check your sexuality, as fruity as this alize (alize plug . . at this point it's clear that Interscope had some type of stake in Alize - maybe Alize is owned be Seagram)

That song sounded so out of place on the 7DT.

I understand that was the original consensus but I think the opinion is overstated - the song fits right in there, especially with the intro. The album needed a commercial track and that's it


After hearing No Diggity (which features Dr.Dre) for the first time, several of Dr. Dre's former Death Row colleagues, including Makaveli, recorded and attempted to release the song, containing numerous insults aimed at Dr. Dre and using a deliberately similar instrumental to "No Diggity", but were forced to replace the production after Blackstreet issued the label with a cease and desist order stopping them from distributing the song hence why the song never charted in the USA.[3] He also made an indirect reference to the song Straight Outta Compton of Dr. Dre's former rap group N.W.A. On the outro of the song, Puff Daddy and Lil Kim was dissed. 2Pac also responds to what Puff Daddy said about him in an interview.

DX: [Laughs] I’m sure you do. And I’m presuming you never got paid for “Toss It Up,” ‘cause there’s like 14 different singers on that joint [Laughs.]
Danny Boy: Never got paid for none of them songs, man. I did over eight songs [that were formally released back then], and never received a check from it. never received a check [for] “Come When I Call” [from the Murder Was The Case soundtrack]. Just nothing. All I did get was a monthly salary.

DX: No disrespect to you, but that “Toss It Up” remix that ended up on the Makaveli album was a hot mess. [Laughs]
Danny Boy: Yeah, it’s a hot mess because of people that ain’t had nothing to do with the projects started doing projects. So I agree witchu, a 100%.

DX: The way I understood it…I guess ‘Pac either was given that beat originally by Dr. Dre – the beat that became Blackstreet’s “No Diggity”…
Danny Boy: Nah, that was really a diss song [aimed at Dr. Dre]. They heard [“No Diggity” featuring Dre], and the next thing you know we was in the studio cutting it. We took the [Blackstreet] track. They wasn’t given nothing [by Dr. Dre]… We sang “Toss It Up” [over] the same “No Diggity” track, and [Blackstreet] did a cease and desist letter to us and stated that we couldn’t [release] it. So, that’s how the remix – the [version] that everybody had an opportunity to hear, that’s [why] the beat changed.
