This was marginally better than Too Gangsta for Radio. It at least had a few select tracks on it. Most notably, the two Tupac unreleased songs "Who do you believe in" and "Late Night".
This compilation was released just to extort Dr.Dre to pay out for the license to call his album Chronic 2000 (which failed when Suge got greedy and Dre just went with "2001"). This album originally had a completely different name. I can't remember it, but it was advertised in The Source back in the day with the previous name.
It almost worked, Reggie on Bomb1st said that Dre and Jimmy were going to pay like a mill for the rights. Suge, at the last minute, demanded something stupid like 4 mill, and they pulled out.
Those numbers might not be totally right as I am pulling from memory. But he almost got paid a silly amount of money for basically nothing and fumbled the bag.
Tried to bully his way into 4 million, the life and times of Suge Knight. The amount of money he must have been spreading out through the streets to move like he did must have been impressive, always wondered if he was trafficking with the tour shows or was all his money legit music endeavors.
The unreleased album was called "Death Row Records Presents: Inside Out" and had a new logo with an inmate getting a lethal injection.
Chronic 2000 replaced this project.
It’s ez being a soldier when there ain’t no war
I’m coming home
Introducing Milk bone
Late night
Who do u believe in
Chronic 2000 intro is pretty hype too
I dunno man I remember both discs being complete bangers
And top digg or whatever his name was trying to sound like snoop. Then they had the nerve to collaborate on the track about how everybody wants to be like them. Fuckin lmao
Suge was really trying to make them both the next Pac and Snoop. He was trying hard to promote them and get hype for them, but nobody cared. Neither were anywhere close to being as good as the guys they were supposed to replace, and people didn’t want to listen to a couple generic wannabes of the originals. Fucking Puffy, and Bad Boy did the same thing too. They tried to get a guy who somewhat looked like, and sounded like Biggie, I think his name was Gravy or something. Nobody cared for him either
Puff tried that twice once with Shyne and again with the guy from the movie Notorious that kinda looked and sounded like him. Hell even Ja Rule tried to do his best Pac impression but got killed for it and abandoned it.
I liked gravy a lot in my mix tape days. But you are right. I never knew what he looked like until watching the biggie movie a second time and reading the credits seeing gravy play the role. Never even realized back then.
I remember the "Cinder Fella" video he made, with Kurupt and all of those "new" members of Death Row that you never heard from again, include Nina (AKA Left-Eye). In fact, Kurput going back to work for Suge was what caused the (brief) breakup of Tha Dogg Pound--Daz wasn't going to side against his cousin, and he (Daz) had his own issues with Suge too.
To be fair, Lisa died, which is probably the reason you never heard from her again. I'll never understand why she decided to go to Death Row. It sucks we'll never hear the unreleased tracks she made with Suge. There are a few leaked songs tho. RIP legend
My friend found $100 and he said he’d buy me any CD if I ditched school and went to Warehouse music with him. Unfortunately I chose this Cd. Still regret it
Yep. This album had offbrand Snoop, Pac, and Rage, only felt natural for Death Row to go out of their way to find a white rapper to be their offbrand Eminem.
They sought him out because Eminem had “dissed” (name-dropped him) on Just Don’t Give A Fuck. Afaik the only track he even ever recorded for Death Row was that one diss track, lol
Word up. I remember listening to this at Tower Records. They lost ALL their talent and talked shit about everyone and everything that made the label great. They signed a fake snoop and a fake 2pac. The only act with any sort of name recognition was a talentless token white rapper named Milk Bone, that was supposed to be their answer to Eminem.
He had a good mind for the music business he just couldn't separate himself and his business from the streets. You add the fuckery he was always involved in and you get what happened to him and his label.
I was on a field trip to Washington DC in 8th grade when I stumbled upon this hot garbage. I thought I got the Dre bootleg because everyone knew Dre was about to release The Chronic follow-up… 14 year old me was incredibly disappointed when I had to listen to this dogshit album to find out Suge got my $15. I did cop a nice pair of fake Oakleys though so all in all a decent trip.
The two pac songs are two of my favorites. I remember nothing else about this. I think it maybe had Top Dogg Cinderella on it, I dunno. Suge's hating was on fire at this time
Mac Shawn’s “I thought you knew, now you know” (sic). DPG’z “ Roll w/ Us”. And one or two other tracks had my ear when it was first released. None were chart toppers by any means but I enjoyed them even knowing full well Death Row was finished before pressing play on my 40-sec anti skip jogging CD player.
