Tupac alive?
 
Do you think Tupac Shakur is alive? If so, please be sure to include your reason and theory.

iulianh 01-18-2008 08:41 PM

He is dead , why do you think he is alive ? How can someone can stay for this long hidden and not showing himself out ? Where do you think he is hiding , in Tibet ? He is dead ! Leave him to rest in peace !

:P

Honestly I think people need to move on from his death. He is dead. So what if the tattoo was on a different arm have you ever heard of digital image? And spray on tattoo's? Also I am really tired of people saying he is still alive, Just because he had hidden music means nothing. I could go record and album and wait until I died and have the cops, family members find the hidden stuff very easy to pull off. And "iulianh" is right someone would SEE him and come out and tell the world, no one can hide like that. People are going to know and tell people it's how human life is.

Tupac is DEAD. I vote is he alive? NO

Roxie 01-18-2008 08:55 PM

TUPAC LIVES!!!






No. I think he's dead, but I'll be honest and say I held out hope for quite a bit. :D

Shazz 01-18-2008 08:59 PM

Elvis is living with tupac! :rolleyes:

Hes dead, people wish he was alive

Snake 01-18-2008 09:02 PM

For my input, I used to believe he was still alive. But not anymore. All the hints and secrets like the "Suge shot me" being whispered in the beginning of one of his songs, the songs being made after he died, the fact that he was rapping about his demise and the Makaveli theory and things on that line lead me to believe in his return. However, when the 7 Day Theory was proven wrong, I was greatly disappointed. He is dead. What I sometimes think about, is that he did fake his death, but sometime within the 7 years of his death, he actually did die, but I guess we'll never know.

Sadly, I think he's dead. I was really hyped up when the seventh year rolled around, and then nothing happened, causing me to lose most of the faith I had. But I still listen to the music that he made back then. I like just 2Pac's songs, but every song on that CD has someone else (who just straight out sucks) other then Pac on it, and it just kills the track.

Fine if Elvis and Tupac are alive, I own the universe :D And I can kick chuck norris butt....(Now we know that is NEVER going to happen)

Afterglow86 01-18-2008 10:30 PM

I just find it odd how they keep finding hidden tracks, or are they just constantly rehashing his previous work? Either way he is dead...or has a clone out there somewhere.

I saw him with Elvis last night here in Las Vegas LOL!:D

Oh the POLL points to reality! ;)

Now who's to say if I was right or wrong?
To live my life as an Outlaw all along

Remain strong in this planet full of player haters
They conversate but Death Row full of demonstrators

And in the end drinkin' Hennessy made all my enemies envy me
So cold when I flow eliminatin' easily

Fall to their knees, they plead for their right to breath
While beggin' me to keep the peace

What I can see closer to achieve
In times of danger don't freeze, time to be a G

Follow my lead I'll supply everything you need
An ounce of game and the trainin' to make a G

Remember me, as an outcast Outlaw
Another album out, that's what I'm about, more

Gettin' raw 'til the day I see my casket
Buried as a G while the whole world remembers me

Until the end of time

bigcurt 01-19-2008 02:44 AM

I honestly used to believe he was alive..not going to lie. However, if he was still alive he would have done the whole "7 years thing" aka "Makaveli" and came back in 2003 or so...so I definitely stopped believing.

FRANKTHETANK 2 01-19-2008 02:44 AM

i think he is still alive somewhere where no one knows him. he thought he was gonna die so i bet ya he got scarred of death and went some where where he woudn't get killed. he was teh greatest rapper ever. and still is.

Shazz 01-19-2008 03:27 AM

I saw him filling up gas the other day yea totally :)

Tupac was the greatest and a well-known rapper worldwide. His music was so much great that people would still listen to it even though he passed away. Well, shot by a gun, to be exact.

Wayne Luke 01-19-2008 02:20 PM

Where is the "Don't Care" option?

I never listened to his music unless it was in a movie or on the radio for some reason. Not my genre so I don't miss him.

If he is alive, then he obviously wanted to get away from everything and start over so more power to me. He could be my neighbor and I wouldn't really care.

Wayne's greedy, he gave more power to himself for tupac "starting over".

Does anyone really care if 6 pack of Coors is dead or Elvis for that matter?

I thought Vanilla Ice was the greatest! HAHAHA...

I really haven't heard a single song from Tupac buddy, :confused:
but when you have contact with reality AND if the news tells you that he's dead, IS BECAUSE HE IS DEAD! :cool:

I share a different opinion but that's the great thing about it as there's so many choices and artists to choose from. While I listen to some of what today has to offer I gravitate to the old school and underground. As for Tupac, I've listened to some of his mix-tapes (before the Digital Underground era that propelled him. My two favorites of Tupac are "I Get Around" and "If My Homie Calls".

Hahaa...Well, for the most part I agree. Like with anything else, there's 95% of so-so and only 5% of quality. It's unfortunate that the 95% gets most play.

Actually, didn't you hear about that guy who was reported dead and he wasn't at all? Came out on the news, he had no idea everyone thought he was dead till he read the paper, then he had to go through a load of things to get his identity and such back intact.

There is a ton of "officially" unreleased stuff by 2pac. While I do like the way they've mixed in newer artists with it I would much prefer to be able to buy the "unedited" stuff.

My favorite album by 2pac is "Strictly 4 my N.I.G.G.A.Z" and I still own the original CD that I picked up back in '93. If you own that album pop it into your stereo some time. You'll be surprised with how "quiet" it sounds as it was produced before the "loudness wars" were in full swing.

The man could be alive but I don't think that's possible unless his family was in on it. If he is alive I'm sure it's on a need-to-know basis so discussion on the subject is rather pointless. ;)

Pre-Digital Underground mix-tapes. Hmm...

I think tupac is a live also, can't give up hope, and maybe one day we will finally know.

There is no such thing as "great rap", "good rap" or even "mediocre rap". It's garbage, I say! :D

I love how the same people that grew up hearing "Rock music is evil/the devil" from their parents can't resist going on and on about how much Rap music sucks. ;)

Good job basing your opinion on the few songs you've heard on the radio. Most of you probably like a few "rap" songs and you aren't even aware of the fact that it's "rap".

I can agree on the fact that most modern (as in on the radio today) rap music is garbage though. ;)

Guest210212002 01-20-2008 12:48 AM

I hope you aren't referring to me. I spent 4 years in college with a roommate who listened to nothing but rap ALL FREAKING DAY. I've heard plenty of it. I think it's all awful, with the exception of one or two discs by artists who actually hired (gasp!) actual musicians to play on their albums.

I'm a 20 year student of music. I practice 4 hours a day, and have, just about every day, since I was 14 (I'm 31). I know all about generalizing genres as well - metal fans are just like rap fans in a sense. The rap/hip-hop/r&b/club/etc thing gets tossed around as black metal vs doom metal vs power metal, etc, etc. It's all just music. I can't stand rap. I also can't stand the Bee Gees, but at least they could read music before having the audacity to call themselves musicians.

Metal has some equally cheeseball stuff, but there are very few bands (actually, I can't think of one) who write entire albums comprised of nothing but odes to themselves, their crew, and how badass they are because they own a gun, drive a ferrari, or basically just hate.

I'll admit DssCrazy is right some people like that type of music. But RAP music is greatly frowned upon. I know the FCC goes crazy when a rap song comes out that is really strong and language.

"Sucks" is an opinion. I think it sucks, and I stand by it. You're entitled to yours as well.
