https://www.vladtv.com – E.D.I. Don of The Outlawz spoke to VladTV exclusively about recording “Hit ‘Em Up” with the late Hussein Fatal, whom he says amped up 2Pac to go harder on the song after hearing his verse. The West Coast emcee also revealed that 2Pac didn’t really flip Biggie’s “Get Money” beat on the diss track because “Hit Em Up” was premeditated while Pac was in jail. Evidently, Pac told Faith about his plans, and she then went and shared it with Biggie; who was smart enough to use the same sample and release a record before Pac.

Digging deeper into the recording experience for the song, E.D.I. Don spoke about the competitive spirit in the studio and how he took a battle rap approach to the track, including calling out Lil’ Cease. The Outlawz emcee explained that there was nothing personal between him and Cease when he recorded the track, and E.D.I. Don revealed that they sit and laugh about the verse today.
