The Outlawz have an interesting history: originally a larger rap group formed by Tupac Shakur following his release from prison, the group gradually fell apart after the death of one of the greatest rap gods of all time. Ten years later, a handful of the group has reunited to make music again, including the hauntingly beautiful "Black Rose." Some of the best rap songs have a woman lending a hand on the hook, and this is no exception.
Over some beautiful beats, The Outlawz do their creator proud. You've got a good formula for a successful rap song here, and the group doesn't squander the chance to be brilliant. With the haunting chorus, I put my hand up and you hold me like a flower, speaking words I am longing to hear... you've got the probable saddest rap song you've ever heard. It will make your heart ache. It'll make you think. But most of all, it'll climb up your most played list.
