Does anyone know like the specifics on where this 'compilation' came from? It appears to be various songs collected over time but just pasted together onto a zip, does anyone have .wavs or original source files to these tracks? Anyone been around long enough to know where some of these songs originally leaked from? Most of the stuff here is extremley compressed and low quality .mp3 files, if any know has any knowledge please hit me back ASAP, thanks!
Hi 2pacfan1996! Most of these unreleased tracks have been leaked and shared around by the fans for many years now. It was only as of this year due to the complications of Aaliyah's music not being available for so long (which now has finally changed, since the re-release of her music) where fans took it upon themseleves to leak the tracks for everyone to enjoy. Majority of these tracks were originally meant for the Red Album. I can send you high quality versions of the whole album. Please send us an email through the contact form and we'll send you a direct link! ✌🏽❤️
Yeah, a lot of this stuff on here has been 'compiled' if you want to call it that. If I am not mistaken, some years ago, music could be downloaded from Static Major's website which was a source/leak for some of the refrences on the Red Sessions, for example, We Need A Resolution comes from Static Major's site, it's also tagged lol. What I was trying to say, and I think it's a bit complicated to explain, but where did each and every single one of these tracks pop up from prior to being compiled on the Red Sessions? Has anyone ever kept track of that? Some of the songs from the Red Sessions folder like Don't Let Me Fool Ya are super compressed and poor quality (not knocking anyone!) but does anyone like know where that song originally leaked from? Maybe the true original source/leak files hold better quality.
An example on how poor quality some tracks are:
A 'perfect' quality song should appear as this:
Keep in mind though that Don't Let Me Fool Ya was probably ripped from a Cassette and Lord Knows By 2Pac was ripped from a Reel.
Yes we are fully aware of that Static Major website you are referring to, we were actually both affiliated with one another and know the owners of that site. If my memory serves correctly it was called StaticMajorIsMusic. Also we don't just 'compile' on our platform we 'preserve' too. We've been in the game for over 8 years and much longer as a fan in general, so we've seen a lot 😉 lol The reason why some of those songs will be low quality is because they are 'demo tracks'. Demo tracks are the rough drafts/vocals before finalising the audio into a higher quality, so...you will not be getting the highest quality when it comes to that, especially from the time in which it was recorded too. We just need to appreciate the audio for what it is, in it's raw authentic form, regardless of whether it's high quality or low quality.
Majority of those demos would of leaked during the time when artists such as Chris Brown and Drake wanted to use Aaliyah's vocals for their own tracks. Intially there was orginally meant to be a duets album, which never happened due to Diane Haughton not wanting it, so they had to back down from the project.
With the re-release of the music and the new album titled 'Unstoppable' from Blackground 2.0, we may finally get to hear some of those unreleased demo tracks in higher quality. The only catch is that since they are re-releasing Aaliyah's music, they need to treat it as if she is an up and coming new artist for marketing purposes. This is the reason why artist features and collabs will be on each track. Ideally majority of the fans would love to hear the original versions without any features, but we'll have to wait and see what happens.
