I want to go to bed, but it would be wrong if we didn't post this. "Scenario" is one of the greatest tracks in the history of hip-hop and quite possibly the greatest posse cut ever.
Here's an unreleased version that just popped out of nowhere 15+ years later.
"Scenario" (Unreleased) ft. De La Soul, Black Sheep & Leaders of the New School (L.O.N.S.)
Even stranger is the info that another version reportedly exists. Complete backstory over at Unkut.

I hear ya Josh H, pretty awesome to see the track back in the spotlight though. Then again this song still seems to move the crowd any time I'm out and I hear it. I love this part from the Unkut piece: We was at Unique Studio, that motherf**ker finished rhyming, he came out and goes, ‘That s**t was wack.’ That’s what Pos said. In the middle of his s**t, everybody was like, ‘Damn, yo!’ |

They should release an entire album of all the remixes and alternate versions that exist. I'd listen to that! |

this is even better than rick ross being a corrections officer. seriously, you never really hear about what might exist in the hip-hop vaults . . . outtakes, demos, alternate versions. this is insane history right here--best posse cut ever by the way. |

Slammin' emcees as if my name was Rick Flair? Brilliant! I know it's obvious but this version doesn't even come close to the original. I think I've had the lyrics to this song memorized for over 15 years. Definitely one of the best hip hop tracks of all-time. Damn those were good times for hip hop!
