Am I trippin or is the piano intro to "Do Me Baby" sampled all thru 2Pac's "2 Live and Die in LA?
The recent "Giovianni" thread prompted this question.

What album is that song on???



While on the subject of Pac, I REALLY loved "What's Your Phone #" w/ the 7779311 sample...

2Pac and Prince co-wrote a song called "Heartz Of Men" on 2Pac's album "All Eyes On Me".I don't know why there is no site that lists this song as a Prince collaboration with other artists.I found it written in the booklet of the "all eyes on me" cd.

Since we're on the subject, Shock-G remixed "Love Sign" (the version that's on the Crystal Ball) and he was the main rapper in Digital Underground which was the group that Tu Pac was in before he went solo. Ya'll remember the HumptyDance, well go buy Sex Packets if you ain't got it already. Every DU album is phat, up through FutureRythym and even WhoGotTheGravy ain't half bad.

2pac loved prince. he sampled so many prince songs

"2 live and die in la" sampled "do me baby"

"if i was ur girlfriend was on" "thugs get lonely too"- notice the prince/time refrence

"pop life" sampled on "pacs life"

and on a rare track called "ghetto gospel" he sampled Princes "dearly beloved" chant.

"hearts of men" sampled "darling nikki". it was just the weired chanting sampled

Thanks for the info

I have it but I rarely listen to it & that song ain't my favorite but I'll check it out...

Was 2pac trying to call himself Machiavelli, as in the Italian philosopher Nicolo Machiavelli and just doing a pathetic job with the spelling or did he have some different idea?
