"Untouchable" is a posthumous single by Tupac Shakur & Krayzie Bone from his album Pac's Life. Remixed by Swizz Beatz, it was the street single released opposite the lead single, Pac's Life. The single debuted #91 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and #21 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles sales on the December 2, 2006 issue of Billboard magazine. Tupac's verse has some similar lyrics from other songs that include; Drunk freestyle, Killuminati and the unreleased song War Gamez. Tupac often at times used lyrics from unreleased tracks in order to make an updated track sound better. "Killuminati" was recorded in 8th of July in 1996 for The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, but didn't make the final cut, and was released in 1999 in remixed form on Still I Rise.
