At Rucker Park in New York City, Mo Bee approached Shakur with several different songs they could sample from in the Me Against the World album. The idea for "Temptations" began in late 1993 when record producer Easy Mo Bee came to Shakur while he was on the set of Above the Rim (1994). The main plot of the video follows Coolio while he is working in the hotel. Taking place in a hotel, the video opens and closes with the concierge (Ice-T) complaining about Coolio (a bellboy). Instead, the video features many celebrities such as Coolio, Ice-T, Treach, Issac Hayes, Warren G, Adina Howard, Shock G, B-Real, Marcus Chong, and Kenya Moore. The song's music video does not have any shots of Shakur, since he was incarcerated at the time. It was also well received by critics, with many writers commenting on its romantic tone. Debuting at number sixty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100, the song did fairly well in the United States. ![]() The song uses the bassline from the " Computer Love", and the theme focuses on relationship and infidelity issues. While rapping is solely performed by Shakur, Erick Sermon and producer Easy Mo Bee are also featured in the song primarily as background vocalists. It was released as a single in the US on August 29, 1995, and was released as a CD, cassette, and 12" promo. "Temptations" is a song by American rapper Tupac Shakur (2Pac) from his third studio album, Me Against the World (1995).
