Hail Mary (2Pac song)
"Hail Mary" is a song by American rapper Tupac Shakur from his fifth studio album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996). It was released after his September 1996 murder under the Makaveli stage name as the album's third single. "Hail Mary" features rap verses by Kastro, Young Noble and Yaki Kadafi of the Outlawz rap group and vocals from reggae musician Prince Ital Joe. A music video was shot for the song and can be found on the DualDisc of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.
The song captures Tupac zoning out the violence and negativity surrounding him praying to God, and making biblical references. "Hail Mary" appeared on Shakur's Greatest Hits in 1998. A remix of the song was also featured on the album Nu-Mixx Klazzics in 2003. The song debuted on the Billboard charts on January 4, 1997 and peaked at number twelve on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart on March 8, 1997.
"Hail Mary" took under one hour to complete. It took about 15 minutes to write and about five minutes to lay. Hurt-M-Badd made the beat in 20 to 30 minutes. "Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate?..." was originally going to be the hook, but then Shakur suggested putting it in the end.
The music video was released on March 16, 1997. It shows a fictionalized version of a unseen Tupac coming back as a ghost and getting revenge on the gang members who killed him
This song was played as a tribute to Shakur during the Up in Smoke Tour in 2000. Rappers Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg rapped this song as one of three songs they performed as a tribute to 2Pac with the crowd singing the chorus.
On April 15, 2012, "Hail Mary" was performed as the opening of the Shakur's hologram performance alongside live performers Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The track moved 13,000 downloads that week for a 1,530% sales increase.
The song was played in the film Baby Boy, in which Shakur himself was supposed to play the lead. The film was released in 2001 by John Singleton, but because Shakur was no longer alive, Singleton had him replaced by Tyrese Gibson. The song was played when Jody, the lead, had a dream about being gunned down by the police or being locked up in prison with his girlfriend and son visiting him. While the song is playing, 2Pac's picture is seen in Jody's room.
The 2015 film Straight Outta Compton shows Shakur recording the song in a scene which takes place in 1995, one year before it was released. However, this never happened in real life, as Dr. Dre left Death Row Records before the actual song itself was recorded.
