Does anyone here know which rapper, singer, and/or producer Tupac has recorded the most songs with? He had a lot of frequent collaborators, but I'd be interested to know which person holds the record for most songs recorded with Tupac.
Some candidates:
1. Stretch - if you count rapping and producing together, Stretch might be the man. I would guess that he produced around 50 songs for Tupac tracks, and of course he rapped alongside him on dozens of songs (some of which still remain unleaked, like the version of I Get Around with Stretch).
2. Johnny J - probably produced more Tupac tracks than anyone else.
3. EDI & Kadafi - they were rapping on songs with Pac from 1992 to 1996. Kastro was with them the whole time, but my impression is that he is not on as many songs as EDI and Kadafi. It might be the case that EDI has rapped alongside Pac on more tracks than any other rapper.
4. Big Syke - on many songs with Pac over the years, but probably not as many as EDI and/or Kadafi.
Anyone here have some figures? I suppose it would be tough to arrive at these figures, since they change as more songs are released. Also, this is only counting collaborations dating to Pac's lifetime, not posthumous songs.

Gonna take a guess that it's Kadafi or EDI

For sure E.D.I from Outlawz.

It's surprising to realize that E.D.I. has probably recorded more songs with Tupac than any other rapper/producer. I don't have the impression that Pac's relationship with EDI was especially intense, the way it was at times for Pac with Syke, 4Tay, Stretch, Ritchie Rich, etc. Probably the lack of intensity is why EDI is on the most Tupac songs: they just consistently remained on good terms and EDI was a reliable, responsible friend.

and E.D.I. was the 1 with idea of remixing 2pac ogs what a piece of shit and he married 2pac sister and calls himself edi the don lol

I always kind of assumed that after the success of "Changes" they kept chasing that hit and that's why they kept remixing songs, especially stuff like "Until the End of Time."
I've said it for years, but remix the shit as much as you want, but release the originals too. They need to release it, as is, in a giant box set to solidify his legacy the way artists like Jimi Hendrix and so forth are handled.

If so, smart decision, because those were great songs from great albums. Even "Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto" was remixed, and that was a great song from a great album.
...by the way, other than Big Syke, I still have trouble telling the Outlawz apart on record even after hearing them a million times.

Better Dayz had some mixes I'm not mad at at all. Still Ballin and Changed Man are fuckin fire (although I have removed Trick Daddy and T.I. from my versions). Even the When We Ride on Our Enemies Remix was pretty good (just being fair).
Until the End of Time, Ballad of a Dead Soulja, What'z Ya Phone # (Nu-Mixx), Dying 2 Live. There was actually a lot of really good mixes.
The problem is Amaru / Death Row insisted on making every damn project a double disc so they made a lot of filler tracks aswell. If Better Dayz was a single disc it would've been beautiful for Pac's legacy. For the sake of me not pissing myself off I won't even mention Loyal 2 the Game.

For sure. It's probably Stretch, Big Syke, and Richie Rich, in that order.

EDI is like Pacs version of Tony Yayo only...

...He played chess where Yayo played checkers.
