Rick Clifford says treach requested that he act as tupac on the end of that song on chronic 2k
Quote from: Craig Frazier on April 26, 2014, 09:25:17 AMagree 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...Darryl Harper already said he knew for a fact that it had been done, and he could recognize it when he listens to them side-by-side, meaning the original versions (whether they're the ones that he has or the ones that leaked to the public, which likely don't have Realest on them since the majority of them hit the scene in 1997 before Realest was even recording as Realest and rapping with that style) to the remixed retail releases.The FIRST time it was suggested that Realest may have been adding vocals was on some older website (I think it was freetupac.com or something like that, whichever one was affiliated with hitemup.com/streethop.com), and Ballad of a Dead Souljah was the first song named. 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.

maybe i didnt read it but whats your take on you can be touched?
Hey J-Mix, ask Kurt Kobane this same question. He can name songs Realest re-recorded of 2Pac's.
I never saw "Fuck Dre" as an attempt for Realest to impersonate Pac. I think that line about "it was me" is being misread. What he's saying is if you did me like you did Snoop, I would whoop your ass for it.
JMix, you always come correct with your interviews. Have you ever thought about doing a book or something on Death Row? With all the great information that you have in these interviews, you could probably pen a really compelling book.
