In response to a question about the existence of different versions of a J-Treds song. I feel his pain. Link

V: Aw, you played it and I was gonna ask if that was a lost Cenobites joint.

B: Hah. Yeah I don’t know, I get emails at least once every week, two weeks like, “yo Bob, you and Stretch played this song at like three four on April [dadada night]..”. You know how many records we played in twelve years? Well Stretch and I were together for eight years and then I stayed on until 2002, you know how many records were played? You know how many shitty demos, that like barely had any label information, or group information, you know? [Laughing]. You know how many white label test pressings we played?

V: Yeah, no doubt.

B: When I played Wu-Tang in December of 1992, there wasn’t even any writing on it. It was just a blank test record. They didn’t even write out of courtesy, like Wu-Tang Clang. I didn’t even know what I was playin’, people were callin’ up the show like, “Yo, what was that?” I don’t know. [Laughing]

V: [Laughing] Ah man, … J-Treds, “Recognize” and “Peace of Mind”… I think you remember J-Treds, the Peace of Mind demo. There was two versions. One had more of a hook[“..through tough times and hardships, I’m lost in the depths of reality..”]. Do you remember if they were strictly demos or if one was on a white label [or test press]?

B: You got me on that yo.

V: Okay. No doubt.

B: I have no idea. I know I put out a J-Treds 12 inch on Fondle ‘Em. [“Make It Happen”]I know he was part of Indelible MCs and that’s my man. J was more my man than anything. Like, that was my homeboy, you know, he’d been there for me. Like years before he started rhymin’.
