Cradle 2 The Grave Question.

[Bobby Sands]

Why did they release the version that appeared on the album ahead of the OG?.The OG is far better.Was there a problem clearing the sample or sumthin?

interscope dilluted the thug life album down to achieve a less hardcore sound in the wake of cop killer and the rejection of gangsta rap in mainstream outlets.

 

[Morris]

I prefer the album version.

I know it was filtered down.But why not use Cradle 2 The Grave with the original beat.?Its a much better beat than the one that was released.

He already answered your question, the original beat sounded too hardcore. The retail on the other hand sounds more laid back.

Too hardcore?.No way,its a laid back funky kind of beat.

Apperantly Interscope didn't think so.

The beat that appeared on the album has a much darker feel to it.

i disagree. anyway, look at the hooks. the lp version has much more positive hooks than the prof jay and syke mix.

Album Version:
From Tha Cradle 2 Tha Grave, life ain't never been easy, livin' in the ghetto

OG Version:
Things wouldn't be so bad-if we got tha things that we never had

Both of them are kind of depressing and sad to me. Still, I didn't see a reason to redo the beat and the hook
