@deejayalemus yeah i remember reading them at the time saying they hated it - they sounded really pissed off - to be honest I could live without hearing most of the tired old samples again myself (even if they were new at the time) I think this remix has really dated
@harrylfuller> buddy, report to the hazmat unit immediately, you reek of stupidity. And yes, it's the most appropriate nick for you, you're definitely 'fuller' of something. Fuller. Harryl Fuller. Just listen, idiot!
the female singer died of aids awhile back, i can't think of her name but boy i loved her voice.... she makes the song better, hot remix was in detroit when i first heard it.
Thanks for posting this on here. I first heard this remix version on 89.1 FM(WNYU) while I was right in the middle of my junior year at James Monroe High School in The Bronx before Kool DJ Red Alert and Mr. Magic(RIP) played it on their shows.
I remember teletunes (a PBS alternative music programs for the night-owl crowd) threw this in the middle of a rave set. The whole set was incredible, but this was a real gem...gotta love the Ofra Haza sample.
anyone know where i can find eric b and rakim - paid in full without the shitty long intro ?? just when he breaks into the rap 'thinking of a master plan ...' ?
@Communist2012 it's called search for the shorter version. and you must have never lived under a communist government to have a name like yours. listen to people who have. it doesnt work.
Surprisingly, I actually heard this song on the radio a few days ago, and even more surprisingly, it was on one of the stations that plays nothing but mainstream bullshit (106.7). I made my mom stay on the station until the end of the song.
I heard a sick remix of nas ether with a loop of ofra haza that was sick as fuck!! I heard it on the radio and never heard it again. if anyone has a clue post so i know where to find it please!
I used to roll up...Studio 54, 10-18, Rose land....This used to pump through the speakers and if you wasn't shakin up you were not human...The Sampling of the Ofrah Haza chorus was shear genius...Thanks for posting and taking me back to my younger years

This is definitely one of those songs that paused me in my tracks. This remix blew my mind. Rakim was the absolute best and gave birth to two generations of hip hop artists.
@andregs2 Not Arab, Israeli. The singer is Ofra Haza and it's sampled from her single Im Nin'alu (originally a poem written in the 17th century) which was sung in Hebrew. The part sampled here is "Im nin'alu daltei n'divim daltei marom lo nin'alu. El Chai, mareimawm..." - "Even if the gates of the rich will be closed, the gates of heaven will never be closed. The Creator reigns..."
@cossiemuffin theres still good musci out there you just have to look for it, you will 98% of the time will not find quality hip-hop on tv or the radio
a massive Alien spacefleet does a slo-motion fly-by of earth, and we all hear this bassline pumping from every ship, in sync... familiarity comforts human beings. . .
FYI the lady singing in this song is ofrah haza she saying “even if the doors to riches r closed, the doors to heaven is always open” she died of A.I.D.S in 2000, sad she had a pretty voice
Coming from an ex-convict that spent over 10 years in the pen...The woman singing in this song has touched my soul for the better. What language is she speaking? Whatever it is, it's beautiful.
I remember hearing this mix for the first time in like 88 or 89. I was living in LA. I had just seen 'Colors' for the first time and a friend gave me this on a mixtape. Fuckin Gold, this track!!
Ok my peop'es, "THIS IS A TEST" ;}~ I'm following the instructions I've been given, thus, I have no doubt that I'll get this right. If I do, I'm afraid you may have created a monster.. cuz I love music (NOT ALL types, but Most ). I'll be posting stuff across the board, so I hope you will enjoy... Peeese!
