That alone would have been a bigger single than Pacs Life if they kept the original sample and got a new singer.
Also Playa Cards Right original sample is amazing. Answer: Immortal Technique - Dance with the devil Wu Tang Clan - C.R.E.A. First off is Kurupt with a metaphor induced verse. Got My Mind Made Up This track has more of a East Coast feel to it as Daz and Pac start it off with G’d up yet MC-like verses, then on to the true MC performances of the track. They should have labeled it "Can't Stop The Music" since Pac and the hook says that. 2Pac telling tales about pullin tricks on tricks, while Nate takes over the hook. But stupid they changed the name when there is already a don't stop keep going and sh*t don't stop track. I know If There's A Cure was remixes by Johnny J for it but not used.Īs for don't stop the music, I prefer the OG by miles. They could have also used some other tracks like First 2 Bomb and If Theres A Cure here too. Also they could have easily put Luda on the Keyshia version of Playa Cards Right and had that other version just be a Interlude with that beat and extra vocals.
Originally, the hook was a sample of a song from the legendary. The other half could have been a Interlude (the vocals in the Daz Wake My People UP Interlude that you don't hear on the Don't Go To Sleep OG because it fades out). The original version of ‘Dear Mama’ was far different than the version that was released, as far as the hook was constructed. And Pacs Intro and Outro on Don't Go 2 Sleep. I would have Preferred they used Pacs Hooks on Pacs Life, Dumpin. Also using don't sleep and don't go to sleep on the same album was a blunder. Also having two different versions of 3 tracks made it seem like overkill.
The album became more of a various artist compilation. Untouchable Swizz Beatz Remix Released: 2006. And they didn't include a track like Grab The Mic or Tongue Kissing to really push this album as a single. on International versions of the album there will be track 14 - Dear Mama (Remix Version) and in Japan there is track 15 Scared Straight. They ruined the album by removing Pacs vocals from most tracks. But The Sha Money XL beats on Sleep, Untouchable Kadafi Version, Playa Cards Right Ludacris Version, Dumpin were dope.
