Review 'I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto' is the first posthumous single by 2Pac. It appears on his album R U Still Down? (Remember Me). The original was also released as the B-side on the 'Keep Ya Head Up' single.There are two versions of the song on the R U Still Down? (Remember Me) album. One is an OG Vibe (remake of the original, using the same sample); the other is a 'hip hop remix' version which was recorded while he was on Death Row and intended for the album. They are both different from the original version that was featured on the 'Keep Ya Head Up' single.The song title originally came from the lyrics of fellow West Coast Rapper Spice 1, of the 1992 song 'Welcome to the Ghetto.'
Portions of the lyrics were later re-used and remixed for the single 'Changes' which appeared on 2Pac's Greatest Hits compilation released in 1998.Rapper Nas sampled 'I Wonder if Heaven's Got A Ghetto' in his song 'Black President' on his untitled 2008 album.
