What happened to the NWA album we was supposed to get early 2000s?

[JustCKing]

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.

And to be honest, a lot of them Eminem fans were introduced to Hip Hop via Dre or NWA anyway.

If u remember, there was this NWA comeback going on with Dre, Cube, Ren and Snoop was the new member to replace Eazy. There was "Chin Check" off the Next Friday soundtrack, they made some TV appearances, "Hello" off Cube's War Disc and then nothing.... shyt would have been big @stomachlines

Seems like anytime something with dre and cube was supposed to happen it never materialized.I also remember cube signed with aftermath at one point and everyone remembers the helter skelter album that never happened lol.

would've been a failure.

I think it would have been successful but the old fans probably would have hated it.

 

[strictlystreet]

NWA without Easy?

They were going to call it NWE for a minute.

Is it confirmed they have completed songs as a group?

@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

since when does production alone make something a classic? do you use this logic with all albums, or just the ones where you have a an emotional investment?
theres a reason why the instrumental was poppin more than the actual album.

I see nobody else is willing to address the elephant in the room, so I guess I have to. i'll put it lightly.
sure the release of the album was eventful and all but in the long-run; dr dre 2001 & the "up in smoke tour" & all that stuff, was more of a commercial affair, along the lines of Eminem/TRL fanfare. more of a suburban classic than an urban one, unless you were on the west coast.

some people may get offended and argue me down about it, but it is what it is.

This is the same group that did an album without Cube.

didn't matter.

it wasn't ice cube's group.

yea. that would've pushed it to at least double.

it wouldn't have done Eminem or 2001 numbers tho.

I’m glad it didn’t release especially if Em or Snoop would have been anywhere near that project

I used to watch that shyt late nights on...was it USA, FOX, or UPN?

Didn't Ice Cube recently say that the NWA songs with Snoop from around 2000 were going to leak soon?

2001 is easily classic. That album is the album that really brought Dre back. Eminem's fanbase grew because of that album. It helped give credibility to Eminem in the eyes of people who weren't quite sold him yet. Dude was like at 2.5-3 million. Then the next album after 2001 does like triple that amount. Xzibit got a stimulus. There was Eve going back to Dre for production. Busta was going to him. Mary J. scored her biggest hit off Dre. All of these artists were huge off 2001 sounding production. Kanye bit the drums off "Xxplosive" and got his big break producing for Jay.

see this is one of the reasons why music went downhill. you typed a whole paragraph and not once did you mention the actual album and its quality.

was it an impact classic? sure.

was the actual album a classic?? HELL NO.

nikkas like Jay was doin double. Those same Interscope resources for those albums would have been poured into this. Double would have been a flop.

N that’s when eazy was still alive

dre needed someone like suge knight to bytch slap his ass into action. once he became a boss his work ethic dropped. i don't even remember the name of his album that has been "tba" for dame near 15 years.he got luck

he got lucky with eminem and fiddy post deathrow period or else he would have stayed as bum ass dre.
