Re: This previously unreleased track should have been on Illmatic

It defiantly would of fit right before Memory Lane on the tracklist.Thematic wise it would make sense,you can experience something and it gives you that feeling of Deja Vu,thats when you pause for a minute and try to place exactly why and think back & reminisce about stuff trying to go over other events that came before it cause your try to find & place the exact memory/experience thats giving you that feeling.

then -Memory Lane- comes on right after that.Would make perfect sense imo.




But the one thing you gotta take into account is if that made the album then Nas wouldn't have used it for his verse on Verbal Intercourse from OB4CL...Which is unquestionably -classic- and arguably top 10 if not top 5 guest verses ever on a Hip Hop album,and The Purple Tape is one of the best albums ever produced in its genre.

YOOO honestly think it would of been dope to have this as a hidden track that comes on after It Ain't To Tell,this shit is soooo fuckin raw.Its the original version also known as Nas Will Prevail.Too bad Lost Tapes volume 2 has yet to see the light of day (Its well over a decade,Volume 2 was suppose to drop in 2003) alot of shit could of been put out there that not alot of people have heard or even know about unless you go through some diggin'...iah Nas easily has enough unreleased shit that could drop 3 double discs Lost Tapes,no exaggeration.

Silent Murder should of been on ALL releases of It Was Written.
