The intro syncs in with Murda Musik way better then "Streets Raised Me" then the Cormega freestyle at the end that goes into Deer Park.......The Intro to "Hoes Gonna Be A Hoe" is intact and not chopped up like the retail..... and the song arrangement is overall flawless.
1. Murda Muzik
2. Deer Park
3. Feel My Gat Blow
4. Hoes Gonna Be A Hoe
5. Thrill Me
6. Allustrious
7. Adrenaline
8. Where Ya' From
9. White Lines
10. Where Ya Heart At
11. You fukkin' Wit
12. Thug Muzik
13. The Realest shyt
14. This One
15. That True shyt

The original White Lines with no hook and deeper bass....This was the highlight of that Clue tape. First time I heard this I had me like 
When the bootleg dropped I notice they switched it up.

I’ve told this story before but fun note about the making of The Realest.
Alchemist made a little 2 bar loop with intentions of it being a little 20 second interlude to go between 2 actual songs. He never played it for rappers to listen to as an actual beat for them to pick up rap over.
The only reason it got used for The Realest is because he left a disc of beats at the studio, and when he was at home Hav, P, and G Rap all listened to it and wanted to rap over it.
So if Alc hadn’t been home that day that G Rap was around we might’ve never heard it.
Also, Thug Muzik was a completed Infamous Mobb song. P heard it afterwards, liked it, and decided to hop on the end and put it on Murda Muzik.

My favorite joint that got cut from the album. This was the closest we got to Hell in Earth sounding Mobb Deep. Hav went to the 7th circle of hell to make this beat.

I listened to the retail version yesterday and this version today, and you were absolutely right. I’ve always maintained that streets raised me was a very dope intro because it subverted expectations. But it works even better as a final song, especially with how well the Ronald Reagan intro feeds into the title track. Also thug muzik flows into the realest so much better without the title track in between. But what happened to P’s verse on fukkin with (3 the hard way) ?
When I listen to this version I didn’t really find myself missing goin’ out or spread love. And I’ve never loved the quiet storm remix. I did miss the joint with Raekwon and it’s mine but overall you’re right. That was a flawless listen.
But
there must be multiple bootlegs. What happened to pile raps, nobody likes me, pyramid points, and perfect plot? I can do without the last couple but if I bump the bootleg I need pile raps and nobody likes me.EDIT: I know it was never on an official bootleg but it was recorded during the Murda muzik sessions and I always love this joint. Especially with all the Heat movie references and Hav sampling the theme music from it. This could have been dope near the end of the album

Interesting. Just out of curiosity was it the first one that you heard? And do you like the retail or the bootleg?My favorite Mobb album (TI n HOE were good but too many bland boom bap beats for me), can bump this bytch front to back thrice easily
. But what happened to P’s verse on fukkin with (3 the hard way) ?
Yeah I was listening to it right after I posted it and noticed whoever posted this doesnt have Ps verse....I still have the tape 20 years later and mine does. My tape has a lil crinkle in the middle of Thrill Me cuz my toddler son at the time was ripping out the tape when i wasnt looking. So when Thrill Me wasn't on the retail I was pissed cuz the bootlegs weren't around anymore. Little did I know the internet would solve that problem years later. I had ran that tape into the ground so when the official version finally dropped I felt like hip hop was cheated....I get why they switched it up but that bootleg dominated my spring and summer.I felt like they shoulda just just put the Raekwon joint and the Nas joint (and maybe the Lil Kim remix) at the end of the bootleg version.
The first version I had was the so-called “Reviewer Copy” with the “Cop That” Drop On every song.
Track list was:
- Quiet Storm
- Allustrious
- Mobb Coming Through
- Guns, Money, p*ssy
- The Realest
- Shiesty
- Feel My Gat Blow
- Where Your Heart At
- How You Want It
- Murda Muzik
- The Streets Raised Me
- Pile Raps
- Nobody Likes Me
- Hoe Gonna Be a Hoe
- Aight Then
- Where You From
- Thug Muzik
I must have played this 1000 times.
I took a bus from the Bay down to Santa Bar-Bray and i listened to this nonstop for like 8 hours until my ears hurt :prodigylol:
I had the version you posted as well but that was a couple months later as I recall.

For anyone that is a Murda Muzik fan, this Prodigy freestlye over Dr. Dre and LOX beats is a must-listen. I believe he did this right after Murda Muzik dropped, so it's a good companion piece.
he spits a few long verses, including Pile Raps in the beginning. I don't wanna time-code the link but he's faded and takes a minute to really get going, but IMO the blacking out starts when the LOX beats start. 4:58, 8:09 11:54, and 14:15, and 15:47 are where the best verses start.

Okay that explains why I hadn't heard the version that @smokeurobinson posted but I knew I had a version with a chick in the back on every song doing those drops and I thought THAT was the bootleg version. I was bugging this morning because I swore my non-retail version had Nobody Likes Me and Pile Raps on it, and this 3rd "review version" exlains it. .
I think that also explains why I never thought the bootleg was way way better than the retail. Because the review copy's tracklist doesn't flow all that well IMO.
But I wonder if they just threw a bunch of the songs on the review copy and that was never the real track sequence? 
Because there are a lot of similarities between the tracklist on the retail and what @smokeurobinson posted. They basically just twekaed the first half of the album, but the 2nd half is basically the same. The review copy of the album's tracklist is all over the fukking map. Streets Raised Me in the Middle? Hoe be a Hoe near the end? Thug Muzik as the last track? That shyt makes no sense.So
what I gotta do now is figure out how to fit Nobody Likes Me and Pile Raps (and ideally It's Mine and Can't fukk With) into the bootleg version without making it too bloated or fukking up the flow....@mobbinfms you got a tracklist you prefer the most?
EDIT: If anyone wants to hear what the chick sounded like on the reviewer version of the album here's Pile Raps: MEGA
