Rikishi's "Bad Man"

[Tino]

I have a question.

Rikishi's "Bad Man". There's two versions on YouTube, the one from Volume 5/Hall Of Fame 2012, and the arena version, which Xylot doesn't have any album info listed. So, this 1st link has the song listed as being on the Anthology Attitude Era album, and the link from Anthology sounds like its totally not the version from Volume 5. Has that always been there and I'm just now seeing it? When I picked up the physical album in the 2000's, I could've sworn the song was the volume 5 version, obviously shortened, unless I'm mistaken..it was a long ass time ago. Has that always been there?Or was 3 years ago when they updated it and nobody had a clue that it was updated? So confused.

The Vol. 5 and Anthology versions have always been different.

[Tino]

Wait, really? So, wait, is the Anthology track the actual arena version?

[Chris]

Nope. I think the Anthology version is closer than the Vol. 5 version, but neither is the arena version. The arena version appears in the RAW game for the Xbox.

Here's the track from that game from GodzFire's collection posted last year: https://mega.nz/folder/Md4DlL7L#yVDGv8Q ... e/YZwUnaRL

Fuck. I knew I had shit confused. That's what happens when you have one good ear. Thank you for the clarification, Chris.

You're welcome!

Yeah, the video game rip is the arena-used one.
Vol 5 is remixed with an additional verse.

What’s confusing is that Anthology is actually a combination of the two, edited together at different points. If you listen closely, you can hear when it transitions back and forth from the arena version to the slight Vol 5 remix.
