Runnin' (Dying to Live)

"Runnin' (Dying to Live)", by the late rappers 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. was the first released single from the posthumous soundtrack album Tupac: Resurrection.

Overview

The song is a remake of an Easy Mo Bee-produced song called "Runnin' From tha Police", recorded by Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. in 1994. Easy Mo Bee subsequently received songwriting credits on "Runnin' (Dying To Live)".

The chorus is from Edgar Winter's song "Dying to Live" (from the album Edgar Winter's White Trash), which was edited to a higher pitch for the song. The interview of Notorious B.I.G. heard at the end of the track was recorded only a couple of weeks before his death.

Music video

The video contains interviews of both Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. It is the only song from the album to feature a music video. The video version mutes all language, violence and drug references, even Biggie's comment about two cops being shot (the radio version only censors all profanity except the word "bitches" in 2Pac's verse). In the video, it has past images of 2Pac and Biggie, and once their verses end, the song fades out.

Runnin' (The Pharcyde song)

Runnin' is a song performed by The Pharcyde and produced by J Dilla. It was released as the first single from The Pharcyde's second album Labcabincalifornia in 1995. The song peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached #35 on the U.S. R&B chart. Also featured in The Pharcyde's greatest hits compilation Cydeways: The Best of The Pharcyde, Runnin' is one of Pharcyde's most remembered songs, along with "Passin' Me By".

Samples

The song samples popular jazz artist Stan Getz's "Saudade Vem Correndo", from his 1963 album "Jazz Samba Encore". The sample loops a small section of the track's bridge, layering on additions from other sections of Getz' song (such as Getz' sax solo parts).

"Rock Box" by Run–D.M.C. is also sampled, the "Run" sample plays the part of the hook.

The track "Qtio" by Brothomstates samples a line from this song.

In 2003, singer Mýa sampled the song for her single "Fallen", which led to a collaboration between Mýa and The Pharcyde.
