@00jeffhardy00 who was first pac with i aint mad at cha or blackstreet with dont leave?
@TheKrystalRock its cool, everyone makes mistakes
which song was made first?
@00jeffhardy00 yeah my bad, i dont know what i was thinkin
@TheKrystalRock no you said it isn’t from the same sample when it is
@00jeffhardy00 I think you meant to reply to StreetKarmah lol
@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
@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”.
@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.
@StreetKarmah word. which do you like better though? Pacs?
@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
@StreetKarmah it sounds similar but if i had to listen to one id choose this one. and this probably came out first too.
This is a sick beat. nice.
anyone know where i can d/l this song?
Classic……RIP Big L
@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.
dam I forgot about this song. this is back before I became a productive member of society. I am glad I am who I am,but every now and then these songs make me look back and smile
Great song. Great quality too. Better than the version I have in my iTunes. Props.
