Something from Take Me To Your Leader’s cutting room floor.

Prince Paul writes: This is a project that I was asked to do I guess sometime in the early 2000′s . It was a remix for a Bob James project . the idea was to take an existing piece of work and flip it . So this was my flip . I had Pete Miser [cont.]

Always thought Truth Hurts was fine as fuck. Anyway, here’s two joints that were meant for her 2002 LP, Truthfully Speaking, both produced by Dr. Dre.

Update: Decided to reup this one after a few requests. Been digging in the cassette vaults lately to see what we could come up with for you guys…. Found this original demo of Method Man’s “Meth Vs. Chef”, without Raekwon. Instead, it’s Meth over a slightly altered version of the track, rhyming different lyrics. We [cont.]

This one was recorded during the Ambition sessions, but didn’t make the final tracklist.

Dot Da Genius released this new-old track from ’08 to help ramp up hype for the duo’s upcoming WZRD album. Kid Cudi – Dose of Dopeness (Produced by Dot Da Genius) by HeadBangaMuzik

Bling47 tells us: I got this one on a cassette from T3 circa 1997. I’m not sure what it was for, or why Dilla had this on tape, but I thought it was hilarious. “Shut the Fuck Up and listen to this… this.” This kind of style was typical for our crew at this time [cont.]

Another track from Stalley’s archival, weekly release set, Songs By Me, Stalley.

Newly discovered vaulted track from the Bobby Digital recording sessions.

Admittedly, this track was better once Warren G got a hold of it, but this Prince Paul version shows us what might have been.

Prince Paul writes: This is the First song we recorded as the Gravediggaz in 92″ . It was the intro to our demo and it was actually recorded the day I introduced these guys to each other at my house . This track never made the album but It was one of my favorite productions. [cont.]

It’s called “Hey Mister”. This track was originally recorded in 1995, and curiously left off of the 4,5,6 LP. Gee, why would the label want to leave this track off the LP? Well, because it’s about beating the shit out of your woman in public, and then raping her. It was played on the Stretch [cont.]

Z-Trip writes: I was always a big Nirvana fan. When I first started playing “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in my sets the audience went crazy. I did get a lot of shit from other DJs at the time….now everyone plays it. Ha! When I was asked to remix Nirvana’s “Lounge Act,” I couldn’t have been [cont.]

A newly discovered Nas “lost tape”, which may or may not be on The Lost Tapes 2, which may or may not come out, ever. LISTEN: Nas – “Your Mouth Go You Into It”

Duck Down just released this lost gem from Pac’s One Nation recording sessions.

Dug this gem up from the HHS cassette archive. Not sure what the origins of this track are, but we don’t remember it being released elsewhere. Anyone with info on this? LISTEN: Lord Digga – “In Da Park (Lost Demo)” Lord Digga – “In Da Park (Lost Demo)”

The story on this is as follows. A&R Gino Sims writes: Well as you know I worked with a wide range of talent. One cool dude I got to kick it with was my man Nas. Nas is a talented, funny, cool individual. Actually his brother Jungle, to me is one of the funniest dudes [cont.]

We’ve been digging in the HHS cassette vault for treats….. We think this one has been out of circulation for a while. It finds Young Hova (and we mean young) up at Hot 97 on Fatman Scoop’s show, freestyling over the beat from “Can’t Knock The Hustle”, with a few lines from “Cashmere Thoughts” sprinkled [cont.]

Unbeknown to most, there are two different versions of The Pharcyde’s “I’m That Type of N***a”. There are subtle differences between the two, in both production and lyrical delivery and it’s clear that these were recorded in separate sessions. I remember speaking to Xtra Loop Genius about this back in the HHS retail days, as [cont.]

While we’ve seen just about every 2Pac verse recycled into a Bruce Hornsby sampled remix, here’s a pair of newly uncovered dis tracks from the slain rapper. Pac goes hard at Biggie, Nas, Wendy Williams, De La Soul (!), Dr. Dre on “Watch Ya Mouth”, and shots are fired with DPG at Biggie, Mobb Deep, [cont.]
