Just discovered this channel, it's amazing as an Em fan since 2005 to listen some of these old tracks I've been looking for since more than 15 years ago. I think you , DJ Butter, should really get in touch with Em to see if you can make something and release these tracks commercially. Thats a glimpse of the earlier history of a 2000's rap legend, and I think you deserve recognition for havin a part in it.
Well, we're still friends, but neither he nor I are interested in releasing any of this material commercially, sorry. As well; I'm not D.J. Butter, as he's another deejay from Detroit and not associated with us at all. The site, Genius, has me confused with him for some ludicrous reason.
Beat-wise, this is basically a pre-cursor to Biterphobia. That's awesome. So awesome to hear these rare Bassmint/Soul Intent songs. Thanks, Butteh Fingiz!
Hey Dj Butter Fingers. I don't know much about Dj's, or how people manage the rap beats, but you are actually insane in these Soul Intent songs. You were making history back in the day when you guys were making these songs. I only wish you got some more popularity, because you were Eminem's first stepping stones into recording. Thank you bro for helping pave the way for good music to still exist 🙏
Well, I'd not done anything for praise/popularity and as it's always been about doing what'd always been in me as my love for the culture of Hip-Hop/music in general, but your sentiment is appreciated all the same, so thank you for your considerate words here!
I heard these tracks back around 98/99, either just before or just after My Name Is dropped. Been trying to find copies of tapes online but no one seems to have any or are unwilling to sell. I've got the New Jacks on cassette, I badly want a physical copy of this. I know I'm clutching at straws as these would've been passed about probably for free out the back of Em's car

I stumbled on Soul Intent tracks like 4 years ago, read all i could on the internet and got more confused than when i started, other than i knew that 8 mile was almost complete BS other than maybe very few facts sprinkled in. Reading the comments on these have answered the vast majority of my questions. And introduced me to a few tracks i hadnt heard yet. Thanks brother This is awesome!
@@goblingas420 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is over 50 years old. It's been performed on stage, recorded by several casts, and in at least one movie by tons of people. I'm not sure which recording of it was used on this mix though; possibly the original London cast recording, the movie version, or maybe the first one on Broadway with Murray Head as Judas.
@Butteh Fingiz hey man. always wanted to know, what was the relationship between bassmint productions and the bass brothers? the whole bass thing is kinda confusing lol. was there a bassmint/bass bros crossover period or did those guys "find" marshall after the bassmint/soul intent days? thank you for sharing legit history
The confusion over the Bass Bros. thing is for 2 reasons. 1.) When Em was starting to become noticed/famous, he and Mark Bass deliberately came up with a history that wasn't the real one, claiming Mark had discovered him when he was like 15 or some shit like that, and that he was a few years younger than he actually was when he was starting to gain notice in '97/'98. 2.) Someone put a false history on Wikipedia, giving the Bass Bros. credit for forming Bassmint Productions. It's complete fabrication and horseshit that they had even an iota to do with the forming of Bassmint, Soul Intent or even New Jacks. We were Bassmint for a year when we met Mark Bass in late 1990, and that was because he heard a song of ours, 'Crackers 'N Cheese,' on 96.3 WHYT on Lisa Lisa's Open Mic Night. Why they decided to go with a made up history is beyond me, but it's the reason I'm having to do clean up now. Hell, as recently as a few years ago, in Rolling Stone, Mark Bass did an interview claiming he and Em met in '95 or '96, so he's still spreading a nonsensical history that even people who are confused on the history, with even what's out there, would know that it's bullshit that they met that late.
@@d33j4ybf thank you for the detailed reply. the odd coincidence with "bass"mint and "bass"brothers was confusing. how much work did you do with them after you guys first met? mark tells the story of hearing em then straight to infinite but what happened in the 5 years between? were you in their studio making songs and shopping for deals with them?
