Let 2Pac rest in peace...
As a huge Tupac
Shakur fan, who will be bumpin' his music way into my 50s, I am becoming
increasingly annoyed with the speculation surrounding his death, and the fact
that he has released more posthumous albums than he did when he was alive!
Of course, it is
vital that the legacy of such a talented young man is upheld, but unfortunately
most of this post-death music has been dire. Tinny beats, previously
rejected songs and fabricated collaborations have been the height of Tupac's
career for the last 5 years.
More and more
'fans' pop up, insisting that they were 'down' since day one , and have liked
'Pac since before he died. This I seriously doubt from 12 year old boys
who hurl abuse when you as much as suggest that All Eyez On Me was kinda wack...
A few months ago,
I heard that Suge Knight & Co had actually run out of unused 2Pac material,
and that 'Better Dayz' would be 2Pac's last offering. This I was glad
about, as 'Better Dayz' is a poor excuse for an album, full of feeble remixes,
and the notion that 2Pac was untouchable (HELLO...He's DEAD!).
On the subject of
him being dead, YES, HE IS DEAD! He is not coming back on September 7th
2003, no mater how much simple-minded fans think so. They obviously don't
understand the music business...If an artist faked his death, he would be SLATED
by critics upon his comeback, and would seriously disappoint many true fans.
As 2Pac said, 'A
Coward Dies A Thousand Deaths...A True Soldier Dies But Once'.
