MUSIC: Tupac teams up with Eminem for comeback.

Eminem confirmed on New York's Hot 97 "The Angie Martinez Show" that he will be in the studio producing a new Tupac album in the coming months. Afeni Shakur, mother of the late Tupac Shakur, has given Eminem permission to use tracks from Tupac's seemingly never-ending supply of unreleased material.

Over the last few years, Eminem has broadened his focus and been producing his own tracks as well as tracks for other artists. To date, he has produced for 50 Cent, G-Unit, D-12, Jay Z, Nas, Royce Da 5'9", obie Trice, Xzibit, as well as the Tupac Resurrection album from 2003.

Tupac should have stayed dead.

Who's dead?

hardly to believe hes dead with releasing so much songs

his stuff wasn't that good when he was alive! surely the unreleased stuff is the fucking dreggs????? and as for eminem? hhhmmmmm, good job money keeps those credibiltiy fears at bay

what i always wonderd was, how the fuck did tupac record so much, did he record everything he said into a dictaphone or something..?

cos i can't belive he spent that much time in the studio laying phat rymes etc etc

Yeah actually Tupac had a long career before he made it big. He recorded well over 1000 tracks of just shit. I hate his music but I found it funny that unlike other singers like Elvis who recorded only his best songs, Tupac recorded anything we wrote. It was just how he was so he has 1000 or so stored up absolute shit tracks (I mean real shit that wouldn't sell to people who liked his stuff)

Yeah, I heard of this. I heard he had like 200 songs stock-piled.

Well, if you're coming from the standpoint of "Rap Sucks" or something equally nonsensical, then I guess I can see (but not understand) why you wouldn't like Tupac. However, if you like ANY rap music at all, then there's something wrong with you if you don't like him. Opinions vary, sure, but anyone should be able to acknowledge talent when they hear it, regardless of whether that type of music suits their fancy.

At a time when absolute garbage is in the Top 40s, like 50 cent, Chingy, And Lil Jon/Eastside Boyz, Tupac's stuff is a return to when rap was at its high point , i.e. the early to mid 90s. Even take away the music and READ his material and you have to acknowledge that he was a solid songwriter/poet.

There was a time when I hated almost all rap under the sun, because I felt that it was the main cause of black people being stereotyped, and it glorified a certain subculture that I despised. I used to tease my friend (a Tupac fan extremist) and say Tupac sucks this, Tupac sucks that, but in truth even I had to recognize that he had serious skill.

So, dislike him if you want, but don't dare say his music "sucks".

Zombie Tupac rules!!!

Tupac totally sold out after he died.

I'm getting the feeling Tupac isn't really dead. Maybe he watched Velvet Goldmine one too many times and decided it would be cool if he gave it a try.

Haha -- agreed !

ten bucks we find tupac in a couple years in an underground layer surrounded by fatt black "bitches" and sportin enough "bling" to build the twin towers.

i dunno where i was goin with this

Do you ever?

and who are you?

The first song:

"Hi. You have reached Tupac. I can't take your call right now. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you."

Hit 'em up!

umm ....... no.
