About All Our Unreleased mp3s

[imported_Big_R]

So it's no secret that leaked tracks have been changed. I just wanted to know, from people who know and not guess, which unreleased tracks have not been altered by the person leaking it? I don't know, I would just like to know what I'm actually listening to.

let me guess? all of them...

All my threads have someone making a joke out of it

And then I reply and encourage more....


but I seriously want answers for this

 

[dubk]

why do you care? The majority of the tracks out there were the actual OG with some tags. Granted others have remixed them with other people's vocals, but the OG of the majority of those do exist.

In all honesty, I think a very, very small percentage of widely available leaked tracks are unaltered, especially in this day and age of mp3s and downgrading (due to compression and stuff). The first two bootlegs I bought (East 2 West and some other one, both of which I still have, and were actually from someone on this board, haha) in early 1997 were ridiculously downgraded, but even in these versions I hear random things (background vocals, adlibs, ambient sounds) that I don't really hear in most of the mp3s of the same songs nowadays, even though they are in better quality. I forgot who I bought my second set of bootlegs from (Makaveli II, Makaveli III, Makaveli IV, Heaven Has a Ghetto, and a few others), but they sounded a lot sharper and some had the "mothafuckin' express" tags on them, which I believe Dante said were "ripped" from a cassette. (Feel free to correct me if my memory isn't totally correct.) The bootlegs started to have better sound quality through 1997, and with the rising popularity of mp3s at that time they got into the hands of many more people who fucked with them and remastered the shit out of them. So more than likely, the individuals (with direct connections to people who have had access to Death Row's vaults) who first started leaking the songs probably have almost everything that we have in CDQ final mix form.

i won't say most, but a lot of the stuff that leaked out on bootlegs was faded out early, and in rare cases larger chunks were removed.

almost everything motion and express got was through snail mail cassette trades. while tape drops quality, having dat to cd to tape isn't nearly as bad as 10 years of mp3 reencoding and "remastering."

True that. I should find all of my old bootlegs since they were probably all burned from uncompressed wav format since mp3s weren't as popular at the time. That's as close to OG CDQ as most of us will get since everybody has a 192 kbps encoded version of whatever song that was ripped from a CD though it was probably originally 128 kbps, yet people claim it's CDQ.

you know, the folks who have boots from 97 ish...wes hould get together and compile the best of the best so we all have the best availble quality, i got about 6 boots from 97, and only 2 of them are tagged by express, one of them is all pre death row stuff that i feel is excellent quality

every song that leaked this year from g litt's site was heavily altered for instance the end of don't sleep

Dante - I know its a daft question, but can you tell us what OG'Z you have in decent quality that none of us have?
Any chance of uploading?

i think dante has all the ogs full untagged in cdq! actually i am very sure! i know that the quality of the songs that have leaked in march/april 05 from the free 2pac bootlegs have been degraded! me, i am very happy with the ogs i have except fot tattoo tears but y'all know that already

no chance of uploading at all! lets just pray that he will sell them one day in good quality and with one tag or so!

peace

Dante - What tracks do you have that are not leaked yet? Can you give us some info on them? Sorry bud to keep pestering, just curious to know.
Since I joined this board, a few weeks ago, I have discovered a lot of knowledge that I never knew.

 

[Devious]

People have been asking this of Dante for years. If he hasn't given that information to those people, he's not going to give it now.