@@xbtro8047...No, it was because their studio, at the time we met them, which was out of Mark's house, was named Bassment Sounds. We recorded a good handful of tracks there in '91, one with a dude he knew, Joe Vitale, at his studio and the 'F#@!in' Backstabber/Biterphobia' tape at the one at 8 Mile & Woodward, the same studio 'Infinite' was recorded at. We never shopped deals with them, but when we first met Mark, he said he worked for Electra records, but that wasn't exactly true. He'd gotten a duo from here, Tycie & Woody, signed to Electra and thought he might be able to get us signed, as well, but nothing ever became of that.
You ever going to drop (The track) "Soul Intent"? Last unreleased track from the Soul Intent EP... Spent too many years and too much money looking for it.. Either way, I can't thank you enough for dropping all this.
Possibly, in the future. I have the studio version, so we'll see. Just these for now, though. The main purpose of doing this was to get both versions of 'One-Handed Juggler' up because people keep claiming that it's 'Crackers 'N Cheese.' Also, to clear up all the misinformation about our early history.
@@d33j4ybf One more thing to ask, I know several people who'd be willing to pay you out of the love of his work if they have to, who I have contact with, but you got any of the shit with Big P that never leaked out?
This was recorded before we had ever heard Naughty By Nature, as they hadn't released anything as that until September of '91. They were The New Style two years before, but we weren't really on them then, either.
Wow you just gave me even more insight on that. thats crazy, I appreciate you for taking time to respond thats humbling and regardless of the day and age you guys started something that obviously changed the world and its good to see you still spin too that shit is so hard fr thank you for all your contributions to history
@@-Mwk- You're welcome. It's not a problem, the sole purpose of my doing all this is to clear up the mis/disinformation on our early history and material, anyway. Yeah, I'm still doing that, producing and recording, it's in my blood, I suppose.
It really is a documented time in ems career but it still feels like even when you look for info on the soul intent or most of the bassmint prod. Songs there’s really only audio but you really KNOW what was going on and you know people are gonna be flooding this page when they realize it’s you! Never quit scratching; not enough djs nowadays even spin real records it’s all digital turntables and as cool of tech that is it aint the same
Thanks for posting this stuff up. Every single Soul Intent song gives me the same feeling as waking up, eating a sugary jelly donut with some strong coffee, and hitting a strong vape-every song is just such a rush, it’s just “GO GO GO” Did you guys use any tracking software back in the day, may I ask? Eg Protracker on the Amiga or Screamtracker / ImpulseTracker on the pc? Saw an interview with Manix (RIP) from a few years ago, looks like he was using FruityLoops on an old PC 🤔
Wow, what an absolute hidden gem. Are there any official lyrics for the portion from 2:12 to 2:38? It's incredibly fast, and it doesn't seem the internet has the full verse.

@@alredeyezonlens6809...I haven't released or uploaded anything, until now. The main reasons being that this track is what some are claiming is 'Crackers 'N Cheese,' so this was uploaded to end the debate over that. The main purpose of doing this is to clear up all the misinformation on the early history and material. I threw in a few other tracks for good measure and to give people a better idea of the sound of the early catalogue, as well. As far as getting a reaction video from him, I wouldn't hold my breath, that's just not something he'd ever be likely to do.
Butteh fingaz I know this is old, but do you have any tips on producing, or anything to do with music, I'm so fascinated with goure work with eminem before he was so popular. And how you made these very cool beats.
I didn't do the beats on this material. While I do production and have for almost 3 decades, my twin brother, Manix, was the producer for most of the Bassmint Productions tracks and produced all of the Soul Intent tracks. I did a few of them for the Bassmint stuff and provided samples and ideas for some of those, none of which are uploaded here, but that was it. I was mostly the deejay in Bassmint and Soul Intent and did all the scratches on all the tracks that have them.
@Micheal...It's not a reference to me, nor is it a diss or anything to do with my channel. We've been friends for almost 32 years, so nothing like that is going down.
