wont even lie. I’m a hip hop head and I didn’t hear this original until recently. I didn’t even know wtf I was listening to cuz I was in such amazement to hear these verses. I thought I was dreaming or somehow the GODS was playing with my emotions. And then to hear Ghostface.. I wanted to pull over and take a moment to myself cuz of that shyt.

If you’ve never heard it, check out the bonus disc from the 2014 “The Infamous Mobb Deep”, it’s all unrealeased earlier Mobb Deep, this track was on there.

That was the whole reason he flipped it that way. A&R knew there was no way they were clearing a straight Al Green loop so Havoc had to chop it up.

Sound like what he did was low pass the bassline on the original loop and then played one key at different pitches on top of it.
Yep! he basically shows how he did it here and that's it.

Time-coded to start at 0:47. He plays the OG beat and then at 1:19 shows how he changed it for the album version.

When you take his work since 94' to 2019...there's no doubt shallah raekwon is the best guest feature artist of all time.
