If you follow the timeline of Jay by 1994-1995 he stopped the fast flow and was very deliberate with his flow (tho still had hints of the fast shyt at times) and was very clever. Dead Presidents 1 dropped a year after the original In My Lifetime which was recorded in 1994 but dropped in 1995. And Jay was using his RD flow with clever wordplay.

And songs like Broken English and Understand Me which were recorded in 1994, Jay is using heavy drug talk and not rapping fast at all.



:ohhh: Never heard this

Yeah they're rare gems, J-Love dropped them maybe about 10 years ago. These were all pre-Reasonable Doubt recordings.
I just checked my itunes and i have understand me on a pre reasonable doubt tape, so i guess i heard it but its been years, but the joint u linked i've probably never heard.
