....On a side note, how many people think Tu Pac is still alive?

 

I thought with all the albums he's released in that last 7 years that he was still alive.

 

RIP. God of OG Rap.

I don't listen to rap at all..., but Tupac was definitely one of the best rappers of his time and still today he retains that title! His poetry was also something else....
So is there another Tupac album scheduled to come out or what?

In some purist circles, simply put, yes. He was never considered the best rapper, but his rhymes had a way of relating to everyone, and also helped many get through their problems. His rhymes were considered simple compared to other glorified rappers such as Rakim or GZA (among many others), but they were real and envoked true emotion that covered a wide range of issues. I wouldn't say he's overrated though, he does hold the unofficial title of G.O.A.T., and considering he was only 25, it was astounding the amount of work he had done... I think when it's all said and done, he may be known for his life, and his trials and tribulations, just as much as his music.

 

Ya, Look for the Tupac: Ressurection movie soundtrack to come out on its scheduled date, November 4th, which is rumored to have 5-10 more unreleased tracks (not bootlegs, but unreleased), and Deathrow has Nu MIxx CLassics coming out october 7th, but these are just remixes of previous songs.

Also, and probably the thing that Im anticipating even more than the soundtrack, is the Tupac: Ressurection movie scheduled to release November 14th. It's being released in accordance with Paramount Pictures, and it's slated to be released moderately nationwide...

There has been an album released every year since his death, so who knows how much material they have left, he was known to be a workaholic, but they could be running out of material, Im not sure...

 

speaking of tupac, i was at MGM grand where he got shot sept 13 unfortuanetly no one mentioned anything about him... it was still pretty neat for me though cuz i was at the big fight
