Ok..so remember when i told you here… B.I.G Originals..that there were also a whole slew of unreleased versions of off Life After Death before they were P. Diddified? Well here is one…the raw sounding Original Your Nobody Till Somebody Kills You. It has the original sample, which makes it sound a lot eerier than the one that actually appeared on the album. This was Scavenged from an old D.A.T tape in the DJ ENUFF files. I’m still trying to get other joints from there but this will have to do for now.

Which one do you like better?
Personally I prefer the samples, this Diddy version is of course finished and cleaner… I Like the fact that the instruments are clearer and refined.
For purposes of clearances Diddy obviously had someone re-play a sample rather than clear them for performance. Why pay a mechanical fee as he see’s it!
Maybe a clean Mix of the sample version will prob change my mind. As always props to my man Enuff for blessing us regardless. Not everyone can have the privilege of working with such a great entertainer such as BIG and countless others too numerous to mention!
Kast What up Baby! Good Looks on the treat and…
Keep on Rockin’!

I’m feeling this original version but the track that actually made it on the album was a better fit with the whole BADBOY sound that made BADBOY, well… BADBOY. Same song but one sounds like a mixtape track and the other sounds like it came off a multiplatinum album.
