As is Elvis, Jim Morrison and Jesus.

Get one clue.

On the street in your mind.

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

Yes, but what about Kula Shaker? How are they doing?

Noodle, let me have a little chat with you about Jesus, I won't take a moment of your time...

I love a good urban legend, but this one would have to account for the existence of a dead deadringer with ALL of Tupac's ornate tattooing.

WTF: Why does 2Pac sound EXACTLY like the mysterious rapper Blac Haze?

Rezzarekshun, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

Henry Stone (TK Records/Sunnyview Records/Hot Productions/etc) helped get Blac Haze out on the market. Henry and I have discussed this a bit. Henry is well aware of the similarities in their voices, and he knowingly used that as a marketing tool.

It mildly worked.

I prefer the "Haile Selassie is alive" videos to the 2Pac is alive videos generally speaking but does anybody know where this alternate-take, non-double-tracked vocals version of "I Ain't Mad Atcha" comes from? I could never understand why Pac wanted to double track all his vox when he had such a great voice

J0hn D., Tuesday, 16 December 2008 21:20 (seventeen years ago)

I don't care to watch the vid you posted, but you do know that the version of "I Ain't Mad at Cha" in its music video is a completely different recording from the album version, right?

beggin-ass keith (The Reverend), Tuesday, 16 December 2008 21:27 (seventeen years ago)

I don't know if I ever saw the video so no I didn't know that

J0hn D., Tuesday, 16 December 2008 21:58 (seventeen years ago)

you could always use that li'l light function on yr screen if you wanted to check the track tho rev

J0hn D., Tuesday, 16 December 2008 22:00 (seventeen years ago)

Naw, I'm in the middle of listening to something else that I'm really enjoying, but here's the vid:

I'll be damned, I should have watched more videos

thanks rev

anybody besides me think the non-dbl-tracked vocal is superior in every way?

J0hn D., Tuesday, 16 December 2008 22:05 (seventeen years ago)

the conversation with the old guy in the beginning is creepy

Andrew Sandwich, Wednesday, 17 December 2008 04:29 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah I mean part of the reason I have a tough time getting into Pac is because everything is double-tracked and shit

every so often I can get a sense of the effect I imagine he was going for with this - a sort of druggy big-room feel with some space for various moods. it's like here's the same voice twice with enough panning so you can really hear that it's not just a second/third track added for boost. which it isn't, because he had plenty voice by himself - listen to the rant at the end of "hit 'em up," no double tracking there I don't think except the echo on "quadruple" at the end - it's so potent by itself. so, I think there was an idea he was shooting for, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that shock g had something to do with it initially, shock g very into trippy panning sounds and when the double-tracking vocal hits right it's got a trippy aspect to it.

that at any rate is my imagined justification for one of my favorite rapper's generally-really-puzzling-to-me creative choices

J0hn D., Wednesday, 17 December 2008 04:41 (seventeen years ago)

I'm pretty sure the reason for his constant use of doubling is to make him sound HUGE and ALL-ENCOMPASSING. I mean, one Tupac voice is big enough, how can you fuck with multiples of them?

Tupac Is Still Alive Every Time I Rhyme.

elgolfo, Wednesday, 17 December 2008 18:27 (seventeen years ago)

id like him to come back and re-release all the songs that have come out since he died but in their original states.

Ok after checking REAL pictures you can tell that this is not the real Tupac...WHY? Because his bottom lip is really bigger than the top this guy has smaller lips, Tupac has tattoo on his left wrist and you can tell this guy dont, plus the nose ring is a little off from the real pictures of him. TMZ is so full of it. If you are running out of stories to post then hire new people. I will work for you and have killer stories that people would belive. Come on you can tell if you do the research.