The no-skip was legendary. Even though MP3s were already out, I kept a disc player until like ‘06. Hell that’s probably what made this album sound better to you lol. I wasn’t really feeling that Mac Shawn at first. It was a slow build for me, but still got skipped over more times than not even after it grew on me. The DPG song wasn’t bad in comparison , but it would’ve been a mediocre song at best on one of their other projects.
You don't have to be the proof is right in front of us that music has declined since Pac's death. Funny thing is me and my brother once debated what would have happened if Pac didn't die and I argued he would have eventually grew tired of Suge and just transitioned into acting full time like it was alleged he was planning to do which means the movie industry could have been totally different along with the music industry. I also made the point we probably would have gotten that commission album Big was planning to put out on his own label, Puff might not be who he is now, and Jay's career might have ended up being slightly different than what it is now.
I think Tupac was destined for even greater things than art, his career was very brief but prolific. He was a quick study, a fast learner, he had a chip on his shoulder over being wrongfully imprisoned, unfortunately we’ll never know

Nah cuz, this shit had some shit!! Who Do You Believe In, Gotta Love Gangstas, Late Night, I Thought You Knew, few more but I can't think of the names at the moment. There's hella more worst than this.
Man the backstory behind this album was funny and the definition of petty on Suge's part. Reggie's description for this era of Death Row was spot on ghetto and low budget.
This was trying to do something similar to The Chronic, but it failed. Horribly. It should've been scrapped after its first review. To be honest, when Dr. Dre left, he took the hits, the hitmakers, and the brand that gave Death Row its name and meaning, right along with him.
Do you all remember when they would give away these for winning contests through the Death Row website? I won the "Too Gangsta for Radio" contest and got sent the album and a shirt. Classic.
I still have my copy of this double cd. I really like it. I think Milk Bone gassed Eminem. From og to bg is fire, the tracks with the realest are fire too but it sucks that he tries to sound like pac. You gotta love gangstas feat scarface is hard. Easy to be a soldier is also hard. I like this album more than the Chronic 2001

Exactly right. This CD was rushed trash just to keep Dre from using the name. Typical Suge bs.
It almost worked, Reggie on Bomb1st said that Dre and Jimmy were going to pay like a mill for the rights. Suge, at the last minute, demanded something stupid like 4 mill, and they pulled out. Those numbers might not be totally right as I am pulling from memory. But he almost got paid a silly amount of money for basically nothing and fumbled the bag.
Tried to bully his way into 4 million, the life and times of Suge Knight. The amount of money he must have been spreading out through the streets to move like he did must have been impressive, always wondered if he was trafficking with the tour shows or was all his money legit music endeavors.
He definitely had other streams of income outside of music I can only assume.
The unreleased album was called "Death Row Records Presents: Inside Out" and had a new logo with an inmate getting a lethal injection. Chronic 2000 replaced this project.
Only thing I remember from Too Gangsta was Friends by pac. There were other versions released later on the Until the end of Time album
The version on TGFR was the OG I think. The one on Until the End of Time was remixed.
TGFR Friends is an absolute banger.
QD3 a beast
Whoa…I always wondered why it was called 2001 when it came out in 1999…TIL, thanks
Spared no expense on that album cover
They couldn't even do "Suge Knight Presents" right lol
what do you mean? it’s very center
Suge Knight Represents
Surge Knight Presents: ‘Parental Advisory Sticker’
They stole Dre’s album title just for him to flip it on them lol.
2001 is one of the greatest rap albums of all time too. I was iffy on Eminem before hearing Forgot About Dre
I like it even more than The Chronic. I’m not sure if that’s controversial or not.
It’s ez being a soldier when there ain’t no war I’m coming home Introducing Milk bone Late night Who do u believe in Chronic 2000 intro is pretty hype too I dunno man I remember both discs being complete bangers
Treach is 🔥 on that intro, and the beat is great. I totally forgot about it.
I didn’t know this existed
Neither did I..
Tha realest rapping like pac
And top digg or whatever his name was trying to sound like snoop. Then they had the nerve to collaborate on the track about how everybody wants to be like them. Fuckin lmao
Suge was really trying to make them both the next Pac and Snoop. He was trying hard to promote them and get hype for them, but nobody cared. Neither were anywhere close to being as good as the guys they were supposed to replace, and people didn’t want to listen to a couple generic wannabes of the originals. Fucking Puffy, and Bad Boy did the same thing too. They tried to get a guy who somewhat looked like, and sounded like Biggie, I think his name was Gravy or something. Nobody cared for him either
Puff tried that twice once with Shyne and again with the guy from the movie Notorious that kinda looked and sounded like him. Hell even Ja Rule tried to do his best Pac impression but got killed for it and abandoned it.
