Who Killed Pac

Let me start this piece by saying that this originally was intended just to be a little blog about my feelings towards the allegations that Suge Knight is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur. However examining this type of thing is going to require alot more debate and research then this little piece can do justice so consider this an introduction to a much longer more in depth story.
He has been labelled the most intimidating and feared figure in the music industry. Former football player, bodyguard and later CEO of one of the biggest rap record labels of all time Marion Suge Knight is loved by very few (maybe none come to think of it) and hated by many. His business practices were described as being ruthless and violent. He scared record execs into releasing their artists, bullied people out of money or simply just for principle reasons (including his own artists) and terrorized anyone that dared to get in his company’s way. But I ask myself am I the only person that thinks he didn’t kill Tupac Shakur?Detective Russel Poole clearly doesn’t think so as he has risked everything including his career and possibly his safety in the pursuit of the man he thinks is responsible for killing not just one but two of hip hop’s greatest superstars. Even though Suge has yet to be convicted of the murder(s) the public perception especially within the hip hop community is that he did it. He is already a condemned man yet Russel Poole is intent on on this man being convicted risking everything in the process for what. Truth, justice, principle…? It seems alot to put on the line for one man, a man that even if convicted would only confirm the feelings that people are already expressing about him. But if we are to believe what Poole is telling us the LAPD doesn’t want Suge Knight convicted of this murder. Or more importantly doesn’t want to show the links between the LAPD and Knight in the time leading up to the murder. Why? What information are the LAPD hiding that would be so drastic if it ever came to light . Could they have planned on using Suge all along as the scapegoat once the shit hit the fan? There are several things that don’t add up if you look at the whole situation.The Motive for the killing: They say Suge had Tupac killed because he wanted to leave the label. Editor of Rollingstone magazine Randall Sullivan claimed in an interview with Davey D that you couldn’t just leave Death Row records without something happening to you as if it were some kind of cult. But Dr. Dre left and so did rapper Sam Sneed while Suge was still in charge and to my knowledge they are both still alive and breathing. So why was it that Tupac was killed and they weren’t?Dr. Dre has gone on to make millions without Suge yet Knight has never made any attempts at extorting him or trying to have him killed as far as I know.It is also claimed that Suge owed Tupac millions and that if he had him killed then he wouldn’t have to pay him plus Death Row had alot of Tupac material that they could make money off without Tupac there. If true then that plan has severely backfired.The media portrayal of Knight compared to Puffy: Now I’m not sure if you are aware of this but Suge Knight is not the only CEO not to pay his artists properly. For years it has been common knowledge within the hip hop world that Sean Combs aka P Diddy has been what some describe as a “paperwork gangster”. There are numerous artists that were neglected (Craig Mack) signed to slave deals (the LOX) and producers that were not paid properly for their contributions to the Notorious B.I.G’s debut album “Ready to die”. Yet even though he mistreated his artists like Suge did the portrayal of Puffy is that he is a businessman as supposed to Suge who is seen as nothing more then a glorified street thug.The Blood and Crip links and Orlando Anderson: Detective Russell Poole claims that the beating of crip member Orlando Anderson in the Vegas casino was to serve as the motive for the killing of Tupac Shakur. In a documentary made by Brtish filmmaker Nick Broomfield Shakur’s bodyguard also admits he was told to say that Anderson was attacked because he had robbed a Death Row member of their medallion prior to the incident although he knew nothing about it.They also made a point of accusing Puffy of hiring Crip members to work as security for Bad Boy claims that Sean Combs has flatly denied. In some reports they even went so far as to say that it was the Notorious B.I.G. himself that had supplied the weapon involved in the murder of Tupac (as if a crip member couldn’t somehow get a hold of a gun if he wanted to).Suge Knight often dressed in all red and it was known that he grew up in a blood neighbourhood in Compton. It is also known that he hired blood gang members to work for Death Row so i can see the connection there but Biggie’s camp have little to no connection with gang affiliation especially a LA based gang that had at that time had no base in New York at all.The East Coast VS West Coast beef: It was actually the media in my opinion that created this war between rappers from rival coasts. And if not created then they certainly perpetuated it every chance they got. Tupac believed that Biggie had set him up in the infamous Quad recording studio shooting of 1994. From the moment Tupac declared beef with Biggie the media proceeded to hype it up MTV being the main culprit and it became this whole East versus West thing when in fact it was two rappers that had a problem not a whole coast.That night in Vegas: They are so many things that don’t add up about this night yet are rarely explored. The police claim they had little to no co-operation from witness’ which was one of the reasons they hadn’t had progress with the case. But the one key witness they did have, rapper Kadafi (real name Yafeu Fula half brother to Shakur), who was riding in the car behind Shakur when the shooting took place was murdered six weeks after police failed to bring him in for questioning. Afterwards police said that “Our last good hope was killed in New Jersey. He [Fula] was our number one witness.” In the movies you always see the cop dragging the witness into an interrogation room untill they get the truth about what happened the reality is often very different. Didn’t really seem like they cared if he did or didn’t give evidence hardly the signs of a thorough investigation.There is really so much to debate and discuss about this night I will have to leave it for another blog.
I think the LAPD deliberately placed officers among the Death Row organization to destroy it from the inside. Police officers were told on one hand that they could not have any policemen working for Death Row because it was a criminal organization yet they clearly did have certain people within the camp so you mean to tell me they knew nothing of their activity off duty?In order for any of this to make any sense at all we have to look at what we know for definite and what is just merely speculation. It is speculation that Suge had Tupac killed for money reasons. Either to make more money or to stop from losing it. What we do kow is that Suge Knight has sinced filled for bankrupcy and is even trying lame attempts at suing Kanye West for an incident that happened at his party. He hasn’t made any money from Tupac’s death if anything he has lost money! And surely if he killed Tupac for this reason alone then why hasn’t he or at least someone been arrested for the shooting. What motive could the police possibly have in covering the whole thing up if it was Suge that did it? Why would they protect him and if they did what does he know that is so vital to this case? Are they keeping him out of jail for this particular thing because of stuff he knows about the LAPD?
For me if Suge did do it then he was definitely not alone. There is no way this particular man could have had so much power that he could have a famous celebrity killed on a Las Vegas strip in front of so many people and no one knows what happened. He would had to have control or at least have supreme influence among major police forces, the F.B.I, the supreme courts and the media. The same media that painted him as the villain from day one. Like alot of things in this situation it doesn’t make sense.
So as I said at the beginning of the piece I just wanted to make a little blog about this issue but as I have been writing this and reading various bits of information here and there decided a small blog would come no where near covering an incident of this magnitude. So stay tuned for more I plan to go real deep on this one.

