Afeni Shakur Moves Against Unreleased Tupac Songs Sale

by JOKESTA

TUESDAY JULY 24, 2007

Afeni Shakur, mother of the late West Coast rapper Tupac, sought an injunction in federal bankruptcy court on Friday, July 20, 2007, claiming Death Row was attempting to sell Shakur material that belonged to the rapper’s estate.

According to the New York Post, Shakur is seeking to prevent Tupac’s former label, Death Row Records Inc., from selling the unreleased recordings as part of a bankruptcy settlement.

The recordings, which should have been turned over to the Shakur estate in 1997 as part of the agreement with the record label are now being advertised to potential buyers as the “jewel in the crown of the Death Row assets.”

According to Donald N. David, who represents the Shakur Estate, Afeni Shakur and the company she established, Amur Entertainment, requested an injunction after the label failed to confirm the songs would not be included in the bankruptcy settlement

ok check this shit out this is the best thing that would happen to pacs music.
the reason why is because if afeni gets ahold of that music she gonna remix the songs with different artist put different beats on it.she gonna fuck up the whole production of its regular recording.so i pray that the people at death row/suge knight keep these recordings.afeni is a money hungry bitch suge knight so is suge knight.they dont care about pacs music they just want money.but i tell you this all those leaked out original unreleased pac songs that was all suge knight.and thats the only respect i give suge that he will release unreleased material in its original quality.

u right...if Pac dead, why would she wanna make all the money off unreleased music...NOBODY SAYS IF THE RECORD SALES will go toward any fund or collection. Either this the case of Pac not being dead. I hope Death Row will release the original recordings to. At least it could be like Ressurection and not like Pacs Life...dont remix and add so many lame azz verses with DICKRIDIN PAC LINES...u know

Pac was a man of OUR GOD... not that cracker as god they put in our heads.
Think about every man of color that had somethin positive to say. How did they all die???
By a weapon made by the WHITE MAN. By somebody working for the man.
Martin Luther King
Malcolm X
2 Pac... the list... it goes on. Do yo History Lesson
Yall batter pay attention or we all will be on hush mode when the cracker comes in and take our beloved RAP MUSIC away.

Then what are you going to talk about. the nigga next door to you gettin popped by the cops for slaining drugs to his people. The drugs that they gave him.

Yall dumb. Aint no black man came up with ways to take money from every body living with a job and with out a job. The better your job the more money they take... More money more problems... Now Big is gone. Stupid Fucks Pac is still around because he was Just a man to walk this earth just as "Jesus" did who ever that is.
But this time He was black and he kept it a secret... his true identity. Kinda. Cuz he said i might not change nothin but i will spark the mind that has the mind to make a change. Pac knew hip hop would fall when he fell. He knew he was going to die, Listen to his lyrics.
Pac left a scroll behind. because he didn't want anybody to fuck up his message.

you know what maybe youre right. maybe us white people are the source from which all of your problems come from. maybe you should take them all out! get a group together. you could call yourselves nazis. im sure biggie, tupac, malcom x and martin l. king would love that! hell id bet jesus would appreciate your noble deed.

think about what youre saying. in my mind there is one race. the human race. peace.

Hey yall aint listening to what im saying. So yall aint hearing what im saying just like Pac, yall only listened to what you heard and you didnt actually listen to what was being said, Im not tryin to preach...Good Fella, Im tryin to save somethin i love, somethin i think the only thing "US" as a whole has. and thats Freedom of speach. I figured muthafuckas who like to write wouldn't mind to reading and listen to somebody else spittin knowlege to you fuckas but yall tellin some body thats actually tryin to make a difference to shut up.
Yall the Idiots....Cass da Best... You dick riding homo.
Im not trying to fight back with fist you silly bitch..Orda the Cookies. Words BITCH!
Im simply sayn it wasnt you who was forced to HAVE to defend our selves when your people put the GUNZ in our hands... Left a train loaded with leathal arms in the city of oakland, what did they expect. for us to leave it alone. Every body is curious but for real though, we arent the whole fault. And your people aint ready to take the Blame... We didnt ask to come yall mutha fucka Dragged us and beat and killed us and Lied to us when started to understand you. Whos fault is that.

Pac was fighting the same battle im fighting. He was willing to die for it. Tell you hes coming back. Didn't a man name "Jesus" say the same thing and every body went ape shit over the stories told about the POWERFUL MAN.
He left behind the truth. Thats why he is such a bigg deal. 2pac first album to drop after he died had what on it... Him Crusified on a cross

The album was completely finished before Shakur died and Shakur had complete creative input on the album from the name of the album to the cover, which Shakur chose to symbolize how the media had crucified him.

T H U G L I F E
"The Hate U Gave Little Infants Fucks Everybody"
Tupac Shakur Said That!
Dont tell me Im doing to much. If yall Believed in Pac believe what im saying, Im just saying what he said. and Im using CURSE WORDS like FUCKING FAGOTS and BITCHES to keep your attention. Just like Pac.,

thats real talk...thats why i'd put Jay before Pac cuz if Pac stayed in NY he wouldnt sign with Death Row...he never had his own plan mapped out! He was always hangin with the trendy nyggaz. If he stay in jail did that time and THEN got out! WHO KNOWS...but i just felt that COMING BEHIND ALL THESE GROWING LEGENDS...come on...Pac aint the greatest for that. Biggie started the foundation of Bad Boy...i respect that. Like Outkast started the LAFACE foundation for Hip Hop to base in ATL! Thats settin the trend! ya know!

Snake bite:; jesus also said love thy neighbor. stirring up hatred was not his style, and not for us to do. yet pac may have "spit the truth" so well, it really showed his dark side. That was not the kind of Example that jesus left us. And, there are many sides to each of us, depending on how we are treated,and or treat others. After being lost without gods guidance,we all tend to just go with the flow, to keep up with an Immage we had. Pac did say in a Vibe interview, that he was tired of representing THUG LIFE. and he talked about CHANGE. TOO bad NO ONE has seen much of a change in HIM. I respect your opiion,but no one can compare to jesus.

no one got a chance to see a change in him because he died shortly after that, everybody know suge set up his death, and mainly because he feared that tupac was gonna leave death row, which he was, and he didnt want anybody else to get their hands on pacs music

plus,the media didNOT "crucify" him. He did that to himself. LIVE BY THE SWORD< DIE BY THE SWORD>. He could've changed his behavior, He chose not to, that's what happened. I would rather let God-Jesus Be In Control of Me, Rather Than Let The Devil Control Me. It is up to each and everyone of us who takes possession of our soul when we die. God????? or the Devil?????? Where do u think he is? or willend up eventually??? it's a gamble....50/50.....God can't listen/hear u if you aren't making any noticable changes to get his attention? Be strong.....Fight the battle within.....every minute of every day. these are the choices that determine the outcome.......peace out....I'm just being honest...............................Number1.
