I think this is the same one I heard a couple weeks back.  If so, I do remember her stating that "The Chronic: Re-Lit" album was still set for September 1st.  I also remember her once again stating that their Pac album would be 13 tracks.  And that she still intended to release a "pure" 2pac record (no heavy re-mixing).  She did say that she wasn't sure if the tracks at their disposal would all be fully unheard tracks or just officially unreleased tracks.  It was a pretty long interview, but those were a couple of the main points I remember that were covered.

dope interview, only complaint is way too much time spent on tupac material, she doesnt seem to know the songs so it was just a waste, but thanks for getting the interview.Her thoughts on tha realest were interesting.

I've only watched the first couple parts of the video but she says "Chronic Relit" will have 7 bonus songs on a second disc (DVD) but most of them are "limited release" songs. She mentions one with Dogg Pound + Rage and others, which leads me to believe that it will be mostly the stuff from the Death Row compilations like "187UM" and "Sippin' on Tanqueary and Puffin' On Blunts". She said the DVD will have alternate release videos of some of the songs and a few never seen interviews with Dre.

One thing that was positive was she said she was a big fan of Crooked I in paricular and that they were having lots of communication with him in regards to how his project is handled.

*She acknowledged that the "California Love" solo version existed and that they would probably release it eventually.

*She said that the 2pac and Johnny J album was a remix album and that it did feature Pac (not just a tribute album without Pac tracks).  Unfortunately, she said there were certain legalities which had caused it to be delayed (I'm assuming 2pac's appearance on the album is what she meant when she referred to "legalities").  She also mentioned that she had heard the "All Eyez on Us" album and she really liked it and hoped the legalities would eventually be sorted out so it could be released.

From memory, that's the best I can do.

No problem.  All in all, it was a pretty good interview.  But there were times where it seemed to drag, or where Laura Lavi's answers were almost drowned out by the music playing in the background.  Also, it sounded like at one point in the interview Laura Lavi dropped the tentative album title for their upcoming Pac album, and the 2pac Nation people intentionally drowned out the name by placing a sound byte of Pac yelling directly over that part of Laura Lavi's answer.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear that's what it sounded like.

According to the interview there would be 7 "rare or unreleased" tracks for Relit.. if that's true we will likely get at least two songs no one really has in good quality considering..

Here's my guess..

1.) 187 Um
2.) 187 (original) - Included since it was on the 15 years of Death Row and likely they got rights to use it or maybe still own the rights
3.) Puffin on Blunts & Drankin Tanqueray
4.) Let Me Ride (remix) feat. Daz, Snoop, & George Clinton
5.) Nuthin But A G Thang (Freestyle Remix on Bitchez Ain't Shit beat)
6.) Ho Hopper
7.) OG to BG - version on Chronic 2000 is a remake that Daz, Soopafly, & Kurupt did

The 187 (original) or "Deep Cover" has never been on any Death Row compilations. The version included on "15 Years" as a bonus track was the remix.

Oh, okay.  Thanks for clearing that up.  I can't really fault you guys if she asked you not to reveal it.  That makes sense why you did that then.

Yes she has it, big chances for this song to be releases on the Deathrow album. (Y)

On Tupacnation, there is a thread of Lara Lavi, asking the fans to post their top 5 unreleased songs for the album.
