Hi guys, appreciate you checking out my blends. This one in particular is one of my early works (starting from way back in spring 2007), and I have a couple of things that I want to say regarding a few matters that I often see people talk about:
1. These are NOT official blends. The producers' names are mentioned to make sure that I absolutely do not get any credit for the beat itself. The producers DID NOT do the blending jobs; I did. So if you don't like the blend, don't go off thinking that a producer did a poor job; I did. I admire these producers and beat makers (I intend and hope to be one one day), and it hurts me to see when people blame these producers for a bad blending job.
2. In the manner of speaking, my intent of making these blends is not to outdo the original producers. Sure, some beats may just happen to suit the lyrics and melody even better than the originals, some may not. However, my original intent of making these (besides the obvious "because I enjoy doing it") is to simply 1. show the possibility of different perspectives of interpreting a song and to 2. introduce beats and producers that I feel are worthy of more public acquaintances.
3. Despite the large number people who give me encouragements, I also get a lot of negative comments. I agree to some of them, I do not agree to some of them. However, please do not judge "InntimateSound" based solely on listening to one of my early works like this one alone. I am an avid learner, and I have been improving and evolving as a blender all along the road where I made 50+ blends for over two years. Sometimes even I get embarrassed when I listen to some of my early works, and maybe two years later I will be embarrassed at what I think is good today. However, I am not ashamed of the fact that I had weak spots in my past because 1. who doesnt? and 2. they are part of me as a growing musician. Furthermore I am proud and happy to be sharing this process of growth with listeners like you and even get some encouragements and appreciations along the way. Whatever the field, growth is where I place my values and I will continue to pursue it.
4. I want to thank you for caring enough to even leave comments on my page whether positive or negative. For more blends, please visit my channel: www.youtube.com/inntimatesound. Thank you!

i am well aware that the beats and lyrics don't match.
Beat: Who's Theme Off Samurai Champloo OST Impression. I'm not 100% sure if this beat was done by Nujabes because the album was described to be produced also by Force of Nature and Fat Jon.
Acapella: Nas - Book of Rhymes
Most of the talent and heart filled rappers are dead now.

@KryptonDaVillain To be honest, I don't think that Nas ever made this song with the attempt to "perform" it for you... He made it to simply put forth a scene of a man who tries to remember past memories (the book of rhymes), and the irony of the fact that he is unsatisfied with something that he, ulitmately, can't change (what he thought were good lyrics). If you don't like Nas as an artist, than that's okay... it's when you deny the fact that he has talent and skill that seems disrespectful.
