Few hour ago, five songs from Dr. Dre’s “2001” album sessions have surfaced online, the demos which were recorded 22-23 years ago in 1997-98. Not much info is known about these tape but the uploader says:
“This is a track from a cassette tape I found amongst collection of Pittsburgh rap cassettes. I believe this is from a proto version of 2001 before Dre met Eminem and changed the game. Sorry about the hiss.“
Hitman also responded a fan on Twitter. You can check the tweet and listen to each track below:
Holy shit, that`s the first thing I ever recorded at The Math. It would be 4 months until I was signed from that point. Last Emp & I think Phish was the on the 3rd verse.
