stones vibe remix (version 1)
stones vibe remix (version 2)
stop the gun fight (released in 98 by Trapp)
runnin (dyin 2 live)
runnin all out (Sonrize volume 1)


just me taking a stab at this?
there are a ton of diff runnin' mixes, and i explained them all one time. it's somewhere in the board archives.
the matw version is with the female reggae hooks.

Where is this One Day At A Time line from? I don't remember it being on the Spice 1's or Eminem's version anywhere :confused:

Though half our problems can be based on economical greed
A dying breed addicted to weed

Heh, I don't see it happening.

Too many ungrateful people throughout the years. I don't blame him for not wanting to put up with it.

It has ruined it for a lot of people like myself. I have nothing but respect for the man. He's been dedicated to to Pac for a long time and probably knows more about him than his own mother. I've gained a lot of knowledge through that man just by reading his posts.

We need to start saying "Thanks" instead of "More please?". If you want all this rare stuff, start showing some gratitude, or as he says, go out and find it yourself.
PREACH

BTW thanks dante :)

just a cut line from the released version to accomodate the chorus entry.

runnin was originally recorded for thug life's album. this version has a unique male reggae hook and slight lyric differences. most remarkably it features the resurrection verse. police references are uncensored.

runnin was later re-recorded by everyone but biggie for a matw release. this features a female reggae hook. police references are uncensored.

the track was finally released on promo cd and on one million strong in 1995 with a third version of the hooks, performed by a male reggae artist. police references are censored in all single and album versions.

trapp remixed it (very slightly) and also created an r& b version. in 1998 stonebridge remixed runnin, adding female singing hooks. police references are uncensored and censored on different mixes.

also in 1998, booty records released singles for runnin, making a shorter version of the track as stonebridge did. this track has the same male hooks as one million strong. police references are uncensored.

we all clear? i have all of these items so i can tell you definitively because i looked at the cd's and listened to them just now to be 100%.

runnin' mystery put to bed.

...i hear that krysis aka boutdaguns is trying to tell people that he has runnin og now and set up trades for it. let this serve as fair warning that he does NOT. i sent him this clip:

http://rapidshare.de/files/2696060/Runnin__From_The_Police.mp3.html

which he had asked me for for weeks to "do a mix" and now he's been trying to pass it off as a clip from his full version. this is a short snippet of the hook, and not the full deal as he wants people to believe.

some people, i swear. instead of telling lies and making shit up, use that energy for something positive so you're not a fucking liar. be proud of your actions. they shape who you are.
