Tupac's Vocals Loyal to the Game

[Cleverwon]

Anyone who listened to this album probably noticed that a voice sounding like Tupac's says shit on some tracks like "Drop that shit Em", or "Big Ballin ass nigga named Trice" or "G-Unit in this muthafucka". For anyone out there thinking otherwise, TUPAC IS FUCKIN DEAD, OK? Now that we got that out the way, how did they do that? My first thought was that they got a nigga that sounds like tupac to say those lines. But i was reading online that Eminmem manipulated his voice with some program (i find that hard to believe). Anyone know how they did this? I also find it hard to believe that they just took him saying "g" and "unit" and blended it together. Anyway that cant be true because how do you explain him saying "Trice"; its not even a fuckin real word. But Im rambling on now, so ill just shut the fuck up...

hmm if hey didnt use someone who sounds like him, am sure they just sliced shit up. like trice, they probably got a word from pac saying 'twice' and a word saying 'try' and did some shit with that. same technique for the other words too, like g-unit.

Yes Clev, this hard to belive. I was just discussing that with a friend of mine earlier this week. She is pissed about it.

LOL, she's pissed? Why?

Tupac is her mentor and she feels like the hiphop scene right now has too many rapper's that talk crap. For her, Tupac as the deepest Lyrics and she cant bear the thought of hearing G-UNiiiiiit or Eminem on his album. She said that People has no respect to the man on his grave lol. She said that is not fair, because Pac cant do much to defend himself. I wonder what Afeni thinks about it...

yea it could have been cut up even ive managed to chop stuff up so it sounds like its saying something different so id imagine with all the gear they got there they could get it pretty good ! e.g. fabolous - breathe, the vocal doesnt actually say anything but with a bit of playing about it sounds like breathe !
Or you can get voice profilers that can take vocals from people and create a program that will sound like the person and get it to say woteva they like !

yeah it's real easy to do... i've done it before... haha...

i think thats SO FUCKING DISRESPECTFUL to have Pac sayin G-Unnniiitttt on a record.

what if Pac didnt like G-Unit if he was still alive today? they are just presuming he'd be on their side.

sAfE.

Yea, I can see that. Afeni must approve of it cuz Eminem got them from her if I'm not mistaken. But Pac definitely can't defend himself, so who's to say he would even do a track with these people if he was still alive.

I have a software package that actually manipulates the frequencies, pitch, etc to imitate the "voice" of the target waveform into a new file.


example. I have Bush saying "I am George Dubbya Bush. I am president. America. Al Qaida" and some other words, just to get a sample of his vocal properties. I also have a file with someone who KINDA sounds like bush saying "I have compiled weapons of mass destruction, and I will not hesitate to use them against the people of the united states of america"... it then immitates the original and makes the 2nd voice sound remarkably like the first one.

Kinda like how they did it on the intro to Xzibit's "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

i think pac would have beef wit g unit since suge and dre dont like each other...i might be wrong thats if pac was still wit the row.....i like pac but they need to stop remakin his shit...there messin up his songs

 

[afriquedeluxe]

man it is disrespectful man really it is. you dont see dudes getting elvis to do new songs or some shit like that. they basically just remixing pacs lyrics and putting new beats on them.

There are two different types, one is http://www.e-vir.com/documents.asp Look for the vocal imitator. It's kinda janky... Like comparing Hip Hop e-Jay to Reason.

There IS a better one, I need to go home first. I dunno the name. Let me get back to you on that one.
