2Pac re-recorded the same verse over multiple beats to see what sounded best. And then he died so with all the rush of unreleased music. You could have 4 songssame verse different beat.

 

[teflandon]

Lloyd Banks
Cassidy
AR AB


Three that came to mind.

3-6 mafia has consistently done this throughout their career. not only do they recycle lyrics, they recycle entire songs, lol. all of their underground trackshave been re-made and remixed time & time again. tear the club up has about 3 or 4 different versions. they've remade break da law about 3 or 4 times.juicy j's 'slob on my knob' verse has been spit 2 or 3 times. i know its on the end: chap.2 on the song "what they do."

too many examples for me to sit down & compile...

they also re-mix and update old beats all the time. since they've picked up new fans who may not know about their underground origins, they get away withit.

i ain't knockin 'em either...i love 3-6.
