In an unexpected revelation on Suge Knight’s podcast, “Collect Call,” comedian Katt Williams dropped a bombshell that has sent waves through the hip-hop community. Williams claims to be actively working on a new posthumous Tupac album, featuring previously unreleased verses from the iconic California rapper. The surprising twist to this project is the inclusion of none other than Cardi B, adding a contemporary flair to the mix.
The podcast episode, appropriately named “Collect Call,” featured a candid conversation between Williams and the incarcerated Knight, known for his pivotal role in the ’90s hip-hop scene and currently serving time for a criminal conviction. Williams, known for his comedic prowess, revealed his involvement in curating this potential project that aims to revive Tupac’s legacy with fresh material.
During the discussion, Knight queried Williams about the scope of the project, asking, “How many people you gonna have on the project?” Williams confidently responded that there would be eight individuals chosen, representing “only the best of the best” in the music industry. The unexpected twist came when Knight brought up Cardi B’s involvement, questioning, “I heard Cardi on the project with you, is that true?” Confirming her participation, Knight dubbed her “the female version of Tupac.” Williams concurred, expressing admiration for Cardi B and suggesting her seamless integration into the project, stating, “Everybody that’s on it is a piece of him, in a way.”
The potential collaboration has stirred excitement among fans who grew up listening to Tupac in the ’90s, as well as those who appreciate Cardi B’s contemporary impact on the hip-hop scene. However, the announcement also raises questions about the reception of such a collaboration, given the iconic status of Tupac and the distinctive styles of the artists involved.
As the details of this ambitious project unfold, it remains to be seen whether the blend of Tupac’s unreleased verses and Cardi B’s contemporary energy will resonate positively or spark debates among fans. The prospect of these diverse elements converging adds an intriguing layer to the ongoing legacy of Tupac Shakur.
