It happens from time to time. They put out an alternate version/remix of an album cut as a new single. Sometimes, they put it out as a re-issue, other times they just throw it on another project. There's 50's "P.I.M.P." remix with Snoop, Busta Rhymes had "Fire It Up" and "Pass the Courversier", Diddy "All About The Benjamins", Mobb Deep on 50's "Outta Control", the Method-Mary J. "All I Need" collabo. There's also a slight difference in the instrumental for Nas' "Hate Me Now" between the first print and the second.

good post.. what was the difference between the two Hate Me Nows?

thats the original.. called "Crossroads". the famous one is DJ Uneek's Mo Thug remix, but mostly known as "Tha Crossroads". There's also a third version which sounds like the remix, except it has flesh and alternate verses


uneek did all the remixes.

The beats are slightly different particularly the intro. It sticks out like a sore thumb to me because I bought an early print with the above beat. All of the later prints and the "Greatest Hits" version have a different sound. The official video on YouTube apparently uses the re-issue instrumental. Perhaps, it got pulled because of sample problems with the intro. I don't know. I only noticed it because a friend decided to buy "I Am" several months after listening to my copy over and over and when we played the track, it was clearly (at least to me) different.

I definitely hear it. Can you up the full original, the intro definitely sounds more lush in that
