"inspired" makes it sound friendly lolThat's what I meant. At the very least he heard I Ain't Mad At Cha and decided he wanted to flip it for the Blackstreet album, not on some revenge shit. I Ain't Mad At Cha wasn't a single until right before Pac died so he might not have thought it would be a big deal to use the same sample.
Your Teddy Riley apologist tone is quite strange. Consider Riley took that beat when offered it by Dre even though he knew Pac had spit on it before and if he didn't he certainly did once the Toss It Up promo vinyl dropped one month before Makaveli. It's also quite strange how you can't appear to put together the pieces of how he'd Jack Pacs beat in return for him doing the same. Simple question:What age were you in 96?
Me and Sccit were talking about the whole situation with those songs and he send a link for this hread. We were talking about toss it up because I’m recording over the beat and I’m using the OG lolAny way I think the reason nobody sued was both pac and black street were sighed to interscope. I still think if pac was alive he was going after them and he kinda say that on the actual song like you were not quick enough to release it
I recall (my memory may not be 100% correct), that I think Jimmy Iovine or someone from Interscope were having a meeting with Suge (and I think some artists/producers were present) and I think they had the No Diggity track on a sampler trying and played it to Suge to get his opinion.After Jimmy left, Suge told the producers who were present and heard the track to reproduce it/jack it from as best they could from their memory.2Pac made the original version, it got back to Jimmy/Interscope and put a block on the original version then 2Pac/Death Row were forced to remix it (the released version).Blackstreet's Another Level album (which contains No Diggity) was released on Interscope, so this would make sense.I can't remember which interview I heard this from but i'm sure it was one of Art's interviews from one of the Makaveli producers.EDIT:I found this J-Felxx interview (go to 6min):This is of interest:I'm still trying to find the makaveli producer talking about hearing No Diggity and ripping it off for Toss it up
I can' see why it couldn't be remade from memory, the No Diggity beat is really basic - the beat is the first few seconds of Bill Wither's 'Grandma's Hands' and looped.I found Danny Boy saying this (check from 43min:40sec), where he briefly speaks on it:I'm still trying to find the interview where the guy says that the heard the No Diggit and tried to remake it from memory
