Peep Jay Z's Original Reasonable Doubt Tracklist

[JordanWearinThe45]

The fellas over at 2DBZ got their hands on the original tracklist for Jay-Z’s seminal 1996 debut LP and lo and behold, there are some surprises. First off the sequencing is different. As the Dopeboyz noted, the sequencing on the version of the album that made it to retail is way better, but I suppose hindsight is 20/20.

The other thing you notice immediately is that the album would’ve included 3 extra tracks that didn’t make it onto the version that we are familiar with. What became of these songs? Were they leaked under different titles, or were the lyrics cannibalized for other songs? It’s very possible that they exist on a hard drive or DAT out there somewhere, in which case, GOOD GOD JAY YOU GOT YOUR PUBLISHING, LEAK THOSE shytS ALREADY MAN.

This is what it is:

Will we ever hear "The Hurt", "Tell Me" & "Hot"?

I will not be able to readily lie on my deathbed accepting my place in the grave until i hear those 3 tracks and his rumored tracks with biggie

 

[Cloud McFly]

There was to be even more to my fav album?

 

[Harry B]

Those verses on those tracks might for all we know be on different songs.

 

[SoulController]

Bring It On was supposed to have AZ and Nas on it right? guess thats why Bring It On was left open

 

[Redwing80]

Naw I gotta hear them tracks b

 

[904]

I'm just glad bleek wasn't on can i live

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Sheeeeeiiit you aint neva lie Bleek aint wack or anything, he always did his thing on jays albums, i just cant picture him on that song in heinz sight

 

[re'up]

Bleek was on 'Can I Live II', maybe that explains his guest spot there. I hate how these artists, companies, excecs, cling to these unreleased songs from almost 20 years ago, just fukking release them Jay, as a free mix tape or something. They want to hold out for a fukking 'Unreleaed Hits' album to cross promote a new iPhone edition or something….
