• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to put on pause for the time being. Just way
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: too much maintenance trying to send things over there, and
• 1:25

  Speaker 1: and robust Patreon audience to support, you know, the things
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that are being done right here on this podcast, like
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the production of the YouTube version of Hip Hop Now podcasts.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know, maybe you've been listening to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the audio version for a very long time and you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: know you're like, oh, this video version, yes there is,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: there's been one for almost a year now. Quick backstory.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: At one point, I was going to end the podcast,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to be honest, because I've been doing it for a while,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and the fiftieth year of hip hop was twenty twenty three, and.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, what, Like, I can't end it, But
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I decided.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, let me just make
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the video version that some people have been asking for
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the entire time.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So I did that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The channel started out, the channel was always around, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: as far as hip Hop Now podcast the weekly show,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the audience was kind of like around fifty sixty, went
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: up to like one hundred to two hundred subscribers. Then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we kind of made a push recently to five hundred,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: hit five hundred, and now we are at seven hundred
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: plus subscribers on YouTube. So I want to thank everybody
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: who hit that subscribe button, but please know the majority
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the people who watch my videos, whether it be
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: long form or shorts not subscribe now, it is your
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: prerogative if you don't want to subscribe to the channel,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but if you enjoy the content and you want to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: see more, subscribing is the best way to send that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: kind of a message, as well as hitting the light button.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Content that we've had on the channel recently, like I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: did the interview with Marcus J. Moore, who is the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: author of the now controversial Dayla Soul book that I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: think you should watch the interview.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to sway anybody.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say go against your hip hop
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: favorites because they told you or whatever they did say
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is your prerogative. If you want to purchase the book
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or read the book, I suggest you watch my interview
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: with the author to get real insight into his intentions.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And then if you really not that soul but you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: need more. I mean we all have phones, right, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: can go to your favorite book at whether it be
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Kindle or Eyebooks or whatever and just get the sample
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and just read some of it and if it doesn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: sound like what you want or you're still not into it,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: just like with any other product out there that is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: there for purchase at least you just make that decision
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on whether you want to read it or not. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: also on the channel, you know, Kendrick dropped an album,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I did a quick reaction, but then I did a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: full on reaction review, kind of breakdown, just a little
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: bit nothing crazy right here on the channel of Kendrick
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Lamar's new album g n X. So check that out.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of content, and today we have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: some really really really dope things to talk about. Like
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: if you're a music head, if you're a hip hop head.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Right hold on my watch, going crazy, you have like.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Been collecting hip hop forever, how long or however old
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you are, right, Like, I'm a cat who was born
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, late seventies, but it doesn't I don't
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: own like Stevie Wonder's classic albums because I did the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: knowledge on the music in that time where I wasn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: born yet, and I made my connections with the music
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just based off of my listening. Right, So I feel
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: like what hip hop is the same thing. If you're younger,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe discovered like why people love nineties hip
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: hop so much or eighties hip hop, and maybe you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: went down that rabbit hole building your collection. If you're
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: my age or in and around that time and you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: love music, you've been building it forever. One of the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: things that at least back in the days used to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: drive us crazy as hip hop heads, is like shelved albums,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: right albums that was like, yo, we heard rumors, there
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was interviews, there's all kinds of breadcrumbs to a new
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: album from this artist.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And it never dropped or got shelved right and unreleased.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Sometimes in recent years we're able to get that music
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: like right, Large Professor said, the LP by the album
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: when I drop it, and it never.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Dropped until years later.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So the LP that Large Professor talked about on tracoal
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Quest's Midnight Marauders is available for you to listen today,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: which is dope. But back then it was frustrating because
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it was like where is it?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: And at that point we were like, never came out?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Foxy Brown talked about Ill nine two, and I'm not
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: big on sequels, but ILL nine two when I had
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the bootleg, was like crazy, and I was like, man,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: this album never really came out until it did. Same
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: thing with Rod Digger with her follow up to Dirty Harriet.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So there's a history of highly anticipated, unreleased hip hop
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: albums that I'd have never released or eventually were released
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: in some shape or form, and some of them you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: can listen to on streaming services. But what we're doing
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: here is something a little bit different because originally, when
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Nas dropped I Am and I Am Nostradamus, right or
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Nostra Domus, I should say, originally that album was supposed
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to be a double album, and it was very different.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: There were a number of songs that were on the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: bootleg version of that album that wind up either a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: few hitting Naza's I Am album and really one which
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is Project Window hitting the Nostradamus album. And then there
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: was a bunch of songs that were on that bootleg
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that just never saw the light of day. Right, So
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Naz put out this album called the Lost Tapes. This
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was probably somewhere in between Nora Domus still Madic god
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Son area, like right around those well, let's put it
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: this way, I am Nostra Domas.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And then there's the.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Hold on we got we got sounds popping off on
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the phone, my bad, even though I don't know where
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that came from, whatever the case, So we basically had
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: these leftovers and songs that got replaced because of bootlegging
