Okay, now this is really getting confusing cause Danny Boy wasn't on the other one they claimed was "original" nor was Bad-Azz

I think they're claiming that moaning noise in the background is Danny Boy.  IDK.  I've had a similar version of this for years.  This sounds more like an unmixed version that's missing a few layers moreso than a full fledged OG version of the song. 

Unfortunately, this is what the 2pac scene has become, just the same songs leaked over and over with very slight improvements in quality or slightly different mixes.  I miss the days when completely unheard songs with unheard vocals would drop.  I know there's still some of that out there, but they're locked down pretty tight now.

I say this with a stern face. You are right, but the thing is - there's more unheards than people know of. Mostly on the unconfirmed songs list. What we should've never done is hacked G-Litt and Dante and we'd still be getting new music.

So do you think it’s a legit o.g?

Do think the Bad-Azz version is a more legit o.g.?

Who do you think was in the studio with Pac, Nutso or Bad Azz?

And which beat do you think is the o.g beat?

So you think some of this shit they are claiming to be o.g is actually remixes?

Cause it did seem off to me that the bad Azz version was the one on all those early Pac bootlegs, so to me this could be something remixed

Nah, they didn't have much, a few CDs worth taken from Death Row back in the day.  There are much bigger players in the game now.  People that had a direct line to Shock G and other close people in Pac's life that have the good stuff. 

The unconfirmed song list is bogus man, stop referring to it as if it's some authority on unreleased music and those songs are actually out there, because the majority are completely made up.

The true OG is this song. Now there are several different iterations of this song, with slightly different instrumentation and layers and such, but same vocals.  Just different incomplete versions as it went through the development and mixing process.

The song with Bad Azz is just like the original post said.  This version with Nuttso was made and ended up being scrapped so Pac sold the verse to Bad Azz to be used for his album, Word On Tha Streetz.  As his album was nearing completion, Pac died and everything became a mess so Bad Azz ended up not being able to release the song.  So no, Pac never recorded to that particular instrumental that Bad Azz ended up using, so it was a remix in a sense, but an authorized remix and Pac knew about it.  That kind of stuff happens all the time in the industry and if Pac would've never been shot, the version with Bad Azz is the one and only that would have been out there and that version with Nuttso would have been lost to time forever.

Then how come it was the Bad Azz version we found on bootlegs as far back as 98’ and this Nutso version only now?

I may be wrong but I feel like the Bad Azz and Pac version is the o.g and this is a recent remix scam calling it the o.g

Because the Bad Azz version leaked from his camp, it wasn’t under the Death Row umbrella. After Pac died, the Death Row stuff tightened up fast, songs 2Pac had that were in possession of other studios leaked easier.

Also if you remember the original leak was edited and some people edited and reversed the lyrics but it was years before a true unedited version leaked. It’s because the original track came from a radio promo leaked by Bad Azz’s label.

The Bad Azz version it's the Ant Banks official remix
