Honestly, I heard this one before the album version. It was on a mixtape called "The Death of Escobar" if I remember correctly. That mixtape also had other demo version from The Lost Tapes including the demo version of "Gotta Love it".
@@charlesdominguez4245 I thought that was closer to like 1998, probbaly same stuff as Nas 2000... Fetus was there, the original project windows, poppa was a player, Stay Alive, etc. Those were the days. I remember bumping Nas 2000 and Cormegas mixtape Montana Way heavy that summer
@@re-mix1040 Well the same way you would bite anything; change the original to make it sound as if you thought of it yourself, then again hip hop was born on a bite so 🤷♂️
How is nas not the goat fit New York. He came out 30 Years ago with the best hip hop album ever and still is !! And still making gems and nobody else is !! And off these words alone , it’s no comparison idgaf who bring up !
WHOA__ take it in blood was my favorite song as a kid. I'm 38 now and hearing this for the first time. Just imagine ___. Oh yeah, and do nothing but go to the gym now. Talk about ABOUT TO GET MY MONEY ___ n.a.s are the letters that spell......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe this “cleaned up” version of the song in this video is mine. I looped the choruses as best as I could, to clean up the available version from a Whoo Kid mixtape
I see why Columbia made change it, the lyrics are here are crazy but they would be hard for the average listener to keep with. Also the album version is a bit more focused subject wise.
well the track Take It In Blood was actually not finished mixing because Stretch passed away so out of respect, Nas left it unfinished mixing and it wouldnt make sense for this version to come out.
People don’t realize some
Of these verses on lots of these unreleased songs are some of greatest flows and verses ever ..unreal talent nas is.
Fucking legend!! Like Mike Tyson in his prime
Take in blood is lup fiasco favorite rapper song of all time. He said the first verse is the best lyrics he ever heard. That's says alot .
Thank you for that
The original ?
Nobody could of touched Nas lyrically in 96 . He was ahead of its time. It was written
Yo is this Antonio Powell?
Yo is this Antonio Powell?
I like it was written better than illmatic

I missed this and I'm a huge Nas fan.
Me too smh. To dope

Nasir is my favorite hip hop artist ever. I fell in love with his rhymes back in 96' and it never stopped.
I feel like this was the original version but Nas thought it was too complex so he made it less aggressive and toned the lyrics down.
I think so too.
You basically bit another comment that you commented on 😂😂
@@jsss3604 How do you bite a comment?
Anyways, I actually feel that way about this joint.
@@re-mix1040 Well the same way you would bite anything; change the original to make it sound as if you thought of it yourself, then again hip hop was born on a bite so 🤷♂️
Can't nobody tell Nas ain't the greatest of all time. No one can see Nas with the ink.
Nas the Greatest!
Word up
Vintage Nas can’t be seen.
The original is more streamlined. He was in his bag here too though. It's giving Clue mixtape freestyle vibes .
RIP STRETCH ON THE TRACK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the beats of all time
🎤👍🏾💯
Love this version!
this is fucking crazy
After hearing this, I'm convinced that the first version from the album was a freestyle.
Why?
@@antlew8077 cuz this one is wayyy better
@@re-mix1040 this is the original, Columbia had him edit it to make it conceptional
True
@@re-mix1040 trippin. “Currency is made in the trust of the messiah” is a hard ass bar. The original is amazing

Same here and I'm going thru all my old mix tapes to see if i overlooked this track but i can't even find this.
@@fr3edomcrysame here man. I never heard this version of the song. And Take It In Blood is my favorite Nas track.
Nas. Listening to this is like watching iron Mike in his prime. Savage flows!! LFG.
How he just drops into the beat at the beginning and run wit it...INCREDIBLE.
Taking it "to the lab" now.
