This is my version of jankovic's remix of This Life I Lead by Tupac. Special thanks to him for permitting me to use his mix.
I completely re-toned the track to lean more on rap rock instead of hip hop Tupac style. Tupac's rhythm is always interesting, as I found out while learning the vocal track. You can fit more modern beats to it and the whole track would sound decent in the end. I grabbed a caustic project and applied the guitar riff I was working on to this track and it worked well IMO. Did a couple of tweaks and finally came up with a version I'm happy with. Enjoy!
Edit: Modified the guitars to sound less stingy
Added SoundCloud track. Note that the .caustic file isn't the same as the one on SC. The reason being the changes aren't really that noticeable.

Nice. ;-) Good thing about rap is that you can mix vocals with any melody and genre you want. You don't have to worry about voice. It has just (non melody) words. With singing is very different. You must know everything.
I have some ideas about my nu metal/alternative tracks, but i guess i'm not motivated for final steps. I want to remix Linkin Park. (Hybrid Theory or Meteora era)
Check out my new track.

Thanks!
I see that your remix is on Soundcloud. Did you receive any strike or something for copyright infringement?
And how are you extracting vocals from tracks?

Nope, i didn't receive any strike. This is free remix, not for sale or anything else. Also i have remix of Eminem track on Soundcloud. Over 1200 views on SC. Nobody ask me to remove track. So i guess, as i post remixes for free copyright issues will not bother me. Also these songs are old. Both released in 2002.
Check out my new track.

Okay. Well, thinking about it, many 2pac fans would be furious anyway if I put this on SC. 2pac is a full on rap artist. They don't wanna hear a remix done by a Rage Against the Machine enthusiast. Lol
Thanks, man. I appreciate your input. Oh, and I'll be waiting for you Linkin Park remixes. I'm sure it would be great. I also like their first few albums before they went mostly electronic.

I must finish my 2Pac 20-th year anniversary track first. After that i will mess around with Linkin Park. I already have vocals putted in caustic. ;) But i don't have motivation. Song is "breaking the habbit" And don't worry about SC , people love to hear something different. I enjoyed mix, and i am some kind of freak fan. Ahahahah
Check out my new track.

Haha! Okay.
If I may request a song, please remix Faint. I really love that song.
