thank god he changed that shyt. woulda single handedly made illmatic a 4 mic album

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

That unused Represent is kinda dope

 

[Pop123]

both them unused joints sound like trash compared to the versions on the album

exactly

I felt the same way. It was rightfully replaced. Imagine that shyt being on Illmatic and then hearing the retail version from Preemo being released years later.

Both of these versions just aren't dark enough, and would stand out like a sore thumb on the album. Good decisions.

 

[shanikt]

definitely don't feel like it would've fit the flow of the album, the retail memory lane beat is one of my all time favorites, glad it became that

 

[ChrisDorner]

Album was wack regardless so

Since we're talking about unreleased Nas material, Pete Rock needs to go ahead and release his Street Dreams remix.

Album versions are perfect, theres a reason they went back and did what they did. Thank god for that