A NEW SONG

(VERSE 1)
You see me sitting in the school just waiting for class to end,
The teachers saying a lot of fancy things that she knows i can't comprehend.
All my teachers are talking to me saying Shady it's take and give,
I say just leave me alone its my life to live.
Its not fair what is happening to me I think I'm close to the end,
There's good people, bad ones to, pride just makes them blend.
Man I'm loco, through, finished, I think i am finally done,
There is nothing left for me to do but pack my bags and run.
They say I'm lazy, My minds going hazy maybe there all right,
I'm going crazy, Time for phase 3 someone grab a mic.

(CHORUS 1)
Man I'm trying and learning, stirring while burning, there is nothing to do.
They are concerning that i ain't earning the right things to get me through(2x)

(VERSE 2)
Growing up it didn't matter what class you took,
What mattered was how you acted and how you looked.
If you were a little big or small don't dream to be liked,
The world is cruel so don't stress and grab a mic.
Let it out cuz soon you will see,
That some people, aren't as nice as you and me.
They act nice but they can get you down
they aim to make you mad they strive to make you frown.
Its sad kids who don't get to have fun, just cuz they a little strange,
To feel normal then someones telling you,"BOY YOU GOTTA CHANGE."
Everybody should get a chance to live and a chance to play,
Doesn't matter how they live, don't let them pass away.

(CHORUS 1)
(CHORUS 2)
My heads burning I'm trying to learn and nothings getting through.
People concerning that i ain't turning around my life is a zoo.

Going Crazy, Mind is hazy.............
I am crazy So crazy EVERYONE GRAB A MIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU GET A CHANCE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK SO I CAN EITHER KEEP TRYING TO WRITE LIKE THIS OR CHANGE MY STYLE THANK YOU.

