A list of the top five remixes on Youtube featuring the late Tupac Shakur and Eminem. Eminem’s first album was released about one month before Tupac was shot dead.
5. Mockingbird

I really like how well Tupac’s verses match up so well with the beat. Even the message is the same with both verses. The only thing I didn’t really like about this one was how awkward the chorus felt when Tupac just rapped right over it.
4. When I’m Gone

I love how the chorus of this song flows. But I think Eminem could have gotten a little more mic time.
3. Toy Soldiers

Just an overall great song. Tupac makes it even better, but I think his verse could be a little louder, it gets covered up by the instrumentals. And in my opinion, the song could have done without the sirens.
2. Sing for the Moment

This song samples from an amazing song by Aerosmith. Tupac’s verse goes PERFECT with the drums and bass, and Eminem’s verse is my favorite by him.
1. Mockingbird Vs. Lose Yourself

This is my favorite remix. It takes the lyrics from one of Eminem’s most popular songs “Lose Yourself” and uses the instrumentals from another of his songs, “Mockingbird”. Tupac’s verse is very deep, and Eminem’s verses are absolutely awesome. “Lose Yourself” is one of my all time favorite songs, but I think this one might have beaten it.
