Letter 2 My Unborn (Beat Previously Used In 96 by MC LYTE)

[Comatose187]

I just bought the Sunset Park Soundtrack just for the 2PAC - HIGH TIL I DIE song and found that MC Lyte Feturing Xscape - Keep On, Keepin' On has a song that later a 2PAC release had entitled LETTER 2 MY UNBORN. Just a little info for those who dont know.

It merely uses the same sample.

 

[DeeezNuuuts83]

It's also the beat for another unheard OG... you all know which one

 

[Parish2004]

Huh, which one, Deeez Nuuuts??

 

[EriMakaveli]

I dont think alot of ppl no exSept danTe, but Its assumed that its LikeLy thug In me. I think otheRwISE..

 

[golden]

ya thats why at tha start of tha OG tupac say's--"i like that beat that mc lyte got"and at tha end--"i think we rocked that one harder than mc lyte fuck that micheal jackson"...cause tha samples from a micheal jackson song...---my 2 cents/PEACE

 

[EriMakaveli]

but the thing is, why would amaru or whoever remix the song, and keep the sample, because Thug In Me also samples michael jackson, so its probibly the OG

 

[underdog]

post the mc lyte song or beat, maybe i can loop

so Sittin On Chrome aka Still I Rise (OG?) isn't the OG???

It's not called Sittin On Chrome, and EriMakaveli's answer is probably wrong, the one with the Letter 2 My Unborn beat is probably Thug N U Thug N Me OG.

You guys are retarded. If you guys did your homework, you would have enough evidence to realize that it is THUG IN ME. The version of Thug in Me that we have all believed to be the OG is not the true OG, but that is how the song was in its stage of development by the time Pac died.

For those of you who have the In His Own Words interview CD, listen to the track entitled "Last Projects" where Pac says "I just did a remix for 'What'z Ya Phone #'... which is like... I did all new lyrics. I took that MC Lyte beat that she got out... 'Keep On... movin' up.' I did a remix off of that with that. It's so freaky, you will not believe it."

Ever since Thug in Me first appeared on bootlegs, what was its alternate title? "What'z Ya Phone # (Remix)" And what are the first few words that Pac says in the alleged OG? "I like that beat that MC Lyte got... Johnny J, flip that shit, let's do that shit over. Let's do that shit Death Row-style."

Logical deduction will indicate that the very first Thug In Me beat used the same Michael Jackson sample as MC Lyte's "Keep On" (also shared with the retail version of "Letter 2 My Unborn") as indicated by the intro from the bootleg version of "Thug in Me" as well as the Pac interview with Sway. Later on, the instrumental was re-worked to sound more in-tune with the subject matter, much like how the Toss It Up OG instrumental was different then later changed with Pac's knowledge for whatever reason.

It makes sense. Nice info for all of us, thanks.
