Tupac: Live at the House of Blues is a live album and the final concert by American rapper 2Pac. The performance was recorded at the House of Blues, Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, California, on July 4, 1996 and released on both CD and DVD on September 5, 2005.
Although the album is credited solely to 2Pac, the concert was in fact a joint show with Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. Throughout the first half of the performance, 2PacâÂÂbacked by his hip-hop clique, the OutlawzâÂÂtakes the stage and is joined by R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo. In the second half, Snoop Dogg performs alongside Tha Dogg Pound and features West Coast singer Nate Dogg. For the showâÂÂs climax, 2Pac returns to the stage to perform his then-recent hit, "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted", alongside Snoop Dogg.
Of the songs performed by 2Pac, three were unreleased at the time and would not see an official release until years after his death: "Troublesome", "Tattoo Tears", and "Never Call U Bitch Again". Tha Dogg Pound also performed an unreleased track, "Me in Your World", which would later appear on Death Row Greatest Hits that same year.
Since its release, Tupac: Live at the House of Blues has sold over a million copies and is certified Platinum.
The DVD and Blu-ray editions feature the full uncut concert and include five full-length music videos: "California Love (Remix)", "To Live & Die in L.A.", "Hit 'Em Up", "How Do You Want It", and "I Ain't Mad at Cha".
