Changes back on the charts over the past few weeks with all that's going on. Imagine if he was still here!

What.. the.. fuck! This was like 20 unreleased alternative versions or unheard songs from the Thug Life / MATW era. I don't have most of these and I didn't even know that some of them existed. I also finally get to hear "Don't leave", and that alternative version of How Long Will they Mourn Me Sounds sick! Love that song.

Happy Bday 2pac!

He'd be hella surprised that a song he never released got so big, ending up changing the world and becoming one of the most influential artifacts of the African-American culture. Seriously, what was he thinking not putting it on one of his early albums? Also, can you imagine that odds are we would've never gotten it if 2pac was still alive? We only got it because once he died people started digging in the vaults for unreleased material to make further albums with and came across some legendary shelved shit, including Changes.

If he was alive today, we'd likely only be getting new albums with new material. Can you imagine an alternative universe in which 2pac is alive, his modern albums suck like most other rappers' from that era, and we never got to hear the old classics? Weird thought.

So.... I have this interview I did with Shock G over 10 years ago that I never used. I found it the other day - I actually only have a hard copy that I transcribed due to my lack of organisation. I'm thinking I should type it up (it's about 20 pages) and we put it up on streethop next year.

Maybe part 1 on June 16th and part 2 on September 13th


What do you think, Mike?
