So, here are two gems. “Watch Yo Mouth”, a scathing diss track in which Pac checks Nas, Dr. Dre, Wendy Williams, De La Soul, Puff and Biggie has been floating around for a while, but in less than stellar quality. Here’s the full track in what appears to be CDQ (I converted them to mp3 from the wav files I found them in).

Also, we have the elusive “NY ’87 (Now That’s Dissin)”, a track I remember reading about in some dark coner of the internet many years ago in the days before blogs. As I understand it, this was originally a Dogg Pound track featuring ‘Pac, DJ Quik and Deadly Threat, but it was never released for whatever reason. Targets on this include: Mobb Deep, Biggie, Nas, and really the entire city of New York.

In honor of the 15th Anniversary of the release of Reasonable Doubt, Philly Radio OG Colby Colb has liberated this extremely rare, mostly unheard Jay-Z interview and freestyle from 1995.
Colb explains:
What can I say, this is a historic moment in Hip Hop. At the time I knew of Jay-z from Original Flavor and he had a cameo on this Big Daddy Kane song that was out that summer.
This was before Rocafella, this was best friends Jay and Dame driving down to Philly in twin Lexus GS Coupes with records in the trunk. This was one of Jay-z first interviews outside of New York. You could see the potential in him, he was nervous yet confident. During this interview he talks about life before Reasonable Doubt which didn’t come out until 10 months later. Check out the freestyle over some Wu beats.
Yeah, it’s pretty surreal to hear Jay sounding all young and enthusiastic, talking about his minor accomplishments up to that point and plans for the future. He’s all amped up about the video they had just shot for the “In My Lifetime (Remix)” and the yet to be titled album that would become Reasonable Doubt. Then he spits over “Criminology” and the “Method Man” beat and fumbles a couple of lines. Classic shit.

Looks like they just grabbed whoever was standing around Atlanta to shoot a verse. The actual remix was much more brolic itself.
