You'd be hard-pressed to recognize three quarters of the artists involved in this latest tribute for 2Pac. And maybe it's all for the best. The relative anonymity of the people behind the two-disc 29-track opus plays well to the objectives:

In the Shadow of an Icon is an amazing tribute to the teachings and thought process of hip hop icon, rapper, activist, poet Tupac Shakur. Tupac connected with the street because he was from the street and understood the messages that the street needed to hear.
[It] brings no bling, or spinning rims, no meaningless repetitive hooks - just good quality hip hop with a message from unsigned artists relevant to hip hop culture in a time when real thought provoking hip hop seems to have left the scene.
