    My fav on this has to be warning … That Issac Hays sample walk on by. The beat is simple but goes hard. Big showcases his story telling and just flows effortlessly how he usually does.

    For those that dont know DOOM also sampled the same track on lickupon.

    Also Wu Tang Sampled it in the song I can’t go to sleep. All bangers

    A DVD came with the album reissue and this live version of unbelievable came with it

    I always preferred the beat in this version to the album beat. Anyone know if there was a version recorded with this beat ?

      That live video is sick. Hope you can find a recorded version with that beat, because you are right, that version of the beat is super good.
