“I think 'Still Ballin' (Nitty Remix)' was one of the first Pac songs I listened to and it just bumps.” Album of the Year · 2 years ago

The Nitty Remix is defined by its hard-hitting, early-2000s production that perfectly complements 2Pac's aggressive vocal delivery. While the original version (the "How We Do Remix") is respected by purists, the Nitty version became the definitive radio and club hit.

The "Still Ballin (Nitty Remix)" remains a staple of 2Pac’s posthumous catalog. It successfully modernized his voice without losing the raw, confrontational energy that made him an icon. It is a rare example of a posthumous remix that feels like a natural collaboration rather than a forced update.

The "Still Ballin (Nitty Remix)" is often hailed as a standout track on 2Pac's seventh posthumous album, Better Dayz (2002). Produced by Frank "Nitty" Pimentel, the song transformed an unreleased recording from 2Pac's prolific mid-90s studio sessions into a high-energy anthem featuring West Coast rapper Trick Daddy.

: Trick Daddy provides a gravelly, energetic bridge and verse that bridges the gap between 90s West Coast rap and the early-2000s Dirty South sound. Critical Reception
