New Pac Verse Featured on New Bun B

[KJ1]

An unreleased Tupac verse will be unveiled on Bun B's Trill OG album and it also features an unheard Pimp C verse.... The song was meant for Pac's Life (most likely) but it didn't make the album because it wasn't turned in on time due to sample clearance issues.... EDI asked Bun if he wanted the song back and Bun thought he just meant his and Pimp C's part but EDI told him he would work it out so he could have the Pac verse too, because it was such a good song, he didn't want to have to break it up..... Sounds like its a great song but I'd say if it was that good, they would have made sure to get it on the album, but you never know with Amaru sometimes....

He also talked about taking cautious measures to keep the song from leaking..... I know it will leak sometime but for Bun B's sake I hope it makes it to the release date....

Anyway, here's the interview from MTV Canada that I saw over at another site..... I guess it's ok to post it even though this is from a competitor
Rumors : Hip-Hop Rumors: Rihanna Rushed To The Hospital? Bun B Gets Tupac! Rosa Cuts Her Hair!


Also, isn't this the first time that someone has been given an unreleased Pac verse ever? I know Daz and Richie Rich and a couple of other's maybe had Pac features posthumously but I thought it was because those artists owned the songs because Pac did the verse for them, but I may be wrong...

I think they should sell some of his single verses that he just had one verse for a song.... Maybe not some but a couple and let a couple of deserving artists put Pac on a single.... But with the vaults running low, it makes more sense to keep them and add the artists to Pac's album....

A song that didn't make the cut for Pac's Life? Holy shit this song is gonna be horrible!!!

Maybe but after hearing some remixes left off of other albums, it could be cool.... Maybe Bun B and Pimp C weren't "hot" enough at the time for Amaru to fight to get it on the album.... You know they always have to get the flavor of the month MC's on the album

i dont agree with deserving artists line but im not sure what that means

I mean guys that worked with Pac and are having a tough time in the industry right now, like maybe Big Syke or Richie Rich..... Bone Thugs or even the Outlawz maybe.... But maybe even guys who have been donating to the TAS Foundation....

I'm maybe a bit of a cynic but I like to think that the only reason the first few guest appearances in 97/98 were allowed had to do with the Estate organization not being 100% up and running, and them not having a good legal team or the money to pay for one right away. The lawsuit vs. Death Row when it came to the money owed to Tupac wasn't settled before after the first or maybe even second album after his death. I think to begin with, they had some of their own capital, and lived mostly off of R U Still Down? sales.

But with the vaults running low

False or at worst partially false information. It is nowhere near dry yet, and won't be for at least another 2-4 albums. That includes the material the estate actually have in possession. Money-B let like five or six new songs out through that radio show of his. I know of many individuals who have tapes and rough demos and shit like that of which there is only one copy. If those ever emerge, you can add even a lot more to what the estate has.

One example. Late 1994/early 1995 Tupac started recording drafts for Thug Life Vol. 2. He made a couple of take-home-to-study tapes (basically to bump in various situations, various moods, various systems, to listen to what it sounds like and get ideas for how to improve it. Shock G posseses such a tape that he said he probably wouldn't release. That's a long time ago and things may change. He also referred to a recording where he freestyled on the piano while Pac freestyled lyrics for several minutes, and it was something they did for fun, never intended for release. To add to that, there is thousands of hours of video footage of Pac. New music cheers me up, but it's still the good old hits that make me really love him, and all the available video footage out there will be relative to the recording of the good old songs we know, and probably have a lot of interesting new inputs from Pac that puts his persona in yet another new light, as have many documentaries before. That speech from Tupac:Ressurection where he has a black bandana and yells about about niggas gonna be niggas until they stop taking that shit. He spoked with passion and anger. It was interesting, but sadly, only two short clips were represented on the documentary. I imagine that whole interview would be as satisfying as a new album, to be at least.

Got some info on the Bun B song. It's called "Worldwide". I haven't heard it yet but someone at the label told me the song was redone from it's original form that Amaru gave them. Trey Songz is on the hook and it has a Pimp C verse. I dont know if the song title is related to the Pac verse.

