@@gotemcoach2346 Honestly, who knows when it was made, we just know when the song was released. It could've been made in 91 for all we know and just sat in the reserves until Pac decided to hop on it. And Devonte gets the credit, but we know Timbaland did this one.
DeVante's production. People like to say Tim ghost-produced this, but even the engineer Dave Arons has interviewed talking about DeVante working on this beat (literally, the interview is on youtube). People really need to understand what producing actually means. It doesn't mean the producer played every instrument. It means he built, constructed, conceived the song. He's the architect, not necessarily the contractor. But in De's case, he was often all of those things. The synths, the piano, the vibe of the entire song was DeVante. As for the drums, SMK brought that drum style from Memphis to Da Bassment. And Missy liked the style. That's how Tim started creating it through his own productions. Confirmed by many of the other artists in Da Bassment.
I like how you can vaguely hear Pac still rapping in the background. The lyrics are so legendary that they couldn’t just compose the instrumental version. 😂

@@lee_drifting Definitely Timbaland, but he was ghost producer at the time so Devante got all the credit. Growing up in the 90s, most of us "hip hop heads" knew it was him that made the beat, Timbaland just has certain signature styles that you can clearly hear. He finally admitted it a couple years ago on a Twitter post.
@RiskyTV no homie, it was already confirmed by smk that he did the drums. also king jc confirmed that smk did the drums because he used to work with him back in the 90s and heard him play the drums before smk gave it to devante. him and timbaland used to work under devante when they were in da bassment. timbaland started doing smks drum style because missy elliot liked his style and wanted timb to do it rnb style
@@Kizzyxh Wasn't Devante Swing around with Jodeci before Timbaland? I thought Tim , Missy , Ginuwine were all under Devante on his label and he was their mentor , I don't think Tim could've taught him anything but I could be wrong.
@@fawkkyutuu8851That’s not what I said. I said Timbaland was Devante’s protege. Which mean Devante is the mentor. He worked very closely with Devante on production during this time period.
Devonte was kinda like the DJ Khalid of the 90s, meaning he knew how to put good talent together. And like Khalid, he would have his name on a lot of the work, as he owned the rights. And let's face it, many people in the 90s just signed contracts and didn't really know what they were signing. Long story short, many of the beats that Devonte gets credit for weren't actually made by Devonte.
@@blahzay_ No, it makes sense. We know that Timbaland's drums came from Devante and that he taught him a lot, but in many cases, Timbaland and Devante made music together, and Timbaland could create his own beats with Devante’s drums. Timbaland brought his own style, and personally, I think Devante's best beats were when they worked together. I also heard that Timbaland made the beat from Static Major’s former agent who followed them everywhere. It was very common back then to make a track and not get credited, or to sing in the background and not be mentioned, like how Static did the backgrounds on Jodeci’s album and wasn’t credited for exemple. But it's not because someone else did the drums that it wasn't him who made the beat.
This beat was so ahead of its time

Both y'all wrong, it was made in 1995 . Devonte

@@RiskyTVcomActually Memphis producer SMK who was with Devante and Tim said he did it.
This beet was sampled or remixed on dj Esco album for Future's song, Right Now. This beat is definitely ahead of its time and still dope asf.
Big up Devante for this majestic beat
I try
@@MillennialSmark2 good shit my boy 😅
Let’s not forget the Memphis producer who did the drum pattern on this also! Memphis is underrated in hip hop!
This shit so ahead of its time
devante swing is definitely a time traveler for making a trap beat in in the 90s
fav 2pac song. best beat ever.i agree its WAY ahead of his time. whoever made this beat needs to be the richest man alive.
It’s Devonte smooth from Jodeci who made it

Great comment
THANK YOU. Ppl just comment as though DeVanté was some scrub who needed Timbaland to make this masterpiece. It’s ridiculous.
@@benc4968 lol any persons who have/had that thought don’t shxt about music Devante is wayy more talented than timb and this isn’t even a debate
@@keeptrxllbeats4201 facts bro
Always felt this was ambitionz az a ridah part 2. Under rated beat for sure.
It is a good follow up after ambitionz as a ridah, because those 2 songs get u pumped up for sure.
This beat gives me Halloween vibes like it has a somewhat spooky vibe to it and the way that bass is knockin is perfect for bumpin in your whip
Kinda reminds me of dr.dre's murder ink
@@sezoabdula8581 it almost sounds like Devante sampled the Michael Myers theme then chopped it up and made a whole new melody
They should used this song in some horror movies
Pac really used this in 1996 😬💀💀
still don’t understand how this songs 808s bumped this hard since it was made in 96, damn near the first trap beat
they were really ahead. imagine making a trap song in 90s
Is not trap, just and slow Beat, its around 76 bpm
Devante Swing was a menace for this beat 😬
Bless tha day OG
Pac cemented this track 7fit under
This is a GEM.
😤😤😤😤😤WHY IS THIS BEAT STILL SO HARD IN 2025??!!!
Best song on the album , even over California Love which was cool for mainstream radio but this was for hardcore Hip Hop heads , dark and brilliant.
Gold gold ❤
"War drums", was the quote I heard someone say once...
Thanks Bro!, this Is the official!!
You're welcome!
I can hear the vocals faintly in the background
Devonte!!!
I like how you can vaguely hear Pac still rapping in the background. The lyrics are so legendary that they couldn’t just compose the instrumental version. 😂
Sounds like UK Dubstep
Thanks again for your concern about music for
Isaac .
This shit is filthy!!!! Still over alot of these beats today 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Devante & Smk ❤
Appreciate tha love nd listening nd doing my own style
🤔I’m trying to think if I can blend this with a Pop Smoke acapella?
TF? You need a KDot or JCole calibur artist to even lace Pac's left shoe 😅
The ultimate song for a horror movie based on rappers. Even south park paid hommage to Pac and biggie in their episodes
We need to challenge this beat
its almost as good as "Me N My Kup" and "Keep It Cool" its crazy and they're both made in 2023-2024
