2 legends on the same track. More of a Guru fan myself, but appreciate the all styles especially when they come together for a solid collaboration.

It seems this is just a remix or something else, not too sure though...

It seems to just be 'Work' and then Big L's verse was added at the end? Not too sure if it is a collab...

Comparing both:
