Background
Although the album is credited solely to 2Pac, the concert was in fact a joint show with Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. Throughout the first half of the performance, 2Pac—backed by his hip-hop clique, the Outlawz—takes the stage and is joined by R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo. In the second half, Snoop Dogg performs alongside Tha Dogg Pound and features West Coast singer Nate Dogg. For the show’s climax, 2Pac returns to the stage to perform his then-recent hit, "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted", alongside Snoop Dogg. [5]
Of the songs performed by 2Pac, three were unreleased at the time and would not see an official release until years after his death: "Troublesome", "Tattoo Tears", and "Never Call U Bitch Again". [6] Tha Dogg Pound also performed an unreleased track, "Me in Your World", which would later appear on Death Row Greatest Hits that same year. [7] [8]
Since its release, Tupac: Live at the House of Blues has sold over a million copies and is certified Platinum. [9]
The DVD and Blu-ray editions feature the full uncut concert and include five full-length music videos: "California Love (Remix)", "To Live & Die in L.A.", "Hit 'Em Up", "How Do You Want It", and "I Ain't Mad at Cha". [10]