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that were now on this out called The Lost Tapes, right,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and it features songs like Blaze of fifty, Black.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Zombie do Rag. You know what I'm saying.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Nobody's original and the tape was so dope to people
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of this unreleased NAS music. This you know, on the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: cutt and floor kind of NOAs music that like, yo.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It's never going on an album them, but they're.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Too good to just leave, you know, in some studio
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: on somebody's hard drive or whatever. So let's put it
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in the form of this album called The Lost Tapes.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And most people consider it a classic some people. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: saw one post on Reddit from a couple of years
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: ago where a dude said it's NAS's second best album
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in his catalog. Now I don't know about that, but
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: if you want to talk about NAS classics, you can
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: call it a classic. And I won't fight you, because
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it really was that like we were playing it like
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it was an album. And something like this happened in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the past with Earth Winding Fires first Greatest Hits, which
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is you know you heard those songs before. But I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: think at that point I don't know if like they
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: had a bunch of fans that knew their albums, so
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: when they dropped his Greatest Hits, it kind of put
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: people on to how great they were and probably went
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: back and listened to the albums. But the Greatest Hits
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: album was so popular that it literally was like one
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of their best albums, even though the songs appeared on
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: another album.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So this is somewhat like that, but more.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Like lost tapes, more like songs that you heard on mixtapes,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you heard snippets of, you know, all kinds of things
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: like that that never really either landed on an album
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: or landed later as a part of a deluxe or whatever.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: But these are five artists who had lost tapes like
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: albums in that catalog that you can go and listen
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to right now. Now I'm not saying these are better
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on the same level, but I think if you like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the artists and maybe you heard songs here and there
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and one of the yo, what happened to that joint?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: What happened to this one? They're available, they're just on
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: their version of lost tape. So let's start right at
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the top. Mob Deep Free Agents. This is a album
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: almost like a double album. It's a lot of songs
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: on here, but this is an album that featured a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: ton of Mob Deep records that I believe was supposed
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to be on a couple of Mob Deep albums, but
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you know, they just didn't work out, so they wound
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: up being albums they had when they got out of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: their deal, I believe with Loud Records, and right before
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they went and signed with g Unit, right free Agents dropped,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And I remember, like I thought it was just like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: some made up bootleg things, cause I was like, what
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is this? Free Agents just sound like somebody just took,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you know, some freestyles off of mixtape and some loose
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: songs off of mixtapes and put it together.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: But nah, this is official. You can go and listen
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: to this right now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Some of the standout tracks, we're just gonna do three
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: per album, but on here paid in full.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: What can I do? And it's over giving you that
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: mob D vibe and style.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And throughout the project you could tell which version of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Prodigy you're getting by just listening to them. Right They
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: even have a like Survival of the Fittest. I think
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it's two thousand and three, so it's like a updated
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: with new verses basically at that time, so that was
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a very dope album. The next one I have up
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is fairly recently in comparison, but it's Kendrick's Kendrick Lamar's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: untitled unmastered. The crazy part about this is Kendrick performed
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: one or two of the or even three of these
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: songs building up to I believe Pimp a Butterfly right
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: or Durant one all right after one or the other,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: but I think some of them were heard right before.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: It's a Pimple Butterfly also damn like right in the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: middle of those joints, and it can hold his own
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: like an album. I know some people who rank this
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: joint pretty high when they're ranking Kendrick Lamar albums, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it's because, man, it was like when you saw him
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: perform some of these records and the standout records. Honestly,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it feels weird to even save the three, but I'm
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a saying, but they're not really gonna do anything unless
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you go on press play because the standouts are untitled one,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: title six, and untitled seven. They don't necessarily have names
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: beyond the fact that they're untitled. But to me, those
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we are the standout records. But you know, watching him perform,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you know this song and you're captivated by the performance,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and you know he got an album coming, or you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: an album just dropped, and you're like, damn, why this
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: ain't on it?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe it's on the next album.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Then the next album drops and it's not there because
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it was on this untitled unmastered And I think it's
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a very dope lost tapes for Kendrick that some people
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: either forgot about or never realized this existed. So next
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: one up, ghost Face Killer Hidden Dart's Special Edition. This
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: one is dead to my heart. You know why because
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: it contains some records that were supposed to be featured
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: on I was gonna say, Incarcerated Scarfaces, Supreme flyingtele and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: then what's the other one where he cooking like a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: huge grilled cheese or whatever that is? Hold on, I'm
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: blanking right now. Let's just go and look, because honestly,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that's the easiest way to get past it. Bulletproof Wallets,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Why I didn't even have to look came to my mind.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Bulletproof Wallets was the follow up ghost Face's third album,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: but the follow up to Supreme Client Tel and I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: remember having the bootleg that contained not only the records
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that were released, but also the records that didn't make
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the album, And at that time, it was kind of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: like a screw up with Sony because like in some cases,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: if me and you bought the same album, the track
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: listing on the back was different, and in some cases
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it was different songs, And for me, I was just
