Recorded in Japan
Article says :Recorded 	1996 in Tokyo, Japan. Is that true? It's unsourced and better be removed until a source shows up. --Witchinghour 00:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It is true, Johnny "J" confirmed it License2Kill 01:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Johnny who?? where's the link?! I need to see the actual quote. Nonetheless, I have to say, I appreciate your personal dedication to this article. --Witchinghour 14:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually it was recorded in Can Am Studios in Los Angeles. Also, he never made sequels to the song. There was a different version which is the original version of the song and not a sequel. -K
 * Your claim was not sourced either. It had to go. --Witchinghour 19:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

There is a hit em up II and a hit em up III. Both of which are available on the internet. However part III is short less then 2 minutes. However ITS VERY UNLIKELY it will ever be officialy released Angelocasio 12:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

There is proof of an alternative version. In this interview with Vibe http://www.vibe.com/content/tupac-talks-hit-em-vs-who-shot-ya-pg-2 he raps the original version of the song(or at least, his specific verse) a Capella. 220.239.200.42 (talk) 15:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Junior MAFIA reference
A comment: the article mentions that the "take money" was aimed at Junior MAFIA's "Get Money", which is true. Shouldn't this article also further connect it to the fact that they both sample the same song, and "Get Money" was a radio hit for the MAFIA at the time? I think that further helps give the reader an idea of the climate at that time. Khal 14:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

What about Suge Knight?
Like I said, what about Suge Knight? The guy who instigated all of this shit? The only person who stood to gain from all of this bullshit?

All Eyes On Me
Was Hit em up from the album All Eyes On Me or was it a non-album single? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MRivera25 (talk • contribs) 18:15, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

"The song is widely considered by the American hip hop community as the greatest "diss song" ever recorded due to its explicit lyrical content and the seriousness of violent intent by Shakur and his colleagues towards their competitors.[2]"

The link goes to a short article (really a top 10 list of songs) written by Marlow Stern. The claim, however, is "American hip hop community" regards this song as "the greatest diss song ever recorded." So we have an article written by one person to substantiate the claim that the entire American hip hop community (possibly numbering in the millions) regards this song as the greatest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.143.139 (talk) 03:37, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