@@goblingas420 It's a combination of four bars of the drums from the break in The Rascals' 'See' and the drums that Manix had programmed using the Roland R-8...
He mentions it or answers this question in comments on one of his other videos of early Em songs. To summarise, he said Chaos was descending into a poor mental state, and his unfortunate suicide is not Ems fault. But I encourage you to go look for his actual comments on the other video cause I'm just referencing what he said from memory
Did it occur to any of you guys back 33 years ago just how much potential Em had? Chaos kid was dope too but did you guys ever look at each other and say "Marshall is just ridiculously obsessed with progressing" You all obviously loved hip hop, so was it weird for white kids to be seen rapping/supporting the culture at that time? What year did you meet M & did you ever meet Goofy Gary or Proof at all?
I don't want anyone uploading any of this material to their channels. It takes the focus away from mine, that's why I didn't provide links for that express purpose.
@@d33j4ybf well dang that kinda sucks since i put a lot of effort into my remasters, i just want to provide songs for people in the highest quality possible.
@@d33j4ybf There's a guy that's trying to sell a fake New Jacks tape and a few fake Bassmint tapes. Can you post a video telling people what tapes are real and what tapes are fake. Thanks.
I haven't really had the time to transcribe them, and Idk if someone has by now, but if that's so, they're probably rife with mistakes, judging from what I've seen from previous transcriptions from those not involved with the material.
Yeah, it's a freestyle, we had a term for all of our freestyles, we called them 'Suckerin' Rhymes.' They weren't meant to be taken seriously or how The Source tried to portray that and 'Foolish Pride' as. As well, 'So Many Styles' was untitled, someone, probably Benzino, named it that.
Butteh Fingiz thank you for confirming it. I never heard the freestyle before until some video of this lady “exposing” Em. She made the claim that someone from Interscope or someone from Em crew bought off more tapes with Em saying more racist slurs. Idk if it’s true or not but hopefully you can confirm or deny it
@@javierluz7569...Idk anything about Interscope or anyone connected to him buying up tapes. I had to look up the woman you're talking about, she's an imbecile and has no clue what she's rambling about. Just for the fact she puts ANY stock in what Debbie Mathers & Chumptown say. Debbie Mathers is a sociopath and Chumptown is a flat-out liar and opportunist, he's not a producer, nor did he produce ANYTHING for Em, Manix produced most of the material for him in those days and produced for Chump. Em wasn't signed to any label of Chump's, because he didn't have one. This Lashid4U asshole, as well, understands nothing and does fuck-all but speculate, completely incorrectly. She seems abnormally obsessed, which, besides all the horseshit she spews, destroys all objectivity. She reaches conclusions based on no knowledge of fact, whatsoever. The only thing she's "exposed" is herself and how very little she knows.
@@onestar8753...I have a number of unreleased tracks, but nothing from 'Infinite.' I only have my original pre-release copy on wax, and the only thing I have of Proof's solo material is the promo wax of 'Anywhere' and the couple other tracks that are on there.
βυττεһ Fíпgíz do you have the proof anywhere EP digitized? Since you have the full thing? Been looking for it for about a year and half now. I would trade a rare j dilla tape for it, if you know someone who does please let me know or if you do
The rhymes and flow get really ridiculous from em here and it almost sounds like one take? killer production & rhyming. gotta ask, was the cast out juggler anyone in particular? dude got slammed
No, it's just a blanket stand-in that applies to all wack emcees. I don't remember how many takes were recorded, but each verse contained are of one take and no punch-ins, as we always wanted to get the recordings as organic as possible.
Hi Butter, Thank you for your hard work and clearing up the misinformation is very much appreciated. I'm wondering, out of the original and the studio versions of OHJ, which one was released on SITB and on the M&M solo? Thank you!
