Nas from 1994-1996
Nas from this period is the greatest emcee ever, his shit was sooo fkn nice. I was just listening to 'One on One' off the Street Fighter soundtrack and it sounds as good as anything on Illmatic...it coulda been on and wouldn't have made a difference.

I've heard he has shit with Method Man and GZA from 1996. I wonder if they'll ever be released. Woulda been ill.

I've got it. Actually two of them, I'm pretty sure they're the same tapes but with different covers. It's on my list of things to rip in the next few days. Unless someone beats me to it.Life Visualiza wrote:Where can I get a hold of the sampler tape?
I found some info and pictures about it here, but no d/l links:
http://forum.diggerswithgratitude.com/s ... ead/page15
and another decent Nas write-up here about all the shit in his vaults:
http://escobartheory.blogspot.com/2006/ ... aults.html
Another time Nas teased with promo tapes didn't even have a snippet to offer. To announce the coming of It Was Written, the rapper recorded Escobar Season Begins and distributed it to media outlets and mixtapes. Then, on that same sampler, advertisements also announced that IWW would feature appearances from Method Man and D'Angelo. At that point, with D'Angelo yet to run from the spotlight, Meth not needing to remind people he was still around, and Nas trying to bolster sales, the collaborations made sense, but we don't even know if they all actually made it to the studio.

Props.
I would have love to heard that shit with LES the Female Cop shit. I wonder if Large Pro would ever release that shit....Nas and Large Pro never made wack shit together. Everyone song they've ever done together is 5/5 shot.

Do you think NaS would ever released the second verse of Deja Vu?

. The one with the picture came with the Source magazine if you had a subscription. The other oine came with an it was written note book they were given to the record stores. Both tapes are exactly the same material. Ps there are several errors in that escobar theory blog. Ill have to break them down when I have time. I was a nas diehard collector back in the day and had everything in chronological discog down to even when freestyles droppeddirt_dog wrote:I've got it.

Nas at this time is my favorite to ever do it, every single verse he spat on "It Was Written", "Illmatic" and everything in between is a lyrical masterpiece. he's still a monster on the microphone and he drops great songs every year but besides the joints with Premier and Large Pro he never made it to that level again. still one of the best however (btw, Large Pro also did a song with Nas called "Star Wars" that was supposed to be on "God's Son" but it got cut).
a while back i wrote a list of all the Nas guest features and b-sides or whatever from the years you mentioned. anything i'm missing? also if anyone needs any of these let me know and i'll upload.

It was on the 2004 Illmatic rerelease's bonus cd along with the solo version of On the Real and some shitty remixes. Dope track, used the same beat as Large Pro's "Hip Hop".claaa7 wrote:(btw, Large Pro also did a song with Nas called "Star Wars" that was supposed to be on "God's Son" but it got cut).

I have a Hot Day and Supreme tape where they say Produced by Jay Supreme outloud over the song when it starts. Then he's like this is a song we did back in the day before Nas even had a record deal...etc..
Was gonna say the same shit, those remixes were fuckin awful, they should have used that space to put high quality versions of some of the demos there. Star Wars was a treat though, Large Pro used either that same beat or just the same Axelrod sample on his own 1st Class record too.Dragondude R wrote:It was on the 2004 Illmatic rerelease's bonus cd along with the solo version of On the Real and some shitty remixes.

Big ups Mike Nice... glad you're back and doin your thing again. But yo, you should look into that shit cuz honestly, "Villain" doesn't even sound like a Large Pro beat.DJMIKENICE wrote:Nearly positive Large Pro did this Serch did an interview about howbbatson1 wrote:You sure about I'm a villain?DJMIKENICE wrote:Large pro also did majority of the demo.

Btw Mike, Deja Vu was recorded in '95?, right?
are any of those links working, or have many of those songs listed been posted? I know there was a nice 4 or 6 cd comp a while back, can't cross reference at the momentdirt_dog wrote:and another decent Nas write-up here about all the shit in his vaults:

What they shouldve done is put all the remixes from the 12"s on there - Q Tip mix of World Is Yours, Large Pro mix of Aint Hard To Tell, Arsenal mix of Lifes A Bitch etc - wouldve made a nice package (nh @ 'nice package' )Verge wrote:Was gonna say the same shit, those remixes were fuckin awful, they should have used that space to put high quality versions of some of the demos there.Dragondude R wrote:It was on the 2004 Illmatic rerelease's bonus cd along with the solo version of On the Real and some shitty remixes.

that's about what i thought it was gonna be when i heard it was gonna have remixes on it. Wow, I just heard that Arsenal mix for the first time i think right now, hah, its dope. That was one of those singles that i just never saw and was never aware of back in the day. When i saw it years later i assumed it was a boot or UK or Jap press or something like that. Didn't realize it was official with an official remix.step one wrote:What they shouldve done is put all the remixes from the 12"s on there - Q Tip mix of World Is Yours, Large Pro mix of Aint Hard To Tell, Arsenal mix of Lifes A Bitch etc - wouldve made a nice package (nh @ 'nice package' )Verge wrote:Was gonna say the same shit, those remixes were fuckin awful, they should have used that space to put high quality versions of some of the demos there.Dragondude R wrote:It was on the 2004 Illmatic rerelease's bonus cd along with the solo version of On the Real and some shitty remixes.

Verge, the Arsenal mix of Life's A Bitch is great, didn't hear it for years until recently. The Illmatic anniversary edition was lame to not include all the remixes and maybe even a bunch of freestyles.
