i figured out you can't make it on beat without playing that song live from beginning to end.  you have to really know your shit.  i wonder if WA did that shit on purpose to get the people more involved in DeathRow lol.  I'm liking their PR choices, looks like they really know their shit.  Technically they didn't pay too much for the tapes.  It's just like buying/investing in a High Profile rapper for an album, something like what you'd give TI for a budget.  That's not really bad when you think about it.  It's probably why they ain't mastered correctly and crisp.

i can only drum it out on the table or somethin.  the way Snoop's vocals r r making the accapella have its own groove.  it'd be easier playing the guitar or instruments and the syththesizers and drum machine.

well i would say you doin something wrong... its possible... ill try to show you tomorrow
you can use the original bpm tempo and built a beat and then built the acapella around it.. cut the acapella in like 8 parts thats easier

I don't think it's impossible at all. It's like Adriano Dogg said, simply build the beat at the proper BPM and you should be good to go.

Even though Snoop and Dre speed their vocals up throughout the song, the drum pattern is consistent through the the original instrumental. You shouldn't have too much trouble if you start with the drums first, then add in the other instruments later.

I've been temped to try a remix for this track, but never get into it.

Maybe I'll attempt something tomorrow as well.

I made a mashup a couple months ago using the acapella. The BPM stays the same the whole way through the song, the problem is that it wasn't an even number. It was like 94.3 bpm's or something. I don't remember the exact amount off the top of my head, but that has to be the problem you are running into.

i just think when they recorded it, it was like a loose flow (if that makes sense) or Dre chopped up the different accapellas.  i have it on beat to the "immortal" drum loop but it still goes off and on at times like sometimes it'll be like a millisecond or two on or off.  the only mix i've heard that sounded good was the DeathRow GH remix by Daz, every1 else's shows a slight offness.
