I see it got pushed back a month. You got to love the world of rap music, where every single cd planned can't come out on time. Never the less, it's cool that's it's still coming out. Thanks for the update.

^E1 rarely ever pushes anything back. If they do, it's cause the artist isn't ready.
E1 is going to be caking that day.

That's if "Slaughterhouse" drops that day. Crooked I just said in that last interview, he's thinking that "Slaughterhouse" probably won't drop 'til August. So again, more delays....possibly.

Slaughterhouse got pushed back... It was pushed back to the 14th last week, now it looks like it might get another push back.
Joey said on live stream tonight that they are still deciding on the final date.

It was bound to happen with these four dudes though, LOL.
I don't think it will be too long though, it seems like everything is really happening with the project, looking like they are just picking the perfect day for it.

Oh, I know. I actually think they probably will drop it sometime this summer. It's just rap music in general. Almost every release gets pushed back multiple times. It's ridiculous.

The Chronic Re-Lit?
What kind of album will that be? Yet another "remastered" version?

The Chronic Re-Lit?

remastered by the new owners of death row with a few "bonus tracks" allegedely....i'm just PRAYING it's not "puffin on blunts..." and 'deep cover" LOL
-
I don't think it will be "Puffin' on Blunts..." and "Deep Cover" but it might be "Puffin' on Blunts..." and the "Deep Cover Remix" (can't remember it's name, just "187" I think). Or it might be the extended versions of "Dre Day", "Let Me Ride" or the other tracks which showed up on the singles.
-
i wanna hear "The Hoe Hopper" and "The Next Episode" in CDQ
and maybe the OG of Rat a tat tat

is there a HQ mastered of Puffin on Blunts?

Death Row, with it’s new management, is planning to re-release the classic Dr. Dre album ‘the Chronic’. In a recent interview the Senior Vice President of WIDEawake Entertainment and Death Row, John Payne, talked about the first album since the acquisition of Death Row Records. “We’re releasing ‘the Chronic’, and it’s going to be called ‘the Chronic Relit’. It will be remastered with a couple a more songs that were done at the same time as well as a lot of footage and artwork. We’re remastering it so that it works with today’s technology, but we’re not changing the mixes or doing anything like that.”
While the mixes will be unchanged, some songs might be extended with verses from other artists. “There are a couple Dre tracks that had no third verse, and we’re going to be seeking people to complete them. We won’t go to the entertainment realm. We just want average, everyday people.” Payne said.
A releasedate for ‘the Chronic Relit’ is to be announced.

will dre see any funds from this project?
-
I don't think the original "Deep Cover" will be a bonus track as I'm pretty sure it was done during the Solar days and Suge didn't have the rights to it. Hence why it's not included on any official Death Row projects.

it was on the Chronicles album released by death row
-
I'm pretty sure that was the 187 Remix and not the original soundtrack version.
-
pushed back or pushed in?
-
I'm pretty sure that was the 187 Remix and not the original soundtrack version.
thought it had both??
ill gotta go check it later i guess....maybe im wrong but i thought the 187 was a bonus track and deep cover was the 1st track
-
will dre see any funds from this project?
It's an official release, so yeah, Dre will get paid. Laura Lavi, the new owner of Death Row, said they won't release any projects without the original artist getting paid. So, it seems like that policy will be good news for a lot of the former artists.
-
will dre see any funds from this project?
he should or gonna have to. they seem to be willing to do biz the none Suge way. The lady did say the artist will get pay.

Did this part not bother anybody else? FUCK THAT. I don't even know what songs they could possibly need additional verses added too, they were all full length songs.

yeah this sounds like a dumb idea...lets have some random internet mc drop a verse on classic deathrow era material and hope people enjoy it...there goes the idea of releasin stuff in its original form ::)

OMG, i thought they wanna keep it real, this sounds like a horror scenario for me. if they really do this i am shocked
-
Lol. That had already been clarified by the label once. They said they're not going to put any of these fan-made mixes on the actual album. That was just supposed to be promotional tool, probably for use on their website (provided they ever get their website going). They had already clarified this point after the last barrage of angry responses from fans. lol

Congratulations for not knowing shit. They already said its not for the actual album, this was cleared months ago. Get the fuck off this board if your special Olympics ass can't manage to keep up.

Yeah. I had seen that when they put out that three track sampler for Record Store Day, but the website was so "bare bones" I wasn't sure if it was a temporary site or the actual official site. It looks like they have added two more music videos, but you have to admit that overall that's a pretty weak website, so far. Hopefully soon they'll either upgrade this site to something better or just start over.

Could someone rip those Nate Dogg & DPG videos from their site?

I've got a crappy quality rip of that one. The DR DVD version was better IMO, although the other one is a proper DR posse video.

