Ghetto Gospel - never released in the US?
- Thread starter mc_millionaire

Maybe because of that in US ppl R knows the OG song, and they didn't like the retail ... In Europe 4 a lot of ppl this was the 1st 2Pac song which they heard (except Changes & Cali Luv)
Most of them around 15 years old, and big Eminem fans ... I think this was the biggest reason why they listenin' this track, and it's closer 2 pop music than the rap music (just like the most of Eminem's songs)
My homies R like Ghetto Gospel too, but they listenin' disco music anyway ...
So in my opinion 2Pac's unknown's in Europe was they reason ...
In US from 10 ppl 9 knows Pac ... In Europe from 10 ppl 3-4 knows him ...

na, that's not it at all.
i may be slightly off, but i'm not at home to check. pretty sure the last american press cd single for 2pac was how do u want it (the two track of do 4 love *may* be american press). cd singles have been increasingly "imports" in slimline cases (as opposed to the larger standard american cases) since the mid 90's. basically the rule of thumb is that any cd single you see in a thin plastic case was not made in america.
why not press them in the states? well a few reasons... for one the costs of single manufacturing is much less overseas than here, where plants focus on numbers and larger-scale packages. cd singles run a limited press and are therefore costly to set and press a new single every week. additionally, market trends show overseas buyers to purchase more cd singles than americans. this is likely do to the fact that you all pay a lot more per cd than we do, and therefore it makes the purchase of a single more attractive if that's the only song you really want.
with respect to americans being more privy to the og's, well that's not a very accurate thing to say. the internet was how the spread of the og's took place, which is obviously "world wide." likewise, probably less than 5% of 2pac's fans are online and downloading them, so it's not so much geography that defines access and knowledge of og's, but rather access to the information.