Guess who's back

Guess who's back baby. Eminem is out again and still going strong. There was buzz to when he would release more albums. As a little treat he came out with a little freestyle called I AM HAVING A RELAPSE and it was freaking awesome. Then a little while later he came out with a great song. CRACK A BOTTLE broke a record going from #70 to #1 in a weekend. It was a very creative song. It was him Dr Dre and 50 cent, him writing the whole song of course. Now he has a new song. It is called We Made You. It wasn't meant for talent. It was comedy, he made fun of a lot of people. Ellen, Romo, Jessica Simpson, Amy Winehouse, Star Trek, Bret Michaels, Usher, Guitar Hero, Kim Kardashian, Elvis again, Gambling, Electric Chair, Sara Pailen, Transformers, Lindsy Lohan, Lesbians, Britney Spears, Jonny Cash, Jessoca Alba. It was hilarious, there is deffinatly going to be some tension to this song. Also Mr. Mathers let slip that he is dropping 2 albums this year. Relapse 1 and Relapse 2, and for all those Eminem fans, there are rumurs to a sequal to stan. but nothing has confirmed this. he is the man, tell me if these lyrics mean nothing to you


These ideas are nightmares to white parents Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
Like whatever they say has no bearing, it's so scary in a house that allows no swearing
To see him walking around with his headphones blaring
Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
He's a problem child And what bothers him all comes out, when he talks about
His stupid dad walkin' out Cause he just hates him so bad that he blocks him out
If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out
His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back
Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap He sags his pants, do-rags and a stocking cap
His step-father hit him, so he socked him back, and broke his nose His house is a broken home, there's no control, he just let's his emotions go...
Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me now, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Entertainment is changin', intertwinin' with gangsta's
In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum Holy or unholy, only have one homie
Only this gun, lonely cause don't anyone know me Yet everybody just feels like they can relate,
I guess words are a little helper they can be great Or they can degrade,
or even worse they can teach hate It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
Now tell me how did this metamorphosis happen From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass But then these critics crucify you,
journalists try to burn you Fans turn on you, attorneys all want a turn at you
To get they hands on every dime you have,
they want you to lose your mind every time you mad
So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon
Any dispute won't hesitate to produce handguns
That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me,
strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly But all they kids be listenin' to me religiously,
so i'm signin' cd's while police fingerprint me They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me If i'm such a freakin menace, this stuff doesn't make sense Pete
It's all political, if my music is literal, and i'm a criminal how the heck can I raise a little girl I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to, you're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you...
Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me now, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
They say music can alter moods and talk to you Well can it load a gun up for you ,
and cock it too Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get sued
See what these kids do is hear about us totin' pistols
And they want to get one cause they think the shit's cool Not knowin' we really just protectin' ourselves, we entertainers
Of course the shit's affectin' our sales, you ignoramus
But music is reflection of self, we just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail It's messed up ain't it
How we can come from practically nothing to being able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted
That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing Except for a dream, and a little rap magazine Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives
Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe We're nothin' to you but we're the stupid star in they eyes
That's why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it
Cause we consider these minutes golden And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can...

now tell me do those words mean nothint to you. that is one of the greatest rap songs ever written. he is a genious and we will live forever. eminem is the man and he is back and better than ever

A man named Dantes

I am currently reading a new book and it is freaking awesome. It is one of the greatest books ever written. It was written by Alexander Dumas, the same author of The Three Musketeers. The book is titled The Count of Monte Cristo. Not that it matters but it has about 1462 pages in it. That is at least 117 chapters. It is beautifully written. It is about a jealous person who was in love with a girl. This girl was on the verge on marriage and that made him uneasy. So he framed the groom she was to wed. The poor groom was just about to be named captain of a ship. The poor groom was named Edmund Dantes. He then was sent to a high security prison, being wrongly convicted for treason against his country. But they couldn't keep this man down. He, after many years of imprisonment, eventually escaped. Battling pirates, thieves and his own thirst for revenge. He comes to realize that the man who betrayed him is no betrothed to his love Mercedes and they have a kid together. And the best part of it all is that no one knew that this man is Dantes. His new life was under a new name, a new identity. To everyone in the country, Edmund Dantes was dead and gone. He was ruthless to anyone who double crossed him. He showed little mercy to anyone who was involved with the framing. He lived his life hurting and aching. He fealt like his heart broken into a million pieces and burned by Fernand, the man who betrayed him. After all this time he was no longer Edmund Dantes. He was something much more fearless and powerfull. He is and forever be known as the Count of Monte Cristo

