Another possibility is that he might was not biologically able to have kids.īetween all these doubts we have a guarantee, this song. This song was mixed and released posthumously, one of many songs released by 2Pac’s mom before the recent litigation broke out between her and Death Row over the rights to 2Pac’s voluminous unreleased versesĢPac never had a child during his life even though he really wanted one, this happened due to a lot of factors he was often busy writing new songs in the studio, shooting videos and touring, so the time he could dedicate to his family would’ve been really small and maybe he didn’t want to be yet another absent father. The unborn child is fictitious and metaphoric In the song Tupac speaks to his hypothetical unborn child, relating stories of his own life and advising the child to avoid the troubles that he himself has faced.ĢPac writer the song with Michael JacksonĢPac did not, in fact, have an unborn fetus when he was killed (although he was engaged). The song samples Michael Jackson’s 1989 hit “Liberian Girl” (from Bad, 1987), but is set at a higher tempo and features a female vocal backing track by Tena Jones (formerly of 4th Avenue Jones. The accompanying music video received moderate airplay though it was less successful than the lead single from the album, the title track. “Letter 2 My Unborn” is a song by Tupac Shakur, released as a posthumous single from his album Until the End of Time in 2001. ![]()
