BOYCOTT NEW 2PAC ALBUM!I'm sure most of the 2Pac fans out there have heard the new album Loyal to the Game.We at 2Pac Online want to ask all 2Pac fans to NOT purchase this new album.We have been representing 2Pac online ever since before he passed away and have always supported his new releases.We accepted it because it was still worth it hearing another 2Pac album with new material.However, Amaru is now taking their degradation of 2Pac's legacy to a whole new level.They are now messing with 2Pac's vocals in ways they have never done before like speeding them up and slowing them down and distorting the pitch until they sound like garbage.He can't produce a beat to match 2Pac's flow so he tries to make 2Pac's flow match the beat.Furthermore, we now have chopping of 2Pac's lyrics like we have never seen before.And to top that off, we have vocals added by cutting and pasting 2Pac's voice.We need Amaru to respect 2Pac's legacy.To hire producers that 2Pac would have worked with.To have guest appearances by people 2Pac would have worked with.So please do not purchase this trash.Instead support 2Pac this year by purchasing one of his unmolested albums like 2PacalypseNow, Strictly 4 My NIGGAZ, Me Against the World, THUG LIFE, All Eyez On Me, Makaveli, or R U Still Down?His aliases include 2Pac, Pac, and Makaveli.Among his fans especially, he is known as simply "Tupac".Most of Tupac's raps concerned growing up around violence and hardships in ghettos, racial inequality and sometimes his feud with fellow rappers in the United States.EARLY LIFE
Tupac Shakur was born Lesane Parish Crooks in the Bronx, New York City on June 16, 1971 to Afeni Shakur, a member of the Black Panthers.Serving jail time on bombing charges while pregnant with Tupac, she faced a sentence of up to three years in prison.Acting as her own attorney, she beat the charges and was released one month before Tupac was born.As a result, he retained few friends and relied on writing poetry and diary entries to keep himself busy.At the age of 12, Shakur joined a Harlem theatre group and acted as Travis in Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun.In 1984 Tupac's mother brought him and his sister to live in Baltimore, Maryland.The Shakurs lived on Greenmount Ave.There, Tupac was disliked because of his looks, name, and lack of trendy clothing.His teachers remembered him as being a very gifted student.He was an avid reader, delving into books on eastern religions, and even entire encyclopedia sets.Hiding his love of literature from his peers, he gained the respect of his peers by acting like a tough guy.The song was about gun control and was inspired by the fatal shooting of one of his close friends.Afeni was having trouble finding work (her Panther past did not help, either).He showed contempt for law enforcement, being hassled occasionally for playing music loudly.Their recordings were later released in 2001 under the name Tupac Shakur: The Lost Tapes.He starred in Juice in 1991 to critical acclaim, hailed by Rolling Stone's Peter Travers as "The film's most magnetic figure."Although produced with the help of his Digital Underground crew, the intent of the album was to showcase his individual talent.While Shakur claimed his album was aimed at the problems facing young black males, it was also filled with images of violence by and against police.Pacalypse Now quickly attracted public criticism, especially after a young man who killed a Texas Trooper claimed he was inspired by the album.The album did not do as well as Tupac had hoped on the charts, sparking no number one hits.In confidence, Shakur told Shock G that he wanted Shock to pick the beats.While Shakur was a talented rapper, producing was not his forte.The group's lyrical strength undoubtedly lay primarily with Tupac, as the group has had little success after his death.In Oakland in October of 1991, Tupac was stopped by two officers for allegedly jaywalking.When he told the police "fuck y'all," he was choked, beaten, and had his head smashed on the pavement.Shakur got into a fight with them and shot both officers (one in the leg, one in the buttocks).He faced serious charges until it was discovered that both officers were intoxicated during the incident and were using weapons stolen out of an evidence locker.In December, Tupac Shakur was charged with sexually abusing a woman in his hotel room.Some friends who were with him that night interrupted the couple, wanting to enjoy the woman's attentions themselves.Shakur claimed to have left the room disgusted and went to take a nap.The girl, disagreeing with his account, accused him of encouraging the three men, pulling her hair, and sodomy.He was with his close friend Stretch, manager Freddie Moore, and one other friend on the night of November 30, 1994.They arrived at a studio so Shakur could do some recordings for an acquaintance, Booker, whom he didn't quite trust.The two men, who Shakur described as looking like they were from New York, came at him with identical 9mm handguns, and forced him and his friends to the floor.After he refused Tupac alone was shot a total of five times while he played dead on the ground and also robbed of thousands of dollars of gold jewelry he was wearing.Biggie, Puffy, Little Caesar, and others were waiting.Shakur described his friends as acting very strange, almost surprised at his being alive.He survived, and left the hospital a day after, against doctor's orders because he was feeling harassed by phone calls and the doctors.Me Against the World, was released.Machiavelli, and even wrote a screenplay titled Live 2 Tell while incarcerated.Shakur, and in exchange Shakur was obliged to release three albums under Death Row.Out on bail
Immediately after his release from prison, Shakur began work on his next album.It went on to sell more than nine million copies and is considered by many to be among the best albums in the genre.Dre left his post as house producer and Suge Knight became more involved in illegal activities.Shakur's last album created while alive was The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.The entire album is said to have been created in only seven days, and one of the more popular songs off this album, "Hail Mary", was reportedly made in only thirty minutes.The album has sold over five million copies.ACTING CAREER
