NEW STYLE

A New Beginning

Hip hop as a cultural movement manifest in B-boying (breakdancing), graffiti writing, DJing and MCeeing is an artistic commitment to stop freedom from oppressive social conditions. This commitment in hip hop culture expresses a reality of human transcendence which originally was born out of the creative impulse and cultural improvisation of the African American, Afro-Caribbean and Latino American communities of New York City(with the South Bronx as the center) in the late 1970s.It was DJ Afrika Bambaataa that outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti writing, and knowledge. Other elements include beatboxing, hip hop fashion, and slang. Since first emerging in the Bronx, the life

The word "hip" was used as African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as early as 1898. The language meant "informed" or "current," and was derived from the earlier form hep

LIfe After Death Hoax on 2 Pac Reasons why he still alive

Some believed that 2pace is still alive today! This is still puzzling to me as to whether or not there is some truth to this statement.

There were never any pictures released of Tupac in the hospital.

The video "I ain't Mad at Cha" was released a few days after his death. The video shows Tupac as an angel in heaven.

In the song "Life Goes On", Tupac raps about his own funeral.

The driver of the car in which Tupac was riding, Suge Knight (the exectutive producer of Death Row Records), didn't show up for questioning about the shooting.

A shooting involving Snoop Doggy Dogg occured close to the release of his album Doggystyle which made Snoop appear more "real" and showed that he really was a gangsta. The shooting gave him respect because everyone that bought his album believed what he was talking about. Within one week of its release, Doggystyle went platnium. Snoop is signed to the same label as Tupac which is Death Row Records.

In interviews prior to the shooting, Tupac talked about how he wanted to stop rapping and being a gangsta and get out of the limelight. What is the only way Tupac could completly escape the media spotlight ??? (Answer: if the public thought he was dead.)

There are no suspects for the shooting.

Press wasn't going to be allowed at the funeral, but then the funeral was cancelled for unknown reasons.

Tupac always wore a bulletproof vest, no matter where he went. Surely he would have worn it to a very public event like a Tyson fight.

In most of his songs he talks about being buried, so why was he allegedly creamated the day after he "died"? And since when do they creamate someone the day after death?

There is nothing in the new album that says TUPAC RIP 1971-1996. Doesn't it make sense to include something like that in the first album after his "death"?

Death of 2-Pac

Following up 2pac released "Hit 'Em Up" which later seemed to resurface into the picture about him having sex with Christopher Wallace wife. Wallace acknowledged the former, referring to it in regards to his wife's pregnancy on Jay Z's "Brooklyn Finest" but didn't directly respond to the record, stated in a 1997 radio interview.

Predicting his own death in music video seemingly to have been shot in those videos, Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by-shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7, 1996. He died six days later of complications from gunshot wounds. Rumors of Wallace involvement with Shakur's murder were reported immediately, and later were brought up in a two-part interview tapping with Chuck Phillips in Los Angeles. Christopher Wallace denied the allegation claiming he was in a New York recording studio at the time.

As a result, 2Pac's death still remains in questioning and unsolved as to what really happened on that night.

Biggie Smalls Side of the Story

Wallace was arrested outside a Manhattan nightclub on March 26, 1996, for chasing and threatening to kill autograph seekers for smashing the windows of their taxicab and then pulling one of the fans out and punching them. Wallace pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment and was sentenced to 100 hours community service. In 1996, he was arrested at his home in Teaneck, New Jersey, for drug and weapons possession charges. Biggie felt this feud was getting out of line with critics saying that the reasons for his actions were due to outraged fans who thought 2-Pac was a better choice for Hip-Hop America.

2-Pac Side of the Story

As this feud continued to change the Hip-Hop world, there were even bigger issues as to which rapper deserved to get more credit for the other's doing in the music business. 2-pac believed that he was the reason for Biggie Smalls success (in this hidden interview) and that his life-long friend Sean "Puffy" Combs had something to do with shootings that happened prior to his unsolved death. Critics got involved as this feud was continuing, stating that 2-Pac wasn't what Hip-Hop was about and that he was just a "gangsta rapper" trying to make a statement by "rep-ping" the west coast as strong as he did and talking "shit" about those who he felt were not up to his level of aesthetics. 2-Pac did become arrogant as these statements were being made and shot punchlines back at the press, stating "that they didn't know a goddamn thing about him or what he represented" his issue was that if Biggie Smalls could rep Brooklyn on every stage that he entertained, why was it such a big deal when he did it?

There is an article (link on page) that goes further into details about these issues. It was also, followed up by an "Hidden Unreleased Video" of 2-Pac.

Continued... The Rivalry

This rivalry started with music videos and lyrics launched by west coast rapper 2-Pac. 2-pac was aware of the animosity that was going on with Bad Boy Records and his label Death Row. However, that didn't stop the feud between the two labels. Some believe that the debate was over who was the most popular by fans and who sold the most records according to Box Office Hits. 2-pac was on the set of the single of his 1992 album where it feature a "look-a-like" Faith Evans. Faith Evans was a good friend and lifelong companion of Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. In his song, he was making verbal disses about his "so called" relationship between the famous R&B singer stating that they were an item under closed doors. Of course when Bad Boy Records heard of these accusations, and wanted to fire back with another song, that they would release, doing the same thing. Rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Ice-Cube, and their protege's and hype-men decided to get personal and bash the Death Row Label and the 1993 Music Awards seen on Cable Television MTV.
