Collabos that let you down

[Awesome Wells]

Analyze That is a real track. The original is called No Love Lost and its Shaq feat Lord Tariq, Nas and Jay-Z. Nas verse was removed from the album, and Lord Tariq has a different verse which he talks about coke. so that is the first Nas and Jay-Z collabo. When it resurfaced later (without Shaq), Nas verse was added to the album Lord Tariq verse, and Shaq was removed. It is not a cut-n-paste like Renegades is.

I know, I had the Shaq album.

But the version of the track with both Hov and Nas on it, isn't real. Nas was on the original version, but got pulled off the record because Columbia didn't authorize his appearance. That original version popped up on a Clue tape back then. That's when they threw Hov on it, for the retail. Ill Will mixed that "Analyze That" version with both of them on it with Tariq and took Shaq off. Jay and Nas never worked together on the song, that was my point.

Looking back on it Lupe & Jay's Pressure was kinda disappointing.

Hov's verse was plus that beat didn't really move me. One of the worst tracks on F&L.

The one on Clue (Fall Pt 1) had Jay-Z on it. This came out several months before Shaq's album, so this is the original. I still have the original Clue cassette. But Nas' appearance on Shaq's album was over the early advertisments, so was Jay-Z, so all evidence points to Nas & Jay-Z being on the original. The remixed version Analyze That, popped up in '00-'01, with Nas resurfaced verse and that Lord Tariq album verse.



They key was finding this lost verse from Lord Tariq.
