    In light of the death of Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur, DJ King Assassin shares an alternate cut of "Dear Mama."

    Thursday afternoon, Tupac's DJ, DJ King Assassin, shared the "original" version of "Dear Mama," which he has apparently been sitting on since he attended the Me Against the Worldrecording sessions twenty years ago. In light of the death of Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur, he believed the time had come to share the track with the world.

    Below, DJ King Assassin explains the differences between the official version and his newly released original version:

    “The original version of ‘Dear Mama’ was far different than the version that was released, as far as the hook was constructed. Originally, the hook was a sample of a song from the legendary rapper and friend of both of ours named Yo-Yo, from Ice Cube’s [Da] Lench Mob. The sample was ‘Wouldn’t be a d--- thang without a woman,’ which was taken from the original song from Ice Cube’s ‘This Is A Man’s World,’ with the scratching done, of course, by yours truly DJ King Assassin. The day after we had finished up on everything we were in Echo Sound in L.A. when Tupac comes in the studio very upset and proceeds to explain to us that we had to take out Yo-Yo’s part because a person by the name of Pat Charbonet would not give us the clearance to use that part in the song, so we had no choice but to take it out and that’s where even the Richard Pryor excerpt, which you will hear, is completely off the released version of the song.”

    Ive had this for a few years now, but the Anthony Hamilton remix that was released on the Thug & Life compilations was fantastic.

    Actually, I have heard this before. I love Anthony's part of it but I don't really like the beat when Pac is rapping.
