'Ghetto Gospel' is a song by rapperTupac Shakur, which was originally released as the second single on his posthumous 2004 album Loyal to the Game. It samples Elton John's 1971 track, 'Indian Sunset'. The single topped the charts in the United Kingdom (for 3 weeks),[1] Australia, Czech Republic, and the Republic of Ireland. The song was written by Tupac Shakur as an outcry to 'end the war on the streets', addressing the futility of racial difference and dissidence, particularly under the unifying banner of poverty. He also pays tribute to murdered black activists Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton in the song.

Original version[edit]
The Loyal to the Game version was produced by Eminem, but the original was leaked a couple of years later. It has a faster tempo, extra third and fourth verses and is about 4:30 in length.[2] It also doesn't contain the 'Indian Sunset' sample, but builds on a sample of Tracy Chapman's song 'Crossroads' instead.[3]The original version of the track was produced by Big D The Impossible, a regular producer from 2Pac's first two albums: 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..
Music video[edit]
'Ghetto Gospel' was the only song on Loyal to the Game with an accompanying music video on YouTube. Neither 2Pac nor Elton John appeared in the video. Towards the end of the music video, the actor (J. D. Williams) is shot but then appears at his own funeral, fueling rumors that the rapper's death was faked. At the end of the video there is a message from his mother, Afeni Shakur, saying 'Remember to keep yourself alive, there is nothing more important than that'.
