Song is a throwaway from Hip Hop Is Dead sessions with Game verses added..








Still a classic:blessed:

Aside from the lyrics, I wonder how much of this song is actually from the Nas version. The sample? The hook? I wish someone would cut the game sit out so I an have just Nas on the track. Hopefully, the original will leak so I can add it to my unreleased Nas track collection.

The way it was described in a Scratch article years ago was that Will I Am sampled a bunch of project sounds (dogs barking, sirens wailing, etc) and made a beat out if it to go with the "Ghetto" theme. The original title was "The Whole World's A Ghetto" so I'm guessing the beat that made the album is different

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I wish that one would be leaked. Its probably safe to say that it wont end up on any future Lost Tape volume.
