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.
good ol' dj quick.
