You can understand the great taste he got on music and how smart he was...love it!

[@ellzslaughter7350]

Samples are sound bites used from a separate pre recorded sound, interpolations are sound bites played from or inspired by other sounds Quoting is just quoting!

[@itsurfcknworld]

as soon as i heard the "inside my love" sample for "me against the world" i was like oh shit j cole used that for "everybody dies"...

[@matthijsarensman1385]

A tribe called Quest also sampled that, I think it was Lyrics to Go

[@SocialistFinn1]

and Hood took me under by Comptons most wanted

[@natansantos116]

the brazilian rapper call Filipe Ret, make a song call "Neurótico de Guerra" and in this song, he dj sampled "inside my love"

J Cole's the worst for that shit. Most of his samples are already used.

[@randomdudewholikesmusic1640]

Awesome vid! Not only am I finding out what made Pac's songs sound the way they are (which is amazing), but I'm also exposing myself to some classics and oldies I never knew about! You got yourself a new sub!

[@jayray6844]

Agreed.

[@Illumiras]

Everyone writing how 2pac made these beats and loved those songs, while those beats were produced mostly by Johnny J. DJ's make the beats for the Rappers, guys. And they deserve way more credit

[@comprehensivelyambigous3865]

I knew of about half of these original songs but the rest was quite informative and entertaining! I think that sampling, if done properly and with respect to the source material, is complimentary to everyone involved. Old School & Mid School music was true art 🎨. We miss 2Pac and everyone else in his songs and in the original music in this awesome video! ❤️🌹

I can’t stand when they say the rapper sampled the music…they do pick old songs sometimes to ask a producer to flip but they rarely make their own beats…like you said they killem

Johnny J is a legend

[@Dooly00000]

No Diggity didn't become Toss It Up. Story behind that beat is twisted, but simply put, Pac recorded Toss It Up first with Dr Dre knowledge, but Dre one who made the beat never finalized it with 2pac. and when Dre left Death Row he produced No Diggity instead. Pac still released the song because of Dre and Death Row beef and he did it as sheer disrespect because he was upset at Dre over few other known issues

You must state the artist's name and say it's a sample. It's like what happened with Vanilla Ice and Queen.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

There were different laws regarding sampling prior to January 1st 1994 when the law was changed in favor of the original artists. That's why groups like Public Enemy have records with like 10 different samples in one song. But after that date things changed drastically which led to less just sampling what you want and more interpolations and using 1 or 2 samples per song. Shit got expensive to do lol
