Does anyone have have this Claaa7 compilation by chance? I know that he used to post here, but it's been years. GFK / RAEKWON - "Bulletproof Wallets" [c7 Revisit] http://claaa7.blogspot.com/2012/06/gfk-raekwon-bulletproof-wallets-c7.html Found it on my old laptop, thought there was a chance I grabb...

Looking for the Advance versions of the Black Rob 'Life Story' album, and G-Dep 'Child Of The Ghetto' ......they had some tracks with different beats that got cut from the retail version, and I think some extra tracks too.... Here's the versions I have. I'm pretty sure that's the advance version fo...

^^^ Haven't really done any other projects. As cool as the Pi is, I haven't really found any other applications of it that would be useful to me personally. In my media set up, I use it as a complement to the Xbox One. Xbone plays Xbox games and does all the 'legal' media streaming (Plex, Amazon Pr...

That's cool that Plex works well for you! I'm not sure on the sound issue with RetroPie. Again, I use Recalbox instead and haven't had any issues with it. I ended up figuring out my sound issue. I had to uncomment a line in the config file, which is what I had found online several places. I still n...

I don't recommend using a Pi as a Plex Server, as it doesn't have the horsepower to do transcoding if needed. I'm not sure about broadcasting Kodi content to other devices, as I haven't looked into it personally. I do know that Recalbox (an alternative to RetroPi, which uses a lot of the same inter...

I've ordered a raspberry pi 3 and should be getting it soon. I went with one of the Cana kits on Amazon since it came with everything. My idea is to run it as a Plex server to have other devices as Plex clients, if I have the terms right. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. I was curious a...

Just FYI for everyone, DJ Rhude, is apparently dropping Vol.2 of his "The Found Tapes". Vol. 1 had many if not all of the DOE tracks in good, clear,and free quality if I recall. It was a big help in my DOE project I worked on with claaa. I have Vol. 1, but haven't given it a good listen in a while. ...

What is the status of this, seemed to have gone silent. Was there ever a Nastradamus bootleg, that was widely put out? I seem to recall people selling one that had a bunch of the I Am leaked tracks, but never grabbed it, wished I did though. I haven't bothered searching, but is there an "accepted" ...

Thanks. I just recall someone mentioning that on another forum, in reference to the "I Am" leaks when the topic was brought up. I didn't/don't know much about the tape myself.

Here is the scan (2 pages) of The Source's review of "I Am...". This is from April of'99 with C-Murder on the cover (i think). It was Rapzines (http://www.rapzines.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) who was nice of enough to provide me with it a couple of years ago. Nothing Earth s...

Amazing find on the bootleg postings! Thanks so much for posting those! If anyone comes across the Nastradamus bootleg that was circulating I'd love see that. I just recall people posting and selling those online in '99 with many of the I Am leaks and the covers being that picture of bad looking thr...

I have a scan of the "I Am" Source review. Let me search my old emails I should have it there or an laptop. Might be a a few before I can get to it. Someone, I can't recall who, was.nice enough to provide me with it when I was looking up the DOE stuff.

Ok, I took the WAV file of the dirty original version from my CD, spliced in the version you just posted with the extra verse, and removed the skip at the end. each version was EQ'd differently, so it's not perfect, but it'll do for now I guess. Here you go... Big Pimpin' (ft UGK) [Explicit with ex...

@itzmurda WHOA! Thank you! I never expected it to be on there, all casual. :) @cairokid I was reading the emailblast from D.O.E. You're convinced 'YOUR MOUTH GOT YOU IN IT' was meant for IAM? It's been a while since I've read through that, I can't recall all that was said. I'm in agreement with itz...

@madstadik....good looks on that I Am Advance! Here's The OG Hate Me Now with the O Fortuna sample, & Pray ft Bravehearts (personally can't stand this track....Bravehearts probably would never would've gotten on wax if it weren't for their connections to Nas IMO). http://www82.zippyshare.com/v/Yz9a...

That's the tracklist that I would go with. The only problem I see is leaving out "Come Get Me" when Nas mentions album three on the song. I've always thought that "Come Get Me" was one of the "new" songs recorded for Nastradamus. Right after the line about "album three" he mentions 3D, which if I r...

Just reposting a few things of mine from The Firm thread, that might be relevant here. I just wanted to throw a few cents in on the "I Am..." topic, but don't want to hijack the topic. There was/is another forum I used to frequent often that had someone undertake a similar effort. What they ultimate...

Thanks Rich! I've almost got the bootleg compiled completely. Just waiting on a couple records to arrive in the mail this week. Can I send you the .Wav's as soon as I rip them? Yeah no prob homie....send over the .WAV files once you record them, and I'll clean them up. @cairokid the tape confirms a...

@cairokid the tape confirms a couple IAM tracks as well as shows 'triple threat' was meant for nature Here's the best version I have of The Curse, in 192 kbps. This comes from "Vamp" who was a well known member of the various Nas message boards back in the day. Before he posted this, to my knowledg...

No prob Cairo. Not that I know of. Do you happen to have the clean version with the extra verse? If so, maybe I can splice the extra verse onto the end of the dirty version from the CD Here's the version with the extra verse. I think there is a slight glitch or skip in it at the very end. Maybe you...

Thanks! @Cairokid Would be amazing to have these in even higher quality. I did come across a bootleg 12 on discogs that had 'hardest thing to stay alive'. Have you seen this promotional cassette? https://www.discogs.com/Nas-Nature-Excerpts-From-The-Forthcoming-Columbia-Release-I-Am-Excerpts-From-Th...

@Cairokid I'd like to start with the IAM bootleg but have no clue how to start a new thread in here. Apologies in advance! I'm still looking for the original 'Fetus (Belly Button Window)', the original 'Project Windows w/Ron Isley' and 'Day Dreaming, Stay Scheming', 'Sometimes I Wonder' and 'Hardes...

I was going through my old Jay-Z "Life and Times Vol.3" folder, and came across this splice I did of 'The Hova Song Intro', 'The Hova Song Interlude', and the 'Hova Song Outro'. I may be wrong, but I don't think the Hova song interlude appeared on the U.S. version of the album. Thought some people ...

lescratch wrote:Yes! @Cairokid that was the og physical bootleg as well. Project window wasn't the reworked version on here. Same with Fetus.

Here's the UK version of Hov's Vol.3.

Thanks for uploading that!

This is great! i like the album version better of Project Windows, the leaked version is stripped down plus no Ron isley u gotta have ron isley on the track! I believe there are 3 version of "Project Windows" that people refer to. There is the stripped down no Ron Isley version, which I believe is ...

i have that Issue of the Vibe Magazine where that Nas album review is in...i think thats not the only time they had album reviews for certain albums that never came out or tracks that nvr made that particular album!! its crazy what u can uncover wit a team of hip-hop helpers! @djfilthyrich...cant w...

Good read, thanks for posting.

I'd love to hear a version of "Life's a Bitch" over "Juicy Fruit". How long before someone mixes that up? Would that even sound right, constructed as we know it now?
