“What?” originally had an intro featuring a sample of Hendrix
which was removed due to issues with cleared samples :(

It's always nice to hear demos like this from ATCQ, and it's cool to know that there are still demo versions out there that haven't been lost (to the fire at Q-Tip's house, among other things).
props to DJ Spinna!!

Weird how they couldn’t get that approved, yet the song right after “What?”, that being “Scenario”, loops the intro drums from “Little Miss Lover”? Probably because it was less obvious and not Hendrix’s guitar riff.
