thanks for posting. gives a little info on the treal tv 2 delay:

Then there is the problem of Treal TV #2, the long-awaited follow-up DVD to Treal TV. Despite overwhelming demand, delays have plagued its release for over a year, first from other rappers who appear in the footage and want to get paid. Now the delay is coming from the final editing room, and Salvatto is taking a more active interest in how her son is presented in the video.

"He wouldn't like me saying this," she admits, "and of course this is coming from a mother, but he was having a good time and there was a lot of stuff that happened--the fights, the drugs and stuff like that--that I wouldn't necessarily approve of." Naturally, Salvatto had no control over her son's activity when the footage was filmed, but, she says, "what are you going to tell a thirty-something-year-old man?" she asks. "That, 'No, you can't do this, you can't be filmed doing that'? That was never Andre--even as a child--for me to be able to do that."

"But now . . ." She stops to consider the delicate position she is in, of editing her own son's life. "I want to be careful about the way Andre is projected, because I think he had become another person, and I think he would have been more careful about the way he would be projected now as well."

i didnt like reading that. sounds like shes gonna water down what made the original treal tv so great. and its not like it matters if the dvd is a big dissapointment, everyones still gonna buy it, and thizz'll still get their money - all that matters

Thats dissapointing that she wants to edit out the bad stuff to project him differently, I totally understand where shes coming from and everything, but you know Mac Dre would not want some kind of censorship of his music or a dvd
