"from the death row forum

First let me start with the Don , You all know about the next Tupac album some production, and guest apperances well according to Carlos Coleman, and Tremaine Maxie, representatives @ Amaru records That has not been finalized, They do have tracks recorded with Mariah, R.Kelly, and Janet as well as other artist some unnamed people doing vocals as well.

Carlos stated that they have different versions of tracks by different artist singing hooks, and doing Productions it just depends on the right business move to release the best tracks... And they are only 50 percent done with the album, Carlos stated that the album will be a double album, but we only did a bout 14 tracks, we want to put atleast 25 on the lp...

Tremaine stated that this album will definately be the best After death album from The late Great superstar, and it will be a couple of mor big names that will apper on the lp, names that everybody thought Tupac would never work with.. According to Carlos, 2pac will not only release his lp, in 2006, But will be featured on 2 of the biggest names in R and B and pop History and also they will release the 2pac Spoken word lp, this September, It will be a god album Treamaine stated...

But back to the guest appearnces on the 2pac album, Carlos said that they are currently getting tracks done with Mary J. Blidge, and is trying to get Danny Boy on soe of his recordings, We all Remember 2pac glory days and we are trying to go back to those You know tracks like I aint mad at cha, and Picture me rollin that was Danny boy on those tracks I think they had a good chemistry. It's only right to get him back with Pac, And as for as Tupac featuring on other lp's Tremaine stated that Representives from the Michael Jackson Camp wants to do a collaeration saying that it will make big news if they appeared on a track, so lets see how that goes. And he will definately be heard on the next Prince lp, that is slated for a 2006 release if you all did not know Tupac was a big fan of Prince, sampling alot of his work, such as To live and Die in LA, and Whats ya phone no... Carlos said, That Prince might make a appearence 2pac's lp too, we might get him to do the title track stated that the title track sampled one of Prince's songbut would not give me the title as of yet.. So Look for the lp, to feature more artist and some of the names that was earlier reported to be on the lp, might not make it, More great news for Pac this looks lik a great album if some of the names, and producers make this lp, then this looks like a promising Tupac album that album will go 10 x platinum."

my three favorite artists, together???!!??! Tupac, MJ & Prince? If this is true, I may have just died and be hearing about this in heaven..

wow sounds like it would be HOT! i just hope the new record is better then that loyal to the game shit. i hated that record with a passion

Moonwalkbjrain said:

Me too. I can't stand Eminem's soulless, mechanical-ass production. The only decent track on the whole CD was the DJ Quik remix of 'loyal to the game' that was added on as a bonus track. all eminem's productions sucked. and nobody in their right mind wants to hear g-unit, jadakiss, obie trice, or elton john on a tupac album.

this new album will be hot, i heard they have all of the original producers that 'pac worked with working on it. thats definately a good move. i really hope this MJ & prince thing is true too.

I would bet this turns out to be nothing but rumour.

Well, I'm hoping it would, 2pac was absolutely dreadful, complete waste of space. (IMO - before the crybabies chime in - no one's stopping you from liking him).

And one would hope Prince had a little more about him than to take advantage of his dead corpse being whored around the music industry for cash.

Can't agree more. Pac didn't impress me when he first appeared on Digital Underground's "Same Song" and no subsequent releases changed my mind about his voice and rapping abilities.

MJ with Tupac? OH HELL NO!!! I'd rather they just leave my should'a been baby's daddy resting in peace! The thought of Michael going "heeee hee" anywhere near Pac's sexy ass voice is making me WANT TO HURL!!!

(Inhale....exhale...inhale...exhale) Ok, I'm better now.

On the otherhand, Prince and Tupac together on a recording sounds HOT AS HELL! I always said those two should have gotten together, especially when Prince was dabbling in Rap, Pac would have hooked that shit up for Prince, no disrespect to Tony M, (ok...maybe some but the truth is what it is!)

2006 eh, possible new music from Prince and my should'a been baby's daddy, and quite possibly something from them together! Thank goodness because musically 2005 has been sucking major turds!!

No one has to cry, your whole post reflects just how much you know...not a damn thing!

SexyBeautifulOne said:

c'mon! a mike/2pac callabo sounds interesting

Moonwalkbjrain said:

No, to me it sounds frightening!!

Um, I thought 2pac was fucking dead?????

