00jeffhardy00 says
@TheKrystalRock no you said it isn’t from the same sample when it is
TheKrystalRock says
@00jeffhardy00 I think you meant to reply to StreetKarmah lol
00jeffhardy00 says
@TheKrystalRock haha i hope your being sarcastic, this isn’t the i aint mad at cha instrumental but its from the same sample obviously, just different tempo and not as much production as tupac version
Harmon302 says
@StreetKarmah indeed. however cotc reminds me of the pharcyde. if your into sick lyrics id check them out. they gotta be one of my favorite rap “groups”.
StreetKarmah says
@Harmon302
hmmm, tupac’s, but because I personally relate to the song, I got the acapella for this song tho’ and it contains pretty good material to mix, specially Big L’s part.
Harmon302 says
@StreetKarmah word. which do you like better though? Pacs?
StreetKarmah says
@Harmon302
Tupac’s song came out in february 96′, this song must’ve come out like 1 or 2 years after that, I’m pretty sure, looks like they made a “cheaper” version of the beat tupac used, or they could’ve sampled the same shit tupac sampled, the difference being tupac’s producer for that track possibly “created” the beat inspired by the sample, but who knows, still the track is good
Harmon302 says
@StreetKarmah it sounds similar but if i had to listen to one id choose this one. and this probably came out first too.
dgurevich5 says

icons712 says

@StreetKarmah
The original song was “A Dream” by DeBarge (produced by El DeBarge).
2pac was the first to use this sample in his song “I Aint Mad at Cha” (produced by Daz Dillinger, from Tha Doggpound).
Blackstreet released their song “Don’t Leave Me” a month later (produced by Teddy Riley).
Wikipedia FTW.
