Three voices that defined three different eras of hip-hop, stitched into one track: that is the formula behind “Lil Jon & Eminem — 2 Pac Remix”, produced by Denis Music and released on his YouTube channel. It is an unofficial, fan-made remix — and a sharp example of why the YouTube remix scene keeps these catalogues alive decades after the original records.

What this remix does
Denis Music builds the track the way the best mashup producers do: a hard, modern beat as the chassis, Lil Jon’s crunk energy driving the hooks and ad-libs, Eminem’s precision verses in the fast lanes, and 2Pac’s unmistakable voice carrying the emotional weight. None of the three ever recorded together — Pac’s verses are catalogue recordings, which is exactly the point of the remix format: it stages the collaboration history never got to make.
The Denis Music remix series
This video is one entry in a whole series Denis Music has built around the same trio. His channel returns to the Lil Jon × Eminem × 2Pac formula again and again — Hurricane 2, Walk Forward, Battleground Split, Harder — each one re-cutting the voices over new production, tagged for the gym and workout playlists where these remixes rack up their plays. It is a niche, but a durable one: the comments and repeat uploads show a loyal audience that treats every new Denis Music remix as a drop.
Why the combination works
- Lil Jon brings the ignition: the crunk shouts and party-starting production style that ruled the 2000s club era.
- Eminem brings the technique: dense, technical verses that cut through any beat you put under them.
- 2Pac brings the gravity: nearly thirty years after his death, his voice still turns a party track into something with stakes.
Put together, the remix plays like a three-way era clash — 90s West Coast conscience, 2000s Detroit lyricism, and Atlanta crunk — which is why this formula, and Denis Music’s channel, keep finding new listeners.
Hear the originals

Apple MusicFAQ
Is this an official release?
No. It is an unofficial fan-made remix, produced by Denis Music and published on his own YouTube channel. The artists’ estates and labels were not involved — which is standard for the YouTube remix scene.
Who is Denis Music?
A remix producer whose channel specializes in re-cutting classic hip-hop voices — above all Lil Jon, Eminem and 2Pac — over new beats, in series like Hurricane 2, Walk Forward and Battleground Split.
Did Lil Jon, Eminem and 2Pac ever record together?
No — 2Pac died in 1996, before Eminem’s major-label rise and Lil Jon’s crunk breakthrough. Every “collaboration” between the three exists only through remixes like this one.
The verdict
As a piece of remix craft, “Lil Jon & Eminem — 2 Pac Remix” does exactly what it promises: three larger-than-life voices, one hard beat, zero filler. It is unofficial, it is made by a fan — and as Denis Music’s whole series proves, that is precisely why it exists and why people keep pressing play.
