Tupac 6.16.71 - 9.13.96

[CrimsonTide4]

. . . that it was safe to say no more 2Pac records to be released, you get proven wrong.

2Pac's newest CD will be out November 26 with tracks he recorded from 94-96.

I swear yall HE is the hardest working corpse I know. If he comes back after next September, :eek: :eek: :eek: I will be a freaking mazed.

[Shani26]

Okaaaayy...So just to start off I'm not crazy or nothin...but I was talking to one of my friends the other day and Tupac came up...and he told me he's one of the FEW firm believers that Tupac is still alive:eek: ...So at first I thought "whatever get over it" :rolleyes: ...But then he had me thinking yall forrealforreal...It hasn't even been 7 years since he was killed...and yall know about the whole 7day theory...So to make an INCREDIBLY LONG :eek: (2hrs) conversation short...I'm going to wait till Sept. 13 2003 EXACTLY 7years before I start automatically dismissing ideas that he's still alive. Cause the way he was talking Tupac in Cuba chillin makin CD's gettin ready to head back next year!!! :cool:

I thought I was the only one who had a friend that believed Tupac was alive and well in Cuba. I personally don't think that he is still alive but it's amazing how many extremely intelligent people do. I think it's all a bunch of horse puckey.

If he does come back, I hope he looks as good as he did when he left. Something about that nose just gets me going.

[CrimsonTide4]

I've had students in the past write 5 paragraph persuasive essays citing evidence from his videos and songs that he is still alive. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Not Compton. Maybe Africa or something? He's probably gotten a new "face". :o

James Brown was the hardest working man in showbiz, while 2Pac is the hardest working corpse (lmao @ that) in showbiz. He's even passed Elvis.

um, um, um...

[Eclipse]

Y'all ain't heard??? 'Pac and Elvis live together in the attic of Graceland. They are coming out with a joint album in 2004 called Thug Livin' in Blue Suede Shoes Fo' realllll doe. My hairdresser's bady daddy cousin know somebody that useta dance for 2Pac and he told him! LOL

My younger sister (as GHETTO as she is) ALSO believes that Tupac is still alive. She tried to explain that Maccaveli (sp?) 7 stuff to me, but I wasn't hearing it. The man WAS deep and all of that, but he wasn't so deep that he could have predicted someone trying to kill him...or actually killing him, for that matter. UNLESS...God gave him insight into that. Now, I'm going to say this to all of those devoted Tupac fans who believe that he's still living...in Compton or Cuba. THE MAN IS D.E.A.D, OKAY?!!!!!! Let him rest in peace. I'll be waiting for September 13, 2003 also (God willing). And I can't wait to see, on that day, what these "believers" will say (or do) when Tupac DOESN'T show up on all of the news networks announcing his "resurrection". So, I'm going to finally say (in my BEST and most PRONOUNCED Southern accent), YALL BETTER LEAVE THAT DEAD MAN 'LONE!!!!!!. :D :D

What is the deal with this? I haven't heard anything about Sept. 13th. :confused:

Oh, Librasoul22, I was just repeating what Shani26 wrote in her post about this September 13, 2003 thing. That was the first time that I heard about this date also. I was never an advid Tupac fan (although I liked many of his songs). He was always just too "thuggish" and wild for my tastes. So, I don't know how this date relates to anything. I think that people may feel that this date has something to do with things that he referred to on his last CD BEFORE he died. Anyway, I was just saying that since this is supposed to be the day that Tupac "comes back", I'll be waiting and listening also because a whole "heep" of people are going to be disappointed when he doesn't make is debut. :) :)

Sept. 13th is the day 2Pac died. According to the theory, he should be resurrected exactly 7 years after the date of his death.

Sept 13, 2003 would be the 7th year anniversary of Tupac's death. The 7 day theory is based on when he got shot and 7 days later he dies. Because everything comes in 7's, he will come back to Earth reincarnated as MAKAVELI in the year 2003. That's the "theory."

Gina, I guess we were posting at the same time. :)

[CrimsonTide4]

This one is a bit far fetched, but people really are nuts nowadays. We heard that a company named CloneAid Corporation is trying to get Tupac's baby teeth from his mother to actually make a clone of the rapper using his DNA. We even found a petition online supporting this crazy scheme:

[9dstpm]

I've heard my kids today talking about how 2Pac is still alive and everything, and as I was listening to them I thought that if they put as much effort into trying to behave at home and making better grades in school as they did in trying to convince me that 2Pac is still alive, then my job will be a lot easier!! :p

I couldn't have said it better myself!!
:cool:

[OneOneTwo]

There was a website that had posted picutures of 2Pac's "autopsy." They also had pictures of MLK's and some other nasty and gross things. I didn't mean to gross nobody out but to my knowledge, there is PHYSICAL proof that 2Pac is indeed DEAD and that he ain't coming back on 09.13.2003.

