The good old days weren't meant to last long. Amaru almost NEVER has problems with sample clearing, and they could easily do it if they wanted to. They just think that some beats sound too old, considering they were recorded ten years ago. From a marketing standpoint, that's true... just imagine in 1996 if we heard Pac rhyming over beats from Kurtis Blow's older albums. As I've stated before, I understand what they're trying to do, but they always seem to pick the wrong "modern" producers, too many of whom end up providing a wack ass beat that is far from their top five... odd, since almost anyone who is fortunate enough to be asked to work on a Pac album (who had never worked with Pac in the past) would give it 110%. Clearly this applies to Loyal to the Game and the Untouchable Swizz Beats remix, more so than previous albums. Plus Amaru tries to put more modern artists. While I disagree with this, I understand why they do it, but like beats, they fuck up when handpicking people. First of all, they replace people with the Outlawz, who are really nobodies and without their big guns (Kadafi R.I.P., Fatal is more into doing his own thing). SKG is a nobody and will never sell, Lil' Mo was past her 15 minutes of fame doing Ja Rule hooks, Trick Daddy was also past his 15 minutes as well, Mya was well beyond her 15 minutes, etc. But T.I. was actually an interesting choice (since in Changed Man I felt he fit it pretty well, plus it was before he really blew up) and Tyrese did a good job on the Never Call U Bitch Again chorus.

So bottom line, it can only be 1996 for so long, hence the retail releases being farther and farther away from OG as time passes... first it's different beats, then different choruses, then different guest artists, then different tempos (hopefully starting and ending on the same album). While us "true fans" want the OGs, from a marketing standpoint, Amaru has to appeal to the masses. While they might not do an A+ job at it, that's what they're trying to do. And until either five million people want OGs (and not just a few thousand people on random message forums) or the trend in hip-hop goes toward older-sounding mid-'90s era beats, shit's gonna be remixed.

ya but why not use the same samply maybe? or same melody and just update it.I kno new songs sampling songs pac sampled and updating it.

I was wonderin' dat. They don't want the old sound of the sound so why don't they just polish it up like they did with Thug Style, Open Fire, Who Do You Believe In, They Don't Give A Fuck About Us, Fuck Em' All, Good Life, Nuthin But Love, Pain, Military Minds, Lasonesleft, Letter 2 Tha President, Teardrops & Closed Caskets...They got the tools to do this with the new album, but they just forgot that 2pac actual rapped on that that beat