@@d33j4ybf Thank for the quick reply. May I know who came up with the name "Soul Intent" and what was the motive behind the name change? And why exactly that? I read that you didn't like the change at all so I guess you were not involved in figuring out the new name. Sorry if it's been already answered.
@@kavasr I believe that it was Chaos Kid who came up with it, as he was the most adamant about the name change, but I'm not completely sure, nor on why, specifically, Soul Intent. I just know that I hated it as much then as now, because it came off like the names of early 90's Hip-Hop influenced R&B groups (think Color Me Badd) and that the renaming had killed the momentum and the beginnings of a following that we'd acquired as Bassmint.
@@d33j4ybf TH-cam is trash, I'm not getting notifications. Anyways, absolutely understandable why you felt that. I also would like to know is there any particular reason you were not credited for Infinite? Was it on purpose by Em? Any conflict between you guys at that time? I think it's a shame, you would have totally deserved that credit. Your scratching skills are extremely impressive and what you did on Biterphobia is just out of this world.
@@kavasr Same here, as I don't get half of the notifications for the comments on here. YT could kick rocks if I didn't need them for this express purpose. No, we were still working together and good friends, but I think that it was simply an oversight that I'm uncredited; it certainly wasn't due to trying to write me out of the picture, as I'm clearly mentioned on 'Tonite.' No one could ever get correct the way my handle was laid out or spelled, anyway. That's a glowing review, so thank you! Not too bad a job for someone self-taught & missing fingers on his left hand, if I do say so myself, but I never considered myself great or anything like that; just good enough to get the job done.
@@rottenandremixedrecords If one were into the whole tantric thing, then no... Not entirely impossible a task to juggle with one hand either; not me, but I've seen it done.
You know he''s referencing Supersonic J.J Fad with those lyrics on Rap God. He even says it before he starts going fast "Lyrics comin' at you at supersonic speed (J.J. Fad) Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assumin' I'm a human What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman?" The summa lumma part is from supersonic

[Verse 1: Eminem]
A new day is dawned upon us, the grass is green
It's time for the letter thirteen
To make an entrance and put my foot forward
And take a step forward, now take the scene
That's fine, the setup with your cold busted deaf rhymes
I've heard enough of that to last me a lifetime
The fuse is lit, now just stay clear from
And prepare your eardrums to hear some fierce piercing
An ear-piercing sound
Lyrics that are gruesome 'cause I determine the deuce
I'm coming with damage at the weakened ones who kicked them
Lyrics so simple, you could literally predict them
Try to go a little bit fast, with the jam, keep it with the band
With the Vans, keepin' it up like they're making it even harder to handle
So do not try to hang with the gang, what you can do is hang with the senseless
I am relentless, sent to the click or two
Better sit up 'cause soul intent gonna like it to what most do
Already towards the store because you've heard similar sounds before
But once you learn again, I'm livin up to rapper
It's not an easy chore
But as soon as I grab the mic, I strike and write
And he'll react to them again, M&M is talkin' about the Nikes
To gain speed, guess I'll lead the new breed
I speed the stampede, to make a man bleed
I'm reckless, unaffected, when I wreak this
Formed this, but that enormous
When I strike I feel angry, total anguish
But I fake where you panic, then I vanish, from his sight
'Cause ignorance is blind, knowledge is to realize
Give it chance to stick into your skull and your real eyes
The richer will never see me coming, and that's a bet
Next time you're getting stupid trying to be prepared
[Verse 2: Eminem]
My dream's alive, it gave me something to strive for
The fact that I drive good made me wanna drive more
Reach the flip side I put aside the mom side
Hide the child side, I'm walking the wild side
I stand in the jungle, the jungle with both hands
I swing on vines, in the trees flyin', Tarzan
A lot of people say I just up and disappeared
'Cause that the fact that I say that somebody wish they were here
But if I'm making a point, I make sure that it's sounding good
I don't just put words together that sound good
