Word is bond, that other version make me angry. I had to rewind and rewind this shit over and over and over fam. Then I got the CD and you telling me they switched it up, I need an explanation Nore lol!!
Remember first time I studied new York hip hop. I'm from houston tx. I choose hip hop from ny then my own hometown. Yes I got screw. Swishahouse. Well tx. So DSR 3rd degree. Freestyle Kingz w/dj bull. Towdown. Boss hogg outlawz. Color changing click. Etc
I remember when this Came out I was in the same situation with a Baby in question..a Little baby girl..I played this song 100times and finally decided to be apart of my daughter's life...2019 Thank You Nore!!
As you know back then someone borrowed, lost, or stole your 💿. 😂 So of course I copped another one and I was confused that this song wasn’t on there. 😂😂😂😂. Bro I bought another thinking they fucked up. Nothing more upsetting til this day. Ha. ✌🏽
Song was my ace when I was youngster coming up in the 90s, and it was the perfect song to the end the album, all the griminess, gritty toughness and to end the album with this song was perfect, like there was hope to make it out of New York.
After hearing this version in stretch and Bobito and then the album dropping months later with the Sam Sneed version, that shit broke my heart. My only copy of this version was a recording I pulled off the radio on a TDK 60 minute tape... The Sam Sneed version doesn't hold a candle to this shit. This is Sugar Hill, If I Ruled The World level shit here... the scope of this is different, Sam Sneed version is not even close.. feels like everything else that was out back then with a female in the hook
This is the copy of the LP I bought in Canada in 97 Toronto big up to my coz Anthony and his Toronto crew Louis , Diego and the Fam great memories of blazing weed while we were teens we boomers to this new generation 😂 great memories…. Unfortunately one year I brought a meat rider with us from Jersey named Tony with me 😂
This was a great way to close out the War Report. This version is way better than what they replaced it with and his those nostalgia notes man. The only way to have this now is to have the hard copy of the CD, which I think is somewhere in my parents house.
Has this female N'eka done anything else? Anymore hooks or songs? I love her voice and this version of Closer is the definitive version. Clark Kent hit this out the park. This could a been Nore's If I Ruled The World or Sugar Hill or So Into You or All I Need but they went with the meh version that doesn't hold up well in the scope of timeless hip hop infused with R&B songs. This was it right here... The energy is just so much better.
Good to hear the original version, not that Sam Sneeds was bad but the original album version flowed better I think. Thanks for posting it. I've been a fan of CNN since War Report Dropped .
This was one of my favorite songs on this album hands down. But it sounds like she's saying (nothin I would dooo to get close to yooou yooou paypaaa . But in that cause ain't she supposed to be continue saying she wanna get close to it.
Between this and Soul Controller from Ghostface. Idk which one I was more disappointed got removed from they albums. I literally bought this cd at minimum 10 times in my life lol!
Riiiiiiight! At every tag sale, someone selling that shit for a dollar like a dope, never that, bought it right and gave it life in my cd player. Worth every penny!
And thanks for the Soul Controller mention, heard it a thousand times but now I feel like I'm on a mountain top in Tibet learning infinite wisdom from the gods. My morning is complete
YO BIG SHOUT OUT @Justsince82 FOR FINDING THIS FOR ME, BEEN LOOKIN FOR IT ON THE ALBUM FOR YEARS! (used to be on the OG cassette in '97 I know cuz this tape stayed in my whip all year!)
Where can i find this version? I had it in a 97 cd release but that has been misplaced! Ive looked for this on itunes and is not there they have a different version!
@@adrianquintero8333 thanks a bunch! I do recall Havoc mentioning this in an old interview, but didn't realize that was his bro's name. Thanks again and have a blessed day.
Best version. Period
Mhmmm
Without a doubt
This was on the cassette tape
What’s good all my 90’s heads??? 💯✅💪🏾👊🏾
the war report was the most stolen cassette from my car summer of 97. i bought it several times. a straight up classic.
I much prefer this version to the one that fades out early on the re-press. This is how I remember bumping Closer all summer 97. Thanks for uploading.
U a legend this original pressed copy.
Word is bond, that other version make me angry. I had to rewind and rewind this shit over and over and over fam. Then I got the CD and you telling me they switched it up, I need an explanation Nore lol!!

AZ fan?! 😁
The Sam sneed one is ass no wonder Suge beat his ass.
Thatz crazy faxtz 💯💪🔥
This the version I remember when buying the CD in 97

Both versions are great IMO, but I wish they were both on streaming instead of just one
Not ever with me. It was only Sam sneed version.
Been looking all over for this version, I thought they erased it off the planet! Takes me back to the 90’s, this is culture soundtrack music!
Best album I swear. I was 13 killing this tape
Add
Kool G Rap Ft. Nas - Fast life
To ya playlist if you haven't yet... The vibes are similar Yu heard.
I bought the CD the album is a classic so many memories
Old but Gold, Never Ages, Eternal Track ✊💪⭐💫🛡
Classic grew listen to this track
Song was my ace when I was youngster coming up in the 90s, and it was the perfect song to the end the album, all the griminess, gritty toughness and to end the album with this song was perfect, like there was hope to make it out of New York.
Then a boy like me touched your comment
💯💯💯
This is the version I remember growing up.
I like this version better than then the other one. The beat reminds me of biggies juicy or fat Joe's song envy. Has that chill vibe to it
This is actually the original version on the first copies of the war report
Check out mic geronimo the natural remix for the same type of vibe
G rap and Nas Fast Life has same sample
They both dope but the Sam Sneed version is the one that brings back memories. Back in the reggie days. 🤣

WHY DON'T DIS GOT MORE VIEWS?!
Because people didn’t own the original copy of “the war report”
Haven’t heard this in a while, was on my mind tonight, so I had to hear it. Way better than the other version.

No. U gotta own an original hard copy.
I’m glad me bootlegging this album as a mp3 when I wanted to discover all New York hip hop this came about later the sam sneed version was trash.
This is THE VERSION! What is up with the new terrible version?
Sample clearance issue.
They shouldn't of changed this version. I'm not fond of the other one because this the one that was on the cnn tape I bought
So, who's Killa Bee? Always have wondered this.
Havoc from mobb deeps older brother. They all belonged from the same hood in queens bridge, he was a well respected gangster. He died back in the 90s
@@adrianquintero8333 thanks a bunch! I do recall Havoc mentioning this in an old interview, but didn't realize that was his bro's name. Thanks again and have a blessed day.
Killa B was Havoc younger brother not older
