is it just me or did he suggest that Pac didn't write his verse for the song? That Dre/J Flexx wrote Pac's verse?
-
lol @ Dre writing for 2pac
-
There are a million different versions about that song.
-
J-Flexx wrote the whole thing
-
J-Flexx wrote the whole thing

J-Flexx wrote the whole thing
i dont think j-flexx wrote pacīs verse but i might be wrong.
-
There's no way anyone but Pac wrote Pacs verse
-
Dre said that Pac wrote his (Pac's) own verse.
-
Dre said that Pac wrote his (Pac's) own verse.
dre also said he did the 'got my mind made up' beat... nah I'm just jokin' I know pac wrote his own verse.
-
Yeah, plus we've already seen handwritten lyrics of another verse that Pac wrote for the song that ended up getting scrapped... plus Pac's verse sounds 0% like anything Flexx had ever written.
Suge's quote was just taken out of context, he obviously didn't mean to say that Dre wrote Pac's lyrics, he just probably intended to say that Dre put the song together and recorded it for Pac rather than that he wrote it.
-
He didnt say j flexx wrote 2pac verses. he said he wrote the song for dr dre. he wrote dre verses & pac came & wrote his own verse. 2pac just didnt write the song
-
2Pac wrote several verses for this song, himself. J-Flexx wrote the solo version for the Brand New Funk compilation.
-
can't imagine Pac not writing his own verses
-
A writing machine. They say he didn't even pause for thought. He wrote some of the Outlawz verses too as well as entire songs for DPG, Danny Boy & Hammer.
I can picture this being the monthly death row stationary supply:

Plus there's the speculation that This Ain't Livin was meant for Snoop, given the style and wording (i.e. referring to himself as "Snoop Dogg" while addressing "Pac," emphasis on "see/C," saying "You knowwww" like Snoop, saying "step in blue"). So maybe add him to the list too.

I doubt that song written for snoop but, what I do find interesting is that the beats qdIII did for pac was meant for snoop.

If Pac had lived Snoop might have 100x the legacy he does now

possible. I'm also amazed that pac and snoop didn't do an album together they had great chemistry.

I get the feeling the DPG camp was too guarded to make real art like that. Snoop would feel too inadequate to just be the adlib guy on every record lol
-
im sure dre figured too it was good to put 2pac on the song, no matter what suge says
-
Dr Dre actually liked 2Pac, what he didn't like was the 'drama' surrounding him and with Death Row already having internal issues, he saw his label slipping away from what he was more inclined towards "pop gangsta rap" but I could not see Dre being too concerned about adding 2Pac to a song, or giving him a few tracks. He worked from home anyway.
What you have to remember is that when your name is on the files as a co-owner and you're a limited liability company, any drama that comes to the label is going to cost the label money, which is essentially "your" money, and your profitability. It's the difference between you being able to put a deposit down for that 2nd holiday home, or paying immediate legal fee's for a man who hasn't even generated any income for the label to justify it and has already cost your label 700K before anything is even started to BAIL him out of jail. From a business perspective (and I know there's a guy on here.... Deeeznuuuts?? or someone with business acumen) who willo understand

pac wrote his verse
-
'This ain't living' was intended for Snoop, it was a reference track.