Now I taught better which word I say I'll get displeased
I turn it so frickin' low in a Swiss cheese
Leaving not a single, footprint in the sand
It's amazing how fast the boy grew to become a man
And I said I know man, something as a donkey
Just said like a honkey? Huh-uh, no
Do I need to prove this? Most likely, yes
So let's just see how truly far I can go
[Break: Eminem]
One, two, three
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Taking it to the limit, once again, it's a single dance
Zoomin' the pen, numb in the hand, with a secret fued against
Anyone's by myself behind
In a minute, I'm going a million miles, and give it a punch line
Making the mess of everybody, and leaving them in the mist, someone leaves a diss
I'mma be knocking out so fast, that he be showing a clench
So be thinking, ready to give it a shot
You better be set to give it every single ounce of energy that you got
And now your holdin' a mic, you better keep on punching rhymes
Don't hold the mic anymore, your just wastin' precious time
Taking the weak back, giving a wack beat
Try to damage and slam this you ignoramus
Get in the backseat, and shut your damn mouth
Beat going, juggle the beat gone, I cast you out
Thanks 👌👌
i heard: would you get an native slang with the senseless
instead of: what you can do is hang with the senseless

@@goblingas420 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is over 50 years old. It's been performed on stage, recorded by several casts, and in at least one movie by tons of people. I'm not sure which recording of it was used on this mix though; possibly the original London cast recording, the movie version, or maybe the first one on Broadway with Murray Head as Judas.
Biterphobia vibes 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Butteh Fingiz hey man. always wanted to know, what was the relationship between bassmint productions and the bass brothers? the whole bass thing is kinda confusing lol. was there a bassmint/bass bros crossover period or did those guys "find" marshall after the bassmint/soul intent days?
thank you for sharing legit history
The confusion over the Bass Bros. thing is for 2 reasons. 1.) When Em was starting to become noticed/famous, he and Mark Bass deliberately came up with a history that wasn't the real one, claiming Mark had discovered him when he was like 15 or some shit like that, and that he was a few years younger than he actually was when he was starting to gain notice in '97/'98. 2.) Someone put a false history on Wikipedia, giving the Bass Bros. credit for forming Bassmint Productions. It's complete fabrication and horseshit that they had even an iota to do with the forming of Bassmint, Soul Intent or even New Jacks. We were Bassmint for a year when we met Mark Bass in late 1990, and that was because he heard a song of ours, 'Crackers 'N Cheese,' on 96.3 WHYT on Lisa Lisa's Open Mic Night. Why they decided to go with a made up history is beyond me, but it's the reason I'm having to do clean up now. Hell, as recently as a few years ago, in Rolling Stone, Mark Bass did an interview claiming he and Em met in '95 or '96, so he's still spreading a nonsensical history that even people who are confused on the history, with even what's out there, would know that it's bullshit that they met that late.
@@d33j4ybf thank you for the detailed reply. the odd coincidence with "bass"mint and "bass"brothers was confusing. how much work did you do with them after you guys first met? mark tells the story of hearing em then straight to infinite but what happened in the 5 years between? were you in their studio making songs and shopping for deals with them?
@@xbtro8047...No, it was because their studio, at the time we met them, which was out of Mark's house, was named Bassment Sounds. We recorded a good handful of tracks there in '91, one with a dude he knew, Joe Vitale, at his studio and the 'F#@!in' Backstabber/Biterphobia' tape at the one at 8 Mile & Woodward, the same studio 'Infinite' was recorded at. We never shopped deals with them, but when we first met Mark, he said he worked for Electra records, but that wasn't exactly true. He'd gotten a duo from here, Tycie & Woody, signed to Electra and thought he might be able to get us signed, as well, but nothing ever became of that.
manix production with butter fingers scratching >
You ever going to drop (The track) "Soul Intent"? Last unreleased track from the Soul Intent EP... Spent too many years and too much money looking for it..
Either way, I can't thank you enough for dropping all this.
