the original was released on GH, and it's also the one you hear on the radio and music video, as far as I know.
If I am mistaken, someone please correct me.

 

[alleyezonme12]

it was on the 'how do u want it' single originaly

 

[JarG]

they should put 1st ver on all eyez on me and remix on a single IMO

 

[Ricardo_Brown]

Yes but it's shorter than the original.

There are two music videos, one remix, one original, entirely different concepts.

 

[Ricardo_Brown]

yea thought so,, cuz my cd has both the remix and the short radio version

 

[nail_polish]

did they ever release the full original with troutman doing the outro...the longest i ever heard was with 2pac saying 'let's show them how we do it westside cause u and i know its the best side.' then it fades...

Wasnt cali love released as a sinlge and the remix on AEOm, to increase sales of the single?

 

[Maverick-old-account]

i heared the reason it wasnt on aeom was something to do with dre not wanting it on.... like cuz the track was origionally meant for him or something.. dont kno for sure tho

 

[Butt Rubber]

I assumed maybe they wanted the single to sell so more people could hear Hit Em Up (and since it sold 2 million strong, the plan worked)

Ok here's the breakdown.

Dre originally had the track for an album he was putting together on Deathrow. Suge knew it was a hit so when Pac got out of jail, Suge had Pac put on the record. The original version, the one you hear in the music video with Chris Tucker was released on the "How Do You Want It" single. You can still buy the single in most record stores. If you can't find it, then here it is on Ebay.
