UNRELEASED MAC DRE MATERIAL...

Agreed. Remember when Mr. Cee (RBL) was shot and killed? That was an equally tragic event for the Bay Area and Rap in general, just like MD's death.
Anyway, when AN EYE FOR AN EYE came out in '97, I honestly could NOT play it very often for at least a year--my memories of Mr. Cee were just too strong. I mean, the CD was dope, and Black C. and Hitman were lyrically on-point, but I couldn't play it w/out getting choked-up emotionally. I could still play A LESSON TO BE LEARNED and RUTHLESS BY LAW because they were made when Mr. Cee was still alive and I could view playing them as a way of honoring and celebrating Mr. Cee's legacy to the Rap game. But coming after Mr. Cee's death as it did, AN EYE FOR AN EYE was too sad in '97 because, for me, Mr. Cee was so specific to RBL's name that I just couldn't imagine RBL without him. Today, I'm okay with playing AN EYE FOR AN EYE, because enough time has passed that I can accept it as a foundation CD for "Phase II" of Black C.'s career, and I bump most of the post '97 Right Way CDs (many of which are among my favorite Frisco Rap CDs) on the regular as well.
Now, how this relates to my feelings on Mac Dre is that while I can and will certainly bump all of Mac Dre's CDs released from '92 to his death, I'm not sure that I could psychologically handle any "new" MD material (i.e., "previously unreleased" stuff, etc.) anytime soon--the memories of how he was when he was alive, represented on the MD CDs that I have, would be too strong. MD's family, friends and fans should be allowed to mourn and deal w/ the tragedy of MD's death for however long it takes BEFORE anyone even thinks about releasing any posthumous MD CDs. I don't know if anyone feels the same way about this--just my view...

PEACE!
