2pac's "I ain't mad atcha" and Blackstreet's "Don't Leave Me"

[Tanjential]

I can't find the latter but I remember them having the same music. anyone have the story on this?

-T

[D Breezy]

yup, 2 producers liked the same sample and used it Lol

[Tanjential]

Hah,
 
well I know Dre was involved with Death Row and Black street around this time...was wondering if the producer was the same. Was noticing the close time proximity in which they were released.

Who knows. Its Death Row. For all we know it could be a coincidence that 2 producers sampled that piano cord, or it could be daz reproduced an unreleased dre beat, hell dre might have even produced it and suge couldve assigned daz the credit.

[Enigma]

I have a feeling it was more than a coincidence. That was two different songs by Blackstreet and 2Pac released within 6 months of eachother that had the same melody.

Don't forget "Toss It Up" and "No Diggity" also had the same melody and the same singing ad-libs (ey-yo-ey yo-ey yo-ey yo)

Both great, great, beautiful, classic songs!  Nice to hear the OG.

I think the story behind it is that Teddy Riley probably heard the Pac song since Pac's song was released first.  Teddy then probably remembered the OG song that Daz sampled and thought to himself... "Shit, that sample is incredible, and it is so melodic, I bet that would sound great on an R&B track for my group Blackstreet"

Both sampled DeBarge's "A Dream" (fucking tight song, BTW), however, for the single version of I Ain't Mad At Cha, the sample was removed and instead replayed by musicians (interpolation). It actually sounded better in the single version, IMO.

[K.Dub]

Nice Blackstreet track.

i've always preferred the single version too.

however i don't think there's a link between the two songs. the way both songs sampled debarge's a dream is quite different, it's not like both songs sound like exactly the same...

word.. the video version was better.  I also like the "rose through the cracks of concrete" verse he added at the end of the video version

teddy riley also produced "these days" for nate dogg. and i heard he ghost produced other songs for DR as well...
when thinking about it now i could really imagine that he gave the idea for "i aint mad at cha"! and we all know that dj quik finished that track, rerecorded some instruments etc.. totally makes sense to me. i always knew that daz didnt produce that piece of music!
