"It's like I got the phone call yesterday," Shakur says of Tupac's death. "All I could do was learn to live in a world where...
...fish; he's the only fish. Perhaps recognizing that the water is getting a little brackish, Shadow varies the formula on his latest with a folk ballad, a soul jam and a delicate guitar symphony as emotional as a telenovela. (Qu dramtico!) His more conventional hip-hop tracks pose no threat to commercial radio, but they're perfect platforms for Bay Area rappers Keak Da Sneak and Lateef the Truth Speaker to say the things Shadow's samples...
