Tupac music is being raped

Ultimate_Superman · 10-12-2006, 09:00 AM

I am sad to say I will not buy another Pac album ever again. I didn't buy Loyal to the game and after hearing some of the tracks off of this album I will not buy this as well. I don't understand why they have Pac working with people he never met or letting people produce his album knowing damn well he would not work with them. I mean come on no they should have learned by now if your not going to release the OG verisons then then atleast put people on the album Pac worked with.

I'm sure Tupac is rolling in his grave upon realizing you're not buying a CD.

The Lizard · 10-12-2006, 09:03 AM

So I guess this is the rap equivalent of the Star Wars Special Editions, eh?

If George Lucas was dead, that is....

Even when he's dead, the neck bulge will live on to haunt us.

Some might complain that they're tired of hearing all these "new" Pac songs, but people seem to forget this is exactly what Pac wanted, which is to have people listening to his music even after his death.

Now I'm sure a lot of these remixes completely ruin the original impact of the songs, but the only way people keep listening and buying is to hear "new versions".

"tupic music is being raped"

You mean, kind of like when Rappers take music from bands that don't even like Rap?

Mr Sparkle · 10-12-2006, 09:40 AM

no, like when Jodie Foster got raped, but with music.

Then it must be garbage.

Elvis is Dead
Roy Orbison is dead.
John Lennon is Dead
Kurt Cobain is dead.
Jimi Hendrix is Dead
John Bonham is Dead
(I could go on for a few days)......and people actually go out of their WAY to continue listening to and buying the Original music by those artists, decades after they die.

Duende Verde · 10-12-2006, 09:45 AM

You should buy it, it's the only way Tupac would have wanted it.
Otherwise he wouldn't have recorded an unlimited ammount of "unreleased" tracks that will still be selling until the end of time.

Are you talking about sampling? I don't see that type of thing ending. It's what started rap in the first place.

I'm talking about the young/new rap listeners. A lot of them don't go back to the old-school music, they only focus on what's on the radio and whatnot. There are still millions of Tupac fans out there that just stick to the originals.

Duende Verde · 10-12-2006, 10:00 AM

They should change the title of this thread to:
"Tupac music is being rapped"

Sloth7d · 10-12-2006, 10:03 AM

I still think that its not Tupac on those new songs and that someone (paid by deathrow Rec.) is impersonating him.

Rayne · 10-12-2006, 10:19 AM

I agree 100%. The loss of Tupac and subsequent albums of "music" destroyed my love and interest in rap & hip-hop. I can't listen to any of it anymore b/c I just get angry at one, that Tupac's music is so much not his, and that everyone's rapping about bling and *****es. That 2nd part, if anything, is probably what would upset him most. No one talks about the things Tupac rapped about - it's sad.

I don't want it to end.
I was just saying, it's pretty silly for threadmaker to bemoan the idea of taking existing music and modifying it in ways that were never intended by the original artist when that's one of the very foundations of Rap music.

Ultimate_Superman · 10-12-2006, 10:41 AM

The moment Pac said G-Unit and my N**** 50 in a song I knew I would never buy another one of his albums

Darthphere · 10-12-2006, 11:05 AM

It took you what? 10 posthumous albums to figure this out?

When and in which song did Tupac say that??? How did they create that effect with his voice?

Crooklyn · 10-12-2006, 11:12 AM

2 years ago, in the song "Loyal to the Game". They simply manipulated his words (Pac pretty much said every word in the dictionary with all his lyrics) to put it together and make it sound like he was biggin' up G-Unit.

"biggin' up"

damn I'm square.

Movies205 · 10-12-2006, 11:19 AM

You think you'd be complaining about a much more important issue in this topic which is the total rape of hip-hop culture which paints all black people as people who love to be gangsters and crooks... But hey, as long as we got booty dancers let's complain about how people are stealing music from dead artists... oh wait that's been happening since the dawn of time.

He didn't say "ennui" or "hay bailer" or "Rosicrucianism".
