    If it's some how not the official version I'm almost positive this being out on streaming platforms and doing so well will make them put it out

    Everyone besides dre and focus (one of the main aftermath producers) posted it.

    Okay wow. I don't know what to say except that this release seems so half-assed. Another thing: "The Scenic Route" ends abruptly, like 2 seconds early in this version.

    The problem is, I think everything that comes next year will be kept secret, and also what the demos in the game are all about, you still don't know; is there still an official Dre album coming or not. A radio interview with Dre about the game release would not have been bad

    My fear right now is that these 6 songs will make their way onto a 12 track album, fully mastered of course. Along with the token 2 tracks that Dre won't be a featured artist on that leaves us with potentially only 4 new Dre songs on an official album.

    Exactly how I feel but I have the added opinion that none of these songs are album worthy so that's an even bigger loss

    I dunno man, Fallin Up is orgasmic! Remove Busta from ETA and add a proper Snoop verse. Gospel doesn't need any changes. They are all nigh on perfect songs.

    You don't like busta's verse? My only gripe with it might be his strained voice. I know some years have passed, but to some he might sound unrecognizable on the song.

    Xzibit is in the credits for ETA and some suggested that snoop's hook was written by someone else. I gotta say: "look at how my cuban link glow" does sound like Xzibit.

    The verse is fine. I just find Busta too much of a contrast for the vibe of the song.

    This EP is so good! At last Dre's the main voice on his own s---. And he is even more charistmatic than usual!

    #8 on the overall top albums chart now. Still #2 behind Nas on the hip hop chart

    Well the fact that they seem to be removed from Spotify might mean it wasn't a proper upload. I just figured it would be in line with the GTA game to only release them as "leaked demos" and that's that. And if they did well, which they seem to have done, then they would be released properly (mastered etc), on the album for instance... we'll have to wait and see I guess...

    My thoughts as well... and adding to what Carnifex said, I thought these songs were "throwaways" ie not as good as the songs intended for the album (in Dre's eyes), hence they were used as demo versions in GTA instead.... I think a few of them are absolutely album worthy, far better than most of the Compton album imo!