[UNNOspr99]

Personnally I think Elvis is working harder. He has been dead every bit 20+ years and he just released a hits compilation.

[CrimsonTide4]

Tomorrow marks the 7th anniversary of TuPac's Death. . .will he come back.

Russ Parr n em said watch TRL or 106 & Park. :o

[Eastcoast Sunshine]

I always thought Tupac might have been alive because in his song "God Bless the Dead,'' released in 1998, he says, ``Rest in peace, Biggie Smalls, referring the Notorious B.I.G., who died six months after him, among other questionable lyrics which lead me to think that just maybe, he is alive somewhere.



However, in this months issue of XXL Magazine, Afeni (Shakur) talks about raising Tupac and how she recently buried his ashes. She also talks about how at first she was upset at people believing he is still alive but she understands how his music has touched so many. Producers and Artists such as The Outlawz talk about what it was like to work with Tupac and how creative and hard working he was in the studio.


There is also the Tupac Center for the Arts which is currently being developed. (See below)

---> Help Build the Tupac Amaru Center for The Arts <---

We need your prayers, ideas, & financial support as we build the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for Arts (TASCA) to offer all types of artists (entertainers, educators, recreational, theatrical, etc) around the world a place to unite and network with one another. In addition, the Center will honor the work of Tupac and his enormous impact on the world. Visitors will be able to better understand the calling on Tupac's life through the Museum & Art Gallery.

The site is situated on a beautiful wooded 10 acre property complete with a onsite lake.The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts will be located in Stone Mountain (suburban Atlanta), Georgia were most of his family has lived for nearly a decade and where Tupac owned a home shortly before his murder.The Center will be built in three phases.

PHASE 1- Visitor Center
Tupac Museum/Art Gallery, Learning Center, & Screening Room
The first phase of the Center will feature an interactive museum showcasing highlights from 2PAC's public life and never before released personal belongings, an art gallery, community meeting space, & classrooms. A screening room is planned as a part of the museum and will feature film premeries, video history on Tupac, & special taped messages from friends & supporters of Tupac. Phase One of the Center is slated for completion in 2003!

Phase 2- Tupac Theater
The Centerpiece will be a 300-400-seat theater.
The theater will be available for plays, productions, and film premiers among other things.

Phase 3- Artist Village & Peace Garden
Near the lake located on the property an area where artists from various genres (painters, sculptures, writers, etc) can develop pieces for display at the Tupac Museum/Art Gallery. A landscaped peace garden will be designed as a place of reflection and a way to honor victims of violence.

I was just reading something about this the other day...

http://rap.about.com/library/weekly/aatupacconspiracytheories090902.htm

"Many believe that the meaning behind the 'seven day theory' (part of the album's title) is 2Pac will return September 2003… seven years after his death."

I personally don't believe that Tupac is still alive but I have family who would physically hurt me if I said that to their face. We'll just have to watch, wait and see......but I'm not holding my breathe!

[CrimsonTide4]

What's Your favorite TUPAC song?

I have 2
Brenda's Got a Baby
Ambitionz Az A Ridah

[blackcoffee]

I would have to say that I liked just about every one of Tupac's songs...either for the beat or for the lyrics.

[Queencece]

I'd Ratha be ya N*gga
Changes
Dear Mama
Keep ya head up!


Q

[CrimsonTide4]

I just remembered another one. . .Can Ya Get Away . . .let me turn it on now :D

[D.COM]

Ambitionz Az A Ridah
Me and My Girlfriend

Also the ENTIRE 2 Cassettes of "All Eyez on Me"

(I was on my way to go buy the tapes - I had been saving up to buy it :p - when I turned on the radio and heard exactly these words: "It's official folks...Tupac Shakur is dead." I never forgot that because it was weird...I was on my way to buy the tape, turned on the radio and heard those words. I had to stop the car and pause for a bit because I couldn't believe it. :( )

[darling1]

I have always liked Me and My girlfriend. I love when artists use metaphors in their music. I think that rhyme was the epitome of hard, rough, edgy and gangsta. Using Lil Kim I thought was quite ingenious and appropriate given her background.

This is interesting to read. Seven years have come and gone. He isn't around.

Oh, and my favorite song is "I Ain't Mad At Cha." My mother actually likes the song so I can't seem to get away from it.

[Ideal08]

I was one of the people awaiting the Makaveli return. :( I guess I can let it go. :(

My favorite song is Only God Can Judge Me.

[FLKING]

Man anything that sexy man dropped is a favorite of mine. But that Me and My Girlfriend just does something to me each time I see it.

I must admit, I too held out hope that someone would spot him. But about 2 years ago Danny Boy ( the one that sings the hooks on I Ain't Mad At Cha) was on a local radio station and said his guy was infact no more.... I believe him.

[dojo]

Ambitionz Az A Ridah
Hail Mary
Against All Odds
No More Pain

After seeing the autoposy pics, I have finally come to the realization that 2Pac is NOT, and I repeat is NOT coming back.

