Its Tupac's birthday. I know this because of music blogs. Happy birthday pac. 2Pac x Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Changes Dosvec Mashup (right click-save as)
Happy Birthday to Tupac Amaru Shakur ... today is the day we celebrate one of the greatest hip hop artists and visionaries ever. It's really hard to explain how much of an impact this one man had on such a vast amount of people in the music world. His vision was simple... keep it 100% real... no bullshit. His drive was unbelievable. His love for the music one couldn't even begin to explain. As a fan from day one, I can say that he was pretty much amazing. So happy birthday Tupac your music will always live on.
Anyone who's followed the site knows I'm a huge Tupac fan . There's no surprise I would make a post commemorating the legendary rapper's 40th birthday. To be honest, I didn't really want to make a post, if you guys remember, when I listen to Pac it means it's my "alone time," my "Fuck off. Leave me in my own world" type of mood. Well, I just wanted to say one quick thing: fuck Dexter Isaac! I'd rather shy away from talking about Tupac Shakur's murderer, so happy birthday, Pac. Fun fact: After learning that Tupac [...]
Yesterday, our world was disrupted by the unexpected confession from one of the alleged shooters in the 1994 robbery of Tupac at Quad City. As important as the news may seem, I've chosen to forget it or at least pay it no mind for today. "June one six seven one, the day Mama pushed me out her womb..." Tupac Amaru Shakur would've been 40 today. Instead of being caught up in yesterday's drama, today let's celebrate [...]
Convicted murderer Dexter Isaac who is currently serving a life sentence has fessed up to shooting rapper/actor Tupac Shakur in 1994. Isaac has also implicated Game 's manager, Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond who is the founder of Czar Entertainment for masterminding the whole thing. In an interview with AllHipHop.com yesterday, Isaac said he wanted "to apologize to his [Tupac's] family and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Rosemond]." "In 1994, James Rosemond hired me to rob 2Pac Shakur at the Quad Studio," said [...]
Photo and autograph courtesy of my very large obtained in-person autograph collection. 2Pac Shakur Ever met 2Pac? I have. Many times. Before he was allegedly killed, he was a super cool guy. He's 40 years old today and he's probably out there somewhere reading this blog and having a laugh, so happy birthday 2Pac! Also born on this day: comedian Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy. I can confirm that he is definitely dead. [...]
born this way, June 16 1971, today we would have been celebrating the TUPAC 's 40th bgay ( aka the LESANE PARISH CROOKS) had he not died from bullet wounds on September 13 1996. wotyougot
$2,500. According to AHH , the small amount above is what Dexter Isaac, an associate of Jimmy Henchmen , claims he was paid to shoot Tupac at Quad City in 1994. While he's currently serving a 30 year prison sentence, Isaac's decided to share the news about the "the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]" now since he says the statute of limitations have expired on the crime. The inmate said "I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac and Biggie's] mothers some closure." Of course, [...]
Dear Matador Records: The new Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks song was on the internet for a minute, but there's now a "404 error - file not found" message associated with the link on Mr. Malkmus's internet-based website . If I am posting the below track in error, please drop us a line and I'll remove the file post haste. If it makes you feel better, we always encourage the readership to buy records (although, in fairness, that's usually kind of an embedded assumption; we're a little bit less explicit about consumerism [...]
Today is my mom's birthday, so this one is for her. For the longest time, I didn't tell my mom that I had my own blog. I told her I wrote music reviews but never really got into the details, because I really didn't want her reading my Lykke Li posts . (Mom: don't click on that link. Inappropriate stuff.) I'm still not entirely sure how she found out about Pigeons and Planes. A few days ago I asked my mom what she wanted for her birthday. She replied, "A Pigeons and Planes shirt." I [...]
Metal Lungies saw The Hood Internet this past year at SXSW . If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing them, The Hood Internet is a Chicago-based production duo made up of ABX and STV SLV and they are best known for providing free downloads of their mash-ups on their site: thehoodinternet.com . So, how do you stand apart in an industry filled with remixes and mash-ups? The Hood Internet take a different approach than artists like Girl Talk and Pretty Lights by composing mash-ups that bridge the gap between indie, hip hop, rap, and r&b all the [...]
Photo: Frank Micelotta/Picture Group MTV's only offering up a quick tease but take a quick listen to Wayne's latest and greatest, "Nightmares Of The Bottom," a song slated for Tha Carter IV . Wayne explained to Sway as "Everybody says it's lonely at the top. It is lonely, so I dream, though, and the only thing I dream about is being down there with the people that ain't lonely. Thank God I am alone." Also below, a snippet of the aforementioned "Hail Mary" performance which...well, [...]
We've already shared that Weezy's Unplugged performance will air on Sunday but prepare yourself. He's going to perform Pac's "Hail Mary." Many will bemoan the choice and I'd probably be among them under normal circumstances. But a few days ago, I spoke on artists paying reverence and, as exterrestial as his choices may seem at times, the little Martian is perhaps one of the few who could do justice to the thug theme song, considering that he places a lot of value and energy into his performances. [...]
Well, Jeezy did say "All I need is Trap Life across my belly, I'm Makaveli" on the intro to his latest tape, The Real Is Back . For the motion picture of his Weezy-assisted single "Ballin'," Young appears to be donning Tupac's role of "Birdie" from Above The Rim . This won't be the first time he's given a cult classic the music video homage. If you remember, "Soul Survivor" drew inspiration from Paid In Full . Until the moving picture presents itself in full, view [...]
Straight out the slums of Youtube, we trashbagged this slick little Star Slinger mix done by Youtuber MikeyW . Dave Chappelle, that ain't your wife. 2Pac x Star Slinger - I'm Gettin Innocent (MikeyW Mix) Rating: 8.0
Gramophonedzie - Brazilian Give me the sun, give me warmth, give me freedom. Give me sand to fiddle with between my toes and a breeze to whip through my hair. Give me a multi-color pastel sunset with the person of my choice beside me. Give me love. Give me my favorite beer, and a double shot to top it off. Give me an open road to travel, windows down and music blasting, the only thoughts going through my head being positive ones because there is nothing negative in this current state. [...]
We may not talk as much as we did when his father and my mother were married, but I credit a large part of my infatuation with Hip-Hop to my older stepbrother, Ryan. Being four years older, he was already heavily invested in the culture and did his best to ensure I followed suit. Back then, CD's were still catching on, so what he did for me was make actual "mixtapes." One of them housed the now legendary Madison Square Garden freestyle with Big Daddy Kane, Shyheim, Scoob, The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. [...]
