Really? I really like it, the drums knock, the snare is crisp and the waka waka waka Pacman sounds are amazing. Battlecat or Khalil, whoever did his thing. Does sound like Khalils drums though and the production is nothing like Battlecat to my ears so I think someones got it twisted. If we're talking greatest Detox leaks/beats its got to be Topless (which is for sure a Khalil beat, compare it to Compton Sirens and you'll see why I think he did that one too):This slightly mastered version with that extra bit of shine was so good and it illustrates perfectly what I said about Dre adding layers and layers of production as he works on it further as you can hear the progression from the first TI leak. Wish he'd rapped that reference verse as well as it was dope and extra arrogant but Nas owned this track with one of the best features he's ever dropped.

as u noticed, i edited the youTube rip, as i dont own the hq version.
Now that I think about it: Those snippets should've been shorter. I mean those beats are nice, but what are we supposed to do with them? Wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for them.
See I don’t think there really is a market for these. The struggle in getting people to buy the Kanye/Dre stuff is evident enough that as much as people want them they simply aren’t interested in paying thousands per track. I suppose it’s lucky he was the one that bought the storage unit that these were in though. Someone else might have just seen CD-R’s and chucked them out.I do wonder did he have prior knowledge of the unit belonging to the Aftermath president. He has those other unreleased Dre/Firm tracks as well. It’s possible they were all in the same purchase but there’s been a huge gap in him uploading those snippets compared to this folder of stuff.
Not directly related to this case specifically, seeing how the current owner didn't hog the material for decades, but.......this is pretty much what happens when most (hip-hop) tracks remain in the ''vault'' for too long. People who were young and hyped about these decades ago are now much older and have lost interest and moved on, whereas all the youngstas have zero interest in these whatsoever. Many other genres where the value appreciates, but not hip-hop. There are exceptions of course.
Can someone who's good with song editing take out Eminem's verse in this version?
