The keep saying Tupac's "music", but it's not his music, is it?

And the guy who says the audience won't be able to control themselves made me laugh.

As Tupac was a credited producer for each of these songs, it's technically "his music." But that is obviously an argument of semantics. Many would agree that it's only his words and lyrics. Nothing else.

The show footage in this commercial is great, but the interviews are shot really strangely.

"The keep saying Tupac's "music", but it's not his music, is it?"

I'm very happy to see one other person actually notices this distinction - nobody else seems to care the slightest bit.

CurtainPullDowner, Whizzer (in another thread) acknowledged that the actual composers get credit in tiny print at the back of the Playbill.

However, I strongly suspect that Daryl Waters (listed as orchestrator, arranger, and musical supervisor) deserves a lot more attention and acknowledgement for creating material than he's receiving. But, since this is essentially a vanity production, canonizing Shakur, no one is particularly willing to let the creative spotlight get shared.
