unreleased album Never Seen Us Coming which I had since ’04. Also not to mention I have Soulja Slim & B.G. Soulja Slim is one of my favorite’s also and rest in peace to the real soldier! Anyway I wanted to include the original version of “Slow Motion” without Juvenile. This song sound like a outtake from Reasonable Doubt or maybe a song he was working on during In My Lifetime Vol. The hook kinda predicted Jaz-O and Jay-Z friendship when you listen to it and look at all the shit that happened as time went on. Songs like this remind me why I liked Jay-Z in the first place. Jay-Z‘s “The Life I Chose” is one of my favorite songs from Jigga and he was spitting. If you don’t know who is 2nd II None is just go ahead and look him up. I’m sure a lot of ya’ll remember DJ Quik‘s “Dollaz N Sense” from Murder Was The Case soundtrack and from his 3rd album but this is the true original unreleased version with 2nd II None. I wish “The Bridge ’94” was in better quality! Anyway I included some of their unreleased songs which they have a lot of shit that haven’t been leaked yet. I don’t know if I ever told people but Mobb Deep use to be one of my favorite duos back in the day even when 2Pac was dissing the hell out of them I still liked Mobb Deep but when it came down to it I’ll slide with Pac before I slide with the Mobb. His first verse was used on Raekwon’s “Verbal Intercourse”. Nas’s “Deja Vu” is another one of my favorite unreleased songs he made. You can tell Large Professor did that beat around the time he was completing Main Source’s Breaking Atoms album *Classic album by the way*. Nas‘s “I Will Prevail” (It Ain’t Hard To Tell 1992 Version) to me is so fucking ill. Idles shit but rappers use to do mad commercials for that company such as Ice Cube, Geto Boys, 2Pac, Wu Tang Clan, Mc Ehit and so forth. Idles commercial song from Snoop Dogg from the original St Idles 1994 tape, for those who aren’t in their 20’s yet probably don’t remember the St.
I made sure I included “The Hoe Hopper” which is a unreleased song from The Chronic album. Artists such as Kurupt, Chocolate, Snoop, Dogg Pound are some of the unreleased Death Row shit I decided to share. I forgot to include one from CPO Boss Hog which I liked a lot but I guess that will go on the next installment I suppose. I went ahead and threw in some unreleased Death Row Records material since there is a lot of songs that is still unreleased. Who knows maybe I’ll include a unreleased MJ song or two in the next mixtape I choose to make. I’m a music man as you can see besides me being a Hip-Hop fiend I also love rock, alternative rock, jazz, some pop, some R&B, soul & old school R&B I was going to include some unreleased Michael Jackson songs but I thought to myself “Hmmmm this is a Hip-Hop site so that wouldn’t go well with this mixtape…”.
I wanted to do a mixtape of the unreleased, original & rare songs I had in my collection for many years I never leaked out. What up guys? Yeah I know ya’ll are use to me doing the 2Pac mixes but this is something different since I been getting request to do something a little different *2Pac Volume 12 still will be coming sooner or later!*
