Outlaw

“Outlaw” closes the album with an appearance from Dramacydal, the crew that would later be known as The Outlawz. The conversation between Tupac and RahRah serves as a sort of precursor for the murderous and vengeful mentality of an outlaw displayed throughout the song. According to producer Moe ZMD, RahRah’s mother didn’t like his inclusion on the song and later tried to sue Moe but he said Tupac was the one who found RahRah out in New York City and put him on the song. Moe ZMD said the following regarding the track’s creation: I had sent him a demo of some tracks. He was like, ‘I like most of tracks on there, but there’s this one on there that’s at the end,’ and I’m like ‘Oh, that’s a R&B track that I had left by accident.’ So then he said, this is his words verbatim, ‘Well it’s a rap now, nigga.’ [Laughs] I said, Alright. That ended up being ‘Outlaw.’ Complex listed “Outlaw” as one of the Best Tupac Songs and Tupac’s Digital Underground friend Money B also said this song is one of his favorites.
