How would Daz have the ability to let these Japanese labels release music that he had no involvement in? He's only featured on/produced a small number of the songs on the Unreleased Collection and the Remix LP. I think they're 100% bootlegs.

If I'm back in America in the summer then yeah I would like to get a physical copy of this album for the ride. When Dillinger and Young Gotti came out and when this album came out—I was actually confused by both. I bought Dillinger and Young Gotti when it came out, but how do you have a double platinum album followed by a release that just comes out with no fanfare, no marketing, no singles, no videos, no hype, and if it did have any it was underground. So I remember partly not being sure it was even a legit release, or something Daz just rushed together haphazardly. Because he was started to flood the game around that time the first sign of it was the album he did with JT the Bigga Figga and he still had some massive bangers left in the cannon for RAW but it was sloppily put together.So by the time the Death Row release came around the game was flooded at the time.Now looking back yes Dillinger and Young Gotti and 2002 are probably both Keepers that everyone should have physical copies to in their catalogue—but I got to go back and listen again when I can bump them properly from a physical copy in the ride like I would have when they originally came out.
Basically what we need is a list of what are confirmed DPG releases, Daz releases, Dogg Pound releases vs. what are just fanmade bootlegs. Even then though—some fan made bootlegs are actually pretty legit like the Dogg Pound Mixtape one of their DJ's put that together, right?
A buddy of mine provided this Tha Dogg Pound – DPGC: The Remix LP https://www.discogs.com/master/256881-Tha-Dogg-Pound-DPGC-The-Remix-LP back in the day and I loved it. I don't have a true physical copy but I've tried to buy it a few times on eBay and get bid out. Nice compilation of music on it. Love the Let Me Ride mix on it. I alwayz wondered if this was a bootleg.
