Scotty D still on the trail of the "real" killers.

np: Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory

Haha. I remember buying every magazine we could find with Tupac in it, cutting out the pictures and covering one whole wall of our dorm room as a memorial. People came from other dorms to see our work.

Eleventh grade... wow.

Selah.

Anyway, never would have thought Afeni Shakur would outlive any of her children by upward of ten years.

NO SURRENDER.

are you kidding? with pac's reckless behavior...i am suprised it wasnt sooner.....the guy was a disaster and imho did more harm then good.

Dude, "HIT 'EM UP".

he had to die, so Death Row could live.

As a shell of itself, yes.

Plus, it's just "THA ROW", now. Get it right. Or, Suge will have you killed, as well.

EASY, PAL.

I would like to state, for the record, and in as public a forum as possible, that I got NO problems with Suge.

So, you're taking PR work for Bernie Parks, now, huh?

Suge put the hit on both Pac and Biggie. LAPD knows. LAPD won't investigate in any efficacious way.

I can't imagine how big the final settlement for Voletta Wallace will be... LA County will prolly be in hoc for a coupla decades after such decision is reached, though.

Now I want to watch that Chapelle's Show sketch.

"I'M NOT ALIVE!"

So, in all seriousness, what's the deal with this guy. I haven't listened to a whole lot of his stuff but what I've heard doesn't seem to sync up with the press and praise. What sets him apart from the rest? Maybe it's because I'm not much of a hip hop guy and I just don't have the ear for it or the culture, but I'd be curious to hear the opinions.

my girlfriend recently admitted to crying when she found out

probably funnier if you know her cause shes a classical musician and shit

Who (what) the hell was Fluffy? Pop-punk band that never took off?

I hadda ask this same question myself a few years ago because I wasnt into Pac at the time so I consulted LooGAR and ScottyD as well as some of their lesser minions. My take on their take:

--Tupac is not the greatest lyricist or MC (delivery wise) of all time but he was very good at both.

--What he did have was the special unexpalinable something that drew people to him and made him larger than life. Back that up with the talent that he had as a performer and BING!--Icon.

--After playing Bishop in Juice, Tupac stopped being able to discern between the fiction of his character from the movie and the person he was in real life.

Things to not mention to S.D.: That Tupac wasnt really that street because he attended a Fame style performance art high school and his role as a dancer in Digital Underground...

Interesting thoughts. And Juice was a pretty fucking cool movie.

And his words live on in the halls of UC Berkeley!

2Pac was Rob Halford in reverse.

Giving new meaning to the humpty-hump, no doubt.

I'm a huge rap fan but have never liked Tupac. He was definitely interesting.

I was going to say that I'm glad he's dead but 2Pac has become more ubiquitous and famous in death then when he was alive. So instead, I wish he was still with us just so he would release some crappy albums and then become another Bobby Brown type nobody instead of the ghetto hero/martyr that he is to black people now.

While I appreciate 2Pac, and have a few albums, this 10 yr bs is out of hand. Its like every mag cover I see this month has him on the cover. Record store have displays. Sheesh. He's become the hiphop Jim Morrison.

I bet Cobain is right up there on the post mortem magazine covers as well.

Tupac's assassination is my 9/11.
