Tupac Shakur's Poetry Celebrated In Music On Long-Awaited CD, The Rose, Vol. 2, To Be Released on September 20, 2005
On September 20th, a number of hip-hop and R&B’s top artists will take a brand new approach to using Tupac Shakur’s poetry in song, paying tribute to the late rapper in his own words on The Rose, Vol. 2 – Music Inspired by Tupac’s Poetry. Unlike its predecessor, The Rose, Vol. 2 is not a spoken word album – instead, each musical artist has taken inspiration from one of the poems in Tupac’s The Rose that Grew from Concrete book and used portions of the poems to build their own original songs, with Tupac’s poetry serving as their muse.
Released by Amaru Entertainment, The Rose, Vol. 2 features 15 fresh tracks from an array of genres, including rap, hip-hop, soul and R&B offerings. The guest artists on The Rose, Vol. 2 include Ludacris, Lyfe Jennings, Bone Thugs -N- Harmony, The Outlawz, Memphis Bleek, and Talib Kweli, among others.
