6 Early Versions Of Iconic Songs Missing The Iconic Parts

The iconic single that served as the follow up to Tupac's All Eyes On Me was a song not even written for Tupac. The song was originally recorded to go on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic II: A New World Odor. That album was eventually shelved hopefully because of its terrible title.

In the version Dre recorded solo, all is good until the second verse comes up. Instead of getting Tupac's iconic voice booming through the speakers, we hear Dre rapping about a lady with a short skirt.

There are two different versions of events as to how this became Tupac's song. According to hip hop icon Chris "The Glove" Taylor, there was a house party at Dre's house. Dre played the unfinished track for Tupac and Taylor, they began working on the song, and the rest is history.

However, according to the infamous Suge Knight, Knight himself took the song from Dre and gave it to Tupac and was simply nice enough to let Dre have anything to do with it. During the same story he also claims to have come up with the "California Love" music video, ignoring the fact it is completely based on Mad Max. So, Suge Knight claims he invented Mad Max.