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: heated because the bootleg was like the complete version. If
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that version would have released ghost Face, most people would
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: have been like, Yo, ghost Face got three class solo
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: classics in a row, but Sony botched it. But this
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Hidden Darts Special Edition contains three of those songs that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: was originally on Bulletproof Wallets, one being the watch feature
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in Ray Kwan the Sun that also features Slick Rick,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and Good Times, which also features Ray Kwon. I don't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: know if Ray Kwon was on the original I heard,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: but he's on this version. Yes, good Times. They sampled
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a Good Times beat and ghost Face kills it. But
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: there's more than just this on it. It's a bunch
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of like the Odd Couple with cap of Donna's on it,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: so it's it's basically almost like lost tapes material, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: also a couple of Lucy's that appeared you know, around
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but never really on a ghost Face album. Very dope
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: if you're in the ghost Face and you've never heard
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of this. Merry Christmas Bars, two more to Go, Mop,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Mark's Men Cinema standout tracks on Here Half and Half,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: which I believe features Gangstar, the Money Got law Us,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and Here Today Going Tomorrow. This is literally like a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: double album, and it's a similar situation that Mob Deep had,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like being in between deals. I think this was in
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: between Mop's Rockefeller deal and their deal with g Unit,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: or maybe this was a lot of gun and stuff,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: but it was like in CD form. It was two CDs,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: so it was like an MOP double album of songs
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that didn't make any albums for Mop, you know what
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I think maybe towards the tail and there's some.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I guess like greatest hits like cod des Ices on
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the Rugged Never Smooth, But the majority of this double
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: album is records. At the time, you know, most people
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: never heard of you know, I know I didn't. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was I thought this was like a mixtape, you know
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that might have had a couple of Loosey's here and there,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: but also contained you know, songs we heard. Until I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: heard it, I was like, man, like, it's like fifteen
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: joints on it. It's almost like nineteen joints that I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: had never heard until that point. So if you're a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: fan of mop in that style of music, and you
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: never heard of Marksman's Cinema, go ahead and do it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Take the deep dive.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's on music streaming platform, so you don't got to
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: go search the internet for it. You can just go
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: press play listen. And the last joint I got up
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: is one one lost tape, so to speak, that's very
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: near and dear to my heart. Quick story if you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: don't mind, but I remember I was going on a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: college tour to Syracuse because my gods counselor in high school.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: She knew I wanted to go to an HBCU, but
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: she was like, you know, go up there. I know
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: you mentioned before that you know you Syracuse was probably
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a school you would want to go to. You know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: they I could get you some scholarships because you're local,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and da da da, you know, I'm helped with the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: costs and it's great school and all this stuff and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: even though by that time I was like sold on
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: going to HBCU. I went because it was the school
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I was looking at before I had changed my mind,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and I remember we took a bus ride up there.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: It was dumb cold, it snowed and all of that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: It's part of the reason why I didn't go, because
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, man, I'm from New York.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I'm used to it being cold, but it's too cold,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: too damn cold.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But the one album that I was playing to deaf
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: because I had just bought it was Ice Cubes bootlegs
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and B sides Standout Records on here is What Can
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I Do?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Remix.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I think mac ten is on that joint twenty four
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: with an l which didn't appeal on no Ice Cube album,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and it was crazy and Check Yourself remixed with Dis's Effects,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: which I don't believe was on the Predator album at
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the time. And I think this was the way you
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: get it or the way I got it through by this.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I played this tape to death, y'all, and this tape
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is more so. You know, some unreleased joints, some Lucy
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Well unreleased Lucy's whatever but unreleased songs, some remixes, that
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: didn't appear on any albums as you can see, like
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you know how we do it and today was a
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: good day.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: There's a remix of that on there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And you know they appeared on singles, you know, back
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: in the days they had you know, if they if
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Check Yourself was out, you go buy the single cassette
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: or CD or whatever, and it would have the instrumental,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: but it would also contain like the remix and the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: remix instrumental or multiple remixes. But this was a project
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that if at the time, you know, I excuse what
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: four solo albums came out and you know, you knew
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: there were records that you heard before, but they never
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: really appeared anywhere. You could just buy the new album
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and it's dead. This was a way to like add
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to your collection. And for me, like when I say,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I played it the whole weekend, like the whole weekend
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: up there in Syracuse, it was just on repeat, just.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Listening you know, over like learning the lyrics all of that.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: So there you have it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Man, that's five lost tapes, like albums from other hip
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: hop artists not named Nons. Do you know something that
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I don't because please put me on because I'm the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: type who liked to go in deep dive. There's some
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: other ones that exist, but I think as complete projects
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they're not that strong. You know, they have like one
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: or two joints, like p D. Krag has a joint
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: called crack Files Volume one, but to me, there's a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: lot more skips on there. And then the songs that
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: are hot are really hot. But these five are almost
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: like getting new albums or getting a version of a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: song that you're like, man, I got all his albums,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: but that one joint I heard or the video version
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I saw was never on the album. These are albums
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: where you could just go lock in and get them all,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: especially that ghost Face joint like ghose Face joint, solid
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: from beginning to end.
