in November on the latest posthumous set from the rapper.
Tupac: Resurrection
– Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture
features the Eminem producedlead off single, "Runnin’ (Dying To Live)," which features verses
from both Pac and B.I.G.
"I got sent
a bunch of Tupac acappellas and went crazy with them," Eminem said. "’Runnin’
has a chorus by Edgar Winter, and as he’s singing it, you’ll hear Tupac coming
in, then Biggie comes in. It’s kinda like they’re just talking about each other
and the whole drama that was going on."
Eminem is featured
on "One Day At A Time," with The Outlawz and produced another new
song featured on the album, "Ghosts." Rounding out the set is "The
Realist Killaz," which features a verse by Pac and 50 Cent.
"The fact
that such stars as Eminem and 50 Cent wanted to be part of this project testifies
to Tupac’s significance and influence," Pac’s mom Afeni Shakur said. "It
was important too that Tupac come together with Biggie again, important for
fans of both men, important for the healing process, important for the future.
‘Resurrection’ represents truth, which is often painful, but it also represents
hope, which is something Tupac always had."
The soundtrack
for Tupac: Resurrection includes nine previously released songs and hits
stores November 11th.
