2Pac - I Got My Mind Made Up (O.G. Version with Rebel INS)

thomasv · Post by **thomasv** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:09 am

This is the og version with the Inspectah Deck(Rebel INS back then) in the end. In the album, his verse is cut out, I heard they said it was too long. RARE

"And even while we doing that, we try'nna get the Wu-Tang niggaz
Cuz I love them niggaz, I feel as though
They represent the east coast, how we represent the west coast
And I love them..."

Appreciated big time.

Always wanted to hear this.

"Got My Mind Made Up" probably is one of my favourite 2pac tracks ever.

inspectah deck's verse sounds kinda offbeat....and his flow doesn't match the beat.....i can see why they cut this.

props for posting it though

Hmm I question the authenticity of this track. Thats the exact same verse he spit for that X-Ecutioners joint "Ya'll Know The Name", and shit is just hella off-beat.

its real. I think on the relased version (or at least the one that made it to the mixtapes before the album dropped) you can hear Deck coming in before the track fades

it's real. i posted this last year with the story behind it.

suge didn't think deck was worthy because of his lack of popularity plus felt it felt more "east coast" ish with another wu member on.

he got cut but they did a poor job because everybody knows what "ins the rebel' means.

While the original version did in fact have Deck on it, the version posted is not the corrrect version, and it features a copy/paste Deck rhyme from another track, that's why it sounds offbeat.

This is the original:

They should've kept him on the track tho, he kills it.

:uload: the story

Funny i hear this,
i wanted to start a thread about songs that had shit in it out of nowhere.

example on this song at the end deck just saying shit when he has nothing to do with the song...

now i know he was originally on it!

1st mix is atrocious, 2nd one doesnt sound right either ive heard that verse before but cant remember which song

Yeah, this seems much more like the original version. Good looks

This is much better verse, and definitely fits the track almost perfectly

Redman still had the best verse

I dunno, I kinda like Meth on this too. Both had vicious verses.

Thanks for the stories behind this, peoples.

I thought the one i posted was the original one but then the original word that are cut are part of Inspectah Deck's verse. So the 2nd one is the real one.

CHER1 · Post by **CHER1** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 2:36 pm

ah deck murders it so heavy by far the best verse,
this is also one of my fav Pac songs ever

Ive never liked Redmans verse on this that much,always thought it was lazy

I don't post often here. But I had to speak up on this. Neither of these is the original version of GMMMU. It has not leaked and truthfully that version of the song has never been confirmed to exist. The rumor is ID re-used his cut verse. Folks have been cutting and pasting this for years.

Please explain how the original track has "Rebel INS" fading out then? The stories I got came directly from Deck's mouth. I mean do you really think it's rumors?

Can we get a re-up of the real og version with Deck please??

CHER1 · Post by **CHER1** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 10:13 am

the link above is still working.

i wouldnt of believed this either, but when you listen to it the verse fits perfectly to the adlibs that fade the song out

Ive heard this verse somewhere before though just cant put my finger on where

I don't know who's telling you what, but this isn't the original.
I asked someone with more knowledge on this. His direct quotes:

"while it is true that deck was on the og, so was rage. pac jumped on and they cut those two people. deck's adlibs were left in the lp outro. what this is is a mix that was done a few months back. deck used this same verse on a song that escapes my mind (with streetlife i believe), but it is out on vinyl with an instrumental so his vocals were genned, the beat looped, and his part re-added. this isn't the og, but more like a reconstruct of deck's verse."

"you can also add that if this was legit, why would deck's loud ass adlibs suddenly stop mid-verse where the lp version cuts off, and then they're used again in the outro (which makes no sense)."

The song is Common Denominator. You can find it on youtube.

I am not talking about the uploaded tracks. I didn't listen to what was provided and it seems like there are a few. I just know he was on the OG track and Suge wanted him removed.

My source is the people who have provided nearly every unreleased 2pac song since 1997. I don't see how anyone has got me on anything.

The song was originally a Dogg Pound song. It was recorded while 2pac was in jail. When he was released it was decided that it was 2pac's and he would be added and Deck and Lady of Rage would be bumped. Now the reasoning behind them being bumped is debatable. But I'm sure it had more to do with 2pac's popularity than anything else. It did appear on his album. And other songs were taken from DPG and given to 2pac.

So it's unlikely that 2pac and Deck were ever on the song at the same time. They could theoretically been mixed together at some point. But, considering how Death Row operated I doubt they wasted studio time mixing something that wouldn't be released.

Daz's Initiated is an example of what you're talking about.

Wow! thanks a lot for this!

This is a track i never thought i'd hear. i prefer the beat used for that radio spit that's been out for years, but damn, awesome to hear this original!

one of my favorite deck verses ever. Just a brilliantly constructed flow and every single line hits.

thanks again!
