Its sampled in the song "Ready To Die".  And I'm pretty sure it's legit.  It was pretty common back in the day to sample a song and never credit it.

this shit is WACK by the way..... i cant believe it... its like going back and saying something like "Thriller" cant be sold.... just classic

Well if Rod Temperton came out and said Quincy or Sony never opaid for the rights to the song Thriller and Temperton owned it then the album could be pulled off the shelves. (Of course Rod Temperton did sign over the rights if he ever had them to begin with and there is no problem but I'm just saying in theory).

If you check the tank you section at the back of Read To Die you'll see a nice big thank you to Tupac Shakur. New York New York hadn't dropped yet, I don't think. I'm pretty sure the beef hadn't started yet, if memory serves me right.
