There are a lot of great Hip Hop albums that never saw the light of days until years after their intended release. Large Professor’s The LP, Freddie Foxxx’s Crazy Like A Foxxx and I.n.I.’s Center of Attention to name a few.
Former Shady/Aftermath artist Stat Quo was nearly added to that list until his long delayed debut Statlanta hit shelves last summer. However, the Dream Big Ventures release was much different than the version that was supposed to come out on Shady/Aftermath years earlier. Most notably, it was stripped of all of Dr. Dre and Eminem’s contributions.
Fans are now petitioning to have the original version released. You can sign the petition here. Below is a partial tracklisting for the lost album.
1) “Statlanta” Produced by Fire Dept
2) “Testify/The Next One” featuring Eminem Produced by Eminem
3) “Fire” featuring Bilal Produced by Dr. Dre
4) “The Way It Is” featuring Scarface and Dr. Dre Produced by Dr. Dre
5) “G.R.I.T.S.” Produced by Mark Batson and Che Vicious
6) “They Call Me” Produced by Dr. Dre and Nottz
7) “Pussy” featuring Devin The Dude Produced by L.T. Moe for Global Music Movement
8) “Finger to the Sky” Produced by Scott Storch
9) “30 Minutes” Produced by Eminem
10) “All Hood” Produced by Dr. Dre
11) “Goin’ Somewhere” Produced by K. Kane
Yall see,my nigga Lupe Fiasco done started something with Petitions,And I bet Dr.Dre Aftermath/Interscope release it this year to.
this petition stuff started before Lupe had to do with anything…
Who gives a fuck Dr. Gay prolly got mad unreleased material from niggaz like Rakim and Raekwon and high calibre niggaz like that. How about a petition to get Young Buck’s G-Unot shit released that nigga 50 done hit him with a lawsuit and all kinds of crazy shit.
What about a petition on some real ass shit like a boycot on crooked ass Israel. Lupe’s a punk he should have started that petition instead of that lasers bullshit.
Lupe didn’t start that petition. His fans did which is why he called Lasers the fans album.
they wont release it
wow thats a nice lil lineup of features & producers!! #interscope$
hell im fn glad someone else feels lik me, RELEASE THAT MESS DRE! stat already said he has thousands and thousands of dope songs with the old shady/aftermath camp and many other artsit that we will never hear,all cus dre doesnt like the songs but we all know at least half or better of them are bangers dre is weak for holding so much music back i bet when he dies it all comes out like tupac did but we knew all along he had the tracks tucked away!
i placed mine! now whomever is below this comment or infront fo mine, sign it for the homie stat! i hate when mcs get quiet i hope the homie is out there still placing what is in his veins into the speakers….
First of All: Statlanta is not coming, period! If you read Dr.Dre Interviews in the Past, you know why. See what happened to Rakim. Those Guys think they the Shit. Go to work Fools, be patient! Dr.Dre is a Genius, you are not! You Guys see the $$$ before you get the Job Done, forget it! By the Way: LASERS is Dope, it is just different from what we heard before from him.
your an idiot. dr dre hasnt had an idea of what good music is since 1999
