New Music: Strong Arm Steady x Kobe “Talking To Myself”

Turns out there is an original version to track two off Eminem’s Recovery which was recorded by Strong Arm Steady back in 2007. We’ll let Krondon tell the story:

We recorded this record in August of 07 and turned it in to our formal label Warner Bros in October ( hence the A & R, Naim, is listed at the top ). If you look at the sequence you will see that it was #2 in our original tracklist. A cool fact, it ended up being the second song on the 10 time Grammy Nominated Eminem LP Recovery. I told Khalil this was a hit 5 years ago and it served to be one. Here goes our version (minus Mitchy Slick), we had planned to get Luda on this joint….Enjoy – Arms & Hammers 2.22.11

    Crooked I version > SAS and Em’s version

  7. jtite says:

    So SAS had Kanye’s The Joy and Em’s Talking to Myself first? Hope that A&R got fired.

  8. wtflol says:

    This song is Kobe’s and Khalil’s. Nobody made this song but Kobe and the beat. Em did better on this.

  9. nicki says:

  18. Yooo says:

    I like SAS but Em’s version is wayyyy better lyrically, flow-wise and content-wise

  19. Africa says:

    Eminem Version >>><

  20. TheFacE says:

    @everyone who think eminem stole the beat, he didnt. Kobe posted on his twitter that he and Khalil didnt give anyone permission to use the beat. They sent it out trying to sell it and people recorded over it cause its a hot track. But they never got paid or contacted about someone using Talkin To Myself. The only person who paid them was Eminem, nobody else. And it was passed around to people they didnt even want to have it. They knew it was hot so they didnt want some lol budget rappers using the track when they knew they could sell it to someone where they could actually make some cash. AKA EMINEM. Check your faqs rapradar before you sound stupid. O and if someone spits over the track, first, second or third and uses the beat but does not pay the person who owns the rights to the track, then they didnt own the track and the beat therfore cannot be the “original version”. Eminem was the only one who paid for it and Eminem was and is the original version!

  21. Belize says:

    Dope! Interesting how that came to be… I think Em did more with it but this is by no means bad. Nice post!

  22. HatesStans says:

    @TheFace everything you said is a godamn lie son. Khalil has done, i dunno, like 30 tracks with SAS. You sound like the dude Em had in mind when he made Stan. So obsessed youre delusional.

  23. Loch says:

    it’s crazy how the right flow and lyrics can change the whole tone of a song.SAS is cool but,Em took it a whole other place and his melodies on the bridge was a nice touch.SAS be doing their thing though.They pretty popular in LA.
