The album was called Makavelli: the don Killuminati: The Seven Day Theory (I believe). Was he alluding to something about the Saturn Seven Cycle or what do you think? By the way last September was the 7 year anniversary of his death.

Hey isn't the statute of limitation for criminal persecution on faking your death 7 years, is it?
Also, does "Killuminati" remind you guys of some kind of order?

I think that the law of attraction is valid but what about someone who might predict it (however they do)...and what about those "coincidences"?
It was really only his last album I think that he was talking about being killed that much. His song, "I Ain't Mad At Ya" was the video in which he had himself being shot and going to heaven. That song wasn't on Makavelli though.

His label has been putting out more albums with his never - before - released songs on it or someting like that, but I'm talking about the last one before he died.

In college we used to call him Onepac, because he had one of his balls blown off in a drive by a few years prior to his death.

Then once he'd been gunned down we'd call him Nopac, either because he sustained another shot to the groin or for the fact that, if you're dead your "pacs" cease to exist essentially - hence: Nopac.

Ahhh, cold-hearted ******** (bitches) were we...

in my eyes he was def a genius...AND had some pretty cool coinkydink stuff going down too...

I was basing my opinion of his genius on his lyrics and his flow.

This is a very selfish rant against self so if ya don`t wany to read it, press next now

After listening to Kid Rock for 30 minutes, I exploded in anger and with a horrid headache, I shut the CD player off.... after I promised mys-elf I would try AGAIN to listen to rap and believe me, I`ve tried them all.

I can`t listen to rap and it makes me feel guilty. It strikes my last nerve. I actually get an instant headache when I hear it I dislike/hate no music except rap. The worst part is I have no reason except the jarring nerve
wracking repetive lyrics pounding my overloaded sensory system

My Cancer so enjoys most of it and I feel so crappy because I have no tolerence for it. Hell, the world loves it, so how can I feel such abject misery and agony listening to it? If there`s help for me learning to tolerate it, I`d be so grateful to hear how!!

Maybe you weren't meant to listen to rap, love. I know that some of the most negative music I've ever listened to has ALSO come from the rap genre. Let's not overlook the fact that rap music has played its own part in the degradation of Western culture and anyone that would deny the part that it, and other forms of popular music play, simply hasn't been paying much attention. Don't think of yourself as the "uncool" knowflake...heavens no. You're about as cool as they come juniperb, dear friend.

Love,

Rap music can't be tolerated by all. That's okay. Jazz music can't be appreciated by all either. We each have our own tastes.

As I personally don't believe in conincidence, Silverbells, I do believe you might be on to something very profound. Many people in the Rap community refuse to believe Tupac is dead.

Oooh... he was (is?) SO handsome. I used to tease my hubby that if there was one man I would run off with, it would be Tupac... or maybe Usher oooh... I have the biggest crush on Usher!

No rotten fruit from me, Isis. I respect you too much for that . I'm not suprised to find you and I don't have the same tastes in music.

I`ve made my last attempt to understand or like rap. I`ve tried Tony Loc (sp) to Snoop Dog to Eminem and a whole lot of others. Thats a variety and at least I tried. Yer right Daf, music is such an influential media it`s almost frightening as whats out there. Ah well,you all probably feel about the same with my classic country

My second choice would be Pharrell.

As some of you may know I love hiphop, and most of my music work is based around it, and get to see some cool US artists when they visit here. I loved Tupac's lyrics, or his 'flow' how he was clever with verse, and used breath control. I've just read 'Inside a Thug's Heart' by Angela Ardis, accounts of their letters, whilst he was in jail.

I have to go since I'm 'hot-deskin' today at my day job and being moved!

Inna bit!

Special - Tupac's flow was incredible and I know what you mean about the breath I don't know if I would call it breath control or what, but it was something! I wonder how these rappers and rock and rollers and such maintain their lung capacity when they probably smoke all of the time.

People say that he was so violent but he used to donate to charites anonymously and stuff like that (I'm pretty sure that's what I heard). And he visited and befriended this little child who was in the hospital from being mauled by a dog. He didn't even know them, he just heard aboout it on the news or something like that. GEMINIS!! What do you know.
