I was honestly impressed that YG and Drake not only "remade" an unreleased 2pac song into a banger with 50 mil Youtube views, but also that Drake also stole a Rappin 4Tay verse, making the entire song literally a remix of 2pac Who do u luv blended with 4Tay's Playa's club verse rapped by Drake.
What first bothered me was that since it was literally remaking an unreleased 2pac song, nobody even seemed to mention it, nor mention it in the credits or anywhere else, with YG pretending it was his original song. I guess since the 2pac song that "inspired" it was never released in its full glory (instead getting ruined on LTTG), they thought nobody would find out. 4Tay at least called out Drake for stealing Playa's club, but nobody called out that the melody and the hook are from an unreleased 2pac song.
What bothered me even more, however, was that nobody across all of Youtube bothered to layer the original 2pac acapella on the YG/Drake beat to get the ultimate 2pac remix of Who do u luv. So I launched Audacity, literally layered a shitty raw acapella extract over the YG beat, took 30 seconds dragging the tracks so they sort of align, made a single cut during a weird transition, and I was amazed that it just works. YG and Drake didn't even bother to meaningfully alter the tempo:

The entire operation took me literally less than 7 minutes. Getting it on beat would take the same amount of time for someone who actually knows what they're doing, and I'm sure it would sound good with an actual acapella if someone bothered to look for it or use AI to extract one.
And the last thing that bothers me is that YG showed how much potential the song had by simply modernizing the OG beat and turning it into a banger even without 2pac on it, yet what 2pac got was a shitty remix on LTTG that made the song entirely skippable.
