Daz Dillinger has set the record straight on Snoop Dogg‘s claim that Nas was supposed to appear on 2Pac‘s All Eyez On Me.
During his recent Drink Champs interview with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, Uncle Snoop alleged the Queensbridge MC originally had a verse on “Got My Mind Made Up” — track number four on ‘Pac’s blockbuster 1996 album — but was taken off the song.
“Nas came over to Daz [Dillinger]’s house and got on the song first,” he said. “Then Redman and Method Man got on that song. Then 2Pac got out the pen and Daz gave it to 2Pac and took cuz verse off, but left Method Man and Redman on it … And if you get at Daz, he may have the files.”
As the surprise revelation began to circulate, Daz Dillinger — who produced “Got My Mind Made Up” along with several other songs on All Eyez On Me — uploaded a video to his YouTube channel on Monday (April 18) clarifying the story.
“It’s a lot of n-ggas out there been giving wrong information,” he began. “I was looking at the Drink Champs the other day. Snoop was explaining about that Nas verse. Unnnn! Whole situation wrong. He was never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever on ‘Got My Mind Made Up.'”
“The original person that was on ‘Mind Made Up’ was me, Kurupt, Method Man, Redman, Inspectah Deck and The Lady of Rage,” he continued.
Nas Was Supposed To Be On 2Pac's 'All Eyez On Me' Reveals Snoop Dogg
Daz then played the song he believes Snoop Dogg meant to refer to: Tha Dogg Pound’s “Don’t Stop, Keep Going,” which features two verses from Nas. The track wound up on the duo’s 2004 compilation album The Last of Tha Pound, which was made up of the last music Daz and Kurupt recorded for Death Row.
Another version of the track featuring 2Pac instead of Nas with the abbreviated title “Don’t Stop” appeared on Tha Dogg Pound’s 2001 release Tha Dogg Pound 2002.
“Nas was on this first,” Daz explained in the clip. “I took it to Death Row and 2Pac heard it without me being there and put hisself on there. And I said, ‘Fuck that, let me put this out.'”
Turning his attention back to Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger issued a strongly-worded reminder about his role in the making of 2Pac‘s All Eyez On Me and other Death Row classics.
“Get your information straight, dawg,” he said. “I’m the n-gga that created all that shit. Anything that gotta do with all that shit, I’m the producer, I’m the brains behind this shit. Anybody that come with them third party stories ain’t know what the fuck they talking about.
“I’m the creator. I know every story there is. Other n-ggas just hear about the stories, but they was never there ’cause everybody that was on Death Row left! And I stayed, gathered all the information up and took all my shit.”
Well someone is sassy this morning….
I agree 100 percent bruh!!! Stop playing with Nas’s name Snoop!!!
Nas is spitting hard on this Mother F! Damn!!!!
Snoop Liar just got knocked tha fvck out! That weed got his stories ALL FVCKED UP!
I remember Daz or Kurupt telling this story before on another interview and from what I recall “Got my mind made up” had a Inspectah Deck (and possibly GZA) verse but when Daz let Pac hear it he said the song was too long and told Daz to take his verse off. So he did but he liked the verse so much he kept snippets of it that played at the end of the song.
Yeah, you can hear the verse starting to kick up last few seconds
Yeah, it’s fire AF too.
This fool love putting Nas in his mouth!
Eu amo Tupac Amaru shakur fale o quer quizerem dele amo tbm snoop Dogg
Next thing people are going to get their minds blown that U Can’t C Me was a Dogg Pound record that is out there with their vocals on it, or that California Love was Dre’s song that Pac jumped on.
Yeah it was always meth, red, deck tha pound and rage originally, u cant see me is actually snoops whats my name with different horns and shit.
Nah. Dogg Pound did U Can’t C Me. The song you’re talking about was Got My Mind Made Up, and Deck was on it too. Pac probably would have left him on it, but it really was too long even if you cut the Rage verse, which I think was out of place on it anyway. It’s like 7 minutes long or some shit in original form. No person putting an album together, a double CD at that, would have left it in that form. It’s probably why it got cut off Dogg Food to begin with.
By the way, that baseline was used for a few songs. Listen to Pac’s Heavy in the Game off of Me Against the World. It’s a poor man’s version of What’s My Name by Snoop. Pac used a lot of beats over and over again in different versions like Death Around the Corner and Picture Me Rollin’ and a few more examples.
Is Uncle Snoop & Cuzzn Daz Beefin??? Or did Snoop leave Daz out of the Death Row deal and Dat Nogga Daz mad???
I meant to say is Uncle Snoop & Cuzzn Daz beefin???
Those fools always have had a love-hate relationship. Daz was on Death Row all while dudes were there making diss songs about him and producing some of them. I don’t know how that family gets down, but it’s like that sometimes with family members. He also is known to fuck with harder drugs than weed, him and Kurupt, so he could have been on one when he did this video, especially since people say Snoop took a shot at him in the interview talking about Quik is better or some shit.
“If you don’t know the Truth behind nothing,Just shut the fuck up,”Period”!
Haha, true….Snoop already left Death Row for No Limit. Kurupt had also bounced, but if Daz really produced everything how come his album on Death Row was so mediocre ???
Daz first album was stunning, what are u talking about
Daz made some good beats but Dre Sam Sneed, Colin Wolfe produced and engineered that shit
Did he really need to go so hard in the paint about it though lol
