Yeah I was surprised too. He's been making beats for YEARS! I think he started out when Bad Boy was first around making beats for Craig Mack and Biggie, but then changed his name around 2003 and has been mainly working with G-Unit. I don't know why he changed his name though. Maybe he didn't want to be affiliated with Diddy and get pigeonholed into having a "certain sound". That's my best guess.

Either there are two versions because the one on 2Pac's Greatest Hits album is listed as "Troublesome '96" whereas the one above is just "Troublesome" or there are production discrepancies between the two. I know on Scarface's Greatest Hits album his production credits are different from the production credits listed on the original albums he takes his songs from. Maybe this is the same thing.

You know that thought actually crossed my mind too because they spell it the same way and they're both on the west coast. I'm cant' say for sure though.

I don't know what the deal is either. I know this is off the cassette tape. Unfortunately I don't have it anymore. I'm gonna see if I can find a version to verify what's listed. The version you posted looks very legit though.

I've searched countless time for that Made Men song (still haven't found it, but I satisfied my needs with a youtube rip lol) and it was always on the tracklist for the LP/cassette version of the album, not the CD.Every CD version of the album I've seen on the net has the same tracklisting Shady posted.So yeah, I suppose there are 2 versions of the soundtrack
