How did you come up with this theory
Whenever asked Havoc always says that he "can't remember" the details of making this beat
Just Blaze asked Havoc to recreate the beat on his Netflix special. Hav said he couldn't remember.
Just remade the beat from memory
The sample was a mystery for so long because Hav said he didn't remember the sample
Lastly, Tip was around for the making of the entire Infamous album
Tip was their guardian angel for that album. He supervised it because he wanted it to sound right.
He produced one track, "co-produced" two tracks, and mixed five tracks
Most of the samples on the Infamous album are jazz samples including Shook Ones, which was what Tip was known for
Around that time Tip was branching out into outside production for Apache, Crooklyn Dodgers, Rah Digga, and others
I could be wrong but I doubt it