Personally I've always liked the version that WIDEAwake has on their site better.

i'd never seen it til Wideawake put it on there site. solves a mystery in my mind as to where the "2002" inlay pictures came from.
-
The track "High Powered" from The Chronic will more than likely be extended to feature another artist, & I think we'd probably be surprised to what the bonus tracks may actually be
-
That Rage track is dope, never heard it before!
-
They better have the ORIGINAL CDQ MASTERED "Tha Next Episode" from Doggystyle on there god damn it. I'd but that whole CD for that song....been waiting on that for YEARS.

Maybe they could add a FORUM to their site, so they can see what the fans really want to hear instead of making assumptions.

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to include it on the "Doggystyle" re-release? Maybe with "G'z Up, Hoes Down"?
-

why would they extend that song

They aren't gonna extend "High Powered". Tampering with the original recordings beyond remastering would be counterproductive to the project.

Gz up hoes down was also on "15 years of death row"
its nothing special now that it's out in CDQ....why the fuck can't they release THE NEXT EPISODE OG? i dont care if it was meant for doggystyle it's still a Dre-Snoop collabo

Yeah. A forum is really the main thing they need (Provided, they check the forum from time to time, to see what the fans are saying). Other content would be nice too. I still like their original idea of putting up unreleased tracks on the website for pay download. But a forum really is the main thing.

so what is this relit business?
-
so what is this relit business?
It's supposed to be a remastered version of Dre's "Chronic" album with new unreleased artwork, at least 2 unreleased tracks, and some music videos. I believe they were talking about releasing it and others as cd/dvd combos, so I'm assuming the music videos will be what makes up the dvd part.

Well, I admit I don't know how much the casual fan will be into it. I find it curious that they would start off their releases with yet another re-release. I'm sure the completists like myself will be happy though.

Well, that's a tough one. Maybe they think by starting off with an album like "The Chronic," they're playing it safe since it's an already-established hit record from a famous
artist. You can't hardly argue that, but at the same time, there are going to be a lot of people who already own "The Chronic," and therefore won't re-buy it no matter how nicely they dress it up.
Personally, I think I would have tried to put out a full unreleased album first. N.I.N.A. might have been a good choice since Left Eye was an already established star, if the album hadn't leaked already. Crooked I's "Untouchable" album could probably have been a successful first release.
But, a lot of this would also depend on how well the label promotes the material. So far, they have only posted a website with very little content. I think whichever artist they choose to put out (first, or even for future releases), they need to have a website where they can post at least one single for each album, before it comes out. Plus provide a forum where the fans can post, so they have a better idea of which albums the fans want most. Laura Lavi and John Payne should probably also continue to do interviews, also to help keep people informed of when the albums will be available.
-
I'll cop this cause the copy of The Chronic i have has a cd cover that doesnt shut properly. Plus since its one of my favourite albums I wouldn't mind owning extra tracks and videos for it.
Its not like its some shitty album from some no name DR artist, its The Chronic people. A landmark album in music, period.

don't kid yourself. a crooked i record won't ever be a success. Left Eye on the other hand could be a big seller.
if the album is coming out on 07/07/2009, when can we expect a tracklist with bonus songs?

I'm not so sure about that, man. I agree with you that N.I.N.A. (at least if she's promoted as Left Eye) would be more instantly recognizable than Crooked I. But I really feel like a lot of what would factor into whether or not the album was a success would be how well it was promoted.
One good thing about putting out a Crooked I cd right now, is they would probably benefit from a little bit of unintentional cross-promotion from the "Slaughterhouse" project. I realize Crooked I still isn't an instantly recognizable name. But with all the promotion that he's been doing for "Slaughterhouse" lately, a lot more people know who he is now, than did just a short time ago.
A lot of it would also depend on the amount of time and effort Wideawake put into promoting it too, though. The one thing I think they can't afford to do, is continue to not promote their future releases on their website.
Another possiblity for a jump off release might be Petey Pablo, as he had already obtained some acclaim before recording material for Death Row. Of course, a lot of his Death Row material has leaked too, so it might depend on how much more stuff he had recorded that hasn't already come out.
-
i don't think that they could have commercial success with any record they release (even unreleased stuff). face the truth, 95% of the online community is leechers who push a download button (a free one of course) and the rest don't give a fuck about wideawake or deaah row anymore. the only record that could bring success is the pac album (if it really happens) and only with major distribution (so don't work with amaru on this)

fuck a nina or a crooked i album, give me Sam Sneeds album and we cool 8)

