maybe bonus in Everyday Thing and the Affirmative Action remix. Although both sort of feel out of place.

Gotta be the firm fiasco remix. The original version is late 90's cringe.

Got firm fiasco mixed up with firm biz, my mistake. Yea that track list makes for a great album.

Need Step One to send me that Firm Biz Remix with the curses and I'll zip this shit up.

Ok, put this together really quickly.. Maybe one of you more savvy dudes can make it nicer. Sorry, my Firm album was m4a so some joints are that. Also had to rip La Familia and 4 In The Morning from the web since I don't have those joints on this hard drive. I have 3 computers and 3 externals so not about to go through them all, but fuck it. This is makes it more raw

Thanks bro

Good look

I was seriously expecting some next level shit, but aside from 3-4 dope songs, its pretty average.

Nice work

also notable for some early Toomp production

was La Familia featured on anything official? I've only got it on a bootleg 12"

Thanks for that updated firm album, respect!

I'm not super savvy so here's a retagged 320 MP3 upgrade for everything except 4 in the Morning, Time, Escobar '97, and Desperados, those I just copied over:

Thanks. Didn't have the time to tag properly or add a picture or anything, but this is better for iTunes.

Listened to this straight through a couple of times over the last couple of days. Man, if this would have been the album...

Only thing is the Escobar 97 you put was clean, the one I had was dirty which is somewhat rare.

Okay, swapped that back out for the 192 dirty version here:

Good lookin sleep.

Yes, Escobar 97 Dirty and Desperado with Nas without DJ Clue is ill, but the star of this show is Step One coming through with that Dirty Firm Biz remix.. I'll be over this soon, but not after a week of loving this update. Wish we could do this with that BCC album but we'll need the a cappella

That BCC album would be tough to pull off

Good looks on this directors cut version. So many nas albums need this.

I think nas took his verse off desperados cause he was afraid of canibus.

This is a great idea. Good job on this Pradadon (& BigSleep for the 320 upgrade where possible).
Step One, La Familia was released officially on the B-side of Foxy Brown's 'I'll Be' single, but it was only the clean version, and Cormega's verse was removed and replaced with a verse from Nature.

I added a few tracks to mine:

In Too Deep - Nas & Nature (beat has that mafioso sound to it)
Everyday Thing - Nas, Nature, Dre
Affirmative Action (even though it was on Nas LP, I had to include this again here because the original Firm is together and the vibe fits perfectly)
Mo Money Mo Murder Mo Homicide - Az, Nas (again, had to double up and include it on this because the beat fits the mafioso vibe perfectly)
La Familia [Youtube rip] - Foxy, Nature, Nas, AZ (somehow this guy on Youtube has the Dirty version of the one that appears on the B-side of the Foxy Brown 'I'll Be' single...wish I knew where he got it from)

just checked and I actually have this version on a bootleg 12". Good quality so I'll get this ripped and uploaded soon. I remember it from a Future Flavas tape back in the day but didnt realise it never came out officially. Great track though, surprised I slept on it for so long.

Just joined to add to this. Great thread and great work peeps.

Here's a dirty rip of La Familia from some Cormega Greatest Hits thing. Better quality than the Youtube rip.

Thanks Thrizz...although the version Pradadon had on his version sounds a bit better to me (more bass).
I think this original version of La Familia with Cormega is going to be hard to find in good quality.
Pradadon mentioned that he has the original version on one of his hard drives. Maybe he can track it down and add it to this thread?

Thanks Step...that'd be amazing. Can you rip it as a .WAV file and email it to me? I'll clean it up manually in Soundforge, then encode to a 320 mp3.

No doubt, tried to do what I could.
You're right, both versions are lacking in certain areas.
Will keep tracking this thread to see what people come through with.