That is all....

[OthelloStreet]

All of the songs that have made it as chapter titles to my upcoming book, Gotta Start From Somewhere, including, but not limited to:

* Me & My Girlfriend
* All Eyez on Me (they will be one day, I hope)
* So Many Tears
* Temptations
* Keep Ya Head Up

[CrimsonTide4]

In honor of his birthday, 6.16.

[FeeFee]

I finally heard his version of Me and My Girlfriend last night.

Other Tupac favs:

Hail Mary
Keep Ya Head Up

[reddawn18]

I love Dear Mama and Keep ya head up.

God! I miss me some Tupac. I still have the joke that he's in Mexico killin' in our Villa saying, "come home to me baby!"

We's gonna fight! That is my man...and he is chillin in Cuba. BTW, did anyone see Tupac Resurrection, it's really good. I think it came out on DVD this week or last week.

Too many favs,

But yesterday I was bumping:

I Ain't Mad at Cha
So Many Tears

Yes, wow. I love Tupac so much, that I never thought that anyone would think of him as overrated. He's more than just a rapper to me. But, it's cool. Just my surprise. Really, no judgment.

[Iota-girl4life]

Since I am a huge fan of Tupac & Scarface, I would have to say "Smile" is my favorite song. The video was deep, and it was cool how Scarface was able to put that song together after Tupac's death. If you did not know about Tupac's death (highly unlikely) you would have thought that they were actually in the studio recording the song together.

You'd be suprised how many people think he's overrated. He just wasn't all that to me lyrically. He was just okay. I think there are a lot more emcees out there who're more advanced lyrically.

Tupac Peace Garden Opens In June
Days before what would have been 2 Pac's 34th birthday, the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF) is hosting the Grand Opening of its Visitor Center and Peace Garden on June 11, 2005. This is the first phase of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA), in Stone Mountain, Georgia, that will eventually include a performing arts theater, museum, art gallery, community meeting space and classrooms. The Grand Opening ceremony, itself, will begin at 11:30 AM and will be held in the Center’s main parking lot at 5616 Memorial Drive. This momentous occasion will consist of welcoming remarks from a number of prominent community leaders, including special guest speaker Afeni Shakur. There will also be a special performance of Family Tree by “Pac’s Kids,” the students of the Summer Arts Camp, along with Celina Nixon, an original camp student and current coordinator of the camp.

[Wonderful1908]

It's interesting to see this thread I just got through watching "Tupac Resurection" (sp?) and man it was so deep. Pac was real no BS about it, sometimes in a poetic way, a sensitivve way, a thug way, an iggnorant way, and even a WTH way, but all those made him all the more real. I have a new respect for the life he led. I truly believe he wanted to see his people and community so much better. I think he would have matured into a man with som much to say. :(

I to can't believe anyone would think he was overated but opinions are opinions. :confused:

[CrimsonTide4]

I can't sleep and just turned to VH1 where some sort of Tupac special is on. He is talking about his time in prison.

I can't believe it has been 10 years. WOW.

Talk about living a dream, my brother is amazed by the fact that his life and career are still going strong and bringing in cash. His music still gets to people and there isn't a day that goes by when I hear one of his songs I get all nostalgic or sometimes even get my dance on.

[lovelyivy84]

This thread coming back reminds me of the Chappelle show skit abour Tupac's newest song. I HOLLERED!

Our folks will never let that man die, I swear. And neither will his record company as long as there is profit to be made. I hope his Mom at least sees some of it.

If I am not mistaken Afeni has control over his masters so anything that is released has to be approved by her first. Which also means that she gets a nice chunk of change.

[FeeFee]

I still can't believe it's been a decade since we lost this brother. Like someone else said before, I have a newfound respect for Tupac. Rest in Peace.

I'll have to check it out later today. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I was chilling at home and had to turn on the radio to believe my cousin's phone call to report his death. When I heard two TuPac songs back to back, I knew it was true.

I miss his devotion to the truth.

[jojapeach]

I know it sounds crazy to some people, but the deaths of TuPac and Biggie are two monumental events in our generation. A lot of us know exactly what we were doing and where we were when we got the news. It's not the Space Challenger or the death of a JFK or even 9/11, but those deaths spoke to thousands, if not millions, of people.

Any more people still remember what they were doing 10 years ago today?

[jitterbug13]

I was coming home and heard "How Do You Want It". I remember wondering how Pac was doing.

A few minutes later, I turned on Headline News and saw that he had passed. :(

[mulattogyrl]

I was working at Barnes & Noble on 77th and Broadway in NYC. It was raining that day. I remember it very well.

[Gina1201]

I love Tupac. And yes I still have a Tupac poster. I remember I was 14 and my friend HT called. He was known for playing pranks and he called to tell me Tupac passed. I called him a liar but then found out it was true. I cried for hours like I had lost a best friend. RIP Tupac.
