When remixing these songs, Eminem used various unusual production techniques, namely, modifying the pace and pitch of Tupac's voice to better suit the instrumentals he produced. Loyal to the Game marks the only posthumous Tupac album not to feature any original production. This original version has a much faster tempo and features a third and fourth verse which didn't feature in Eminem's remix. Originally, "Ghetto Gospel" was recorded for inclusion on the 1992 Christmas compilation A Very Special Christmas 2, but due to Tupac's legal troubles, the song was dropped from the album. The album featured two singles: " Thugs Get Lonely Too", which served as a promotional single for the album, and " Ghetto Gospel", which served as the lead single.
