Tupac: Resurrection is a posthumus 2Pac album which was released by Amaru Entertainment as the soundtrack for the 2003 documentary Tupac: Resurrection. The documentary covered the life and death of the legendary rapper, as the soundtrack aims to do also, to complement the film. The album adds a few new productions to a broad sampling of the rapper’s early, underexposed recordings.

Afeni Shakur, who became the caretaker of her son’s legacy following his murder in 1996, makes some risky decisions which prove to be wise decisions for the albums direction and ultimate reception by impatiently waiting Tupac fans, desperate for more unreleased gems. For one, she outsources the new productions to a trustworthy producer on a hot streak, Eminem, who works his magic on a trio of tracks: “Ghost,” “One Day at a Time (Em’s Version),” whic Em drops a verse in and “Runnin’ (Dying to Live),” a fascinating collabo between 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. that emphasizes the tragedy of their respective murders rather than the drama of their rivalry. Afeni then compiles quite a few previously released yet seldom-heard songs from 2Pac’s early years, practically all of them career standouts, and finishes the album off with “The Realist Killaz,” an extremely popular mixtape collabo between 2Pac and 50 Cent which contains an unreleased 2Pac verse, originally from the song ‘Let’z Fight’ featuring One Nation, now mixed with a verse from 50 Cent as he disses rapper Ja Rule for trying to impersonate Tupac.

The risks Afeni took rightly paid off as the album was very well recieved by 2Pac loyalists, casual listeners and chart goers alike. The album sold more than 420,000 copies in its first week and hit #2 in the US Billboard 200 album chart and was certified Platinum on December 16th 2003, only a month after its release. The first single to be released from the soundtrack was “Runnin (Dying To Live)” by 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., who originally recorded the song together in 1994. The song was originally produced by New York producer Easy Mo Bee and was called “Runnin’ (From tha Police)”, however Eminem produces the version of that song for this release. For the chorus of the song Em uses Edgar Winter’s song “Dying to Live”, which was edited to a higher pitch for this song. The interview of Biggie used towards the end of the song was………..
