Heres what Mephux said about it on the Griselda Sub when someone tagged him about his production on the album
“Thank you but I’m not happy with how this album was mixed & mastered. The stems are not mixed, no post production. SMH I Hope people don’t judge me one the quality of my production based on this because I had no involvement.”
On why Conway has beef w Trillmatic
“On this I have to speak up. Con is not the problem - working with people who are not reliable, never get shyt done on time and become annoying when they are ready to blow your phone up. Some people just need to remember life DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.
Con is a good person but he’s not going to let people waste his time. This happened with Lord Mobb with The Peoples Champ records.”
On someone saying “interesting to see Benny on a Mephux beat”
“No beef with us. Just wish it would have been engineered properly and I personally feel it’s one of my worst productions EVER. I didn’t want my name on this project but what can you do. It’s not awful but I have come very far since this… these are all VERY old.”

Appreciate you man!
1-13? So the rest of the tracks leaked too in OG form?

Agh. My bad. So I just added it to my version of GDMM as track 13. I have The Cow as track 14 since it was the original bonus joint to close the album out. And then I have a "disc 2" with a couple of the snippets in pretty bad quality from YouTube rips. I'm happy to send them but it's just the OG Drumwork and You're The One (the AraabMuzik joint)

Man
I added The Cow as a bonus joint to mine too. I usually tend to do that with Griselda projects if the joints that were supposed to be on there but didn’t make it, like some of the joints from that EP Conway put out on vinyl only etc.
Not sure why that you’re the one joint didn’t cut it, would have been the perfect radio joint to give the album a bit more mainstream appeal, not that it needs any I’m not particularly a fan of that track anyways just could have gave Conway more shine for the casual listener.
EDIT - ignore the above. I’m getting that song mixed up with something else that leaked a little bit ago that didn’t make it too, sounded like something from the bad boy era when they were at their peak. The names eluding me though
Man I got excited there thinking the whole album had leaked in its original form… all good though! Hopefully we see some of the tracks that didn’t make it some day.

I know the You The One joint got cut because they couldn't get the sample cleared. It was this exact beat but a little bit sped up by Araab.
It was the Can’t you be track I was thinking of, I’m not a fan of it tbh.
You the one is dope though I wish we got that, hopefully it leaks sometime.
Is there a definitive list of everything that got dropped for samples or was dropped for other reasons from FKTG & GDMM?
@TheDarceKnight Other than Laundromat Rap w Mach do you know if there’s any other loosies or throwaways that didn’t make the cut for GOAT?

100% breh.
So for GOAT, all of the following joints were slated for it at one point or another.
'94 Ghost shyt
Birdy
Fork in the Pot
Hell's Kitchen
Spurs
Rick Boxes
Ajax
Moroccan Waters
3 Bodies
Laundromat Rap
The Cow
94 Ghost shyt was actually slated to be the lead single at one point.

I figured I'd make a different reply for this one.
Can't You Be, You're The One, and Grandma's Baby (Bessie's Fave) were all cut due to sample clearance reasons. The title track, Guilty, and Drumwork all had to have elements replayed due to sample clearance issues.
Serena Vs Venus and Fear God were moved from GDMM to FKTG.
The Cow was going to be on GDMM at one point as the final track, but the samples couldn't be cleared. Proud of Me was slated to be on GDMM very early on, but was moved to Food 2.
Courtside at the Barclays was cut from GDMM because Conway thought it was too old by the time it came out.
City on the Map, May Store, and Bang were all taken off of an early edition of GDMM to put onto WWCD.
That's most of the GDMM leftover tracks.
Re: FKTG... Fifty Cent Razors and 5500 were both slated to be on FKTG at an early stage, as was Crack in the 90's (which made the Deluxe Edition).
EDIT: Also, at an early stage Babas was slated for FKTG but moved over to GDMM.
EDIT 2: Chanel Pearls and So Much More were recorded for La Maquina but taken off at the last second to be placed on GDMM, and Piano Love was recorded during the Lulu sessions but held off for GDMM.
EDIT 3: @LJLYDK! Stressed is also the very first joint that Daringer and Beat Butcha produced together, and Beat Butcha said it was made during the Blakk Tape era when they made Pavement and Rare Form.
Appreciate the info as always man, think I’m gonna have to throw these tracks in the sequencing and see where they fit
Appreciate this hugely man, Gonna try out together Conways project how they were originally meant to be after reading all that
