"Same Song" is a song by American rap group Digital Underground—featuring future hip-hop legend, Tupac Shakur, in his recording debut[2]—from the soundtrack for the movie, Nothing But Trouble. The song is included on their EP album, This Is an EP Release, as well as on the Tupac: Resurrection soundtrack.
The video starts off with a hearse driving into a drive-in theater, showing clips from Nothing but Trouble. The Digital Underground crew leaves the hearse. Shock G, portraying an American rock musician, raps the first verse. Shock G's alter ego, Humpty Hump—alternately portraying an Arab, an Asian, and an Eskimo—raps the second and fifth verses. Money B, portraying an orthodox Jew, raps the third verse. Shock G raps the fourth verse, portraying a Jamaican rasta, and Tupac raps the final verse, portraying an African king.
Dan Aykroyd appears, portraying a Scottish bagpipe artist, as well as a Los Angeles gang member, while Dr. Dre and Eazy-E also make cameo appearances.
"Same Song" was later used in the Halloween party scene in the 1995 movie, Casper, and also appears in an episode of the series, NCIS (S8/E9: "Enemies Domestic").
