For all the old fans saying this, you should feel fucking stupid having this pointed out. For the new fans I don’t blame you, you’re just ignorant.
In 2003 the documentary Tupac: Resurrection was being made and Eminem reached out to Afeni Shakur to produce a song for the album. She agreed and he released the song Runnin’ featuring Tupac and Biggie, with a beautiful Edgar Winter sample. I attached the song.
This was such a success that Afeni Shakur gave Eminem Tupac’s unreleased material. She trusted him with her son's entire unreleased material and he in return wrote her a letter of appreciation, heart felt and available to read online. He then used those verses to produce an entire album for her estate and took absolutely no money for the entire project. It all went to her. Its Tupacs 9th album, called Loyal To The Game.
Lets put that into perspective, that’s a 13 track album produced entirely by Eminem for absolutely no money whatsoever. A year after the Eminem show, during his prime. All 13 tracks produced by Eminem.
You might remember the song linked below, it was the lead single of the album: Ghetto Gospel. Maybe you don’t. How about you stop thinking he’s some embarrassment to hip hop and actually understand what he’s done for it.
