This one was not on my radar to do at all. As usual, [MENTION=1364]Joecool (RoscoeOutlaw on 2F) and I have talks about random 2Pac songs and this song (freestyle) came up. I never really felt one way or another about this track, but when RoscoeOutlaw sent me a Lalal acapella for it I started rebuilding the beat starting with the "Love Hangover" by Diana Ross sample for the foundation. Of course I couldn't forget about layering in the signature Johnny J drums. Redid the piano and bass line. (Except the very 1st note of the bass line. That's from the real song.) At that point we both agreed on adding a worm into the mix, so I thought since the beat is more of a 2Pac-ish beat, how about adding something Snoop Doggy Dogg-ish into mix. I chose to replay the worms from "Gin & Juice" and The Dogg Pound's "Big Pimpin".
