Guys I...Here's a reply from L-Swift himself:<br /> <br /> Guys I want y’all to understand something, whenever y’all hear a track with Me (L-Swift/Swigga) and Abutta and No Voo, those are 2face songs NOT Natural Elements like when Voo is on the Track, we started that policy in 96 as to Not Confuse the Fans or Fool them into thinking it’s NE with All 3 Members, this is y Phonesex was said to sound so “Smooth” as the 2Face Sound is NOT like NE, that particular track was NEVER gonna be on the NE Tommy Boy Album, Tommy Boy prob NEVER even Heard that song as it was recorded in 1997 Before we even signed to them. As far as the Voo Solo Track he decided to NOT put it on there n keep it FULL Group Stuff. As far as Shots Fired we decided to Leave all Stuff with Ka OFF of this Album as (even tho we Still Homies) he got his Own thing going on, And to Respect the Death of Kev (Odd Brawl from Nightbreed n we decided the Content of that song didn’t fit that album. Then there’s a song called “I’m Not Sure” That was gonna have Supercat featured on there n the Hook I layed was just a Reference so we didn’t use that for That Reason. So we Not “Hiding Gems” we have Very Specific Reasons y we didn’t or Did put certain songs. Hope y’all understand what i mean.

But yeah, like I said, it's still really good news overall and definitely a recommended, must-have 2LP.<br /><br />As for the unreleased songs, yeah, it's the other ones that were part of the leaked album. We still don't have official titles for them all, since there's never been a legit release; but the fanbase definitely knows what's up. SW's talking about one (the Phone Sex song) in the comment above ours. Another, based on the hook, would probably be called "Shots Fired," and there was an ill Mr. Voodoo solo song where he starts off, "we bout to do this shit like we used to do in 9-3." Then one I guess one or two are more like musical interludes, because they talk on the track but never actually get into full verses. So I guess that's not such a terrible loss to have been left off, but some of that shelved stuff's gold.<br /><br />And I'm super excited for the "more to come!"Werner von Wallenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102856408266833762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532830659867404404.post-39538963916991272982020-01-31T01:33:37.481-05:002020-01-31T01:33:37.481-05:00Just some background.

Its all the singles because its their main body of work. Remastered for cd 16 bit. And the vinyl 24 for some extra pop. Its more cohesive sound and layout wise. Also more to come but didnt want to mess around to much and create a totally different album. Also those 6 tracks not sure what they are even the crew isnt. Could be tommy boy leaks. But this was done for them. The fans. And l swifts mother Agatha. Labor of love we appreciate the feedback and gotta have pros and cons. But the main pro. Artists had full creative control over their lifes work. Thats my job fullfiled. Thank you for the post and words. MIKE COLE.
