The final track we have for you today is the untagged version of "First They Love You" from "N*gger Noize." This was one of the most talked about tracks off the Bishop Lamont street album, so we know you've been dying to hear it without the tags.

Uff, I almost missed the untagged version of First They Love You, which is probably the best song on the mixtape.

BTW here's a little update on the untagged versions of N Noize and Caltroit:

AllHipHop.com: Let’s talk about the Caltroit mixtape you did with Bishop Lamont. That must have increased your fanbase substantially.


Black Milk: Yeah, I was reading a couple message boards on sites where the song was up, and people was like “Who’s the Black Milk cat?” They knew Bishop, but I was new to them and they was saying I was dope on the verses or whatever. I didn’t see nothing negative, so it’s opened me up to a whole new fan base and given me more exposure. Bishop’s on Aftermath, so that in itself is going to have certain people checking for you that wouldn’t usually. Caltroit is still getting a lot of buzz, we did the internet download thing. The CD should be dropping in December with none of the talking over it, and the mix and mastering is going to be nothing like the grimy version that was on the internet. The quality version sounds way better than the one from the net. That was the plan from the beginning, leak it out and give people a little taste of what it is. We got Cali artist, Detroit artists, even some East Coast artists on there, it’s just a real good project.
