Sampling 1983 song 'A Dream' by DeBarge, the track was actually recorded on the same day Tupac was released from prison in 1995. The track, which samples Elton's 1981 song 'Indian summer', features the rapper discussing social politics over powerful production. Pac's only UK No.1 single came courtesy of a posthumous collaboration with Elton John in 2005.

The rappers dream about a hypothetical heaven dedicated to thugs and gangsters, on the track taken from his posthumous 2002 album 'Better Dayz'. Tupac showed his soulful, introspective side on acoustic classic 'Thugz Mansion' featuring Nas. His crew The Outlawz also provide hard-fitting feature verses. The final track from Tupac’s fifth album ‘The Don Killuminati’, hears the rapper torn between the street life and salvation, over chilling graveyard bells and a heavy bass line. Intended as a response to Biggie's 'Who Shot Ya', Pac displayed his signature aggression on the track. The pair rap about Tupac's adopted city of California over some classic bass-lead production.Īfter being shot in 1994, Tupac retaliated by releasing one of the biggest diss tracks in Hip-Hop history, directed at Biggie Smalls and The Junior Mafia.

Dre for one of the most iconic Hip-Hop songs of the 1990s. Tupac linked up with fellow Deathrow label-mate Dr.
