Does sound like a new re-recorded verse cause I dont think anyone knew bout Akademiks in 2012

i probably replayed that bath salts verse like 50 times by now

whenever Swizz adlibs over the Nas verse, that's when you know where Nas punched in ("talk to em Nas" and "hands in the air")

punch in @ "hate starts with H because H comes after a G" sounds like the beginning of the OG 2nd verse...and this sound like some "Lil Wayne real G's move in silence like lasagna" inspired line

"adam and eve" theme...nas been saying this since NASIR and maxwell - help somebody (remix) in 2009...lol @ "nas talking about sex in an organic way" thread again

the "no ring, ring" line could have been a triple with Nas' investment on Ring, but this verse is old

another punch in @ "worked at popeyes, spinach" line - double...the chicken chain and the cartoon

"we are not the same I am an alien" -- wayne inspired line

"shutting down the stadiums" - double...shutting it down as in, "doing it the best", and UFOs cause power outages (the same outage that happened in 1977 that allowed people to loot for hip hop equipment How the Blackout of 1977 Helped Hip Hop Blow Up)

found this nas tracker someone made... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wQfzonTcwmzih08kKsymsHG2XiZmvFCBGgdyd7P14bM/ it's alright, not as complete as https://www.reddit.com/r/nas/wiki/ but there were some that were made-up blends

Da Disciple 2001 (Alternate Verse) ,...idk what this is...looks like Da Bridge 2001 (alternative) misnamed

soooo many fake blends on this tracker, smh www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwYgUK0TNdc

The original song has 3 Nas verses. Gotta be on the lookout to see if that leaks or if Jadas version leaks

Yeah I've been waiting for that joint ever since all the insane the LIG listening session reports about it!

Didn't have the time to listen to the album this morning before going to work, just played a few seconds of the bath salt song, and seemed like the beat was different from the original. And I kind of anticipated swizz would take out the Escobar season part, but didn't expect the chorus to go.. Kind of kills the whole vibe imo.

Can't wait to give it a full listen later today, and been reading some good shyt about the other Nas track too

He said Hate start with H because H come after a G
He used some of his original verse. The Kurtis Blow angel part and changed the rest of it

Song reminds me of On The Real with how many alternate versions are out there :russ:.
eventually the bath salts song will be a 7+ minute mix...3 Nas verses, OG intro, OG swizz chorus, updated Nas verse, DMX verse, Jadakiss verse, Jay-Z verse, whenever Busta Rhymes decides to remix this

Nas - On The Real (Mega-mix) ft Havoc, Screwball, Cormega, Action Bronson, Papoose, AZ (Marley Marl)



Calm Down (Full Version) - Nas, Tragedy Khadafi, Noreaga, E Moneybags & Jadakiss (prod. EZ Elpee)

Nas blacked on this DMX album. That’s all that matters. Swizz butchered the song but fukk it. Nas blacked. Lol. Nas BLACKED on Walking In The Rain.

I caught the "pray/prey-predator" line but it was a real song that didn't need too many entendres

that Denzel CGI line tho...wow
