aside from the title flip the song sounds nothing similiar to the one we know.


I remember in 1991, Nice and Smooth and Big Daddy Kane had a posse cut with the same title and even then we didnt think the 2 had anything to do with each other

He never said Pac's song sounded like his. He just found it odd that months after handing Pac a tape with a song called "Mama Dear", he drops a song called "Dear Mama". Wouldn't you?

It's not a stretch that Pac heard the joint and felt inspired to write about his own mom. Which for the record, I don't think is an egregious offense or the same as straight biting. Artists inspire each other all the time, especially in Hip-Hop.

.....I'm just saying...Kane didnt release no diss track towards Nice and Smooth and they both had Posse cuts with the exact same name and concept.

True. Kane was a major player so it woulda been silly for him to diss dudes not on his level, no disrespect to them.

In Kill Kill's case it was either try to sue Pac (which would have likely flopped in court), take it to the street, or get some traction by dissing a Platinum superstar artist.
