Homeboy Runny-Ray here's a list of tributes, come tell us how he wasn't biting.
- Master P's song on Nothing To Lose soundtrack is titled "Hit Em Up"... identical title to the infamous 2Pac diss song!
-On Mack 10's "The Recipe" Compilation, Master P and Mystikal have a song called "Made nikkaz," just like the great 2Pac + Outlawz song on the "Gang Related Soundtrack." - MP Da Last Don- Master P's FAKE TUPAC ALBUM. - title "Da Last Don".. kind of like 2Pac's "Don Killuminati" -the song "Da Last Don" copies Master P copies the intro to 2Pac's "Me Against the World." Stupid Master P "A coward dies a million deaths but a soldier only dies once" instead of "a coward dies 1,000 deaths but a soldier dies but once." -"Dear Mr. President" song concept ABSOLUTELY stolen from the 2Pac + Outlawz "Letter to the President" song that was going around on bootlegs (now officially released on Still I Rise)... P gave NO CREDIT at all that he had copied this from an unreleased 2Pac song -"Mama Raised Me"- reminiscent of the Grammy nominated "Dear Mama" by 2Pac -"Black and White"- total rip off of Makaveli's "White Man'z World" -"War Wounds"- copy off of "Tradin War Stories" off of 2Pac's "All Eyez on Me" CD -On track 7, Master P says "Real nikkas Don't Die, They Multiply" which is just reworded Pac material, Pac often said "Thug nikkaz Don't Die, We Multiply." -etc, etc... almost every song on this joint is a rip off of a Tupac song... like Yukmouth said about No Limit in the song "Still Ballin" : : "stole every song you made/owe your mama some millions"
-Silkk the Shocker's song "Just be Straight With Me" uses the exact same sample as "Heavy in the Game" off of 2Pac's "Me Against the World"
-Silkk the Shocker's song "Thug 'N' Me" has the exact same title as Tupac's unreleased "Thug in Me", which coincidentally (YEAH RIGHT!) came out right around the time this album was being recorded.
-Silkk the Shocker's "You Aint Got to Lie to Kick it," comes out right after the release of "Lie to Kick It" off of 2Pac's "R U Still Down [Remember me]?" CD
-Master P made his own movie entitled "I Got the Hook-Up." Besides being virtually excrement under the guise of a film, the theme song had a chorus which went "I got the hook-up, holler if hear me." A coincidence that Master P told VIBE magazine that his favorite 2Pac song was "Holler if Ya Hear Me"? I gets to a point where tribute to a favorite artist crosses the boundary into straight up biting and robbery.
-On Snoop Doggy Dogg's first No Limit Records CD, Master P chose the title: "Da Game is to Be Sold, Not to be Sold." Besides being obnoxiously long, it is also what Tupac says in the beginning of one of his best songs "Str8 Ballin" off of Thug Life vol. 1. Some friend Snoop turned out to be. Also, the intro to this CD jacks the beat from Tupac's "Str8 Ballin" song (which Snoop told Rolling Stone was his favorite Tupac song) taking away any possibility that the album wasn't taken from that Tupac song.
-On Snoop Doggy Dogg's first No Limit Records CD, he has a song called "D.O.G.'s Get Lonely Too," in which he not only copies the title and concept of Tupac's "Thugs Get Lonely Too," but also does the song with Jon B, a white singer with who Tupac was the first rapper to work with. Big surprise that Master P came up with the song concept for Snoop!
-Again on Snoop's first No Limit he has a song which Master P wrote the chorus for entitled "Whatcha Gon Do?" which steals the chrous from the unreleased 2Pac and Storm song "Fright Night." I think it's 100% obvious (to anyone that's heard both songs) that Master P heard the Makaveli bootleg that the song is off of then wrote the chorus for Snoop. It's not just the same phrasing, it's done in identical tempo and rhyme patern.
-Now the most flagrant of all. On C-Murder's "Bossalinie" album, he has a song called "On Our Enemies." If any of you have heard 2Pac's countless Makaveli bootlegs, he has song called "When We Ride on Our Enemies" which is Tupac's diss to the Fugees, Da Brat, and many other rappers he hated. C-Murder dedicates his version to 2Pac but he just changes the lyrics slightly, for instance when Pac says "outlawz," C-murder will change it to "soldiers," etc. C-murder does not mention that is ALMOST word for word Tupac's song and writing skill or the fact that the production is copied off of the original Death Row Records production. 2Pac's friends such as the Outlawz, Tha Realest and Suge Knight have all been infuriated at this. When I first heard it, I thought I was going to be nauseous.
-C-Murder also has a song on the "Bossalinie" CD called "Livin' Legend." Funniest thing, I never heard No Limit talk about being living legends until 2Pac said it in "No More Pain" off of Shakur's 1996 CD.
- On TRU's album "Da Crime Family," C-Murder has a song called "Hail Mary," as many major magazines and rap fans have noted: this is the title and song concept from Makaveli's album.
and the one song that actually was, is a song that was already more popular than most of pac's officially released joints.
You know what, you are right, I remember that..I think you deserve some rep
man, it's a lot of dumb shyt, nitpicking and nikkas showing they only know what they're talking about from internet history in here.
