Pac is one of the most influential artists that's ever been around... Just like people redo oldies people are gonna redo Pac songs... Unless you're Pac there's not any reason to get mad about it. If his mom is in charge of his shit and she's allowing it, let it go...

This is exactly how old folks feel about rap music sampling old songs they grew up on.

^Damn.....that is one of the most conscious replies I have seen on this board about topics like this in a minute....good shyt G-Dubb.

I believe in being original and creating your own shit. There's nothing wrong with being "influenced" by a certain melody or sound, but to re-make the whole song with your own lyrics... come on, now! Especially if it's for commercial success... even more because you'll be earning more than the original artist earned.

hmmm i can understand that so whats the excuse for jay-z using it? I dont think 2pac in influence him.

Cover songs have been a part of music forever. If Run-DMC hadn't redone Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" in the 80's rap music might not have ever had a Platinum single, a Platinum album, a Grammy Award, a spot on Billboard or even a video on MTV.

Pac remade it first, quincy jones is the one who should be mad if anybody, some people are dumb fucks, hip hop was built on beat stealing.
