Why didn't they just release the OG versions of songs for Pac's posthumous albums?

Wordz to my 1st Born with the sax :ohlawd:



Secretz of War with the extra verse :ohlawd:



I'm tellin yall nikkaz my Jr and Sr year i damn near ONLY listened to unreleased Pac shyt...


Pac fans was eating:banderas:....I almost wish I had been one of the people who wasn't scrambling to get everything back then,i coulda been one of those Pac fans that's still eatin good right now hearin new shyt,its pac fans out there who don't even know they aint heard everything:mindblown:...every once in a while ill come across sumthin I never heard or don't remember hearing tho


luckily all my favorite rappers that died,majority had big bodies of work Pac,Mac Dre,Stack Bundles and didn't leave us starving outchea:whew:

Secretz of war is so much better in OG,and so was MOB,for sumbody who based his flow off the beat you would think they would find it more important to leave the beats unchanged...u don't see how deadly the flow was with sum of the beat changes

The 6
Sub to listen to these clips later

Killed me when they changed the hook of When Thugz Cry

Battlescars and closed caskets are multiplied
Muthafukkas die, don't ask why
When thugs cry, we don't shed tears we shed blood
Do u still wanna be a thug?

There were several reasons why the beats were changed. one of them was paying to clear samples. afeni wasnt tryin to hear that.

they also (estate) wanted to 'update' the beats to fit the era they were released.

johny j also wanted to redo his beats because he stopped sampling and wanted to do original compositions. he realized it was a bad idea later on near his end and was planning on releasing his original versions at some point. thats where alot of the more recent leaks came from.

afeni had the disses removed because she didnt want to offend any other parties and she sure didnt want anything to do with deathrow. eventually they squashed their issues, but johnny j still hadnt been paid for the work he did on death row.

All these original versions were leaked mostly by The Realest, Daz, Johnny J, and several other smaller sources (some other producers, family, people who had shyt boxed up in they closet). They sold them to a few people who were on the net back in the mid-late 90's. i was blessed to have gotten to know these individuals who have blessed me with a majority of the unreleased original shyt well before they were officially leaked.

im sure if you guys look through some of your pac collection, specifically the id3 info, you will find my name attached to it. original Thug Luv before the layzie bone leak was one for example as well as the cdq/no dj versiom of Confessions with Bizzy Bone.

also them dante OG vibe albums, them beats were remade by me way back in the day lol

Can someone up some of that OG CDQ PAC for me? I've got some odds and ends, but a lot of it is cassette quality, LOL... If you don't wanna post publicly I can get you my email... Thanks!
