*Gettin' the non-vid version on the album unappreciation thread*

[Taadow]

I mean, we all bought Funkdafied, and yes it was a classic. But when you got to the last cut, you thought it was gonna sound like this:



but nah - it had this beat!



it was aight...but you thought it was gonna be the one with the horn blasts and whatnot! BOOOO.



...and it's fitting that Lyte was in the 1st vid. She did the same thing a couple years later.



This had the skating rink hot. Don't even fight me on this, niccas...



B-b-b-but then, you cop the album - and it's this!



Da fucc, mayne! Where's Missy and the Chic sample??



Scust. Who else did this?

 

[Canada Goose]

Lloyd Banks did this on Karma, the hook is sung by a different singer in the video than the one on the album.

 

[Existential]

One of the most annoying things ever, not just video versions either.

Biggie One More Chance......need I say more

 

[Taadow]

Biggie One More Chance......need I say more

No doubt...and not just the video version, but I wanted the version with the "Who's Making Love" sample...

 

[MoneyBags]

Man it took me years to finally get the official release of the video version of give it to u. I remember hearing the album version and thinking it was some bullshyt, even as a kid. That video version is too damn clean, JD was in the zone in 95-96

 

[Danny Up]

That when singles still sold.

 

[Taadow]

That when singles still sold.

This is true. And this was kinda the beginning of the "$4 single" era, too.

I wasn't tryna spend $4 on the single when I could buy the album for $10...

 

[Taadow]

Thought of another one:


Album version:



Whaaaat? I want the chit with the Marvin Gaye sample!!

 

[east]

the shyt that annoys me even more is when verses are different or missing on the album versions, like with big pimpin. some of pac's video versions like i ain't mad at cha are better too, that third verse is a damn classic!



another one i thought of

 

[THE K-MAN]

#1 SONG COMES TO MIND!

 

[Deltron]

or if they drop a remix version as the video/single...you cop the album thinking you're getting that version but you get another version. At least some albums had the courtesy to have that shyt as a hidden track sometimes.

[Taadow]

I was bumpin' that Grand Puba album today, and got mad again when I got to "Check It Out".

 

[DoomzdayzV]
