@@cwpalacios1rewound those two tracks so much… Between Puff screaming and that tape’s particularly loud mastering of this clanging piano loop my Aiwa headphones were leaking obnoxious on every train and bus I rode that Spring and Summer.
“It was written” ended up classic as is …would have been nice for “I am” though ….the production slid down hill on that one ….Marley has a bar …he always come correct.
If Nas was to do a versus against Jay……this would be a perfect song to kick it off……a street banger that hasn’t been over exposed …but when the beat drop…..it’s gonna come back to people like “oh!!”
facts. i LOVE it when i hear the jay mainstream acting like jay's b-sides alone would wash nas....i'm like ya'll really don't know nas' catalog and how far back it goes.
KL ABSOLUTELY SLAUGHTERED THIS JOINT - RIP !!!!! S/O TO SCREWBALL, BLAQ POET !!! 🙏🏾 !!! Rip to Hostyle as well! LEGENDARY JOINT RIGHT HERE FROM ‘95!!!!
It's just amazing that this instru remains confidential in the Hip Hop history. One of the best song ever produced, even if a little slow in this version. Exceptional.
This was to ME the original version because it's the one I heard FIRST. I wore the fuck out of the TDR tape I had this on. This was my first time hearing Cormega and been a fan since. Can't wait for The Realness 2. "Shareholders of the CULTURE"
@@juseasy9308 Yup. This is the original. I heard this joint on Marley Marl Pete Rock show Future Flavas Sunday nights 10-midnight. I believe Marley Marl produced this joint.
I remember taping this track in September 1995 from Marley marl show Future flava and that wa the first time it got played on the radio as an exclusive
FINALLY !!! This is the Original , the 1st version Marley Marl did .... Underground Buttahs & H. O. P. records got it ..... all the other versions are different .........
@@noeljohnson1021 very true. Imagine an early 80's B-boy battle recorded onto grainy VHS tape. It can be re-digitized into Ultra Super 5K HD, but the raw VHS footage gives it flavor! peace.
This is from Marley's "FUTURE FLAVA SHOW" this type of rawness you don't even hear nowadays.
East coast...bring THIS music back....PLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
For real, I hate NY rap that sounds like the West!
Scratchy, dirty, grimy, the floor under the 7 train on Roosevelt Ave. Luvvit.
Stfu
Flushing bsby 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I first heard this on 99.9 Stretch & Bobbito...shout to all the real hip hop heads
The legendary show, they had heat.
I think those dudes got hidden diamonds and gold
Had this on a mix tape 95-96 timeframe along with You'll See by Big and LOX had to be the best underground mixed tape I ever heard
Knowledge. Goodtimes.
Pull them tapes out and feel good dude.
Blessings
Bad Boy Vol 3 mixed by Stretch Armstrong. It was the second song on side a.
@@cwpalacios1 that would be it ! Miss that era

No doubt! I guess we're showing how much older we all are now, lol. It's all good.
This version is raw
This track is Legendary 🗡️⌛⚖️⚡👑🌬️ and Timeless
Oh man....... jumping on the time machine setting up back to 95 REAL RAP...LONG LIVE THE CULTURE 🎵🎶🔥❤️🙏
The NY I was raised in
@@STANKYWARRIOR facts 😅
First heard this on the best of Cormega. Lost that cd and been looking for it ever since.
Whats crazy is that Nas originally wanted his second album done solely by Marly! And this was done right before he hooked up with Stout.
“It was written” ended up classic as is …would have been nice for “I am” though ….the production slid down hill on that one ….Marley has a bar …he always come correct.
How this never really got refined and made an album is nuts to me.
If Nas was to do a versus against Jay……this would be a perfect song to kick it off……a street banger that hasn’t been over exposed …but when the beat drop…..it’s gonna come back to people like “oh!!”

I remember taping this track in September 1995 from Marley marl show Future flava and that wa the first time it got played on the radio as an exclusive
also Nas used his verse as freestyle on Yo MTV raps when Mobb Deep dropped the Infamous and they had Nas and Rae in the studio

str8 fire.
This is the original but i think Nas rerecorded his version because this sound un mixed recored with a garbage mic and air..makes it classic
🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Nas verse
Ian
Like Colombians with bad Coke that..........
This shit is ridiculous
Too much treble
Noel Johnson the fact that it sounds like it would’ve sounded in a hooked up Jeep back in ‘95 makes it endearing to me. 💪🏼
@@ferchoandres I can see that. It's almost like watching a vintage VHS tape where you can tell the shit you're watching is ancient

dubbed upon dubbed upon dubbed….us 80s babies familiar with that …..every dub the hiss increase a little …and some lower mids begin to filter
lmao Yup
