such a fucking shame if this is all true although i can't be surprised because Tha Realest was used on the Life Goes On clean version
I would definitely like to know which posthumous songs have vocals from Tha Realest on them. My guess is that a few of them probably have adlibs from him, and probably some others have him recording Pac verses where the vocals were defective in some way. Like in one of the versions of Playa Cardz Right, a few words are missing - wouldn't be surprised if Tha Realest filled them in on songs with similar omissions.If I had to guess one posthumous song that has vocals from Tha Realest on it, I would pick Changes. If you listen to the OG and you listen to the version on Greatest Hits, Pac's voice sounds very different. When the version on Greatest Hits was released, most people I know assumed it was a song from the Death Row era, not 1992, because Pac sounded older on the song. Of course, it might not be Tha Realest, it might just be some of the same voice alteration techniques used on Loyal to the Game. It would make sense if Changes features vocals from Tha Realest, since they used Realest in the video for Unconditional Love - another song released on Greatest Hits. Maybe there are also Realest vocals on the version of Troublesome 96 released on Greatest Hits.

Maybe there are also Realest vocals on the version of Troublesome 96 released on Greatest Hits. I think you're wrong on all counts, regarding the songs. It's been said that Playa Cardz Right in retail form may have originated from a different take or a different vocal layer of the track, for whatever reason. And like someone else said, while Greatest Hits was a joint project between Amaru and Death Row, Changes was more of an Amaru effort, while the other Death Row-era unreleased tracks were Death Row's efforts.With Realest having been on Death Row at some time, it's likely that his only vocal contributions were limited to additional layers on existing songs that ended up getting released on either Until the End of Time or Better Dayz.
U can be touched OG is clearly Tha Realest.
i doubt this
u can be touched is definitely not the realest... dont believe the lies...Quote from: Hack Brodenheimer on April 26, 2014, 11:23:32 AMi doubt thisme too! lol.. never heard of such a thing until today... all someone has to do is listen to the og to know that its pac lol..
Hey J-Mix, please play Darryl "Only Move 4 Money", and ask him his opinion on the lines "Three words to make a motherfucker's heart burst".

What he said was something along the lines of: This is the song that was suppose to stay unreleased. I was on the track and so was pac, this is the track i made together with pac, homie. We were just trying things out with the instrumental and vocals because the verse was intended to be for the homie Napoleon.That is what Yossy said. Is it true? I dont know. But I am reaching out to Tha realest for confirmation.
agree with most of what you said until the last part... there is no evidence that there has ever been any realest vocals on any retail pac song besides his adlibs from life goes on and that unreleased troublesome mix of him doing the same thing that could exist in full..... and i dont think amaru would have let that slide at the time...
if the realest was recording over pac tracks, then they havent leaked yet... but besides him doing clean edits for some pac songs i dont seen any reason for him to be needed on a track... unless he was a guest artist....

I'm not saying that it's proof, but it's not a new theory, and yeah, there are some adlibs toward the end of the song that do kind of sound like Realest.Amaru wouldn't KNOWINGLY let it slide, but it's not as if it couldn't have been slipped in under their noses, since they probably just get the finished product and either approve it or send it back, and it's not like Pac's mom is listening to each millisecond of audio, listening for imperfections (or impersonators). This is why you have some songs that had Death Row references taken out, coincidentally all remixed by Johnny J (as I doubt Amaru would go out of their way to remove those references only for certain songs, which is what Johnny J claimed but likely wasn't true), while other songs on the same project kept the Death Row references intact (i.e. All Out, Until the End of Time). So obviously you didn't have Amaru heads going through the songs and going, "Wait a minute, what words did they take out from that song?"Quote from: Craig Frazier on April 26, 2014, 09:25:17 AMif the realest was recording over pac tracks, then they havent leaked yet... but besides him doing clean edits for some pac songs i dont seen any reason for him to be needed on a track... unless he was a guest artist....Unfortunately I believe that this did happen. Look at the lyrics for They Wanna Be Like Us... it sounds too much like Pac that it's ridiculous. Even the content was pretty much about Pac's own life like he wrote it.
