My Interests

THIS CD CONTAINS NO MUSIC BY TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR (2PAC):
This CD contains music by some of the artists who grew out of the shadow of the fallen ‘street souljah’ and teacher, TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR, and who have love for the ‘man’ himself and what he stood for.
As TUPAC did in his short life, we looked for artists who could use a ‘hand up’ to get their talent noticed. We hope this project will do just that. Our hope is this project will bring ‘light’ to those artists who have participated out of love for TUPAC and what they learned from his lyrics. Hip Hop is not ‘Dead’ as many people believe. The people are just not looking in the right places.
You will recognize some of the artists on this project, while others maybe new to you; but the artists represented here are some of the best hip hop representatives from all over North America – ‘Coast’ to ‘Coast’ and Canada.
The various sides and teachings of the ‘man’, TUPAC SHAKUR are represented on this CD - from his street side, to his political side, to his deep inner self. A total look is taken at the course TUPAC had traveled in his short life. A picture of TUPAC’s life is a picture of many of our lives. His up’s and down’s are roads many of us have shared along the way. That is why TUPAC gained the respect of almost everyone in the hip hop community - we could feel his pain and joys, as he felt ours. His words and teachings remain relevant today because the situation has not changed since Pac first started exposing the real truth of hood life, and the artists on this project continue with Pac’s message of keeping it real thru real talk. No spinning rims or drinking in the club, just solid true about the reality of being raised in a society that does not understand you or your situation.
Violence has touched many in this country, not only the hip hop community. This is not only a requiem for the life of TUPAC and for all the fallen ‘souljahs’ who have died needlessly or have found themselves in situations they cannot control, but it also emphasizes why the lyrics that Tupac spit and the knowledge he put forth is still relevant today; because nothing has really changed over the last 11 years since Tupac was murdered.
We would like to thank the artists who have participated in this unique project. All the artists volunteered their services out of love for TUPAC and they carry on in teaching and exposing the condition of the hoods from all across the nation and as a way of expressing their gratitude to him for being the man and teacher he was.
We would like to give special thanks to binky mack for all his hard work, not only in participating in this project, but as being the Co-Executive Producer of the project as well.
This is planned as a Vol. One. If it is widely accepted and if you are an artist who has meaningful music with a message and would like to be considered for Vol. Two – please send an email HERE for info.
The album is being on Universal/AMG/Thug Life Army Records
Street Release date soon to be announced.
This release has all it’s clearances and licensing fees have been paid. This is not a bootleg project. Support the real. WE DO NOT SUPPORT BOOTLEGGING OF ANYTHING TO DO WITH TUPAC.
