the original is my favorite and is also one of my favorite tracks off safe & sound.
not really, teddy pendergrass has been heavily sampled since the late 80's : the d.o.c., compton's most wanted, big daddy kane, N.O.T.S., mc lyte, seagram, south central cartel, master p, new breed of hustlas just to name a few sampled Teddy before Quik did...
Both versions are great, but I prefer the album version. The beat is one of the most perfect Quik productions, goes really well with the dedication to the dead homies. I remember when I first heard this song years ago, it really hit me, like damn, Quik is a real nigga and he had made the perfect musical expression of his realness.
