? Of The Day: Interested In New Death Row Owner’s Free Mixtape?
New Death Row regime to drop free sampler mixtape at “Record Store Day” outlets
The new controversial owners of Death Row Records are looking to relaunch the brand by giving out a free CD sampler in celebration of Record Store Day. The label is scheduled to drop the mixtape at at over 750 participating “Record Store Day” retailers across the nation this Saturday, April 18. The sampler which is exclusive to the participating dealers will include three never released joints including Petey Pablo’s “Pay for the Pu***,” Crooked I’s “Hoodstar,” and Danny Boy’s “Do What You Do.”
So what no Snoop? No Dre? No exclusive never before heard Tupac from the endless vault? Record Store Day is a collective effort on behalf of the few surviving music stores across the country to band together to generate buzz and entice consumers to come back to the record store for their music needs.
So my question is eventhough the project is free, does FREE music from the reincarnated Death Row Records entice you enough to get out your bed to go the record store on a Saturday to cop it? For that matter does Record Store day in general want to make you abandon the conveninece of going online for your music?
Hell yeah. Every person ever signed to Death Row was above average dope @ what they did. So if they got free music coming – I want it.
I personally think and have always thought that after Chronic Dre pettered out. So fuck that negro. Tupac is the greatest, but man, I don’t need any new music by him. Heck, I was just thinking about Petey Pablo, never got enough of Sam and continue to like Crooked I, so this is a winner.
What they need to do is make it available online. Cause I dont want to go into a record store to get it.
Death Row and done skwat in ages. . . everyone who stayed with that label has been long gone and forgotten off main stream hip hop. No one is going to buy any of there stuff. Petey Pablo is prolly the only one who has a chance in hell to reincarnate his career. Suge ran that label into the dirt.
@ Nay Sayer…but that’s part of my point. The whole idea behind Record Store day is to bring back some that nostalgia of spending hours in the record store looking at cover art and track listings, sampling music. Something you really can’t do to well on iTunes.
no graci, maybe….