Twilight v. Harry Potter

That freaking book made me want to kill myself. It was retarded; Stephanie Meyer should not be allowed to write another book if she is going to write them like that. She took a good concept and completely ruined it. And every time somebody compares it to Harry Potter, I look to grab a gun. Mrs. Meyers will never never never compare to the brilliance of author J.K. Rowling. When she wrote the Harry Potter series, she had no idea she would be writing the highest selling book of all time. And Potter's villain is way tougher and cooler. If I had to choose I would rather face James then Lord Voldemort. Twilight was good for her opening book but shouldn't of recieved so many fans. Twilight was okay, but then New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn her as stupid as could get. Joane Kathline Rowling was a young woman who had just divorced her husband. She was a mother of 1 Jessica Rowling. She was at a cafe one night after she had got her daughter to fall asleep, she started to write on napkins. And thus Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was made. She went from welfare to being the richest woman in England. She has won a lot of awards including Nestlé Smarties

The greatest rapper of all time


There can only be one greatest rapper of all time and really there is only one. And it isn't Lil Wayne, and it definitely is not The Game. And to your surprise, it is not even PAC or Biggie. He goes by the name Marshall Mathers III. He was a a poor white boy who grew up in the streets of Detroit. He lived on 8mile road,which he made notorious. It was rough, tough, and very dangerous. But Marshall Mathers resisted the drug life and the killing, he came out mostly clean. He worked like a good man, he had good friends. Among his friends was Big Proof, who would grow up to be a big influence on Mathers. Mr. Mathers had bought some recording time in the studio thanks to some connections from some friends. And he was amazing. He took a beat and a napkin and just sat down. And now and then he would listen to the beat and write words that came to mind. And he made brilliant songs with this talent of his. His songs were meaningful tear jerking and sometimes funny. He was also cool because he had a total of 3alter egos. Marshall Mathers was number 1, his songs told about his life. Slim Shady was number 2 and he was just a jokester, bringing songs like The Real Slim Shady and Guess Who's Back. And the 3rd name emerged later. He also the lead singer of D12. Stands for the Dirty Dozen or Detroit's best 12. And one of the group members is Big Proof, his childhood friend. They stayed together for their whole life, until Proof was shot in a bar in Detroit, RIP BIG PROOF. He was won countless awards, not to mention the hearts of rap lovers everywhere. He is however not so liked by the government. He is a big fan of controversy and in most of his songs, he slams the president. He has gotten into trouble with them many times. Of all this he still has a life to raise his young daughter Hailey Jade Mathers. He loves her very much, tattooing her face on his arm and writing a song on his album called, "Hailey's Song." All of this life in Detroit and this fame and money has glued together his final alter ego, the master of rap and the greatest rapper of all time, Slim Shady + Marshall Mathers= EMINEM

americas best dance crew


Now first of all let me say i love the show, but after the first season it should of just ended. the first season was the best and it had the best dance crew ever on the show. no one is going to compare with the jabbawockiez. they are just too awesome. i personally thought kabba modern was the best but thats just me. status quo should of never made it the the finale all they did was flip. but jabbawockiez won it and that is all that matters. now they made season 2 and it went by fast. i was waiting for it to start not knowing they already eliminated 3 crews. it was a dumb season it came down to fanny pack super crew and so real crew. it should of came down to fanny pack and super crew. but hey i am not complaining i wanted super crew to win. then came season 3 all in the course of i think 2 years.this season was pretty cool.but the outcome annoyed me. i wanted beat freaks to become the first girl crew to win it. they should of won it, but they lost to a great crew. quest crew was awesome they deserved it cant wait for season 4. but none will compare to the jabbawockies America's true best dance crew

Stevenson v. Fordson




Fordson High School is a very large place. It has really fun and funny teachers. it also has a good athletic system. the wrestling program has won 7 district championships, and league championships in a row. You can find great friends there. People are happy to help you over there, act like a friend and you will be very popular. And i know you would think,"well if the school is SO big how do you get to your classes in just 4 min." that is another thing i like. all the hall ways are connected in some way. You can go down one way in A Hall and make it to D Hall and make it to F Fall from there. But
Fordson isn't 100% great. The bad thing about Fordson is that the kids are nice they are just proud. so if you insult them, a fight will brew instantly. If you look at someone the wrong way, or look at their girl in a weird way your in a fight. And it has a large population. So it makes the hall ways a little crowded.

