"Trapped " is the political hip hop song written and performed by American rapper 2Pac . It was released on September 25, 1991, through Interscope Records as the lead single from his debut solo studio album 2Pacalypse Now . Recording sessions took place at Starlight Sound Studio in Richmond, California . Production was handled by Ramone "Pee-Wee" Gooden , who utilised samples from the Bar-Kays 's "Holy Ghost" and James Brown 's "The Spank ".
It deals with police brutality .[1] [2] The first verse tells a story of 2Pac being harassed by the police with one even shooting at him.[1] He then fires back and says he did it because he was tired of constantly being profiled and abused by police officers.[1]
The song was featured on 2Pac's 1998 posthumous Greatest Hits album.
Music video [ edit ]
The music video features Shock G singing part of the song's chorus and depicts Shakur in jail.[3] It features cameos by J-Dee of Da Lench Mob and Stretch . It was filmed on August 11, 1991.[4]
It appeared as a bonus on the DVD for Tupac: Resurrection . Around the time the music video was debuting, Tupac was assaulted by the Oakland Police Department after he cursed at them for demeaning his name and prolonging the issuing of a ticket sustained during a jaywalking incident.[5]
