J-Love exclusives pre-Wu Tang Forever

[brainghost]

Based on the versions I have, the best is from Uncut and Raw Vol 3

Thank you!!

If someone has any songs to share thats unreleased or rare olease dm me. I lost alot in a disk crash in 2006 and havent found alot of things online since then. The most exclusive i have is the wuki pack.

I'll make a compilation with what I can gather, it'll take a little while though so let me know if there's any specific track you're after

Idk if i missed it but method man - ice cream man. Pretty sure jlove sourced that from wutangworld which i sent in

Appreciate the info, I just mentioned the whole compilation "Demo Cuts" which it's on, since those tracks are untagged. Some may be available in higher quality or longer though so that info is very appreciated! Like "Take It Back To Brooklyn", I just found a longer version with GZA while the one on Demo Cuts cuts off after ODB's verse

Anyone have the Tical alternate/remix?

I’ll dig around for some stuff too

260 “alternate” version (no “skit” at the end leading into Assassination Day):

Cool never heard that, thanks! Do you know where it came from? I got you in a second with the Tical alt mix

Something hard to find for Wu Wednesday!

Back in 2017, a strange compilation EP from Ol Dirty Bastard, titled "Drop It Over Here" was released on streaming platform (it's still online!). Clearly not an official release, the EP has songs from Ol Dirty's first album, plus a Deadly Venoms track with an ODB feature. All of these were previously released and easily accessible (well except the Deadly Venoms track, but that's not what this post is about).

For a few days only, the first track of this EP was not Hippa to da Hoppa (as it is now), but the title-giving track Drop It Over Here. If you're old (like me) and into Wu-Tang (like me), the phrase may sound familiar from Method Man's Tical title track. And indeed it's Method Man's track, but an unreleased alternative mix: missing the intro, sounding a lot crisper, the sample during the verses is much more audible, the drums sound a lot better and the outro is not cut. Hope some of you enjoy this!

I'm pretty sure "Box in Hand" did not run in to the next track's intro bc it was the end of side A on the Ironman cassette. I never knew about 260 though

I been looking for that 260 version for years with the extra sample in it.



was on some rae and ghost comp , the same one with the og wisdom body with raes verse


also i never found the good take it back to brooklyn if you have one that dont skip this is going to be a mighty venture. I been putting together rare shit again after years. Ill see what i have laying around.

also remember since we looking pre forever, mathamatics release of that rae and deck song, i forget what its called but it sounded like it woulda been great on forever.

[Cilvaringz]

[ForensikZ]

I just checked and I actually have 260 (but it's shit quality...looks like it was on mixtape from DatPiff). I can upload it if needed. I thought I had the wisdom body of version but I'm not finding it ATM.

I also have several take it back to Brooklyn files... I'll listen to them and see if any are decent (I have a proper rip of the Wu Forever promo tape hosted my Mr Cee so that version is probably decent)

This was on a hiphopsite.com exclusive CDR of the Tical instrumental LP ( probably on the vinyl too, but I don't have that to verify)

Any other 94,95,96 cuts in particular?

I can think of the GZA labels “demo version” and Can it be “fresh” mix but both of those are pretty known.

Anything else with new verses like the Iron Maiden demo with a different ghost verse?

I need that heaven & hell Demo is asking best quality as possible…one of my all time fav songs

That's Iron Maiden with an extra verse right. Can't believe they put out a 25th anniversary edition without including either that or the original Box In Hand. Instead you get that weak ass remix.

Link to method man tical alt mix. Diffrent intro some sound effects missing

https://onlyfiles.io/f/464d5f0165e34224ae1cada4223ae43a

Its misslabeled as a ol dirty bastard song though. Stumbled on to some releases I havent seen anywhere. Might post a link to one later on.

[brainghost]

I need some help y'all, can someone tell the difference between the "Can It Be All So Simple" + "Heaven & Hell" demos from the album versions?

A little update, successfully 100% untagged 5 more demos! Will post 'em all here eventually but I'll finish some more first

[hiphopjunky]

I'll give these a listen later and see if I can tell what's different
