Runnin' (Dying to Live), by Tupac Shakur was the first released single from the posthumous soundtrack album Tupac: Resurrection (OST). The video contains interviews of both Tupac and Biggie. It is the only song from the album to feature a music video. The chorus is from Edgar Winter. The song won the award for "best soundtrack song" in 2003. It charted at #19 on The Billboard Hot 100. Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. originally recorded the song together in 1994. The song was originally produced by New York producer Easy Mo Bee and was called Runnin' (From The Police). The interview of Biggie that is in this song, was only recorded a couple of weeks before his death.
A line from Notorious B.I.G's 1st verse was used as the hook of Ludacris' Grew Up A Screw Up [1]
This song is particularly poignant as it features two later rivals (both of whom were murdered in suspicious circumstances) considering their futures and the general state of the ghettos and treatment of young blacks by the police.
