    Cuz it’s not the Tupac version?

    But like, even before Tupac did that, I’m 90% sure “In the air tonight” was literally the song that made Phill blow up with the Black community specifically.

    He got sampled a lot and would feature on tracks, which is common now but not 30-40 years ago. But I’m pretty sure all that was because of the original version of this song.
