Nickatina Beat?

[carl winslow]

does anyone know where the beat from nickatinas track "last breath of an mc" is originally from. i didnt think it was a sample, until the other day i was listening to some pigeon john track with the same beat. i highly doubt they sampled it from each other. so i was wondering where that beats originally from

When I used 2 live with my pops he heard me play that Nickatina track & immediately grabbed his Paul Simon record & played me that shit. I was trippin'. Both tracks are tight & yes Pac did use that sample "Wonder Why They Call You". Dope track as well.

pigeon johns verses are alright. the guy on the second verse (i dont know who it is) sounds like tom green rapping or something. or me when i fuck around freestyling

Its a pretty simple beat; i dont see why you would need the sample.
