“the B1 track with Grimm, Finesse and Foxxx”

That song’s called “Takin’ Niggas”. It was on the B-1 demo that RapPages reviewed once. If anyone has a copy, please let me know.

“does this have the alternate verse version of take em to war”

Nah, “WWIII” is just Grimm.

Thank you for writing this exceptional review. Build or Destroy, Grandmaster Grimm, MF, however you want to call him; he’s one of the most instrumental and influential MCs on the planet. I hope one day he’ll write an autobiography, ’cause half the story has never been told and Grimm has been responsible for a lot of your favorite MCs’, producers’ and DJs’ careers.
Love is Love,
Miranda Jane

They made the bass and drums too prominent in front of the piano sample on the version of “emotions” on the album and took the piano out of the beginning 10 or 20 seconds of each verse.

“messed with the beat on “emotions” and it doesn’t sound right”

Yeah I thought something was different on that one.

“maybe i should through it up on the ol’ blog one day”

Good idea, since they didn’t include it on the album.

This and Cormega are my favorite albums of the year so far. Sure they’re the only two albums i’ve bought and both old material but that’s not the point, is it?

Man, i’d been waiting on this one for a few years and, as you say, it was dope to get some tracks we’ve never heard before but whatshisname from Day By Day said it was gonna feature the B1 track with Grimm, Finesse and Foxxx and it wasn’t on there. Bastards. Plus they changed the beat on “dedicated” and messed with the beat on “emotions” and it doesn’t sound right.

Anyway, minor gripes, agreed on “ww3″/”take ‘em to war”. Stunning. Definately his best track and one of the grimiest tracks you’ll ever hear. Nice for me to finally have a good quality “aids”/”stay strapped” too. And i’m lovin’ “king of new york”. Love the two samples in the chorus.

Essential.
