Things in hip hop that are so forgotten they feel retconned

[boskey]

Diddy single handedly making mohawks an acceptable hairstyle

Cam original version What Means The World where the hook was just "Give Me Some Head bytch!"


Carter 1 being a huge fukking album before Wayne officially blew up

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Ludacris “battle of the sexes” album originally suppose to be a joint album with him and Shawnna

Twista on Roc A Fella

Joe Budden on Roc A Fella

Master P making No Limit wrestlers on WCW

Beyonce dropping a mixtape remix to 50 In Da Club (Think that’s the 1st time an R&B singer had done dat then Mary J did hate it or love it years later)

Kay Slay mad at Nas because he didn’t show up to his video shoot after he took his side in the Jay Z beef

Rick Ross saying he had the most disrespectful diss to 50 Cent called Schindlers List and then he never dropped it

Lil Scrappy on G Unit

Yung berg claiming he dissed bow wow because 50 cent told him to

Timbaland saying Nas did a record called Sinatra in the Sands with Jay Z and Justin Timberlake during the Magna Carter sessions with JT singing the hook like Frank Sinatra

Pharrell saying the Ray J “Wait a Minute” beat was for Eminem. Said eminem did 1 verse then never came back to the studio to work with him

Kanye saying he has 30 unreleased tracks with Kendrick produced by Madlib

Lot of the Madlib beats for Ye ended up on Pinata so we're better off

I hope that Mos/Mannie album was actually recorded. Then we have some hope it might one day get released in some form.

It's basically done but its

 

[mbewane]

Jay-Z, DMX, and Ja Rule were poised to be a supergroup called Murder Inc. There was a big article in XXL about it. They were supposed to drop a really huge album on Def Jam, but for some reason (at least that I never knew) it fell apart.

Lol I remember that. I was hyped about it.

- Roc Marciano being a part of Flipmode

Never admitted this but when Roc started his current run for quite some time I was wondering if he really was the same Roc Marciano as in Flipmode

This is an amazing thread

Snoop Dogg had an album before Doggystyle called "Over the Counter" that created in 1991 when Death Row was still Future Shock. Only a few copies were ever sent to record stores, but this part of his history is completely ignored.

Anyone heard this? Were the tracks reused or leaked afterwards?

Yeah some of it is on Youtube. Listening, it definitely sounds like some shyt that wasn't intended to have a wide spread released. Probably more a demo that got pressed and some got out.

 

[L. Deezy]

This.

I always have to bring it up in convos. Don’t get me wrong. No disrespect to the dead. Donuts and all that was dope. But he used to basically be blamed for ruining Tribe Calked Quest.

he wasnt better than Qtip.. not even close.

I stop listening to Tribe basically after the switch to Dilla

R.kelly and Birdman where doing a best of both worlds album and already released a single before Kellz ghosted him

The og version of You Make Me Wanna by Jadakiss had Beyonce but he couldnt get clearance.

The Amili freestyles that leaked were actually supposed to be interludes on Carter 3

The Snoop/Down 4 My nikkas situation...that's a true retcon because most people believe that was a Cmurder song when it was actually on Snoop's album originally..Snoop even had to argue with DJ EFN that it was his record, because EFN kept saying there's a version without Snoop and the one with Snoop is a remix but the reality is....the djs where always playing the song and cutting Snoop's verse

Keri Hilson was originally on the hook for Lets Get Away by TI when that album dropped....but now its been replaced...i love that song but the new hook is nails on a chalkboard to me and i cant find the og streaming

Ja Rule changed his named to Loki at some point

Brandy was going to release a rap album produced by Timbaland

there was a female 24 HOURS TO LIVE featuring Kim, Foxy, Queen Pen, and Missy that got scrapped

 

[CrimsonTider]

Rick Ross promoting an album by faking an engagement to an IG thot

the song “bedrock” that officially launched YMCMB originally had Omarion on it and he was signed to Young Money

Wow definitely thought that was C Murder's record.

Ja Rule spoke on it. He said that either Jay or X’s (he wouldn’t specify) Ego kept it from happening

 

[Ziggiy]

Raekwon’s Blood On Chef’s Apron album produced entirely by RZA.


GZA’s Dark Matter album that was supposed to be a concept album about the formation of the universe. Even had a fukking album cover but no damn release.


Ghostface’s double album with no cursing

Ghostface and Raekwon’s RAGU album


Method Man’s Crystal Meth album

Black Thought dropping a solo album called Masterpiece Theatre

Jay-Z, Nas, Ludacris, and a bunch of other Def Jam artists were supposed to go on tour in 06. Jay-Z spoke on it TWICE in interviews with Hot 97. Then Angie asked Nas about it and he confirmed it. That goddamn tour NEVER happened and i’m still salty because I was hyped for it

here's a joint from it:


Fresh has talked about that album alot and has repeatdly said he's having a hard time getting Mos to finish it
