Which version of Nas' "No Idea's Original" is better?

[Danie84]

A Barry sample always makes the cypher complete: BLACKEXCELLENCE

 

[JuvenileHell]

Lost Tapes in general is just

 

[the cac mamba]

im guessing your parents didn't play much Barry White huh cac?






Im surprised yall leprous albinos still like anything with rhythm and soul after the Creator zapped 99% of it out of you along with your melanin and any trace of love for him

OG version , not even close

I was really disappointed when I put Lost Tapes in and it wasn't the OG version. The Lost Tapes version is good, but the original with the Alc beat is on another level, in my opinion.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

the lost tapes one

the other one sound like some shyt some corny ass dudes would have a rap battle over

 

[GeeEffKay]

Do i have to pick

 

[Big Mark]

I applaud the producers and appreciate them for trying very hard to get as close to their original vision for the songs as possible when the sample is not cleared. In Nas's catalog, this has happened multiple times. On Fetus, No Idea's Original, America, The Message.

I'm going with the OG No Idea's Original and it's probably mostly because I love The Watch over Barry White. But I think the OG beat fit the song better.
OG Fetus & Project Window and those shouldn't be a contest.

I was beginning to think that no one remembered the OG No Idea's Original.

BTW does anyone have the OG LA, LA track? I can't find that ish anywhere. Damn mixtapes on cassette

 

[Piff Perkins]

Lost Tapes. Those drums>

 

[IllmaticDelta]

I think so too. It just sounds a little crisper and smoother.

Lost Tapes version (better IMO)

Original beat on fetus

 

[Pazzy]

Stillmatic version. The lost tapes version ain't even all that especially when ghost had a way better version of that beat. The watch was sick.

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Lost Tapes version always reminds me of New York shyt by Busta even though it came out earlier, just cause I heard that first

 

[Asicz]

I heard the OG version the first time on the Stillmatic Tour I was amazed.

 

[Sinister]

I think so too. It just sounds a little crisper and smoother.
