If I Die Tonight

i'm pretty sure it was recorded before he got shot. from what i remember everything on me against the world besides of course the intro was done before he got shot. peace

yea i think it was sessions from summer 94, where most of matw was recorded. except temptations thats a 93
 
kinda hard to say, there are tracks that have been re-worked such Stretch productions and things that were edited. I believe the originals were recorded pre-94/95, but the final works have been done in '94.

if i die tonight seems like its after pac got shot, but all the info suggests that its before.

when you listen to the lyrics in Real Bad Boyz, you'd think it was made after the shooting too

not always the case

very true. i always pictured songs like death around the corner, lord knows, if i die tonight,and fuck the world being after the shooting, and im sure a few of those are, i think fuck the world was post shooting. but i always pictured those songs as expressing the pain from the shooting but it seems he was making these songs before. Although he was on trial for numerous things during the time period.

when he got shot n then went to jail, he was just somber
it was in jail that some shit was built up

he was goin thru hella things like you said Before the shootin. suicidal too
 
hmmm. that whole story is really confusing me... nobody knows but i'm not 100% sure bout what i said... somebody shud clear this up but i think even dante cudnt answer these questions.. or can he? HOLlA DANTE
 
well consider this... pac was shot on november 30, 1994 right? he's in the hospital until december 2, when he went to jasmine guy's house for better protection... december 5th he missed a hearing due to health concerns, and again on the 14th (when 2pac's physician issued remittance to the courts stating that moving him could threaten his compromised condition). he surrendered on december 23rd to prison.

if you look at the dates, at best he had a week of recording time by the time he was healthy enough to stand (or rap) and the time he surrendered. even that figure is stretching it since he was in pretty bad shape.

good info on the dates. also i was just watching the pac interview from mtv where he says it was a trip that everything he rapped about on MATW ended up really happening to him so.... peace

If anything sounded like it was recorded after the shooting, it's some of the shit Pac says on Outlaw.

"Picture me blasted, surrounded by niggaz in masks, sent with the task to harass and murder my ass."

true. that sounds exactly like the 94 shooting. thats why pac said he was tripped-out that what he rapped about on MATW ended up actually happening to him. peace
