hahninator Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Great post, can't wait to download these. What a find! And thanks for sharing not really check Slip, its dated at 1998 even though its a Hybrid Theory demo thanks mate we indeed made a great discovery Mike's incorrect statements about the LP 1998 vs 1999 time are well documented. This is why the demos are mislabeled. Chester even confirmed in the NRG interview last month it was 1999. It's a fact that he joined in 1999, not 1998. There is a boat load of evidence for this; I'm surprised it's still being disputed.

LPPanther Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Actually according to Almamu's scans, the full track name is "F/007 Fiends". Thanks so much to everyone involved in finding these tracks! As the one who discovered these songs (i posted the original thread)https://www.reddit.com/r/LinkinPark/comments/5xb1t1/urban_networks_rapology/here is some more info about the tracks:https://www.discogs.com/Various-Urban-Networks-Rapology-13/release/9521613https://www.discogs.com/fr/Various-Rapology-14/release/9622841I first found them at discogs, if you click on artist the links will lead you to Xero's and Mike Shinoda's pages, further more both collections credit Mike Shinoda as the graphic designer.also the songs are about 1997-98 even though there is no info of it, thats my belief due to the fact that Rapology 16 was released at 1999 and since Chester joined at 1998-99 (its not sure, at interviews they say 99 but they have released some Hybrid Theory demos at LPU's that are from 1998) these demos should have been released at about 97-98.*Note: Xero's song is called "Fiends" not "Friends".

mariotormo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) AMAZING FIND! Woha, I'm really enjoying this tracks so much! Someone worked already on a lyrics transcrypt? BTW Fiends sounds A LOT like It's going down, I wouldn't be surprised if Mike reelaborated the work of this track and ended up writing It's going down, wich I love. Of course this is way better than LPU 16 Edited March 10, 2017 by mariotormo Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12588-download-xero-tracks-fiends-and-drop/page/2/#findComment-271822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else thinks that "F/007" means "Feat. 007"? Some people at lpa think the same but the CD coves look a bit different that other songs. As in, artists names use a bigger font that the song name, and in the case of xero song the f/700 is in a smaller font, just like the other song names. Guess someone might need to confirm that from an appropriate source maybe?

lpliveusername Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 For those who don't know, 007 was Styles Of Beyond's manager. He was best friends with Mike and introduced him to Ryu. Another question: The back of the CD says "F/007 Fiends CD Rap Up". I understand "CD rap up" is a play of words with "CD wrap up", but shouldn't we include that in the title of the track since it's in the tracklist?

hahninator Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Artofficial I bet is Joe since Joe scratches on the track and Mike mentions him. 007 is the SOB manager - my guess. Not sure on backing vocals. Who doubles the vocal on Drop? (That's ridiculous!) line.

RentEznor Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If only the band could actually release some kind of compilation of rare & unreleased songs, THAT would be very appreciated by the hardcore fanbase, I don't get why they don't do that.

I love the rawness and Mike's early flow here.I do think they should make releases of this kind of songs. I really like these two demos because of how raw mike sounds, still powerfull and showing the best he does, rapping like there is no tomorrow. I do hope to see some more demos of this years released in the following months, I'll keep an eye for any opportunity I see to purchase and dump them for the community. Really cool find!

lpliveusername Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Because of how Drop starts ("Hi, we're back. Kenji, Artofficial. Rapology 13."), I think they might have been featured in the Rapology series before. We should probably look for volume 12 and see if there's another Xero track. The tracklist says "Kenji & Artofficial (of Xero)", so I think it's safe to say both artists were Xero members, hence Mike & Joe. Derek said Mike used to make songs with Styles Of Beyond under the name Junkyard Scientific. We should probably look for any release with that name too.
