Overview
The song was written by 2Pac for fellow Death Row rapper M.C. Hammer. 2Pac recorded a demo of it himself before giving the song to Hammer, this demo is what was used for songs release. Hammer's version was first released on 'Family Affair' in 1998. Hammer would later dance and read the lyrics to this song on the first 'VH1 Hip Hop Honors' in 2004.
According to the 'Family Affair' album insert, "Unconditional Love" lyrics were written and arranged by 2Pac and the songs producer, Johnny "J". Johnny "J" was credited for producing both versions of the song.
Hammer wrote this about the song: "This song was given to me as a gift from the late Tupac Shakur. He told me this was a song about how true love is unconditional. He wanted me to rap it because it reflected what I stand for. The secret is this is also what he stood for. We know that our Bible says that God's love is unconditional. Thank you Tupac for this beautiful, spiritual song." Hammer would later go on to mention his friendship with Tupac and the gift of this song to him in a TBN interview.
