Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I still to this day have a hard time reconciling the Nore spitting on this album and the dude that was literally on everything else

Something about him was different. I knew he was next up, but I didn’t expect him to lose his hunger like that but he probably had people telling him if he wanted to blow he couldnt be that person anymore

You can tell, besides weed maybe, that he was sober right here.. Sounds smarter, clearer and not on that funny, silly type shyt

Younger, Hungrier and bit wiser he wa still dabbling in the Lessons at this age..
when he got successful/richer which lead to more drunk and drugs fuelled nights etc..he lost plenty of braincells.

What are the different versions of Thug Paradise? There's the one on the album, but there's the "original version" that I think was circulating before the album dropped.

Is the original version the one that has 2 Capone verses rather than that last verse from Nore? (below)

Album is insane. I remember I bought it over here in Paris when it came out, was import so extra expensive and I didn't even know them, all I knew was that they were from QB and I saw the Mobb Deep connection, skimmed through a couple tracks and knew I had to buy it :wow:

There are (at least) 4 different versions of LA LA:
1. album version (Kuwait mix)
2. Original Version (Dogg Pound NY NY beat, no Prodigy verse)

3. Original Version w/ Prodigy Verse (It's the Prodigy verse that was later used on Live nikka Rap from IWW, and it's the Dogg Pound NY NY beat). It has Tragedy talking shyt in the beginning, making fun of the LA slang "You seen Trey-Dogg foo?!"

4. Iraq Mix (it's the same sample as DPG NY NY but it's a tad different, not the exact same.




Is this the OG Thug Paradise?




There's Alluminati with Trag & Iman Thug, then there's Noremati which is the Nore solo version. Not sure if you're counting both of those.

Why do you have Never Die Alone listed? Is there a version that's different than what's on the album?

I'm not familiar with New Breed, drop a link plz


When you list Iron Sheiks, what are you referring to? As far as I know, they only had a few songs (True Confessions, Alluminati, The Bridge 2000 and a couple freestyles. Is there a track called "Iron Sheiks"?


Freestyle over Who Shot Ya? & Bytches Ain't shyt w/ Cam'ron and Mase


The Bridge 2000 (dropped in 1998)


Tony Touch Freestyle over Mobb Deep's Nighttime Vultures


TONY Desert Strom/Clue Remix


Does Mobb Deep/Tragedy - First Day of Spring Count? (I think that's a HoE leftover, or Pre-Hell song)

There's Capone & Tragedy feature "The Turnaround"



Nore & Nas Hot 97 Freestyle


There's also the mythical "Criminal Warfare '99" that's CNN + Tragedy Khadafi + Mic Geronimo. The lyrics are online, but I've been searching for this song for 20 years and never once heard it
