Title: Why wasn't the original version of California Love on All Eyes on Me?
Post by: Juronimo on December 07, 2005, 08:09:47 PM
I remember when I bought this album on tape way back in '96 and I was somewhat disappointed that the original version of California Love wasn't on there. Why did they put the remix on there instead? Also does anyone remember the video for the remix? The remix video was better than the original video I thought. E40 was all up in the video.

I wonder if anyone knows the story as to why the remix and not the original was put on the album.

it was released on the how do u want it single..

i think they seperated it from the album to sell more copies of the single which they did.. i think the single went 2xplatinum

the remix is way better.  the remix is like 10x better.  and the main thing that sold "how do you want it" is "hit em up". there is a cali love cd single, maybe that has the full version

i got an older rip and theres the original cali love on it (but i guess it was the radio edit)
on my copy there is just the remix maybe cause its the "digital remastered" one. let me
look for that cali love single. i got that somewhere (the white label one).

I heard the full length OG once, on Tim Westwood's show about a month before the album was released. Still got it taped somewhere - it's easily the dopest version.

The accapella talkbox bit at the end was different - Roger was harmonsing with his own adlibs underneath by kinda humming this new bassline... can't really explain it but it was crazy... Ever since I've wondered how to ever get that version. I've got the 12" promo from before AEOM came out and it wasn't on there...

Man I'm an idiot. All the time they played the video for california love I never noticed the difference between the beat for the video and the remix. ;D

BTW, I lke both the original and remix, but the original alot more. Good question. Why they didn't place the original on the album?

I like the remix a lot better.......but I could have sworn that the remix video came out before the OG vid.....cause it was like they were throwing a party for Pac being out on bail.  I don't remember seeing or hearing the OG version till months later.
