The CD actually goes for like $40-$50 because it was pulled off the shelves over the sample dispute. Or at least last I saw it was.

I remember hearing the remix when I was a younger uncensored on the radio, I didn't know the name of the track or nothing except hearing a chick rhyme, another dude and Method Man was on the track. So years later when I looked it up all I had to go off of was:


DUN DUN DUN SHUT THE fukk UP :canibus: And immediately Simon Says pops up :laugh:

If that sample would've been cleared that could have changed the course of Hip Hop. I believe Pharoah would have been widely regarded as one of the GOAT's due to the comercial success of that record.

Never was?

I mean it was a huge record back in the day. One of those so big in the underground it kinda made a little noise in the mainstream kinda way (commercial, tv and movie tip). Shame the Godzilla people wanted to come through and crush the buildings with the sample issue.

The biggest that song could ever get success wise is prolly Black Rob Whoa levels...and its pretty much already that. Lol at nikkas acting like that Internal Affairs woulda sold Wu Tang forever numbers...if only they coulda cleared the sample FOH.