Possibly, in the future. I have the studio version, so we'll see. Just these for now, though. The main purpose of doing this was to get both versions of 'One-Handed Juggler' up because people keep claiming that it's 'Crackers 'N Cheese.' Also, to clear up all the misinformation about our early history.
@dhfjhd gfjdjf...Yes. The correct title IS 'Soul Intent,' though.
@@d33j4ybf Is Closer Than This something different? I've seen that listed as an alias for the song as well
@@londonuk2001 It is different.
@@d33j4ybf One more thing to ask, I know several people who'd be willing to pay you out of the love of his work if they have to, who I have contact with, but you got any of the shit with Big P that never leaked out?
This might actually contain his fastest burst.
My amazon warehouse lets us play clean music and imma add this to the playlist
Matt What’s going on brother! How have you and Ryan been haven’t seen you in forever !
Mad treach vibes and you know you love it
This was recorded before we had ever heard Naughty By Nature, as they hadn't released anything as that until September of '91. They were The New Style two years before, but we weren't really on them then, either.
Wow you just gave me even more insight on that. thats crazy, I appreciate you for taking time to respond thats humbling and regardless of the day and age you guys started something that obviously changed the world and its good to see you still spin too that shit is so hard fr thank you for all your contributions to history
@@-Mwk-
You're welcome. It's not a problem, the sole purpose of my doing all this is to clear up the mis/disinformation on our early history and material, anyway. Yeah, I'm still doing that, producing and recording, it's in my blood, I suppose.
It really is a documented time in ems career but it still feels like even when you look for info on the soul intent or most of the bassmint prod. Songs there’s really only audio but you really KNOW what was going on and you know people are gonna be flooding this page when they realize it’s you! Never quit scratching; not enough djs nowadays even spin real records it’s all digital turntables and as cool of tech that is it aint the same
Thanks for posting this stuff up. Every single Soul Intent song gives me the same feeling as waking up, eating a sugary jelly donut with some strong coffee, and hitting a strong vape-every song is just such a rush, it’s just “GO GO GO”
Did you guys use any tracking software back in the day, may I ask? Eg Protracker on the Amiga or Screamtracker / ImpulseTracker on the pc?
Saw an interview with Manix (RIP) from a few years ago, looks like he was using FruityLoops on an old PC 🤔
dope!!! Specially middle underground 90s!!!
Thanks! We'd recorded this in early '91, though.
Is there a way to get one of those sweatshirts?
yeees pleeeease
Omg yes I would buy
Wow, what an absolute hidden gem. Are there any official lyrics for the portion from 2:12 to 2:38? It's incredibly fast, and it doesn't seem the internet has the full verse.

Get in the backseat and shut your damn mouth

Were you there when he made Biterphobia?
He made the beat for biterphobia do you not hear the inspiration from this song?
Hey Butter Fingers, do you still connect with Eminem anymore? You can answer if you want, just curious.
Do you know what the chances of a rerelease on a cd would be?
can you get the lyrics to all these songs?❤
Yo Đ.J. βυττεһ Fíпgíz, by any chance u can give me the names of the EP's/ LP's u made with em and bassmint
Still keep in touch with Em?
It's been a minute, but we're still friends.
@@alredeyezonlens6809...I haven't released or uploaded anything, until now. The main reasons being that this track is what some are claiming is 'Crackers 'N Cheese,' so this was uploaded to end the debate over that. The main purpose of doing this is to clear up all the misinformation on the early history and material. I threw in a few other tracks for good measure and to give people a better idea of the sound of the early catalogue, as well. As far as getting a reaction video from him, I wouldn't hold my breath, that's just not something he'd ever be likely to do.
Why the shirt switch halfway thru the vid
Butteh fingaz I know this is old, but do you have any tips on producing, or anything to do with music, I'm so fascinated with goure work with eminem before he was so popular. And how you made these very cool beats.
