A lot of the recognition of Cougnut's passing was taken away by the traged of 9/11. If you remember, 9/11 was the day of Cougnut's funeral, so a lot of attention was diverted toward that, not that it shouldn't have been, but Coug never really did receive the proper rememberance that he should have.
I have talked to a lot of the people involved in the past about this, Gabe, Cellski, Drawz, Baldhead Rick, etc.... and please don't doubt that EVERY one of them, along with many others, want nothing more than for this album to be released... Just to be released, they don't want anything from it, nothing financially, nothing recognition wize, they just wanna pay tribute to a legend and friend.
All we can do as fans is hope and pray that one day everything comes together and his music can be released for everyone to enjoy, the OG fans as well as the new generation.
Cougnut had the best voice of a rapper to ever touch a microphone, and his lyricism was great. There was so much potential lost with the loss of him. What we can do though, is continue to honor him by listening to his music, and keeping his memory alive, like Gabe did with this post.
