well, he was killed years before the vsti thing started to happen so my strong bet is he would have been using the usual suspects - mpc, akai, 808.

did tupac use anything ? - surely his producer is the man to ask after - tupac will have been asked ot just to rap at the mike

could be wrong tho

What he (or his producer/engineer) used is irrelevant really... Whatever is at hand will work quite well in general.

ttl agree with u.. i've read an interview of tupac's mother.. in the article, she said tupac hadn't stopped to make new songs after release from prison (or the gunfire assumed badboy did) .. so i was curios that...

I'm not a hip hop hater, but I never did get why tupac was so popular. California was a great song for the beats and stuff....but why did he have to sample that Bruce Hornsby song....NOOOOOO..

really I don't understand why he was such a hit.

He could evoke an emotional response. Are you familiar with his early work?

He was like a third of a six-pack, right?

tupac didnt make beats....and didnt have a certain microphone...he was only a rapper...find out what dre and kurupt were using back then, because they produced and made the beats for 90% of his stuff...

Tupac was a Prophet and a Poet

Tupac had many producers, check out Daz from DPG he produced All Eyez On Me, he probably mentions his old gear in some interviews.

Daz uses (among other things) an MPC 3000. Dre uses five of them.

this is especially true in regard to hip hop, i would say. i mean, it's 99 percent about samples, so find a decent soft- or hardware sampler and there you go. now, hopefully no one starts this mpc-groove-vodoo-talk. you can quite easily get nice "mpc-like" swinging grooves for instance with the groove functions of energyxt or guru and other vsti's and sequencers. hm, why i am stating this? i don't know i'm kind of sick of mpc-groove-vodoo-talk.

well, whatever

anyone know what stuffs tupac liked ?