I didn't do the beats on this material. While I do production and have for almost 3 decades, my twin brother, Manix, was the producer for most of the Bassmint Productions tracks and produced all of the Soul Intent tracks. I did a few of them for the Bassmint stuff and provided samples and ideas for some of those, none of which are uploaded here, but that was it. I was mostly the deejay in Bassmint and Soul Intent and did all the scratches on all the tracks that have them.
@@d33j4ybf oh ok cool, thanks for the reply man.
@Micheal...It's not a reference to me, nor is it a diss or anything to do with my channel. We've been friends for almost 32 years, so nothing like that is going down.
this sum hard shit
Esta versión es mejor que la otra
Where is the drum sample from?
@@goblingas420
It's a combination of four bars of the drums from the break in The Rascals' 'See' and the drums that Manix had programmed using the Roland R-8...
@@d33j4ybf damn, thought I could use the sample in a beat
Do u ever get to know about the rough relation between em and chaos kid?
He mentions it or answers this question in comments on one of his other videos of early Em songs. To summarise, he said Chaos was descending into a poor mental state, and his unfortunate suicide is not Ems fault. But I encourage you to go look for his actual comments on the other video cause I'm just referencing what he said from memory
Hey, I was wondering if you happened to have the lyrics for this or other tracks?
🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love you butteh.
Did it occur to any of you guys back 33 years ago just how much potential Em had? Chaos kid was dope too but did you guys ever look at each other and say "Marshall is just ridiculously obsessed with progressing" You all obviously loved hip hop, so was it weird for white kids to be seen rapping/supporting the culture at that time? What year did you meet M & did you ever meet Goofy Gary or Proof at all?
Can you post a lyric video of this?
bro was harder than all the 80s dudes in the 80s
This was recorded in '91.
Anyone knows where to find the lyrics? :D
There is none.
Hey, I made a remastered version of this. Would you mind if I posted? I will credit you for posting and description
I don't want anyone uploading any of this material to their channels. It takes the focus away from mine, that's why I didn't provide links for that express purpose.
@@d33j4ybf well dang that kinda sucks since i put a lot of effort into my remasters, i just want to provide songs for people in the highest quality possible.
@@d33j4ybf There's a guy that's trying to sell a fake New Jacks tape and a few fake Bassmint tapes. Can you post a video telling people what tapes are real and what tapes are fake. Thanks.
Anyone have the lyrics to this?
I haven't really had the time to transcribe them, and Idk if someone has by now, but if that's so, they're probably rife with mistakes, judging from what I've seen from previous transcriptions from those not involved with the material.
“I’m determined to do some permanent damage to” the weaker ones
@Butteh Fingez on the track So Many Styles, was that really Em saying the N word
Yeah, it's a freestyle, we had a term for all of our freestyles, we called them 'Suckerin' Rhymes.' They weren't meant to be taken seriously or how The Source tried to portray that and 'Foolish Pride' as. As well, 'So Many Styles' was untitled, someone, probably Benzino, named it that.
Butteh Fingiz thank you for confirming it. I never heard the freestyle before until some video of this lady “exposing” Em. She made the claim that someone from Interscope or someone from Em crew bought off more tapes with Em saying more racist slurs. Idk if it’s true or not but hopefully you can confirm or deny it
@@javierluz7569...Idk anything about Interscope or anyone connected to him buying up tapes. I had to look up the woman you're talking about, she's an imbecile and has no clue what she's rambling about. Just for the fact she puts ANY stock in what Debbie Mathers & Chumptown say. Debbie Mathers is a sociopath and Chumptown is a flat-out liar and opportunist, he's not a producer, nor did he produce ANYTHING for Em, Manix produced most of the material for him in those days and produced for Chump. Em wasn't signed to any label of Chump's, because he didn't have one. This Lashid4U asshole, as well, understands nothing and does fuck-all but speculate, completely incorrectly. She seems abnormally obsessed, which, besides all the horseshit she spews, destroys all objectivity. She reaches conclusions based on no knowledge of fact, whatsoever. The only thing she's "exposed" is herself and how very little she knows.