I certainly hope so. Prince would be stooping to an all time low. Hell, I'd rather see him record with Whitney Houston.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Wow, I guess you have never heard 'Pac's "Letter To My Unborn Child" which sampled Liberian Girl. That is one of the best songs ever, of any genre. Without a doubt.



"Dear Lord, please tell me what to say,
To my unborn seed, in case I pass away?
Will my child get to feel love?
Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs?
'Cause being black hurts..."

I don't think there's more than 10 songs I have heard in my entire life that make me cry everytime I listen to them... This is one of them... and 'Pac has at least 3 others that do the same to me...

Moonwalkbjrain said:

Paris, is that you?

FUCK MJ & Prince collaborating with 2pac--all they could add is backing vocals and silly jingles despite their talent.

What pac needs is a collaboration with a talented fellow rapper--say, Tony M.?

Militant said:

beautiful song..a fave...can u imagine if mike sang the chorus? o man that woulda been sweeeeet!

I hope it's true and it happens. I know that 2pac was 1 of the hiphop artist that P respected a lot. He would do the project justice. Depending on the song MJ could add something positive as well!

rando310 said:

He is, but I understand that he has some music in his own vault

2006 release?????
I hope this is just a rumour.

rando310 said:

i saw 'im at white castle with elvis the other day...

ELBOOGY said:

and how exactly do you know that? please inform us of your sources where Prince states unequivically that he respected 2Pac alot, and not some "vanilla celebrity I like that artist speal" that is generaly given. I want hardcore facts that he actually respected 2Pac alot, which to state you know with such confidence could only come with first hand experience. did P tell you himself?

dumbass said:

I would tend to agree with this person as well. P manages to convince MANY hip hop artists to not sample his work. Tupac either ignored him on MANY occasion, or Prince let the shit slide. Which, granted, doesn't mean he respects him, but it says something. Plus, Tupac would use his Prince samples in semi positive songs, or songs that didn't completely degrade themselves, women, or humans. The best sample I ever heard was 2 Live And Die in LA. Do Me Baby has NOTHING to do with living or dying in LA...but the sample fits and works PERFECTLY!

As to those who say Pac has no talent. U try to do what he does and write the wonderful words he does. I think u'll find yourself lacking in ability. So I guess it does require SOME talent. Seeing as how U're not able to do it.

There is no substance to this rumour.

I did NOT know that until you just bought it up that Pac sampled Prince on To Live and Die in LA. At first, I couldn't figure out what you was talkin' about until I played the song in my head and realized that he sampled Do Me, Baby.
Man you learn somethin' everyday.

I'd put money down that this will never happen.

Well, I have made up many a rhyme in my day, I just couldn't and wouldn't spit them out of my mouth in such an ignorant thuggish tone and manner. Also, if I were given the proper equipment and an endless amount of time to play with it, I believe I would soon be able to use a sample for my background music also. Of course, I have no desire to be a rapper but I could easily do it if I put all my time and energy into it, wanted it bad enough, and lowered myself enough to be made a clown of.

Even if someone had no talent whatsoever, it doesn't take talent to know talent. Tupac's "music", if that's what you want to call it, was nothing but a "story" told over someone else's music. In other words, it was a thugged out version of "As The World Turns". Hell, give me something to dance to and keep the "stories" for the old folks in the rocking chair on the front porch to tell.

vainandy said:

First. not all of Tupac's music contains samples. Much of it is original and contains no samples. And obviously U haven't read much of Tupac's work. I'm not doubting your own "talent," but he was as much of an uplifting force for our community as he was a "negative". I put negative in quotes, cuz everyones gotta have fun. And if U say U've never called a woman bitch or a ho...U need to be commended as a saint. Cuz EVERYONE I have EVER talked to has discussed women in the same manner as Tupac.
I can go on and on about this...so I'm just gonna stop now.

I have no problem with "bitches" and "whores" (a "ho" is something cheap so I do have a problem with them). I see bitches and whores as strong women and I have the upmost respect for them.

I would never carry myself as a "thug" though. A "thug" is a low life, low class, gutter trash, criminal. The last thing I would glorify would be a thug.

Your penis has disappeared with this stratement...check for yourself...*poof*...it's disappeared.

Someone has bigger balls if they go against that rediculous thug image rather than go along with it, especially at a time when that image is dominating everything. Someone that dresses and acts like everyone else, ain't got no balls at all.
