Author Topic: Beat that started DJ Quik/Suga Free beef (Read 792 times)

So, I was going through all the classic Rappin 4-Tay material again (daym, Off Parole was tight!) when I stumbled upon "If It Wasn't 4 U" from the Gangsta Gumbo record (2003).

The track features Nate Dogg and Suga Free and was produced by DJ Quik

I remember reading that Free sold it to 4-Tay for 2500$ without the permission of Quik - who was double pissed because he said the beat wasn't finished.

Apparently this is what started the infamous beef. Nice little fun-fact as a warm up for Midnight Life - good to see Quik n Free back together though

I was under the impression that the track was "Inside Out" which Free used. Quik mentioned that his singing of the chorus was supposed to be a temp. track while he looked for the right singer to get on there and he was furious that it was released in the way that it was.

Suga Free must have been hurting for cash. Pimpin ain't easy.

they couldnt clear the sample from steve arington of slave..so it was put in the vault..but it leaked...which was incomplete...suga ended jus puttin out the full version..
