It might've been a good idea at the time and might've turned out to be a good album. It would've did numbers just based on the hype of it being a "reunion" of sorts, but also would've gotten frowned upon with Snoop's addition. Still, it could've been something. Of course, it would've sold. Everything Dre touched at the time did numbers from his own 2001 to Em to Snoop to Xzibit.

yea but those sales are pretty misleading.

most of those sales came from either:
A.) Eminem/TRL fans
B.) fans from the past who were letdown, thinking that they were gonna get another chronic.

how many of these buyers would've stuck their necks out further for an "NWA reunion" album?? a full hour of bad-back daddy rap like "chin check", the stuff ice cube was doing and the majority of dr dre 2001?? no thanks. the only one that still had sauce left was snoop, but there was a huge backlash for him being in the group.

I mean, sure they couldve rode nostalgia and the iovine hype machine to a forgettable double-platinum plaque, similar to the firm flop. I don't think they wanted that. I know dr dre wouldn't want that. it would also put a microscope back on the real-time critiques of that 2001 album, which has now gone un-checked historically to the point where I'm speaking foreign to a lot of people right now.





ice cube suffers from the same syndrome as ll cool j.

they both had their glory days before modern-day hip-hop history began(late '93) and instead of disappearing and becoming old fables, they stayed relevant to a fault.

Stop bullshytting. An NWA 2K would've sold like hotcakes. The same TRL cacs who checked for Eminem would've bought this shyt in droves.

It's in the vault

With at least 50 classic albums worth of material :mjcry:

I been thinking about this for am I it's and was gonna make a thread about it. Let's just use Eminem as an example because it's the easiest

Regardless of his material post Eminem show and 8 mile. His flow was not to be fukked with in his prime.

How come they don't dig up some of those 100s of songs we never heard during his peak and release an album now. Nobody would know when they were recorded and everyone would say he's back to his old self.

Same goes for every other artist but Eminem is probably the most

What the fukk happened to him top artist in hip hop

I don't get it

Is it confirmed they have completed songs as a group? :jbhmm:

@Homeboy Runny-Ray 2001 was a classic then and a classic now. Maybe u didn't like it but don't twist the narrative. The production values alone made it a classic

Can't remember exactly where I read it from( I think it was snoop or ren) where he said they had recorded a lot more tracks

Dre and Snoop were filming The Wash in 2001 and Cube was filming 3 movies to be released in 2002 (Barbershop, Friday after Next, All about the Benjamins). Then Em came back with the Eminem Show and 50 Cent.

By that time, Cube fell off lyrically and Ren was in no business to do a full album.

Timing was the main difference
