[@fireemblem2770]

Honestly I REALLY like this, but compared to the original Dead Presidents and Dead Presidents II, this one has a bit of a sadder, even darker feel to it. Still, it is very good. I wish both this and the original Dead Presidents would get more attention, as much as Dead Presidents II gets.

[@iWearBlackPacks]

this instrumental is actually just the original dead presidents instrumental played in reverse that's probably why it sounds a little eerie

[@TheHumanBallsack]

Don't forget that the original Dead Presidents was released with the video back in 96, part 2 only saw release via the album itself.

[@anthonyjrtigerstephen5987]

FireEmblem27 by far the best

[@keeblerelmcookies]

What’s the difference between Dead presidents 1 and 2? Everytime I search for 1 it’s the same as 2 and vice Versa

[@WithDreday]

@@keeblerelmcookies Dead presidents 1 is only on youtube as far as I know. Same instrumental but very different lyrics. I prefer 1 to II tbh. It needs an official album release seeing it's already considered such a classic.

[@TheEazyDuzIt95]

How could he leave this off American Gangster? By far would have been the best song on the album.

[@MazSix45]

+David Zamarripa exactly bro that album would have been way more recognized than it is.

[@sherroychapman2512]

+David Zamarripa It Didn't Fit

[@iBreakinlol]

+David Zamarripa descriptions a lie, leftover from black album. the last verse is on moment of clarity off of the black album. He probably switched the verse on here to moment of clarity when he decided not to do the song. He also probably didnt put the song on the album cuz he didnt wanna upset a classic and make something that people might not think is as good

[@sbrooks904]

There's a ton a recycled lines on here from older songs

[@kwilliams544]

This was made for the Black Album and never got finished. It only leaked in 2007 around the time of American Gangster. That's its only relation to that movie.

[@Moose185]

Sounds reasonable doubt time to me, there is no way this was made for the black album.

[@scottantonio7]

+moose185 he used a Lebron line this black album era

[@julianalvarez3234]

moose185 you’re one of those people that just likes to disagree with other people. It wasn’t supposed to be on reasonable doubt. And it wasn’t made in 2007. It was made for the black album. He even said a few lines that were on “moment of clarity.”

[@hiphopsommelier352]

Bros, he mentions Sebastian Telfair - who was drafted 2004. I really think this was made after Black Album.

I like how he used the AZ line “Washington’s go to wifey” from the music video.

[@TriplomatX]

He always uses lines from Friends like AZ. I notice it too. But I wouldn't call it a borrow, cause Jay wouldn't need to. Though Cam exposed most of the line borrows.