Stevenson Highh School is a nice school. I have been going to it for about a couple of week and it seems cool. the kids all seem nice and i dont think there will be any fighting in this school. they all seem to smart to fight but we will see i dont know them that will. i like the fact that they
have 6 min in between class instead of 4 like fordson. and someone has got to explain to me why the heck it ends and 2:19 its just so weird why not just 2:20 or 2:15. i think im going to have a lot of fun in this school.

music

man music has really gone down the toilet. we used to idolize legends like Michael Jackson and the Beatles now the role models are crap like Lil Wayne. and dont get me wrong i love rap but not today. i am a fan of people like eminem 2pac and biggie. they rapped about things that mattered. life, polotics. and drugs. now you got garbage like Wayne, Fat Joe, and Rick Ross talking about money and girls. they think they are hard. if anything they lived a hard life for about a couple of years then some stupid record company was dumb enough to sign them.i think the worst of them has to be dj khaled. the guy is a joke, he aint hood and he will never be hood. he works with the stupidest people and he is in the videos acting like an idiot. he is just there shouting "we the best" and "D.J. KHALED WE RUN THIS" i miss the old days when kids walked around singing dust in the wind and heat of the moment. now they are singing filth like A Milli. there used to be greatness. there was the Beatles, Michael Jackson, and . its garbage, these days i put on the radio and its all crap. except for 100.3 its all crap. and the worst part of it is that when the rappers are done ruining rap they go to rock. kanye west and lil wayne are now rocking it out. well not really they suck and dont think im hating cuz i aint i am just tell the truth. the greatest mystery in the world will always be why you buy waynes albums. in my old school i knew 16 fans of lil wanye. they bought his new album they said he sucked they stoped liking him. i showed him a song from eminem they still is a eminem lover its simple old school the only school. eminem pac biggie beatles kansas asia jackson 5 temptations the ojays the eagles guns aind roses kiss run dmc kid rock rascall flats brad paisley keith urban toby keith sheroll crow jimmy buffet neil diamond and kenny rogers

Evil Cartoons

Everyone who reads this knows what I'm talking about. Cartoons were nice when we were young but now they are just evil. I was watching Johnny Bravo with my cousin and it is not suitable for kids. On the episode there was a doll that was a live. This doll was torturing Johnny with guns and weapons. The doll threatened him and said this to her owner while Johnny was behind her,"Ill miss you, but i wont miss you Johnny I have really good aim." Also didn't anyone find it a little odd that this guy is a sex addict. And he is an Elvis impersonator, which makes it a little more creepier. Then there is other shows like The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Isn't it wrong for two small kids to be followed around by the Grim Reaper. He is constantly trying to kill these kids. This is a cartoon for kids and it is about death. Don't even get me started on the Wiggles. They just look weird and crazy. They look like they were old men who were bored, so they just made a show when they were drunk.I will never understand how kids like them. Just look at them, they give me night mares. Also the Doodlebobs, they are just plain weird. Why do they dress up dude, it makes them a little creapier than they already are. Oh man and there is also peppy le pu. This guy has a serious problem. He stalks that poor cat. She has to constanly hide for him. Come to think of it i cant remember a nice cartoon. Except for the Power Puff Girls, but that was akward also. The thing is that you will never notice these things when you small. When kids were young they love this kind of violence. But as you get older you realise the evil in them. Except for things like South Park and Family Guy, cartoons are made for kids. They should be suitable for kids.

The Red Wings


The Detroit Red Wings have a history of greatness. they are the greatest American team in the nhl. the red wings have won about 11 stanley cups. they have worked under geniuses such as Mike Babcock Scotty Bowman and Jacques Demers. Warriors have been coming out of that locker room since the Red Wings first took off, training pure talent like Steve Yzerman, Shanahan, Federov, Zetteberge and Datsyuk. their defence has always been good holding Uwe Krupp and and Chris Chelios. They barely let in goals thanks to Manny Legacy, Chris "The wizard of OZ" Osgood Dominic Hasek and coaching a new star Ty Conklin. they have beautiful shots and thier passing is precise and nearly perfect. another addition to the red wings are their strength and it isnt always a good thing. the red wings love to fight. they seem to enjoy themselves when they are throwing off their gloves. they get their gear off in a heartbeat and just tear up the other team in a fight. and when one fights they all fight. they have been known to start brawls with evan the golie getting involved.when ever the red wings are faced with a challange they always over come. this previous year they were on their way to the stanley cup. their were many key games that if lost would of cost them the cup. but they came together and if neccesary came from behing and won the game. another thing about thered wings is that the players dont play for the money. they play for the honor of being called a red wing. Henrik Zetteberg recently signed another 12 year deal for 73 million. in the sports industry i dont think that is conicidered a lot but they dont care they dont sign for the 73 million they sign for the 12 years. being a red wings show a lot of skill and honor to wear that logo is amazing. since the begining of the nhl the red wings were a part of the original 8 and they tore it up. their name is and always has been dipped in gold and on top they are the greatest.