Butteh Fingiz well thank you for telling the truth . Hopefully we can hear more about the old bassmint production days in the future.
@@d33j4ybf what about straight jacket records doe? What year was that established?
I've gotta be one of the only 13 year olds who actually listens to this
Nope, I listen to this also.
Is there more to be released ?
There's a good number of unreleased tracks, but I'm not uploading everything. May be a few more unheard ones coming in the future.
@@d33j4ybf amazing!!!!!
Yo can we talk in private?
I don't give out my email or #, so if you have questions, you're gonna have to ask them on here.

βυττεһ Fíпgíz and do you have this tape called wego vol 1? Has dj head and proof on it as well as Jay Dee from slum village
@@onestar8753...I have a number of unreleased tracks, but nothing from 'Infinite.' I only have my original pre-release copy on wax, and the only thing I have of Proof's solo material is the promo wax of 'Anywhere' and the couple other tracks that are on there.
βυττεһ Fíпgíz do you have the proof anywhere EP digitized? Since you have the full thing? Been looking for it for about a year and half now. I would trade a rare j dilla tape for it, if you know someone who does please let me know or if you do
Is it me or is there a section In there that sounds like biterphobia
It’s the same sample I can link the original if you want
This is like biterphobia 2
Edit: biterphobia came second
It’s biterphobia 0.5
The rhymes and flow get really ridiculous from em here and it almost sounds like one take? killer production & rhyming. gotta ask, was the cast out juggler anyone in particular? dude got slammed
No, it's just a blanket stand-in that applies to all wack emcees. I don't remember how many takes were recorded, but each verse contained are of one take and no punch-ins, as we always wanted to get the recordings as organic as possible.
Hi Butter, Thank you for your hard work and clearing up the misinformation is very much appreciated.
I'm wondering, out of the original and the studio versions of OHJ, which one was released on SITB and on the M&M solo? Thank you!
You're welcome. The versions on both of those tapes is the studio one.
@@d33j4ybf Thank for the quick reply. May I know who came up with the name "Soul Intent" and what was the motive behind the name change? And why exactly that? I read that you didn't like the change at all so I guess you were not involved in figuring out the new name. Sorry if it's been already answered.
@@kavasr
I believe that it was Chaos Kid who came up with it, as he was the most adamant about the name change, but I'm not completely sure, nor on why, specifically, Soul Intent. I just know that I hated it as much then as now, because it came off like the names of early 90's Hip-Hop influenced R&B groups (think Color Me Badd) and that the renaming had killed the momentum and the beginnings of a following that we'd acquired as Bassmint.
@@d33j4ybf TH-cam is trash, I'm not getting notifications. Anyways, absolutely understandable why you felt that. I also would like to know is there any particular reason you were not credited for Infinite? Was it on purpose by Em? Any conflict between you guys at that time? I think it's a shame, you would have totally deserved that credit. Your scratching skills are extremely impressive and what you did on Biterphobia is just out of this world.
@@kavasr
Same here, as I don't get half of the notifications for the comments on here. YT could kick rocks if I didn't need them for this express purpose. No, we were still working together and good friends, but I think that it was simply an oversight that I'm uncredited; it certainly wasn't due to trying to write me out of the picture, as I'm clearly mentioned on 'Tonite.' No one could ever get correct the way my handle was laid out or spelled, anyway. That's a glowing review, so thank you! Not too bad a job for someone self-taught & missing fingers on his left hand, if I do say so myself, but I never considered myself great or anything like that; just good enough to get the job done.
AxA
The instrumental is similar to biterphobia
Not really, it's just the use of the 'Heaven On Their Minds' sample that we used for this, almost 4 years previous to the recording of 'Biterphobia.'
Just like no handed mastabation it's impossible
