Info: New Double CD to be released on March 27th, 2001
Until The End Of Time, a double CD of songs written and performed by 2Pac during the exhilarating, controversial and ultimately tragic last year of his life, will be released by Amaru/Death Row/Interscope Records on March 27, 2001.

Featuring more than 20 selections, Until The End Of Time brings together the full range of 2Pac's thoughts and emotions following his release from prison in late 1995 until his death on September 13, 1996.

The tracks on Until The End Of Time are the never-before-released recordings the phenomenally prolific rapper was working on before his murder. From the inspirational ("Letter To My Unborn," "Until The End Of Time") to the combative ("Last One Left," "All Out"), from thoughtful touching songs ("Mama's Just A Little Girl," "Happy Home") to getting' crazy party songs ("Let Em Have It," "Thug N U Thug N Me"), Until The End Of Time delves into the complete 2Pac, tracing his life and experiences as expressed through his own words and many of the songs he intended to be on his next album.

Executive produced by Suge Knight and Afeni Shakur, Until The End Of Time was culled from 2Pac's Death Row catalog. Until The End Of Time is the first of two double CDs of songs from the same Makaveli period; the second double CD will be released at the end of the year.

Info: Eminem on 2Pac
This was an interview done quite a while ago. Eminem was asked if Tupac is one of his favourite rappers. His response:"It's one of them. 2-Pac was at one time my favourite rapper. 2-Pac was more of a feel emcee, a feel rapper. That's what I'm trying to do with my new s**t."

Info: KC & JO JO's include Tupac song on new album "X"

KCi & Jojo released their new album "X" with the song titled "Thug N U Thug N Me" which features Tupac in 3 verses. Many people think this Tupac song was a never before released song that was recorded before Tupac's death, yet I think not. This song is a brand new song recorded with KC & Jo Jo. In the credits section KC & Jo Jo mention two of their friends who produced tracks for the cd and died, yet their is no mention to Tupac or that he died. Recently, KC & Jo Jo were asked about the Tupac song and Jo Jo released this comment:
" Don't be buggin 'bout the Tupac song. We (KC & Jo Jo) decided that "Thug N U Thug N Me" (Tupac's song) would be a good addition to our new CD. I don't wanna talk about when it was produced or who it was produced for." - a little suspicious??

Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur has recently trademarked his late son's name "Tupac" therefore websites or domain names throughout the internet that contains the word "Tupac" were continously shut down as all legal rights in the use of the word "Tupac" was pa*sed on to Afeni Shakur. I hope this site doesn't get shut down! If it does, I will return with a new site, at a new address.

Info: Tupac in Scary Movie?

I was watching the comedy movie, "Scary movie" when the song "All Bout U" came on. The girl that plays the part of Ivory-Wayan's girlfriend then says "I love this song, this is my favourite track" (or something similar) then starts singing and dancing to the song. Just a small "appearance" in the new movies today! Nice to see that they still remember him though.

Info: Lost Shakur Recordings to Be Released Teenage Tupac captured on "The Lost Tapes"

Previously unreleased tapes of Tupac Shakur's first recordings will soon see the light of day. Chopmaster J, a founding member of Bay Area rap icons Digital Underground, recently discovered ten tracks from Shakur's first-known recording session and will release them as The Lost Tapes. The tracks were thought to have perished in the 1991 Oakland fires that ravaged the Digital Underground's recording studio as well as several of the group members' homes. However, Chopmaster J recently discovered a master reel of the decade-old Shakur recordings in the basement of his mother's house. The Lost Tapes features a seventeen-year-old Shakur backed by his original group, Strictly Dope. Chopmaster J produced the recordings, which are said to have landed Shakur his first gig with Digital Underground back in 1989, earning him a cameo on their single, "Same Song." Chopmaster J is giving away twenty copies of the album through www.daveyd.com, but plans for further release have not been established.

Info: Outlawz File Multi-Million Dollar Suit Against Death Row

Tupac's Outlawz posse files $4.5 million suit against Death Row, Interscope The Outlawz have filed a $4.5 million lawsuit against Death Row Records, the label's incarcerated chief Marion "Suge" Knight, Death Row's distributor Interscope Records, Suge Knight Films and Suge Publishing. Filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the suit cites eleven complaints, including breach of contract, unfair business practices, intentional interference with prospective economic advantages and racketeering, just to name a few. The dispute centers around the Outlawz' album, Still I Rise, recorded with the late Tupac Shakur, which was released by Death Row in December of 1999. According to the law firm representing the Outlawz, "Death Row and Knight have falsely a*serted to third parties that the Outlawz remain obligated under the Recording Agreement [to Death Row]." The Outlawz claim that their contract with Death Row was null and void as of May of 1999, seven months prior to the album's actual release. Representatives for the Outlawz also maintain that Death Row and Knight instructed Interscope not to include the Outlawz in any promotion for Still I Rise. In addition to the album dispute, the Outlawz also allege that they received no compensation for their unauthorized appearance in Death Row Uncut, a video produced by Suge Knight Films. In February, attorneys for the Outlawz sent a cease and desist letter to Death Row and Interscope, asking them to stop promoting the group as part of the Death Row roster. Neither Death Row nor Interscope were available for comment.