Song is called Right Now according to

They could make another 2 Interscope era albums. Pac's unreleased work is far from low. Whether they see the light of day is another matter. I bet there isn't many fans out there sourcing tracks any longer.

Whatever happened to the rights DR had for an album release?

WideAwake/Death Row is planning on releasing the album this Dec. But lets see if it actually happens or not.

 

[DarkPhantom13]

WTF? I replied to Pittsey how the fuck did my post get posted before his?

Yes, it's called "Right Now". I can't wait to hear this.
Sorry my post was a month ago and got the info from one of the beat producers back then.

Bun B Talks Tupac Collaboration & Drake’s First Week Numbers | Complex Blog

It’s produced by Steve Bilo, a protégé of Pimp’s. It was originally recorded as a live verse and a chorus. My verse is from this year, Pimp C’s verse is from the 2000 decade, and Pac’s verse is from the ’90s. Pac’s verse was already there. We gave the producer the tempo. We stripped the track bare. It wasn’t like the track was created and the verse had to fit on it. So we just built a beat around the same tempo that the verse was already recorded to. If I had to guess, [Pac’s verse] had to be from before the Death Row beef or it has to be around when he started putting together [One Nation], when he had Boot Camp and all of those people. In the song he’s talking about being in New York, walking down 125th, and being at the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Really, it was killing me. It took everything in me to not leak just a piece of it during the Puerto Rican parade. I was just looking at it like, “Fuck, the song should’ve been out yesterday.”

[The hook is sung by] Trey Songz. Trey is a good friend of mine, he was featured on Trill and I did an intro for Trey Day. I wrote and sang the hook initially on the song. They were begging me to keep it. I was like, “I’m not singing this, we need somebody that could really kill the record.” At the time there was nobody else I could think of that was really killing it like Trey was killing it. So I was like, “Let’s get it to Trey.” And he was busy getting his rehearsals done for the BP3 Tour and still trying to start his new album. But he fit us in and made it happen.

Pimp C’s verse was recorded when we were given a session to create a song for one of the last tribute albums. I’m not sure which one it was but it had to be whichever one was released around ’05 or ’06 because it was recorded right after Pimp came home. The song actually didn’t make the album. So somebody was going through the vault, it ended up getting pulled back out, and ended up in the singer Lloyd’s hands. [It got in his hands because] they were trying to get him for UGK 4 Life.

Lloyd was like, “Yo, we got this little session going on here with Tupac, man, and you probably might want this back.” So I was like, “Yeah, but I got to make sure I could use it though.” So we reached out to E.D.I. from the Outlawz, who’s a good friend of mine and cousin of Tupac’s, and one of the main people helping Ms. Afeni Shakur maintain the estate. So we don’t have any of those other type of issues. And he was like, “Man, absolutely, no problems at all. Go for it, it’s a great look.” And so we did it and I did a new verse and I think the rest is going to be history.

Aren't these lyrics from "International" - Pac's Life album ? aka "Bitches" / "Worlwide Dime Piece".

 

[Hi Hater]

Sounds like it.

 

[Preach]

let's hope the remix is better than that piece of crap version that ended up getting used.

and while we're on that note, i'm not just gonna leave it at that. i just wanna express (although everyone agrees and knows it) how much that fucking remix sucks elephant diarrhea.

 

[babyface18]

is not leak right?better not.eminem album leak and he still saleing

 

[AvgJoe504]

If it's the verse from World Wide Dime Piece and that was released on Pac's Life, that would mean its NOT an unreleased verse as he says it is. I think we may be in for a surprise.

Extremely doubtful. When is the last time Amaru has let ANYBODY have a real unreleased verse.......um.........NEVER!

I'm maybe a pessimist, but I think it is indeed the verse we've heard before. He just knows that only like 200 people picked up Pac's Life, and that every real fan never listened to the remix more than once. Technically it's almost unheard in retail format. Jokes aside, I think he's either just ignorant about the Pac scene or bullshitting for hype.
