wasn't the first actual recorded version of this song with q-tip?

I know in the Voodoo booklet it says Q-Tip did the vocal percussion, but wasn't there a version without Red & Meth, and only with Q-Tip?

That's what the article ?uest wrote about it at the time seemed to suggest. Didn't it say that his verse was removed because it wasn't good enough?

Yeah, I think so. If I remember correctly. Did ?uest ever post the version with Q-tip on it, on here?

no idea, sorry

Tip wasn't removed because his verse wasn't good enough, but because Meth & Red complimented the grimyness of the song. Apparantly the idea for the song was concocted by D and Tip, but D's then manager argued for the rappers to be more commercial. Meth & Red were hot at the time, so they went with them.

As far as I know, the Q Tip version is yet to leak. I would love to hear it tho!

Peace

Oh ok, yeah I thought I remembered hearing something like that before. I wish the version with Tip would get releasesd.
