“California Love [RMX]” Featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman Produced by Dr. Dre

Tommy D: fukkk it, I can say it: Dre really didn’t want nothing to do with that record. He didn’tlike it at all that 2pac came to Death Row, which I thought was kind of interesting, ’cause I remember he said, “That’s it, I’m done with Death Row now that 2pac is here.” I was like,
“What the fukkk!?” I mean, if you look at that album, he didn’t do shyt on “All Eyez On Me” except for “California Love,” which basically was, ughhh, that was going to be his single for Aftermath, right? And Suge heard that shyt and said, “fukk it,” and rushed up to Dre’s house and made him put 2pac on there. So basically he lost his first single for Aftermath, and it ended up being the first single for 2pac. Because the original version of that is three verses
with dre rapping on it. The only person who’s got that original version is DJ Jam, Snoop’s DJ. So basically Suge was like, “fukk it, we’re putting 2pac on that shyt, and this is going to be the single off the record…” that shyt was dope. Suge ain’t no dummy.


Damn this is always a mystery to me. Lot of times there are special people, like in this instance DJ Jam, who happen to have some super rare, never before heard songs in their collection yet they don't bother to somehow release them...

henceforth, we thug nikkas and we came in packs
every one of nikkas strapped sippin on 'yak

This whole Napoleon verse here goddaaaaamn

I'm reminiscing, and catchin flashbacks when nikkas ran up
In my house and I was too young, to try to blast back

What happend then? No one would tell me since I was three
Heard that God took my peoples, now they living somewhere free
But fukk that, you got what's mines and I want that
Never drop my guard, been on the squad, since ways back
And now I'm sitting, holding in anger because my parents missing
Thugging Immortal, got some war stories for you
