"Temptations"...
Now I ain't gone lie (Lol when people start a sentence with that I joke wit 'em like "oh so everything else you said before this was a lie then huh"?) when I first heard 2Pac's "Temptations" on the "Me Against The World" Album as a pre-teen I would sometimes skip it cuz I wasn't too fond of it. It wasn't until I got older, started making beats and sampling that I began to love the song and truly appreciated Easy Mo Bee's production style, especially the way he muffles/filters samples to where they have a "bassy" and "gritty" sound.
Now when It comes to this remix, I wanted to of course retain the flavor of the original elements that made up the production for the beat, but as usual, make the beat use more elements of the song that it samples for the main melody or foundation. In this case, it's Roger & Zapp's "Computer Love" (Everybody love's "Computer Love". I can't think of anyone who doesn't like it lol��) So what I did was resample a portion of "Computer Love" and used on Pro Tools what is called on a "Vintage Filter" to remake the "bassy/gritty" foundation of 2Pac's "Temptations" beat, but I also sampled the classic snare and clap of "Computer Love" to add to the mix. As far as the classic scratch sounds that's in "Computer Love" (Ra-Ra-Ra Rooooooy Lmao) I actually had to sample the ones at the very beginning of Roger & Zapp's song "Slow & Easy" because the scratches are isolated on that particular song. Definitely had to sample the "Hey-Eeey" portions from Redman's "Watch Yo Nuggets". I replayed and the guitar, (guitar that's panned on the left side of the mix) and an ethereal synth to capture that "Computer Love" vibe. Rhodes, (simple notes played in "Temptations") Hi-Hats, Cymbal, Bass and Shaker using Reason 8.0. I originally tried to replay the "Sax" sound that appears on the hook, (at least that's what I think it is lol) but it just didn't sound right to me, so I sampled the one that's on the instrumental version of "Temptations" (I always wondered why there were 2 different mixes to "Temptations" as far as the beat? maybe someone has an answer)
Towards the very end of making this remix I thought to myself about the fact that both "Temptations" and "I Get Around" sample "Computer Love", so I started playing around with a sample of the "You Know I've Been Around" line/portion from "Computer Love" and added it in to connect/blend all 3 songs together. This can be looked at as a remix beat for "I Get Around" as well, so If anyone has the acapella for "I Get Around", feel free to try to sync it to the instrumental.
R.I.P 2Pac and Roger Troutman...