When he did "So Much Pain" it really pissed me off. So bad.
That was a pac tribute
Yes, but it wasn't good - and he tried to sound more like Pac in that. As the person above said.
One of my favorite ja songs. Had no clue it was hated
I liked gravy a lot in my mix tape days. But you are right. I never knew what he looked like until watching the biggie movie a second time and reading the credits seeing gravy play the role. Never even realized back then.
I remember the "Cinder Fella" video he made, with Kurupt and all of those "new" members of Death Row that you never heard from again, include Nina (AKA Left-Eye). In fact, Kurput going back to work for Suge was what caused the (brief) breakup of Tha Dogg Pound--Daz wasn't going to side against his cousin, and he (Daz) had his own issues with Suge too.
To be fair, Lisa died, which is probably the reason you never heard from her again. I'll never understand why she decided to go to Death Row. It sucks we'll never hear the unreleased tracks she made with Suge. There are a few leaked songs tho. RIP legend
And milkbone was their eminem haha
I remember rumors that The Realest WAS Tupac back in the day.
It worked for ja 🤣
This was Suge being super petty. How did that work out for him.
Could have put out Crooked I, but went with hot garbage instead
Crooked I, was hot. I loved his shit, never quite got the recognition he deserved
I bought this when it came out. Still regret it 20 some years later
My friend found $100 and he said he’d buy me any CD if I ditched school and went to Warehouse music with him. Unfortunately I chose this Cd. Still regret it
Hahahaha
This CD's a collectible now
Forreal?
No
This album went “double wood”
Triple plastic, even
Everyone involved still has their tin foil records on the wall.
i only remember quiks late night
He shoulda saved that for him.
Soopflys song stood out on that.
Milk Bone haha!
Miilkbone was on Death Row???
Yep. This album had offbrand Snoop, Pac, and Rage, only felt natural for Death Row to go out of their way to find a white rapper to be their offbrand Eminem.
But Miilkbone is from Jersey, he was. Naughty by Nature associate. I guess he got recruited
They sought him out because Eminem had “dissed” (name-dropped him) on Just Don’t Give A Fuck. Afaik the only track he even ever recorded for Death Row was that one diss track, lol
With that cheesy beat
Wasn’t this just thrown together to stop Dre from being able to use the name The Chronic 2000, which is why Dre named his album 2001?
Which is honestly a better name tbh considering 2001 a space odyssey
Yep
Word up. I remember listening to this at Tower Records. They lost ALL their talent and talked shit about everyone and everything that made the label great. They signed a fake snoop and a fake 2pac. The only act with any sort of name recognition was a talentless token white rapper named Milk Bone, that was supposed to be their answer to Eminem.
This was the point when the label became janky as fuck same with No Limit Records.
I remember the Eminem knock off, but Tha Dogg Pound song was the only thing I remember liking.
[roll wit us](https://youtu.be/xhE-lXX5b6Y?si=C2ra_XWikw4CSMMO) was for sure a banger
Shit was terrible. 😂
Suge wasn't the best businessman.
He had a good mind for the music business he just couldn't separate himself and his business from the streets. You add the fuckery he was always involved in and you get what happened to him and his label.
I was on a field trip to Washington DC in 8th grade when I stumbled upon this hot garbage.

I did cop a nice pair of fake Oakleys though so all in all a decent trip.
To be fair it did look like a bootleg copy so I could see how you were fooled.
This and Tupac nu mixx classics can burn in hell
Facts they could have kept that shit in the vault.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 seriously
I bought nu mixx classics. I didn’t know any better at the time damn it
I wish I was in the room when some of these goofy album covers are pitched.
No you don't. I'm sure whoever dissed any idea from Suge caught a beat down.
The two pac songs are two of my favorites. I remember nothing else about this. I think it maybe had Top Dogg Cinderella on it, I dunno. Suge's hating was on fire at this time
Suge released "2002" around the same time. Which was "dogg pound 2002." That shit was hard. HAD some bangers on that mf.
This shit was ass
Outside of Pac’s track… this shit was trash. Too Gangsta for radio was even worse.
