Nah, it's fine as it is, bootleg sound quality and all. Add Puffy's intro and ad libs from the Bad Boy mixtape vol 3 for good measure.

Re: Time Is Illmatic
I think I actually prefer the updated solo version also.
Re: Time Is Illmatic
Yep, the solo is totally slept on.
Re: Time Is Illmatic
Am I buggin or was there a Cormega solo version floating around at some point? Or maybe even a freestyle he did over that beat? Or maybe it was just his verse had leaked out before the full original got around and that's what I'm thinking of...
Re: Time Is Illmatic
I wouldn't know, Cormega is a chore to listen to and I usually opt out.
Re: Time Is Illmatic
That's kind of crazy to me. Just wondering ... do you dislike Ka for the same reasons you dislike Mega?
Re: Time Is Illmatic
this is insane. That updated version is fucking awful and lacks everything that made the original great.Versive wrote:I think I actually prefer the updated solo version also.

Re: Time Is Illmatic
It's not that complicated. The original is just a lot better. The beat knocks harder and the rhymes have more energy in them.
If I remember right, the remake has Nas going 'this verse is 10 years old!' in the chorus or some shit and the beat is considerably tamer. He should've let Kamakaze use the track when they recorded it instead of being a bitch about the situation.

Re: Time Is Illmatic
Pretty sure the beat is the same exact thing. The OG just sounds rawer or whatever, because it was probably recorded in a fucking den of thieves in Queensbridge. You're right that it's not complicated though. Nas' verses are way better. Hence, so is the new version.
Re: Time Is Illmatic
Matter of fact one could argue Nas' 3rd verse > 1st verse.
Re: Time Is Illmatic
LOL@ den of thieves.
Ka has grown on me. Cormega has a herky jerky flow, no real style, and a voice that sounds out of place in music, period.

I don't remember the playlists for those, but I don't remember Britney Spears to Christina to Bravehearts being a thing. Maybe in Delray they do it different.