sounds kinda geeky.
lol
you gotta admit, it sounds really geeky. it might be something that chad vader would buy.
Well, I admit I don't know how much the casual fan will be into it. I find it curious that they would start off their releases with yet another re-release. I'm sure the completists like myself will be happy though.
what would you suggest they start off with?
Well, that's a tough one. Maybe they think by starting off with an album like "The Chronic," they're playing it safe since it's an already-established hit record from a famous
artist. You can't hardly argue that, but at the same time, there are going to be a lot of people who already own "The Chronic," and therefore won't re-buy it no matter how nicely they dress it up.
Personally, I think I would have tried to put out a full unreleased album first. N.I.N.A. might have been a good choice since Left Eye was an already established star, if the album hadn't leaked already. Crooked I's "Untouchable" album could probably have been a successful first release.
But, a lot of this would also depend on how well the label promotes the material. So far, they have only posted a website with very little content. I think whichever artist they choose to put out (first, or even for future releases), they need to have a website where they can post at least one single for each album, before it comes out. Plus provide a forum where the fans can post, so they have a better idea of which albums the fans want most. Laura Lavi and John Payne should probably also continue to do interviews, also to help keep people informed of when the albums will be available.
if they offered you a job would you take it?
Maybe. Depends on what job they offered me.

A Sam Sneed album would be dope, but I was trying to think of an album from an artist that might be recognizable enough to be a commercial success. While I hope they do put out a Sam Sneed album, I'm not sure if it would be smart to make it the first album they put out. Another possiblity is they could put out another full length compilation which had unreleased tracks from both the most recognizable artists (Dre, Snoop, etc.) and the lesser known acts. That might help make the casual fan more aware of who some of the lesser-known artists are.
-

That's the way I reckon they should do it aye, one big compilation with unreleased stuff from Dre, Snoop, Pac etc to catch the mainstreams eye, and then add on Dogg Pound, Crooked, N.I.N.A etc to gain some faimliarity
-
IMO iTunes/paid download is the only way they can go if they're out to make a profit of it. 2pac, Snoop & Dre are the only Death Row-names that could guarantee decent sales, every single other artist ever signed to the label is basically without mainstream value today, so paid downloads would defo minimize the costs of releasing the material, and maybe they could supplement with compilations...
-
Thats a good start for the new owners of Death Row I hope they
relase(or re relase) some more stuff. I actually don't own the Chronic so I
might get this.

putting out a CD > paid downloads

I've never purchased a retail download in my life

From a business point of view, it makes sense. They want to get the re-releases out there with a little extra bonus content so they can start making money off that property. Between the new fans who are just now discovering the album and the older fans who are looking to replace lost or damaged CD's, they want to be able to capitalize off their investment by releasing the most up-to-date definitive version.
I think Wideawake should look to the recent "Collector's Edition" of BDP's Criminal Minded as a good example of how to do handle this kind of project. They did one disc with the original remastered album and then a full second disc with bonus songs, remixes/instrumentals, radio interviews, and rare songs from that time period.
As far as all this "mainstream success" talk, Wideawake is in in good shape. It's not like they bare the responsibilty of breaking new stars. They have the material. All they have to do is deliver a product that satisfies the intended crowd and they should be able to eat very well off it. They're not gonna have to spend millions of dollars doing all that promotion and such and trying to get MTV to play videos.
-
I think sales are going to go horrible worse than wide awake expects. With the way the economy is, seriously how many sales do they expect, of a re-release of a 15 year old cd? Add to it, there is damn near zero promotion. I mean, how many death row fans are going to buy this? I know that a majority of hardcore DR fans are borderline psycho and willing to pay like $200 for a cd...but other than that handful, how many people are willing to shell out $15 for a cd that you already own? Especially when you know that you can just download the new songs that leak.
I want this dr music to come out...but as far as a business move...other than getting the royalty checks, I don't see how they are going to really be making much money off of this deal. And I hope that they don't have these super high expectations, only to become discouraged, and stop after 2 or 3 releases.

I think you underestimate it. What promotion does it really need? You think people don't buy re-releases of "Thriller" and all them old Beattles album twenty years later? It's not like they are looking for some first-week platinum kind of sales. They aren't going to be losing any money on this, trust me. There's always money in updating classic catalog titles. Re-releases especially with bonus content always sell. When you have albums like these (Chronic, Doggystyle, All Eyez), they are constantly mentioned in magazines, MTV, etc. When a new hip-hop list drops and they are on it, this is gonna spark renewed interest somewhere. There's a reason why these albums have been re-released about three times before and we had two different "15 Years Of Death Row" within a couple months of each other despite a previous "Best Of" being released only a year before that with nearly the same songs. There's a reason why Bad Boy put out a remastered "Ready To Die" with new songs and was still able to release a "Greatest Hits" with Biggie after that and a soundtrack with a lot of the same songs. This music will always be profitable. If I own the Death Row library and my call is between re-releasing the classic catalog and putting out new artist shit, from a business view, it's the biggest fucking no-brainer in the world. Same as people are still buying Motown songs, people will continue to buy Dr. Dre and Tupac CD's.

There's a ton of people who just got into rap in the last 3 or 4 years who dont have the chronic, it will sell well for a rerelease. Im probly gon cop it if they include mr offficer and hoehopper in CDQ.

