Albums that were advertised but never dropped?

[lethal5]

Around the time of Dre starting up Aftermath I think there was talk of alot of projects...

Like I think him and Cube had something planned, 'Natural Born Killers' was a dope single by them and also I think there may of been an 'East Coast/West Coast' album too...

On the subject of Dre he seems to of had loads of projects that never dropped, obviously Detox, but also Rakim, King Tee, Time Bomb etc

...from what i remember when he 1st got interviewed after he started Aftermath, he said The Chronic 2 (which became 2001), was supose to heavily feature East coast emcees.

Like a lot of people said, collabo albums almost never drop probably mainly due to conflicting label issues:

-The Lil Flip/David Banner album.

-Z-Ro & Slim Thug - Tha King & Tha Boss

Yeah it did, but not how it was first advertised.

I think this would have been real dope if it was released this way. I was so disappointed when the actual album dropped.

It did but the group was originally intended to be P & Mystikal around the time Mystikal made it official to the Tank. That project, if dropped in '97, would've probably been DOPE ('97 was the Tank's best year musically IMO).

In '98, Silkk (aka Vito for the group) was added to the project and it was advertised as a Silkk/P/Mystikal album slated to be released, presumably, in 1999.

With the departure of Beats by the Pound in July 1999, P kind of scrapped a lot of intended projects and decided to promote and reshift the 504 Boyz as a group to almost like a compilation. The Goodfellas album that ended up coming out was very disappointing in the sense that it had no identity and just felt like a bunch of songs thrown out there.

Wobble, Wobble (originally released on Magic's album with just Cee, Mac n Magic) was revamped with worse production and featured a pasted together Mystikal verse (he had essentially left the Tank at that point). The album also featured cheap skits and songs that were previously released (Soldier and Beefing).

2pac - The Vault; a 4-disc box set of fully mastered and mixed unreleased songs in their original versions, was to be released on DeathRow.

Id kill someone right now for this.

Deathrow owns this thread from 96-2008 all they did was announce records that didnt come out

 

[vespesianus]

Weren't Talib Kweli, 9th Wonder, and Pharoahe Monch supposed to do an album together? Had that been released yet?
