"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Since This Week Has Become The Unofficial Tupac Rememberance Week… Thanks To Holographic Tupac’s Appearance At Coachella…
I figured I might as well share this with you. A few years ago, I had hoped to bring Tupac’s memory back into current day’s pop culture. My plan was to give “Tupac Resurrection” on DVD to Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. This of course was before Kim Kardashian came into the picture and these 3 girls were running the entertainment media and tabloid industries.
I had a specific statement to each of the three girls, where I felt their individual lives had obstacles very similar to the obstacles in Tupac’s Life, and that they could benefit by learning from his life.
To Paris: I told her that just like herself, Pac was misunderstood by the media and the world. I also managed to give her this DVD on her Birthday.
To Lindsay: I told her that just like herself, Pac was young and thrust into the limelight and had to deal with problems in the legal system
To Britney: I had planned to tell her that just like herself, Pac was ripped apart by the public and scrutinized for his actions. I never had the chance to give her the DVD.
So that was my attempt to immerse the Spirit and Memory of Tupac into today’s pop culture.
Sorry, but I didn’t have Dr. Dre’s budget for a Hologram.

After such a huge weekend at Coachella, performing with Dr. Dre, Snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, the Dogg Pound, and of course, Tupac Shakur, it’s only right that Warren reminds you that he’s still very much in the game, and ready to Regulate for 2012.
And if you haven’t heard the latest single, or watched the video, here’s the latest Warren G track to run a rampage through the streets…
“Leave You Alone” by Young Jeezy ft. Ne-Yo…Produced by Warren G.

Just as Prophecy had Prophesied... The Greatest Hip-Hop Artist / Revolutionary / Orator Of All Time was Resurrected Last Night To Join The Stage With Dr. Dre and Snoop, The Dogg Pound with Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, and Wiz Khalifa and Warren G, 50 Cent and Eminem.
The Holographic 2Pac performed Hail Mary and 2 Of Amerika’s Most Wanted, bring joy and delight to not only Tupac fans, but to Afeni Shakur who approved the performance after being asked by the Doctor.
The Hologram, which was used for Mariah Carey in Europe, was also intended to bring Nate Dogg on stage, but Dre and Snoop decided to give Nate a video tribute instead.
This was definitely a sight for sore eyes and a sound for sore ears, for those who loved Tupac and all that he stood for.
Hopefully last night will remind the World just how much violence can rob not only a life, not only a family, but an entire World.
We Will Miss You Always Pac.
Remember me, as an Outcast Outlaw
Another album out that’s what I’m about, More
Gettin raw till the day I see my casket
Buried as a G while the whole world remembers me
Until the end of time

“Boyz N’ The Hood” Director John Singleton was spotted at The Grove on Thursday having a lovely Father / Daughters day with his two daughters. I’m sure he spent a pretty penny taking the two shopping, but why not. Your children are precious, so you might as well spoil them. It’s also great seeing John, who also directed Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur in Poetic Justice, doing the full on family thing and enjoying himself while doing it.
John’s most recent work “Abduction” starred Twilight’s Taylor Lautner. I wonder how his daughters must’ve felt when he brought them on set. They must’ve been like “Dad, I didn’t know you were this cool“. And John probably said to them “I Invented Cool”

Today Marks the 15 Year Anniversary of when Christopher Wallace, A.K.A. The Notorious B.I.G. A.K.A. Biggie Smalls was gunned down in front of the Petersen Automotive Museum off Fairfax and Wilshire in Los Angeles.
Wallace was attending the Vibe Magazine Soul Train Music Awards After-Party on Saturday Night, March 9th, 1997 when he was gunned down by an unknown assailant, who drove off into the night…. putting an end to the East Coast / West Coast Beef that culminated in the most tragic losses in Hip-Hop History… including Tupac’s Murder in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand on September 7th, 1996.
And just as Dexter Isaac wrote a letter from jail admitting his responsibility for shooting Tupac at the Times Square Studios in 1994 on the 15 year anniversary of his death… Today, Retired Los Angeles Police Detective, Greg Kading announced that he knows who pulled the trigger in Biggie’s murder… The man in question is also deceased, dying from gunshot wounds.
For the sake of my safety, considering everybody knows my whereabouts at all times… I will not go any further into these claims and allegations.. you can search them all out yourself as many other sites have posted this information.
In the end, no amount of murder or case solving, or evidence or finger pointing will ever bring back our 2 Greatest Hip-Hop Artists of All Time, Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace.
In the end, our lesson to take from this is the fact that life is precious… and each individual and unique life happens only once, and once it is gone, it is gone for good.
R.I.P. B.I.G.
