of Crooked i's fanbase already had (as u said)

Pretty sure they can just as long as it's unaltered. It's the same agreement Suge had with Dre after he left Death Row.
-
I don't know what these guys are doing over there, so many missed opportunities.
-
I think it's more the people running it don't have a clue about all the material they have.

By the way, there's a post on Bomb First now about the album, which is titled "Hostile Environment"

"dont stop" dogg pound 2002 and "are u still down" with jon b immediately come to mind
thank god we already got the cdq version of Pac and kadafi in Worldwide Stampede
-
I really don't think it's like that anymore. I'm pretty sure every Pac guest appearance has to be cleared by Afeni now. I'm also pretty sure she gets paid off any Pac appearances from here on out as well. I think that's what kept Street Life from being on The Lost Sessions Vol. 1.
-
I think it's more the people running it don't have a clue about all the material they have.
I do too. I don't think they're even close to running out of material. But I think at least most of the people that are in charge are so far removed from any affiliation with the original Death Row that they don't even have any idea what songs or albums that people want to hear. I think they're basically trying to guess what albums people might want. I think they probably figured that people might want songs from Dre and Snoop but past that I don't think they really have a clue as to what they should release. I think Lara Lavi might have had a little bit better understanding but the people in charge now are way out of their depth.
-

I do. LoL.
No honestly, there's got to be politics and all kinds of stuff going on. There's no way in hell they would choose to release the projects they have, unless the most requested material either A) isn't physically available B) is a legal disaster.
Time will tell.

I'm not buying that...who the fuck would spend millions buying the Death Row catalog and then not know what to release? i think they got alot of useless or blank dats and they dont have most of the unreleased stuff they thought they did...or everybody took a page from Dr. Dre and started slapping they ass with court orders to stop the release of their music without their permission...who would release Sam Sneed or OFTB over a Lady of Rage or Dogg Pound cd?

Well, I do think part of it is finding the music because it seems as though the original Death Row kept bad records and didn't label a lot of their dats. I also think that when they bought the company, they spent the money, partly because they thought the Dr. Dre and Tupac (at least one album worth) material would be available to them. And that hasn't panned out at all. The only times they have released any Dre material they've gotten sued and something seems to have blocked or at least delayed the release of the 2pac album. I could be wrong, but I believe incompetence has to be a big part of it. I bet there isn't more than a handful of people over there that have any idea what they're doing.
-
By the way, there's a post on Bomb First now about the album, which is titled "Hostile Environment"
If that's the case then it's going to be another "Sam Sneed-like" release cause the "Hostile Environment" album was a new OFTB project that was going to be released in like 2008 and first single from that CD - "Bet U Never Rocked It Wit Us" was going to be released on FTP's second bootleg - "On Deadly Groundz" ---> http://natedoggworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/nate-on-oftb-s-on-deadly-groundz.html

I dont think WA care what dubcc think, id be happy with an original OFTB album the DR files was pretty good.
