I guess with the Dead Presidents re-release and the 30th anniversary on the way, S C thought it was a good time to share this:

A pretty historical bit of audio right here. Jay-Z runs through a few of reasonable doubt tracks that some are slightly different from what we would finally get when the album offically dropped. peep the timestamps & notes of the differences from the released version below.

Tracklist/Timestamps -
00:24 Politics As Usual - Unfinished Version, 1st Verse Only with Instrumental play out with Jay & Dame talking over it

02:43 Feelin' It - 2nd Verse Only, Alternative Vocal Take & Beat Drops

04:20 Can I Live - 2nd verse only

05:48 Can't Knock The Hustle - Unfinished Version No Mary Hook, 1st Verse + Unreleased Freestyle Verse Only

08:40 22 Two's - 1st verse only

"Any ill feelings I harbor you can blame it on the Vibe"

I really like sauce money 2nd verse here. Describing a murder in a very poetic way. Jay z verses in the 2nd dead or alive are better than in this one
