“I Ain’t Mad at Cha” is Pac’s tribute to the friends and family that he knew before becoming famous. He speaks on losing touch with certain people from his past, and also being treated differently after achieving his success… but overall, he ain’t mad. Daz Dillinger used the melodies from “A Dream” by DeBarge to construct the beat, and Danny Boy provided the soulful vocals for the hook. 2Pac wrote on a deeper level than his peers, this record is a great example of that.
