Eminem Gets Thanks From A Veteran Rocker

Veteran rocker Edgar Winter is grateful to rapper Eminem for exposing one of the first songs he ever wrote to the hip-hop community.

Winter's Dying to Live provides the chorus to the Eminem-produced track Running (Dying to Live), which unites rap rivals Tupac Shakur and Notorious BIG.

The song, which features the two rappers who were in a bitter rivalry before they were gunned down within months of each other in 1997 and 1996, is part of the soundtrack to the upcoming documentary Tupac: Ressurection, which is due to be released on November 14th.

The soundtrack hits stores on November 11th.

Winter says, "I'm as interested as everyone else to see how he came up with the concept. I would never have thought he'd ever heard of me, or the song. It never got radio play, so I don't know how he came across it."
