Universal to re-release some of the classics of the 90-2000s

Postby King Lance » Jan 28th, '14, 22:46

Universal Music Group's Respect the Classics campaign is gearing up to re-release some of the defining hip-hop albums of the past two decades. The cross-label campaign—a collaboration between Def Jam, Interscope, Priority, and Virgin Records—will drop several albums in the coming months, including Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak, Lil Wayne - The Carter, Eminem's The Slim Shady LP, 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin', and N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton among others. The Respect the Classics campaign will serve as a salute to the "iconic, genre-defining albums" of the past 25 years in hip-hop.

Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak

They're obviously doing it for the love of hip hop.

What does this even mean though?

Because those albums are still available to buy anyway right? So what do they mean re-release?

Are they releasing them like remastered or anything? Bonus/unreleased tracks? Because if not, then "re-releasing" them would be pointless because they've already be released lol.
