I first heard Pac on Digital Underground's Same Song when I was in grade eight. I'm 26 now. So I was a fan of his music before he was a big star. Before he was getting locked up, sued, shot. Yes being dead adds to the ledgend. But only because of how his life and death were expressed through his music. I find it incredable that Pac could write about his death as if it had already occured. That he compiled a mountain of material to leave the world because he new his time here was limited. Being dead adds to his ledgend but 2Pac created that ledgend through his God given talent and creative expression.

NEW TUPAC TRACKS AS SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY APPROACHES
As we approach the seventh anniversary of Tupac Shakur's death more
posthumous releases are in the pipeline.

On 7 Oct Death Row Records will release 'Death Row Presents 2Pac Nu-Mixx
Klazzics while on 4 Nov Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur will spearhead the
release of the soundtrack to MTV Films' 'Tupac: Resurrection'.

Meanwhile DJs Green Lantern, DJ Vlad and DJ Dirty Harry have been working on
a second installment of the 'Rap Phenomenon CD' which mixes in Tupac raps
with new songs. Vlad explains: "We've been busting our asses for months on
this one. It's especially important because it's the anniversary of his
death and some people think he's going to come back on that day. In a way
we're bringing him back. We actually created a whole album full of new Tupac
songs. Most of the vocals, the die-hard Tupac fans have heard. For the
general population, it's going to be like, 'Oh, what's that?' It's going to
be a lot of stuff people really haven't heard."

The album includes Tupac's vocals on top of popular instrumentals like the
Black Eyed Peas' 'Where Is the Love?', as well as tracks based around
original beats made by themselves or producers like Midi Mafia.

Responding to some criticism in the hip hop community of producers "messing"
with Tupac's lyrics Vlad continues: "People are trying to maintain beefs
they don't even know anything about. We're not trying to have the beef era
frozen in time. We're showing how great Pac was by taking his old records
and giving it a modern backdrop and including people who are relevant and
have respect for Pac."
