I remember there was a 1-900 number that was an info-line, located on the back of some of the Ruthless Records cds, around that time (would have been '95/'96 when the guy from Channel Six was the webmaster of the Ruthless Records website). When you called that number it had clips of various tracks from Ruthless. One of them was supposed to be a clip from an Eazy-E song called "Everything I Luv." I think there might have been clips to some Bone songs too though. Not sure if that's what you're referring to. That's the only phone number I can think of, but there may have been a special version of "E.1999" with a number on it, as well. Ruthless did some weird stuff back in those days. I remember reading that around '96, the website ran an advertisement for "Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin' Compton Volume Two," which of course, never came out.

I wish, but I'm not sure if any of them have leaked. You would think that in the 16 years since then, someone would have leaked them, but if they have, I've never heard about it. I'm surprised even the clips haven't leaked. You would think someone would have recorded them over the phone. But I guess, at the time, people probably assumed those tracks would have eventually been released, so they didn't bother.

I've been saying this since I 1st got here, Ruthless is letting E's leagcy go to shit without remixxing and promoting new music... Unreleased tracks like those are exactly what i'm talking about - E has so few unreleased tracks, they're gold - why have haven't they come out? Where the remix album of classic E shit, a la BIG, Pac, even Pun - love it or hate it, it keeps a dead artist name out there. I seriously don't know what the fuck those idiots @ Ruthless are doing. Where are the re-issues? They have a classic catalog, yet they haven't remastered nor re-released any albums in forever. Tomika Wright, really, truly, must not give a fuck.
