it’s crazy this was uploaded 15 years ago and recorded in the studio about 28 years back. all you can say is there are levels to the game that few will ever grasp
That's hip hop at its best by the most talented MC that ever held a mic and who paved the way to what that genre of music has become. Nuff said, now back to this bad ass track from way back! RIP 2PAC!
@@montanagior2848 no way the og is a lot better the fakeness of the beat with pacs voice is terrible on the album version. Isnt that jazze phe on the beat?
This is dope i don't know how pac didnt like it but its shows his level of greatness he wanted perfection but this definitely is one of his best tracks no question rest in peace too the legend 🙏
I’ve been a pac fan since 93 after keep ya head up and never heard this whole song! Just the two first two verses were on the bootleg cd’s they sold at berryessa flea market and the hit factory in east San Jose in the late 90s 😂📀👀👌🏽🔥🎶
This song ain't the same to me without the Martin Lawrence tag from the old Makaveli bootlegs... "You can't cook it, I don't eat it, don't ask me no more!" Guess you gotta be old as Fuck to remember that
@@Igetsitin89 I found the book online where u can read it. I'll post the link in another comment. Here's what Jonny J said : "Tupac and I really didn't have that problem, but it was open air always in case we needed to. He and I never really had any discrepancies about any songs though, never had an argument about a record. There was only one song we did together that we both hated-we hated the SHIT out of it. Its called 'Fair Exchange', and let me tell you, nobody knows this story. That was the song Tupac and I did not like-and it was originally done a different way-but we hated the record together when it was recorded. We honestly looked at each other, and Pac said 'Do you know that shit was wack as hell?!' And I looked at him and said 'Pac, you're ass is wack too!' So we both got to look at each other, and say 'That was a fucked-up record we did.' I know lyrically, if you listen to it now, its probably not as bad as you think, but back when we recorded it, that song we hated together. It was a forced issue, we had another guy sing the hook that was garbage, it was pure trash. And we were up there letting the guy sing the hook, like we accepted it like it was great. We were so tired by that point in the day, that we were both very passive, like 'Yeah, that came out good.' Knowing fucking well it was horrible. I think that was the shittiest fucking session we ever had, because we worked up till 4 or 5 in the morning, and it was one of those 'late-nighters'. And I knew it was either that we were too exhausted, and tried to drink a little Hennessey with it, and
Fun fact: Johnny J said after the production of Fair Exchange to 2pac; "Pac, what the fuck is this?" And Pac replied: "Man this is the worst shit i ever made".
damn i never knew that. he prob didnt like that it sounded like a nintendo beat, but little did he realize his entire generation could relate to that. and the chorus and vocals made it a more solid song. such a dope beat though imo. all the little extra stuff and the way it was composed just made it perfect
this original pac music demonstrates that eminem producing Tupac's later music-was a terrible mistake. you will notice that all of the white washed remixes to pac's music sucks. And pac's original, un tampered work is the best
This is my shit BOY I really hope they show his political poetic side and not just his death row days I be saying a lot of people aren't real PAC fans there death row fans Smh
@@cmitchii ye i know daisy lady its the song but i Mean the og one from pacs song nobody put this out you know they put every og song beats of pac in RUclips but only this is missing
@@strahinjazivkovic1842 that is not true at all. The estate has almost all songs from pac. They even sued people for footage of pac. Daz and a few other people still have some songs with 2pac

When ppl say Pac wasn’t a great lyricist, they just don’t know.
🔥🔥🔥
real
Fair Exchange ain't no robbery. I'm still rocking to this song in 2023. Pac was truly THE G.O.A.T,!
real
this mans flow is untouchable
Pac didn't even like this song and this is the bomb 💣 lol! That's how great he was and still is! Greatest of all time!
How uno he didn’t like it?
@@huncefromdablocks2081 Him and his producer didn't really like that song, Idk who said it a long time ago, maybe Johnny J.
Really?? 😔 I can see him not liking it
He's not an asshole
Lt Hutton said it in a Vlad interview I think
This song is really good and Pac hated it damn he really is the goat
For Pac to not like this song too tough he lyrically slaughtered this shit😂
The realest to ever touch the microphone.2020 still bumping all this gangsta shit
only the real one's know about the Fair Xchange!!!! This the realest
So true !
💯💪🏽
Can I relike this comment please.truest shit ever.heavy rotation
Hell yeah....
Facts!

