U Can Be Touched OG question

[Hellrazor1978]

Ive had this leaked og for about 3+ years now but never really found who produced it. Was this a Johnny J beat?

Love this song.

produced by JJ and samples rick james' "hollywood"

 

[DarkPhantom13]

1 of my fav leaked og's

 

[Hellrazor1978]

Thanks fellas.

Yup, one of my fav Pac songs ever.

Oh one other question about this joint...Is Kadafi supposed to have a verse on this? Cause the version I have hes not on it, but I heard one recently with him on it, second to the last verse.

there is a 2pac version and an outlawz version. the outlawz version uses the same beat but with an added reversed percussion effect (that's mixed waaaay too loud). in this version, kadafi drops his verse, and napo raps pac's verse. it's not the same recording as on SIR though because napo sounds way different.

so there's two different og's, and then the released one.

 

[Hellrazor1978]

Hmmm interesting. Cause the version i posted above is the one with Tupac rapping the first verse, but it has Kadafi on it. I wonder if someone mixed it in?

 

[Bender]

the og version i have features Kadafi

can someone upload the other og

 

[Hellrazor1978]

One I got is same exact thing minus Kadafi's verse.

 

[Bender]

^ if that's the only difference then i prefer the version with Kadafi's verse

Somebody mixed in pac's verse.

 

[Bender]

^ don't you mean that someone mixed in Kadafi's verse?

 

[DarkPhantom13]

Yea my bad

There is one separate recording session with 2Pac and the Outlawz, and a later recording session with only the Outlawz (this time featuring Kadafi). Just listen to Kadafi's verse on your copy of the song. Is there a very loud, reversed high-hat every bar or so? If it's there consistently throughout the track, Pac's verse was mixed in to the Outlawz version. If it's there only during Kadafi's verse, it's the opposite. I guess the info you should care for here though is that Kadafi's verse was not recorded in the same session as Pac's.

My guess is that the song was recorded not very long before Pac's death, and then re-recorded in the weeks before Kadafi was shot too.

2pac only recorded h is verse as a demonstration for Napoleon...he wrote the song about Napo's life

Thats never been proven. It's only wat the Lawz said after it was revealed that Pac originally did the verse. I find it very hard to believe he wrote that verse for Napo when Napo has his very own verse in the original og.

 

[Preach]

Yeah, I think that's something Napo did because he somehow thought it was a way to show respect to his mentor or something. I don't think he straight jacked it, the other Outlawz were all "in on it" so something must have been up there.

That's why I suggested the version with Kadafi was recorded in the weeks right after Pac's death. The irony of the song when you consider that Pac got "touched" is undeniable, and it seems like the Lawz did it as some way of honoring him. Like a tribute, using a song that's almost prophetic to do so.
