Stat quo being next
Things in hip hop that are so forgotten they feel retconned
- Thread starter Sinister
- Start date
"Ghetto Techno" being a leaked track. The narrative now is that this is a song that was on BP3. Truthfully, Timbaland played this song around the time BP3 was released teasing it as a song for Shock Value 2 (Timbaland's own album that dropped a few months after BP3). "Ghetto Techno" never made that album either and it remains a leaked song that isn't even HQ.
Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown being on the same song together. They were on Total's "No One Else" remix as was Da Brat. That song is forgotten and the narrative is that Foxy and Kim never got along and Foxy never played nice with other female rappers.
The original Blueprint 3. It is forgotten that a Timbaland produced "Ain't I" leaked in early 2008 with Clue yelling BP3 all over it. Shortly thereafter, a HQ version of the song leaked and Timbaland offered to produce the whole album. Jay's response was that "whoever gives him 10 dope songs does the album". Months later, "Swagger Like Us" leaks as T.I. song featuring Jay Z, Wayne, and Kanye. Well, that song was originally a BP3 song. We got "History", "BK We Go Hard" featuring Santigold, and "Jockin Jay Z", but all those songs flopped and Jay redid the album.
"Crack A Bottle" being a Detox single before becoming an Eminem comeback record.
T.I. dissing Ludacris on Rap City's The Basement
Cee Lo Green being the most featured member of Dungeon Family. Before Andre 3000 was a popular guest rapper or even before Big Boi was popping up seemingly everywhere. Cee Lo was featured on songs with Common, Black Rob, Puff Daddy, and Lil Kim. Most of these were rap features.
Big Boi being the more prominent member of Kast. He was on singles (Missy's "All N My Grill", Trick Daddy's "Dro In The Wind" and Youngloodz "85") and album cuts with artists ranging from Jay Z ("Poppin Tags") to Beyonce ("Hip Hop Star")

Jay Z on the Oh Boy Remix. Cam said it was so bad he destroyed the tape being the only one to ever hear it.

Crack A Bottle was originally a Detox single?
Yes. It got leaked and it was initially billed as Dr. Dre featuring Eminem and 50. The entire roll out for those albums was Detox, Relapse, Before I Self Destruct. It didn't pan out that way and they even had another Dr. Dre and Eminem song ready that they tied into commercials for the big Mayweather fight that year. Only a snippet of that song exists.

As far as I know, I’ve seen separate interviews from both saying it’s done. No idea why it never dropped. There’s a Mystikal album produced by Mannie that never came out either
Nas's original God's Son is something that gets lost in the shuffle. The version that was released was a more "peaceful" album than the one he was going to release. Nas was about to Makaveli the game, but decided near the last minute to change the direction of the album. He was letting everybody have it. Some of the titles were:
F Hot (getting at Hot 97)
Grimey Ways
Crabs In A Barrel
My Will (part of this leaked as "Honeymoon Over")
There was an alternate version of "Hey Nas" produced by The Tracmasters featuring XO. "Ridin' Broke" was the Braveheart joint instead of "Zone Out". The album was 12 songs as the tracklist was up on Amazon.
