BIG sampled Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre on Ready To Die, neither Suge Knight, Snoop or Dre refused him permission to use the track, it should be noted that at thattime Suge soley owned those masters, so the samples are legally cleared, and have been since Ready To Die's release date of Sept 13, 1994, it oddly sharesits anniversary with the date of 2Pac's death in 1996.
April 3rd 1995 is when "Who Shot Ya" was released as a B Side to "Big Poppa", the single went platinum. Some unknown sources say the trackwas orginally suppose to appear on Mary J Blige's debut album What's The 411, but it was deemed to violent for a R&B album (no known reference ofthis theory tho), Keith Murray is said to have received the track after it was turned down for the Mary J album. Who knows, it sounds kind of far out, but whoknows . . . Someone dig up a Keith Murray interview.
To this day the date it was "recorded" has been said to be in either 93 or 94, if you listen to BIGs voice on Ready To Die, his voice was more calmon the songs he shouted out 94, ('Warning", "Respect", "Big Poppa", "Machine Gun Funk", "The What","Juicy") on the songs where he shouts out 93 ("Gimmie The Loot", "Things Done Changed", "Ready To Die", ) he seems tohave a louder tone that he rapped with. However, "Juicy" & "Respect" are both in that same high pitched tone, but include adlibs thatshout out 94.
What can't be refuted is "9-5" is shouted out throughout the song, Puffy shouts out both the east coast and west coast . . . At the end of thesong Big is talkin *$@+, and eventually 6 shots are heard . . . There may be significance there being Pac was shot 5 times, not exactly sure how many times hismanager was and or who operated on him and at what medical facility in NY. Pac was shot in Times Square and operated on at Bellvue, his surgeons name has beenmade public and he has been interviewed, I have yet to see a statement released on his former managers behalf, but I will say at the time of his death he wasmanaged by a different individual.
For one reason or another, a year is shouted on almost every song by either BIG or Puff during verses and or adlibs . . . They seemed to be obsessed withshoutin out the year in which they were recording a song, it probabaly holds little to no significance outside of BIG's voice being noticbly different oncertain tracks on both Ready To Die & Life After Death.
Waddup EZFlash, I remember someone posting that thread about Nas hearing the news . . . I didn't watch the videos, but do you think it was the SAME redleather get up from the 96 MTV VMAs if so Nas really is NASTY, rockin the same outfit 2 times in 8 or 9 days
That's all for now . . . Gotta take a small chronic break, see what I can dig up in these old magazines, dvds, and songs
