First one we all know about that ended up on all eyez on me .... "Got my mind made up" ... he fukked it up by taking decks verse out

Then there was this classic



Dogg Pound and Nas ?! wow ...

This track shytted all over the Pac version, you can tell from the intro of the Nas version that the only reason they didnt go with this version was cos Pac and Suge put it on them.

The Pac version of this tune was wack ... Nas killed that shyt,



The Pac version was of course mixed better but Nas killed that way harder and you can tell DPG really took that Nas feature seriously.

What's the story of why Deck's verse was taken off?

I went the entire late 90s and 2000s wondering why tf INS the Rebel chimes in at the end of the song for no apparent reason...

The Nas version is better :ehh:

But Mind made up is a classic and already has 4 fukking features… its already 5 minutes long.

Also sometimes keeping the features as just big name stars adds to the iconicism. You had to have Daz n Kurupt on it, but adding only Red n Meth is better than adding them AND Deck. Woulda been overkill and took away from the moment.

Plus the cherry on the top is the tease pause of Deck’s adlibs :ahh: So yea you all wrong on that one

I would've threw that Daz verse in the bushes and put Deck's verse on instead. That was a bad call from Pac cause that Daz verse isn't wack but its definitely forgettable and weak compared to Deck's verse.

I always wondered how these 2 tracks would fit on Dogg Food since they were both originally recorded for the album but got cut. That album is already classic as it how would having those tracks on there fit the mood.

Don't stop wasn't even released until 2001 or 2002, how did 2pac ruin a song that nobody released in his life time?