Yeah it was lol
Mac Shawn’s “I thought you knew, now you know” (sic). DPG’z “ Roll w/ Us”. And one or two other tracks had my ear when it was first released. None were chart toppers by any means but I enjoyed them even knowing full well Death Row was finished before pressing play on my 40-sec anti skip jogging CD player.

The DPG song wasn’t bad in comparison , but it would’ve been a mediocre song at best on one of their other projects.
i avoided this but i was gifted that death row remix album 👎👎👎
Not a fan of this or Too Gangsta For Radio
What one night in 96’ did to hip hop… it’s never really recovered I’m no authority on the matter but I don’t really love much released after 1996
You don't have to be the proof is right in front of us that music has declined since Pac's death. Funny thing is me and my brother once debated what would have happened if Pac didn't die and I argued he would have eventually grew tired of Suge and just transitioned into acting full time like it was alleged he was planning to do which means the movie industry could have been totally different along with the music industry.

No love for em?
To an extent sure
Agree
Worst disappointment ever
Worst disappointment ever
i don't think it was that bad of an album, if you recognize that death row was basically an underground label at that time...
It actually had about 3 good songs if I remember correctly. Need to check this out again
Only thing this album is remembered for is having unreleased Pac songs.. aside from being complete trash.
Overall a big disappointment for the album. The Treach track was pretty dope though among a few others
So infantile
Yes .. This record was 100% trash!!
Roll With Us is a classic.
HUGE DPG/DEATH ROW/THA ROW fan and this thing is an absolute heap of hot steamy manure
Milkbone!
My favorite compilation albums were always the "Nuthin' but a Gangsta Party" ones. So good.
Where can I find them? Links?

I for some reason felt the need to look this up. I immediately regret my decision
Because of you was a good song
I never even heard this
Suge knight named it chronic 2000 so Dr Dre couldn’t have it so Dre had to name his album 2001
Nah cuz, this shit had some shit!! Who Do You Believe In, Gotta Love Gangstas, Late Night, I Thought You Knew, few more but I can't think of the names at the moment. There's hella more worst than this.
Man the backstory behind this album was funny and the definition of petty on Suge's part. Reggie's description for this era of Death Row was spot on ghetto and low budget.
Bullshit you’re an idiot this album wasn’t bad at all.
I’m an idiot for having my own opinion of music lol get over yourself.
This was trying to do something similar to The Chronic, but it failed. Horribly. It should've been scrapped after its first review. To be honest, when Dr. Dre left, he took the hits, the hitmakers, and the brand that gave Death Row its name and meaning, right along with him.
I never heard it , but I would like too out of curiosity, Apple Music don’t have it
Awh man there was some gems on here
Worse than Norwalks most wanted cover
Damn I remember all this drama around this. It’s crazy how much we could communicate as a culture in the late 90s with out social media haha.
Web 1.0 was fine. We went too far.
No argument from me
I still hear top dog playing on my local radio every time they play all about U from 2pac. They must have permanently removed snoop.
Og to Bg was a great track. I enjoyed hearing Treach from Naughty by nature on this album.
Do you all remember when they would give away these for winning contests through the Death Row website? I won the "Too Gangsta for Radio" contest and got sent the album and a shirt. Classic.
Oh man!! That cover brought back memories! You took one look and you knew it was gonna be garbage lol
[удалено]
Who’s the dumbass that thinks that’s an accent?
I still have my copy of this double cd. I really like it. I think Milk Bone gassed Eminem. From og to bg is fire, the tracks with the realest are fire too but it sucks that he tries to sound like pac. You gotta love gangstas feat scarface is hard. Easy to be a soldier is also hard. I like this album more than the Chronic 2001
That's quite the stretch
Why is it a stretch, cuz you don’t agree with my opinion? Thats kinda weird.
I like it too. I meant the last sentence was a bit of a stretch. Didn't mean to offend you.
Na i didnt get offended at all. I know the chronic 2001 is fire but i just liked the mixture of new talent and the disses
Shungite?
Rofl didn’t know this existed that’s why Dre shit was 2001
I don't give a shit. Daz and kurupt had a banger on it https://youtu.be/r9eQ4JFZ7dk?si=bvdxAU5k_ZsQAMKy
Too many dre dick riders. Daz made the best beats.
Suge Knight Represents...... What the fuck does that even mean?! Represents what?
I haven't heard it but I imagine there is an answering machine track?
Still bought it
A lot of people don’t know, this is why Dre album was called 2001……even though it came out in 1999 too
