Should Keefe D get Life in Prison for Murder of Tupac?

 

 One of the last living witnesses to the fatal shooting of Tupac Shakur, was charged with murder. He is a onetime gangster linked to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur has admitted he knows who shot the rapper dead.

Keefe D pleaded not guilty to the murder of Tupac Shakur, 27 years after the influential rapper's shooting. Now his request to be freed from prison before his trial has been receiving some heat as prosecutors state he's too dangerous.

What If Biggie and Tupac Were Still Alive?

If Biggie and Tupac were still alive, would half the rappers that's in the music industry be there? Would Jay-Z or Nas gotten as far as they did?

What if both artist would be less relevant if they were alive? Many say their deaths cause the impact of there music being as great as it is, but I feel otherwise.

Tupac's All Eyez on Me album was one of the greatest albums of the 90's if you ask me. All cultures was buying this album and it sold through the roof. Shakur has sold over 75 million records worldwide, so think how many it would be if he never was killed.

Death sells records. As sales of posthumous albums by murdered stars the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur and Selena have shown, it is increasingly easy to become No. 1 with a bullet.

For instance, the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Life After Death" album, released just two weeks after B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace, a k a Biggie Smalls) was gunned down in Los Angeles, sold 685,000 copies the first week.

In the week after Smalls's death, about 10,000 copies of his 1994 debut, "Ready to Die," were sold, now compare that to Tupac Shakur, who sold 67,000 records in the week following his murder.

Would Tupac and Biggie be considered GOAT rappers if they weren’t killed? What if they were still alive today, would there be mumble rappers? Just think. would the industry have to search so hard for that next big hit? Would album sales have fallen?

Do you think Tupac and Biggie would have settled the beef? How much would be different? Would they still be remembered and praised the same way they are now?

Tupac's BMW Sold For $1.5 Million

The liquidation of Tupac Shakur's estate continues as it has been announced that the very vehicle he was shot in on September 7, 1996, is now up for sale for $1.5 million.

Photos, news clippings and video from the night Shakur was gunned down while riding shotgun alongside Suge Knight on the Vegas Strip, have forever encapsulated the image of the bloody scene. The BMW 750IL brings the historical value of the rap great's final days as it still bears the markings of bullets. Although the car has been restored, indentations remain on the license plate, and inside the door panels.

Records reveal that the Beemer has changed hands several times since the incident two decades ago. It was initially impounded and sold by the Vegas Police Department. Now it sits at an auction house with more than 90k miles on it. Just last year Tupac's vintage Hummer H1 sold for nearly $340,000.

Understanding #MoviesWeLove Menace II Society

Menace II Society is much more than your typical hood movie. Caine narrates the story of his life, explaining how after the riots, drugs came into effect, and affected his home life as a child.

Tupac Shakur was originally supposed to play a role in the film but was fired by Allen Hughes, apparently because Tupac was causing problems on the set. Things later escalated on the set of a music video, when members of Tupac's entourage were found beating up on Allen Hughes.

Menace 2 Society is about a young street hustler attempts to escape the rigors and temptations of the ghetto in a quest for a better life. In an unflinching look at the mean streets of the contemporary urban American ghetto, a Black youth--despite his dreams for a better life--ultimately succumbs to the cycle of violence that pervades his community.

Erotic Drawing Of 2Pac Sold for $21K

Artwork that 2Pac made behind bars for his then-girlfriend Desiree Smith was up for auction. Steiner Auctions is behind the sale of the rare drawing, which shows 2Pac having sex with Smith with the message, 'Missing You Deeply" scrolled across the top. 

The late rapper made the drawing for Smith while locked up at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY in 1995.

The x-rated drawing that the multi talented Tupac Shakur made for his girlfriend while in prison back in 1995 was recently auctioned off for $21,155.75. TMZ reports a wealthy man in his 60s put in the final bid to secure the drawing of Pac with then-girlfriend Desiree Smith. The art piece also included a hand decorated envelope along with a love letter addressed to Smith.

Tupac had sex on the brain when he was locked up, because his rare hand-drawn love letter to his girlfriend is hitting the auction block ... and the images are extra erotic!!!

Pac was probably humming "How Do U Want It" when he was drafting up this card from jail, because the drawings show him and his girl, Desiree Smith, GETTING IT ON!

Tupac gets kinda mushy with his words, telling Desiree he loves her and misses her deeply (pun surely intended).
