L.O.N.S.

 

 

A little while ago the original version of Tribe's "Scenario" surfaced featuring De La Soul and Blacksheep alongside Tribe and Leaders Of The New School. At that time the folks over at Unkut revealed there was yet another version that had super manager Chris Lighty and Jarobi rapping on it. Well this is that version. This might actually be the first time I've ever heard Jarobi rap. Q-Tip recently said the reason the song ended up with only L.O.N.S. on it was because “It was just too many people. I called niggas back, told niggas to come back the next day. Nobody came back. The only people that came back was Leaders, so then when they came back we just finished it.”

BONUS ATCQ:

A Tribe Called Quest performing "Footprints" from The Art Of Moving Butts Live video cassette WAY back in the day. This is biggest presence that I have ever seen Jarobi have in Tribe playing Q-Tip's hypeman/ad lib guy. Phife was basically a dancer who didn't dance that much and got the odd back up line. Dope as hell and jacked directly from the pages of MOD (once again).

 

 

 

 

Holy shit. This is a bonafied gem. An original version of Tribe's "Scenario" that features Leaders Of The New School, De La Soul and Blacksheep. Shouts to Unkut and the dude from 2020Proof for unearthing this. As the story goes, there are actually a few takes of the classic posse cut and this is one of them. There is apparently another version that features L.O.N.S., De La Soul, Blacksheep, Jungle Brother, and 'Baby' Chris Lighty. If it really exists then I'm sure it will surface one day. Check Unkut for the story. As a bonus I threw in all the "Scenario" remixes including the super classic Kid Hood mix.

The remix with Kid Hood goes down as one of the illest remixes ever, and Hood's verse goes down as one of the illest verses ever. This is his only appearence on wax that I'm aware of as he was killed two days after he recorded this. If anybody has the demo he recorded that led to him hooking up with Q-Tip and getting on the remix then PLEASE hook me up. The column below is from The Source and it breaks down who Kid Hood was and what happened. R.I.P. Hood.
