It Was Written era Nas tracks with D'Angelo & Methodman still unreleased in the vault

[Mindfield333]

Probably was never recorded. I remember when CAnibus debut was coming out, he was supposed to have production from Rza and Primo. We found out later that canibus turned down what D'angelo would later record as "Devil's Pie" and the Rza beat never happened. Things happen and people get sidetracked.

I can’t see canibus abrasive rhymes being better then what became devils pie

on another note, 'No Such Thing As White Jesus' finally did get released, sort of, on Lost Tapes 2.

The song name was changed to 'Royalty' instead, - I guess to avoid controversy?? And they replaced Frank Ocean with a weaker singer lady named RaVaughn who really doesn't do it justice. Which is a damn shame, I'm not sure why they did the song dirty like that when so many people had been buzzing and anticipating that song, and HitBoy had already found the hardrive with the original.

Was already a shame when it didnt make it onto 'Life Is Good' as it was originally intended, but in my opinion I think its kinda even worse that they quietly dropped it as a neutered weaker re-done version. Lost Tapes 2 was hella disappointing.

Had no idea that’s no white Jesus

That royalty shyt is trash

A 96 Nas & Meth joint would be a great add to IWW.

If it exists it'll leak one day. Maybe a deluxe 30th year edition.

it was supposed to be "nikkanometry" over "Devil's pie". One day I'm going to make a "nikkanometry" acapella an timestretch it over "devil's pie" to get an idea of what it would have been.

i thought this was debunked on the first page....method man didn't show up and the instrumental/sampled loop got used for something else, as mentioned by plenty

Subs.

I think Nas mentioned when they recorded Verbal Intercourse, they recorded another joint too.

What other illmatic-IWW era rare joints are floating around

Ok cool. But Yeah, I’m glad Dangelo got that. I used to be a canibus Stan when I was younger tho
