This mixtape was released by Mega himself and was released at the end of 2000, not 2001. In the intro Nas mentions the Rawkus deal. Mega only put out one 12'' on this label ('You Don't Want It bw Take Mine'), also released in 2000. The beef with Nas started all over again when Nas accused Mega of stealing his chain on the video set of the 'The Bridge 2001'.

Is the one on eBay legit? https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Dream-Team-Best-of-Cormega-The-Montana-Way-CLASSIC-NYC-MIXTAPE-CASSETTE-Tape/152961764146Is it an original? Some kind of reissue or a copy. I asked the guy, but he won't answer directly.

So he released Montana Way, this, and Hustler/Rapper as mixtapes? I heard the song Poetry several years ago and never heard it again until now and saw it was on the latter mixtape, before that I never knew he had done any mixtapes at all.

Really hard to find gem. Personally I prefer the 'Montana Way' mixtape that the Dream Team (Hotday Jae Supreme) put out in '97.Seen that one being sold on Ebay about a year ago.

How hard is this to come across? I wouldnt mind picking this up!!
