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

man you are really new school .  everybody from era knows about this . the remix came out in 1996 . while the original album version & the album came out in the summer of 95. they went & rereleased the album with the remix version on it & taking the original album version off a year later. i always asked why couldn't they have both on the album not just one . i thought that was stupid

esp since Tha Crossroads doesnt really fit on E1999... its their Art of War style. Either put it on that or Mo Thug vol. 1

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.

There is a version of the album with both versions on it.  I don't have it, but I know people that do.  Mine only has the og.

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

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
