The album also contained the song 'We Will Survive', a tribute to Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. The 'Nas Is Like' music video was directed by Nick Quested and is still very popular in underground circles and continued a long list of popular Nas/DJ Premier collaborations. The song had a version of the O Fortuna from Carl Orff's ' Carmina Burana.' 'Nas Is Like' is one of two tracks produced by DJ Premier who scratches vocal samples from Nas' ' It Ain't Hard To Tell' into the chorus. It was a Billboard Hot 100 hit, and had a controversial music video directed by Hype Williams. 'Hate Me Now' features Puff Daddy and is produced by D-Moet, Pretty Boy and The Trackmasters. Other leaked songs include Find Ya Wealth (later on QB's Finest), U Gotta Love It (later on The Lost Tapes), My Worst Enemy, Amongst Kings and The Rise & Fall. Wanna Play (later on Dame Grease's 'Live on Lenox' The Album) Drunk by Myself (later on The Lost Tapes) Knockboots (Do's and Don't) (later on I Am.) Poppa Was a Player (later on The Lost Tapes) Fetus (Belly Button Window) (later on The Lost Tapes) Although several bootleg versions have appeared on the internet over the years, an official version of the intended double album has never leaked and it remains unclear whether or not it was ever completed. The concept of this album as can be seen by tracks such as 'Fetus' from The Lost Tapes was to be an autobiography of sorts for Nas. Some of the leaked songs were later released on the compilation LP The Lost Tapes in 2002. I Am.became one of the first major label releases to be widely leaked using MP3 technology. This album was originally to have been a double album titled I Am.The Autobiography, however most of the original sessions were bootlegged forcing Nas to discard many songs and adjust the release to one disc.
