Chronic 2 sessions facts -California love (ghost writer version) - j-flexxCalifornia love - dr dreNote - dr dre’s 3 verse version w/ roger from zapp.Blunt time (ghost version) - j-flexxBlunt time - dr dreNote - blunt time was recorded the same day as california love and was recorded at dre’s house w/ roger for zapp. Dre failed to give roger credit on talk box when it was released on aftermath compilation to avoid any problems with death row. Also there is no other version of this song (2pac, rage, sam sneed etc), if a version was done it would have been during the early start of aftermath and after death row.“Back pay” (ghost version) - j-flexx“Back pay” - dr dreNote - very few people even know this song was recorded, if u happened to be at dre’s house or j-flexx’s camp would know about this song. The song was going at certain females dre was involved with and had james brown’s “pay back” sample. This is one of dre’s best song at death row.Aside from maybe another 2-3 songs , that was all that was recorded for the chronic sessions. J-flexx was dr dre’s right hand man at time, he was doing “all” of dr dre’s ghost writing. drauma didn’t write anything for dr dre that was actually recorded until the aftermath thing popped off. a lot people tend to forgett dr dre had a really bad year in 95 (jail, easy died, 2pac arrived, suge taking control of company etc). jimmy also didn’t help the session, he was always telling dre not to start on another gangster rap album. Also to clear any rumors about suge taking dre’s vocals off of cali love and replacing them w/ pac is totally false. suge did not even have access to cali love because after 94 dre did not ever record anything at can am only at his house. 2pac was invited to dre’s house for the only session between the two. The only songs that were recorded was can’t c me & cali love, nothing more. The only other beat that dre gave to pac was toss it up (og) beat, but was not recorded together. The beat was later sold to blackstreet.Been there, done that - was not recorded at d.r. at all. The reason for suge having credit to that song was when dre first left, j-flexx and sam sneed camp also left with him. The first songs that were recorded at aftermath j-flexx wrote both. A dr dre track ( been there) and a solo song for himself that was originally intened to be on the aftermath compilation. After a while j-flexx realized the dre was not going to help him get out his dr contract, flex decided to call suge and try to work things out. Suge was cool with idea and flexx returned. As soon as he got to the office he told suge he had written the new dr dre single and before flexx could finish his story, suge went straight to interscop with paper work and received a fat check from jimmy. Dr dre was not happy!!!!Keep the heads - again another song that was recorded around the same time, but this song was strictly recorded for the Friday ost . There is a ghost version with flexx that is a lil more explicit. I don’t think many people realize this song is about bitches giving head. Priorty made dr dre tone down the lyrics a bit for the radio versionOg to bg - was recorded before the chronic sessions even started. Good song though.

lol at the "facts"
Quote from: From Dre-Day to Helter Skelter on May 09, 2009, 10:19:57 AMlol at the "facts"My thoughts too.
I thought Teddy Riley produced No Diggity?
Quote from: Adon on May 09, 2009, 10:07:49 AMI thought Teddy Riley produced No Diggity?The beat was sold to Teddy Riley. Dre originally made the beat but he wasn't given production credits on the album.
Didn't Ice Cube have a verse on California Love?
So what about the Toss It Up (OG) that has been on several internet projetcs, where the beat sounds similar to No Diggity? Is it the framework of what Dre sold to TR, or a Dante remix?
