. . in the retail version?



Completely different song, they definitely made more a single out of it but at the risk of losing some of his deepest content. It's clear to see he was really lacing a message of profound thought into that song

Afeni butchered his music. Its pretty sad.

look at the original when thugz cry. One of his best hooks ever and it really brought home the message of the song. Then they axed the chorus and replaced it with some shytty no name singer. Ruined the song completely.

dont even get me started on taking the original features off and replacing them.

While I think the remake with the Elton John sample is good, the OG version is in my Top 10 2Pac songs of all time.

Most of Pac's originals contained samples. Normally, any artist would be more than happy to have their music sampled on a album that would probably go platinum. But since hes dead, the artist are going to want more money to use their sample. Plus, the producers who produced the song would probably want more money to have their composition released.

Afeni didn't produce that track on Loyal To The Game.
Eminem did.

He asks the listener to think about what a pervert is thinking about when he uses a curse word.

She allowed it to be done. She wanted all his songs remixed and with current trendy features. I cant fault eminem or anyone else they just sprung at the chance to work with 2pacs material.

the original in all its glory is a great song and rivals his other positive uplifting songs! Another dope left over joint along with dope fiends diner!!

with the remixed releases of these joints pissed me off as certain words were censored especially anything islamic in them. What a contradiction!!