Some songs don't need remixes, especially this one.
Exactly!
99% of his posthumos discography is bull sht due to production, i only listen the og versions
You can't spell Impact without pac. The realist and greatest to ever do it.
Great sample from Everlasting Bass. Classic 2pac song.
god bless you, was looking for this comment
I thought it was from games people play by sweet g? No?
DaRedAnt those 2 songs and other songs sample from 7th Wonders Daisey Lady it's on Who sample it.
I remember when I first heard this!! All his shit go hard . Never will there be another like pac!! " Mac "said it..........................one
I feel like only real Tupac fans know this song
The Way He Comes In The 2nd Verse Dope Af❤
💯‼️
Every verse he has is legendary. Every single one! There is not a Tupac verse that when you listen to it you’re like… naaaa this ain’t it..
Pac hits a switch when get do his 2nd verses
I’ve been a pac fan since 93 after keep ya head up and never heard this whole song! Just the two first two verses were on the bootleg cd’s they sold at berryessa flea market and the hit factory in east San Jose in the late 90s 😂📀👀👌🏽🔥🎶
This that boss playa shit right here 🔥🔥🔥
best version
I'm still enjoying many songs I never heard yet helps with daily struggles of real life's ups and downs rip tupoc lives n hearts of men and women 💯
I wish he would have released this, but understand why he didn't. He genuinely loved and cared for women.
This version is so underrated..
I was today years old when I found this jewel 💎 thanku Makaveli Thug Life for Life
Thank you so much for uploading this piece of art .. R.i.P
This is proper mixed down og version classic
This song ain't the same to me without the Martin Lawrence tag from the old Makaveli bootlegs... "You can't cook it, I don't eat it, don't ask me no more!" Guess you gotta be old as Fuck to remember that
I remember
Yes then outlaws come on after that so raw
This version was always 🔥🔥🔥 idk why they had to make other beats over it.
No bro the one with Mya is the one. Not even the Jazze Pha one but the remix with Mya bangs especially if Uu got a system in your ride
I don't know about back then but in 2022 this shi slappin! 100%
sounds like a classic mega man theme song
Johnny J said he & 2Pac both hated this song the most lol

This is one of my favourite tracks. Bless.
GEAH!!! Fair Exchange,,,,,,,,,,,, thx's HOMIE. I'M 2PAC✨ Forever
Classic !!! Damn I wish Pac and Johnny was still alive...R.I.P. brothers ! Pac definitely would have had a no.1 hit with this one
2022lets goo!!! Much love y'all😁🤘🏾💯🌎🥃
Need this version Apple Music 😤
The Instrumental Is Amazing
I listen to this song everyday
Fuck man I’m loving the tune in the background and the verses. The chorus not so much. And damn, that second verse kicked in smooth af
This beat is so underrated
Je découvre ce titre que maintenant et y m'a retourné le cerveau 😍😍🤩🤩🤗🤗.
De la fusée ✊🙏🙏
1 pensée pour 2pac always forever
Tru to the heart. Thug Life ❤
Rocking this in 2024
Fun fact: Johnny J said after the production of Fair Exchange to 2pac; "Pac, what the fuck is this?" And Pac replied: "Man this is the worst shit i ever made".
Yup he didn't like the beat...he was officially tripping lol classic shit ..just needed to be sprinkled with few things and mastered
Technically this a practice track that 2Pac did the way 2Pac saw it
damn i never knew that. he prob didnt like that it sounded like a nintendo beat, but little did he realize his entire generation could relate to that. and the chorus and vocals made it a more solid song. such a dope beat though imo. all the little extra stuff and the way it was composed just made it perfect
Haha 🤣
damn i think this track is 🔥 n Pacs flow is crazy
This song hit 💯🔥🔥🔥
This sht better than wat came out on better dayz 👌👌
Yooo, I wanted to be this man. R.I.P OG
So much better than the remix
way way better than the remixes
@Kam Mike Hell yeah
Actually, Jazze Pha remix was better than OG. The latter’s chorus was off-ish.
Shyt lil wayne killed the remix to me it was called Hardbody
this original pac music demonstrates that eminem producing Tupac's later music-was a terrible mistake. you will notice that all of the white washed remixes to pac's music sucks. And pac's original, un tampered work is the best
Em trashed it the fuck up. Jazze Pha done some good
This wasn't one of the songs that Em did
Badass track from way back lol
Justin Adkins badass track from way back but still badass today
2022 still jammin
