    This thread is for compiling a list of unreleased albums.
    Titles will link to the download if they aren't available for legal purchase.
    Anything hosted on AudioMack, DatPiff, MixtapeMonkey, etc is fair game.
    Suggestions will be added to the OP with album art and a playlist to stream.

    50 Cent - Power of the Dollar (1999)
    [​IMG]
    50 Cent's debut album intended for release with Columbia albums. His single "How to Rob" brought on attention from Supreme Team after he named names in regards to NY street crime. He was shot, Columbia dropped him, and the album was shelved.

    Intended for release in 1993, the album was shelved for its racy album art. ReadyRock eventually put the album out in 2001.


    Nas - I Am... (Original) (1999)
    [​IMG]
    "I Am...became one of the first major label releases to be widely leaked using MP3 technology." These are the original tracklists for both discs before being bootlegged.

    I didn't know that RA had a whole album like this, always thought that the majority of his unreleased material were random songs included in the Legendary Classics.

    Wasn't Doom supposed to have an album with Ghostface? I know they have a couple of songs together but I think they wanted to make a full album.

    There are 2 unreleased 2Pac albums available. The first is the unreleased version of Thug Life, & the second is the untitled album that interscope was going to release while he was in jail. You want me to send you them?

    There is another unreleased pac album called ''Troublesome 21'', but during the recording process, the label didnt want to release alot of the tracks due to the violent lyrics, new tracks were recorded & it became Strictly 4 My Niggaz

    You should of used my remastered version of power of the dollar

    Added in the Thug Life Demo because it was already on Grooveshark. PM @Creation for the pre-Death Row album and extras from the Thug Life sessions.
