This is a segment that aired on Super Channel back in '89 on De La Soul that features cameos by Prince Paul, Stetsasonic, Big Daddy Kane, DMC, KRS One, and the Kooooooooool DJ Red Alert. I love the interweb for this very reason because I had never seen this before today.

Records: De La Soul - Clear Lake Audiotorium EP & Buhloon Mind State 12"s
This was a promotional only 12" that is more like an EP. Four of the songs are from the Buloone Mind State album, but "Sh.Fe.Mc's" and "Stix & Stonez" were brand new tracks available only on this record. Plus it was on clear vinyl so it was extra fresh. I also included the "Breakadawn" 12" and the "Ego Trippin' (Part II)" 12" that had the unreleased Biz track. That's all the 12"s from Buhloon Mind State. You gotta love how De La went out of their way to give something extra on each single with the remixes and unreleased songs.

Classic Material: De La Soul 3 Feet High & Rising EPK
Looking back at these EPK's it's pretty interesting to see how the artists (but probably more the record labels) wanted to present themselves to the world for the first time. The Nas EPK got me hooked on these thing and here is another one. It's De La in their Daisy Age days. We all know they ended up hating this image, and they said from the jump (and it's all over this EPK) that they weren't hippies but they still got labeled that way anyways. That's what being original will get you. Interviews, freestyles, videos, live footage, and cameos by DMC, Red Alert, KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Daddy-O, and of course Prince Paul make this EPK super dope.

Rap Treats #36: ATCQ "Scenario" (Original)
Holy shit. This is a bonafied gem. An original version of Tribe's "Scenario" that features Leaders Of The New School, De La Soul and Blacksheep. Shouts to Unkut and the dude from 2020Proof for unearthing this. As the story goes, there are actually a few takes of the classic posse cut and this is one of them. There is apparently another version that features L.O.N.S., De La Soul, Blacksheep, Jungle Brother, and 'Baby' Chris Lighty. If it really exists then I'm sure it will surface one day. Check Unkut for the story. As a bonus I threw in all the "Scenario" remixes including the super classic Kid Hood mix.

The remix with Kid Hood goes down as one of the illest remixes ever, and Hood's verse goes down as one of the illest verses ever. This is his only appearence on wax that I'm aware of as he was killed two days after he recorded this. If anybody has the demo he recorded that led to him hooking up with Q-Tip and getting on the remix then PLEASE hook me up. The column below is from The Source and it breaks down who Kid Hood was and what happened. R.I.P. Hood.

Rap Treats #31: Original, Rare and Unreleased
BIGGIE feat. Sadat X
This eventually found the light of day on B.I.G.'s Born Again album, but that version doesn't come close to this one. This is that Ready To Die BIGGIE.
LL Cool J
Obviously not the real title, but this song is unknown. It also sound pretty shitty. My guess is that it was a record he was working on and then scrapped.
De La Soul
This one is basically a De La version of Chi Ali's "Roadrunner".
The Roots
Produced by J Dilla.
Mobb Deep
This one came courtesy of Stretch Armstrong. The Beatnuts remix to the original "Shook Ones" that never saw an official release.