At the time of his death, Tupac was also building on his acting career.John Singleton wrote the film Baby Boy with Shakur in mind for the leading role, but Shakur died before it was made.He had also been slated to star in the Hughes brothers' "Menace II Society" but was replaced by Larenz Tate after assaulting the directors.DONT MAKE ENEMIES WITH ME
During his life, Shakur had a number of rivals.Most famous of all is probably his rivalry with The Notorious B.As part of the ongoing feud between Shakur and his former friend Biggie, Shakur bragged about having slept with Biggie's estranged wife, Faith Evans, in "Hit 'Em Up", although Faith Evans denied the affair.Suge Knight vocalized the resentment between the Death Row and Bad Boy labels at an awards ceremony, saying "If anyone wants to come to a record company where they don't want the executive producer dancing, singing all up in the videos come to Death Row."In addition to his enemies at Bad Boy Records, Shakur suspected his former friend Stretch (real name Randy Walker) of being involved in the robbery.On November 30, 1995, exactly one year after the shooting of Shakur in New York, Walker was gunned down in Queens, New York.Shakur also had some disputes with Dr.He claimed that Dre did nothing at Death Row and was taking credit for other people's work.Shakur got angry when Dre refused to show up and testify in defense of his friend, Snoop Doggy Dogg, in a murder trial.In addition, Shakur made hints in songs that he thought Dre was a homosexual, and Suge Knight concurred in the Tupac Shakur: Thug Immortal documentary.Shakur disliked LL Cool J, whom he thought was a poser and had had an album produced by Puff Daddy.There was also some animosity between Tupac and others.Shakur also mocked Mobb Deep for snubbing him at a concert and commented on the illness that one member suffered from in the controversial track Hit 'Em Up, remarking, "Don't one of you niggas got sickle cell or something?".In a later interview, Shakur said that he had met Jackson during an immature time of his life, and hoped that he could one day make amends with her.Shakur also frequently insulted popular New York rapper Jay Z, Chino XL, Lil Kim, Junior Mafia and other artists of Bad Boy Records, of which the Notorious B.Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, who had beaten up one of his bodyguards in a shopping mall a few weeks earlier, lingering nearby.Anderson and others were interviewed by police later in connection with the murder, though no suspects were ever publicly named.Shakur and the crew at Death Row generally depended on members of the Bloods gang for security, while Biggie and the Bad Boy Crew depended on Crips members for security when visiting California.It was noted by the Compton Gang Unit that the Crips were bragging about the killing soon after returning to Compton.Cadillac was seen pulling up to the passenger side of the car, and firing thirteen rounds into the car as Tupac attempted to climb to safety in the back seat.Two teenagers took plea bargains and are serving time for Fula's murder.Shakur also desired to give back more to the community, suggesting a Little League to encourage young black kids to keep on the right path.He ran an earlier project called "The Underground Railroad" that aimed to keep youths off drugs by getting them involved in music.Afeni Shakur has also indicated in several interviews that the final Album of original Music by Tupac Shakur(AB) will be released in 2006.It is also rumored that Tupac was going to start his own record label "Euphanasia", and was in fact listed as an employee of this company at his time of death.Posthumous music career
Shakur has in fact released more songs posthumously than while he was alive.Conspiracies notwithstanding, Shakur was extremely dedicated to his work during his short career.Much of his work was only dug up and edited after his death, many songs being cuts that he did not feel were worthy of release.His music is still being actively released and remixed.MTV was able to create this effect by chopping up interviews Shakur had given throughout his career, they pieced words together to make the fallen rap star say things he hadn't, and some people feel never would have, said.Proceeds will go to a charity set up by Afeni.Most people knew about 2Pac through his music.This section lists all of his official albums.As the album certifications listed here are quite old and the albums haven't been recertified recently, it is quite likely that many of these albums have gone platinum even further times.Pac Online is proud to present the biggest online tribute to 2Pac.It is true that there is a little 2Pac in all of us.His words we will remember and his music we will never forget.If you would like to add this collection, please send your submissions to us at 2Pac Online.He is considered by many to be the greatest rapper of all time.Not only famous for his music, he was also a well respected actor with several films.Pac was down to die for everything he represented.Reading some of 2Pac's interviews, lyrics and quotes, its not hard to see why.Being real and upfront, trouble always seemed to come naturally.Many witnesses seen the girl who made these accusations voluntarily give 2Pac oral sex on a night club dance floor.The fatal shooting in Vegas was the second shooting 2Pac was involved.Some believe it happened spur of the moment out of Orlando's rage.Others believe Suge Knight had 2Pac killed.The Las Vegas Times recently reported Biggie Smalls had 2Pac killed.Still others, believe it was an elaborate scheme and 2Pac is still alive (he faked his own death).This site contains pictures of 2Pac, the latest news about 2Pac products and projects, information on 2Pac's tattoos, and anything else 2Pac related.All of this is to be shown through Tupac's lyrics, poetry, music videos and interviews.Click here to take our fun survey.You are free to
