i'm keeping the Tip Remix of One Love & CDQ of I'm A Villain and a couple of other joints but who the fukk is the Butcher?

 

[FloorGeneral]

That cover is absolute garbage. I replaced it with the OG cover with the quickness. What in the hell was Nas/Sony thinking with that shyt?

i listened to the Butcher remix of Halftime back when it leaked. the beat is cool, i'm glad they didn't try to modernise it and make some trap beat or something. BUT why put 3 Ain't Hard To Tell remixes on there? why put no name producers on there? of all the producers fans have wanted to see Nas with over the years why the fukk choose some guy named Butcher? you're telling me there was no more pre Illmatic songs they could have put on here? there's no live versions? no live production? fukk they should have released that orchestra piece Nas did recently as the second disc, THAT would have been something worthy of a 20th anniversary
