April 16, 2013 The majority of 2Pac's younger crowds (and a good majority of the older type) probably don't know or remember that the West Coast Hip-Hop legend, born Tupac Amaru Shakur, got his start in the music business as a rodie/back-up dancer for the Oakland rap group, Digital Underground. Some other often forgotten facts
Tupac Shakur may be gone, but he’s still winning awards. Actually, his hologram won the prestigious Titanium and Integrated Lions Award at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The event, which is a neighboring awards ceremony to the Cannes Film Festival, honors achievements in advertising/digital production.
The Tupac Shakur hologram was such a big hit at the Coachella Music Festival that talks are underway to bring it on tour with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. The Wall Street Journal reports that reps for Dre and Snoop are figuring out the logistics to bring the virtual Tupac on a proposed joint trek.
Before leaving the Los Angeles Police Department, Greg Kading made copies of reports and recorded confessions pertaining to the separate murder cases of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace (aka Notorious B.I.G. and Biggie Smalls).
Those materials are a big part of Kading’s new self-published book ‘Murder Rap.’ Due October 4, the book includes a claim by a police informant who says he was offered $1 million by Sean “Diddy” Combs to kill Shakur and Suge Knight, who ran Death Row Records, Shakur’s label home.
Fifteen years after the death of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, a sex tape featuring the star has reportedly surfaced and is being shopped around to the highest bidder.
TMZ reports the five-minute recording from 1991 co-stars Digital Underground member Money B, and shows Tupac receiving pleasures of the oral sort from an unidentified young lady during a house party.