With all due respect but The Chronic is no Thriller or any old Beatles album, those albums reach a far larger audience for the simple fact they have been around much longer and Mike and The Beatles have a much wider fan base worldwide so that comparison is a bit off I think.
Other than that I think Grundy has a point in saying that most people will probably download the (new) songs or whatever is gonna be on it, it's 2009 how many people you know actually still buy albums?
Personally I hope this whole thing will backfire on them (Wideawake) but hey that's just me...

You are talking about a different time era and a different age group of people. Most people who want this album, and some how don't have it, will download it. When thriller and beatles albums were released in the past, downloading wasn't as accessible, and it was a different age group of people. This will not sell a lot of copies, I guarantee it.
-
I will buy a copy or 2 if they put on 2/3 bonus songs. I own both the original CD, and the remastered version, but because time, and carelessness have degraded both CD's, I would like to get another, but have always found greater use for my money no matter how little I can get it for off ebay. If however, there was something like bonus songs on offer to perswade me, then I'd buy it.....
I predict 109,000 for The Chronic relit because no promotion besides magazine ad's will be given to this release, but it'll be enough to secure a decent sales figure before re-releasing the Doggystyle album

How exactly can you guarantee it? Was Ready To Die a different era? Was Illmatic a different era? Both these albums got special collector's editions and sold well. I'm also a little confused by your comment about downloading not be as accessible when Thriller was re-released. You do realize it came out last year? It came in #2 in the United States and went platinum in several international markets. The thing is "Chronic" doesn't have to do anywhere near that to be succesful. There is a reason why between D3 and Koch, Death Row released esentially the same material about a half dozen times in the span of seven to eight years. The stuff generates revenue. If people weren't buying the Death Row albums, Koch would not have put out a Dual Disc release of their bigger titles (Chronic, Doggystyle, Doggfather, All Eyez, Makaveli) in 2005, especially when there were already digitally-remastered reissues on the shelves. If this stuff was losing them money and taking up shelf space, it wouln't keep getting put out. New music needs to do big first week numbers because the labels spend millions of dollars between studio time, production costs, and promotional costs used to familiarize buyers with the product. Catalog music is a lot easier to push and requires a lot less on the sales side to be profitable. You notice how Death Row and N.W.A. compilations continue to be re-packaged over and over every couple years? Bad Boy has done it with Biggie. Rap-A-Lot does it with their more popular artists. BMG does it with all those "greatest hits" compilations (even the DJ Quik one). The classic music is always going to sell.
-
^ man those dual discs are the way of the future. I bought all those re-release albums. DVD audio is better quality then cd plus it looks sick when your playing it in your ride with a dvd screen when every track shows different artwork. Not to mention the classic video's.... Dual discs are the best...

This is a remastered version of the Chronic released as a cd/dvd combo. The set comes with the regular album plus unreleased artwork, at least two unreleased tracks, and music videos that were made to promote "The Chronic." It's being released by Wideawake Entertainment (the new owners of Death Row Records) and E1 (formerly Koch).
I believe the announcement was made a couple months ago.
This set is to be the first of many releases to come from the new Death Row (Wideawake Entertainment). Several weeks ago, Wideawake also released a free 3 track sampler for Record Store Day which featured three unreleased tracks from Danny Boy, Crooked I, and Petey Pablo.
-
what is record store day?
is it like free comic book day?

It kind of is like free comic book day. Participating record stores were handing out free samplers from different record companies.
As far as how "The Chronic: Relit" will be different from the 03 remastered, I would have to say the main difference would be the unreleased tracks. There's speculation on what the previously unreleased tracks will be, but there's supposed to be two. Also, I believe Laura Lavi (the president of Wideawake Entertainment) had claimed that she wasn't too satisfied with some of the previous remastering and thought that they could now do a better job. The album is also supposed to feature artwork that was made for the album back in '92 but was never released. As far as the video material, I'm not sure which videos they'll include and if the dvd will contain any other content.
I guess when it comes to how different the new version is from the previous releases, we'll probably have to reserve judgement until more information is available. I believe the release date is set for July 7th.

is record store day national? when was it?
-T
Record store day was a national promotion. Unfortunately only certain stores were participating and they tended to be smaller chains, which made it a bit of a drive for me. It was Saturday, April 18th this year. Next year it's April 17th. Here's some more info on it...

i dont think they want too.

I cant believe people are complaining about getting 4 unreleased Chronic tracks, only on the net.

I think they're going to do good with this. I hope the 4 CD box set is OG. If all goes well, I'll be ordering other product from Wideawake. The set back is a bit of a let down though. September? How long does it take to create. E1 are good at firing albums out

Yeah, it better be all original versions. We'll see if they ever get these released though, you never know what can happen.
