Freestyles, Demos, Assorted Rarities

Thanks for the info, I never knew there were two different versions!

Here's that 91 show:

Appreciate it Krisch, it was really nice to finally hear the full version! If I had this from the beginning I would've probably just included it as it is but now I will revisit my edit and make an updated version, using an AI acapella of the version you just posted with the added beat like in the version I posted before

Thanks for the props!

As for the other Doo Wop freestyle I missed that one completely, I'll try my best to hunt it down!

Others with freestyle in the title that you'd understandably cut (as they are more songs than anything else and are available elsewhere) but I'd be remiss not to mention: Da Freestyle King, Muro Freestyle, and Off & On Freestyle Mix.

A quick YouTube search also yields these:

Live at the Sheraton '94
Live at the Knitting Factory Dec 7 '08
Live at the Panache Supper Club Aug 10 '11
Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap '12
Live at Summer Stage '18
Live at Columbia University Jun 1 '19

Some of these are recycled verses, but I'd probably include the Sheraton '94, Knitting Factory '08, and Something From Nothing '12 ones at the very least. (The lines from Sheraton '94 were later used in No Gimmicks but this was recorded two years prior.)

Also there's maybe a few more out there from live performances, though obviously not the ones where he's just DJing. And I feel like there's a couple other semi-recent short ones I've heard that also use that R. Kel line but I can't refind those so far. They were never posted to YouTube.

Not sure which Doo Wop freestyle is on Freestyle Hit (but I'm guessing it's probably the '96 and not the '95, though it might be worth lookin' into, especially if you can't find the '95 Doo Wop tape.)

Thanks a lot for helping out, will add those live freestyles in a few days for sure!

Da Freestyle KIng is included on the compilation as "Stretch & Bobbito Sep 15 '94", it's a longer version I got from Krisch
Muro Freestyle is on "Rare Selections Vol. 3" so I didn't include it because of that reason (and as you say it's not really the typical freestyle neither)
Off & On Freestyle Mix is on "Rare & Unreleased Vol. 2" so same thing there

Gonna have to see what I can find about that "Freestyle Hit" LP as well, thanks for sharing!

Here is my updated edit of the Stretch & Bobbito '91 freestyle, with Percee P & Steve-O (wth the added "Live at the BBQ" beat):

KvngLxo who runs this youtube channel just hooked me up with this ill DMX underground 1991-1998 compilation, check it out!

https://mega.nz/folder/3r5UzSaJ#u5Mmn7COXAOFNhb87RZVpA

Asked if the tracks were "original files" or ripped from youtube and it's about half n half. Either way mad respect to KvngLxo for putting this together!

[Fritz]

Thanks for sharing! And props for KvngLxo of course, I hope he will share the mp3's of the versions someday. Since the demo versions are IMO doper then the album versions

This is my attempt at recreating the unreleased original version of “Got My Mind Made Up”, adding Inspectah Deck’s verse which wasn’t included on the retail version (he reused it in a freestyle, which is what I used when making this). I also added Method Man’s censored words.

Adding Deck's verse from the freestyle has been done before but new AI technology for extracting acapellas has been launched since so I figured I’d make an updated version, and it did turn out better than the old fanmade edit.

Since there’s rumours about it being 2Pac’s call to take INS off this track, I suggest you watch the video “Daz Dillinger: Tupac and Dr.Dre' get into it !” if you haven’t. Daz (who produced the track) explains why Deck wasn’t on the retail version, the verse was on a different ADAT which was lost. This explains why they left the adlibs on, it was on the ADAT with the other verses - if they actually wanted to take Deck off the track there’s no way they would’ve left the adlibs on.

Props to:
VojtaNesvadba for giving me the idea to create this
TERMINATED aka Civilian3030 for giving me the idea to add Method Man’s unedited lyrics to the CDQ version
Esoteric for ripping the “PLO Style” vinyl, with the freestyle where Deck re-used his verse
underdog for creating the acapella using lalal.ai
Whoever put together the picture I used for the video

Thanks for props and for checking it out Fritz! Oh he did one too? I haven't heard it, do you have a link?

Edit: I realize that you're probably are taking about the old fan-edit that he recently posted?

Edit again: Someone requested a version that fades out with no INS ad-libs since they're already heard during his verse!
