Title: NAPOLEON (OF THE OUTLAWZ) - HAVE MERCY (Official Discussion)
Post by: Jay_J on December 30, 2021, 05:15:10 AM
Napoleon's album "Have Mercy" which was supposed to be released in 2005 but was shelved and never released. It was entirely produced by the late great Johnny J and finally it (part 1) will be released on 31th of December 2021 tomorrow. Honestly i'm not a fan of Napoleon as a rapper but if you see my profile photo u may understand why i am hyped about this. Here's the cover and tracklist below. RIP Johnny J.

Fucc yeah.. this is great news for Napolean fans, Outlawz fans, Pac fans, Johnny J fans...

...This album is really not that far from prime era, Napolean was still really young at the time and Johnny J was around, I remember reading about this release way way back in the day in Source magazine features or XXL, really happy its finally gonna get proper release I hope.

Will it be on ITunes?

Thanks for the info. Napoleon was always my favorite Outlaw & Johnny J's productions was always a perfect fit for 2Pace & the Outlawz.

Fast Life & Never Forget were always great tracks, can't wait to get the album  ;D

Sounds really great but it’s missing one song I was looking for maybe they couldn’t get the sample cleared but it’s “Patronize” like “turn down the lights, just hold me close, don’t patronize”

This is only part 1 of the album. part 2 will be released too later.

i liked "shine" most. good beat, big syke and classic johnny j kicks... pure early outlawz!

"approach you" has a familar sample from sabac's "fght until the end"... but with johnny j guitars and bass with a impressive chorus.

"sa raw" definately another pure early outlawz vibe and has late 90s gangsta rap.

"never forget" makes me feel goosbumps when i hear val young and johnny j on the chorus.

WTF!!! "True Outlawz" is featuring Bad Lucc!!!
Apparently he was called "Shane" back then.
Is it really true? Was he even around in 2004?

Yep. I analyzed the album sourced from Tidal. Lazy release from their camp unless the masters were lost.

"Ooh boy I love you so
Never ever ever gonna let you go"
