I've never heard that Murderahh song before and I really like it.

That video is pretty incredible too. It's really well shot with some dope angles and transitions, and of course the subject matter is gully as all fuck.

LOL @ the throwing the baby out the window.

Fantastic video, and I too want a comp of what these guys have put out.

Good looks Magneto.

Fun fact: Live Squad got into a brawl with Double XX Posse at the 1992 New Music Seminar. The fight spilled out into the street and in the melee, members of the Pharcyde and Zhigge got lumped up.

UBSscientist · Post by **UBSscientist** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:55 pm

I'm glad I came across this thread becaue I have a fresh compilation to contribute. For as much of a dedicated underground head as I am, 2Pac is my favorite MC of all time. But in true school fashion, I feel that his best stuff was on his first 2 albums and all the unreleased stuff from his early years up until about 93 or 94. I particularly LOVE every song that he has ever did with Stretch. I feel that the combination of 2Pac and Stretch is one of the best rap duos ever, especially when they get down on a dope ass track produced by Live Squad (which is most of them)!

This is my definitive collection of Live Squad material from 1988 - 1995

There are some 2pac and Nas tracks that were produced by Live Squad which did not feature any vocals from any members of the Live Squad which I omitted from this compilation. There are however, a few tracks of 2pacs included here which only have Stretch doing a hook, or some backing vocals.

It has most if not all of the stuff that was in Magneto's original share plus a bit more.

I divided the tracks between 5 folders which are:

1. Game of Survival Soundtrack
2. Troopin It b/w We Aint Havin It
3. Unreleased & Misc 2Pac Shit Ft. Live Squad
4. Official releases from 2Pac's albums of tracks which feature Live Squad on 'em
5. Heartless b/w Murderahh CDS & Heartless b/w Murderahh Promo CD rip

Then there is a track which is not in a folder called Family of The Underground from Digital Underground's 2nd LP which Stretch has a verse on

My favorite folder is the one with Unreleased & Misc 2Pac Shit Ft. Live Squad. It has some of my favorite hip hop songs of all time which are:
Crooked Nigga Too
Holla If You Hear Me
Thug 4 Life

Most of the unreleased tracks in that folder are in decent quality indeed, however there are a small handful that are not so great, but good to have none the less. It is also worth mentioning that some of these jams are rare.

Some highlights are:
So Many Tears (original and a remix version)
Enemies With Me
Everything You Owe
Danger Time
Who Do U Luv
Judgement Day
The Heat (From a Ron G Mixtape) Featuring Keith Murray
Runnin From The Police (2 versions)
House of Pain

A quick comment about the song House Of Pain - the MCs one this song are 2Pac, Stretch and Biggie Smalls. I remember reading somewhere (don't recall exactly where) that these 3 MCs where the original line up for 2Pac's crew called Thug Life. It is believed that the 3 of them have recorded "several" tracks which remain unreleased. Frankly the prospect of hearing these songs one day is the ultimate thing imaginable for me in the hip hop universe.

If anyone has any information on tracks by the original Thug Life crew, please post it! I'm interested in hearing everything from legit info to rumors (as long as the rumors are distinctly noted as such).
Also if anyone knows of any or has any more Live Squad music, share that shit!
Also if anyone has got better quality versions of any of the songs I upped, please share that as well.

When it comes to giving credit for this compilation, it was acquired from quite a few different sources. I ripped some tracks from my own CDs, got some stuff from various different blogs, torrents and mixtapes.

The compilation is in 2 seperate zip files. The first one is 164.5 mb

the second one is 182.4 mb

Pac only recorded 3 tracks with Biggie

House Of Pain (which was recorded for Ready 2 Die but left off)

Runnin ( Originally recorded for Thug Life Vol 1 and appeared on a promo cassette for the album. For some reason it was left off the retail release and Pac recorded a alternate verse and intended to release it on Me Against The World then he out with Biggie before it was released).

Lets Get It On (released on the Eddie F & The Untouchables CD).

It is a possibility that you are right about that. However, I have heard from a few different sources who believe that a few other tracks exist which still remain unreleased. I happened to subscribe to this belief. The trio of Pac, Biggie and Stretch was a friendship which was not as short lived as some heads may realize, here are a few facts which I consider to support the idea's plausibility:
- There is video footage of Pac doing backup vocals for Biggie during stage performances and vice versa.
- Stretch still performed with Biggie on stage after 2Pac was in jail.
- Various interviews where 2Pac mentions details of stuff him and Biggie did together as homies. ie - letting Big crash at his crib, hooking Big up with bitches, catching a charge for posession of multiple unlicensed firearms which belonged to Biggie and Junior Mafia.
- Pac received a gift watch from Puffy which I was somewhere in the range of $20-30 thousand dollars.
- 2Pac's recording ethic is damn near inhuman, Being that the three of them were real tight homies, it makes a ton of sense that they would have recorded at least a few more songs than the three we already know about.

So again, I don't have any concrete empirical evidence that more songs exist, but it is my belief that they do, ya dig?

Piece yall

P.S. - I'm curious about what you guys think of this compilation. What are your favorite jams?
