After many years of support I am shutting down the site due to a short host that crashed & offers no insight after months of down time. I also have outgrown the time/interest & money needed to keep going on. Thanks for the support after all these years.

Tupac Shakur Musical, 'Holler If Ya Hear Me,' Set To Begin Casting & Tupacs Mom ECSTATIC

Good news for Tupac Shakur fans! The late hip-hop icon's music will be featured in a new Broadway musical titled, "Holler If Ya Hear Me."

According to Playbill, the Kenny Leon directed musical will begin casting in New York City on March 10 and are seeking African American Male and Female rappers between the ages of 18 - 35, in addition to one "Caucasian actor" between the ages 20 - 25 with a "strong facility for rap and terrific guitar skills."

While Leon previously revealed to The Huffington Post that he has held small workshops with Shakur's mother, Afeni, he also mentioned during an interview with PBS that he has always wanted to direct a production inspired by the rapper's illustrious discography.

"The idea was always to make a musical inspired by his music and not to do an autobiographical approach to his life or anything like that," he said. "And because I always thought that Tupac was a prophet and I thought if everybody could hear his words and hear his stories, they would see what I see. So we are going to probably do a big workshop in New York this summer and I'm going to try to bring it to Broadway in the next Broadway season."

"So a year from now hopefully you'll be seeing this world-changing musical on the Broadway stage. I couldn't be more excited," he continued. "Todd [Kriedler] is writing the book, and with the lyrics by Tupac, it's going to be very exciting, pretty much would sort of change the face of musical theater as we know it on Broadway, so I am looking forward to that."

Although a premiere date is yet to be determined, workshops for selected actors of "Holler If Ya Hear Me" will run from April 23 until May 11.

Retired LAPD detective claims police know who killed The Notorious B.I.G. & Tupac

On the 15th anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.'s death, retired detective Greg Kading sat down with Complex and discussed why many of the theories surrounding the slaying are bogus, how police mishandled the case and why both Voletta Wallace and Afeni Shakur are owed apologies.

A 25-year law enforcement veteran, Kading was assigned to the Christopher Wallace murder case in 2006, about a year after Wallace's mother Voletta filed her first wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles. Kading eventually grew so frustrated with his department's handling of the case that he quit the police force, taking with him copies of the evidence he'd compiled during his investigation — evidence he shares in his book, Murder Rap: The Untold Story of the Biggie Smalls & Tupac Shakur Murder Investigations.

Kading contests that a man named Wardell "Poochie" Fouse was paid by former Death Row CEO Suge Knight to kill Biggie.

"Confidential sources from the Death Row entourage, the Mob Pirus, and [Suge's girlfriend, identified in Kading's book by the alias "Theresa Swann"], said Poochie had done shootings for Suge in the past," Kading tells Complex.

"[Suge's girlfriend] and Poochie agreed to terms. He received two payments, one for $9000 and one for $4000. Poochie lay in wait outside the Petersen Automotive Museum. As soon as he became aware of where Biggie was sitting in his car, he drove up and he shot him."

Kading says that although the L.A.P.D. knew who had committed the murder, they made a conscious decision to shelve the case after Ms. Wallace's lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed and the city no longer stood to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Once that threat dissipated, the L.A.P.D. said, 'You know what? We've spent enough time and money. We know who killed them. The D.A.'s not going to file charges. So everyone go back to work.' And the case ended up getting shelved," he says. "They just shelved the whole case after the Wallace camp retracted their lawsuits."

Kading also contends that although case has been shelved, department officials will continue saying the investigation is still open just to pacify the public.

"That's what a police department is always going to say — not just the L.A.P.D., any police department, about any unsolved murder case. They're always going to say, 'Yes, it's an open investigation. It's an active investigation,' but it's really just a way to appease those types of inquiries."

In the end, Kading says that neither Biggie's nor Tupac's murder cases will ever officially be solved and that no one will ever be prosecuted.

"Both law enforcement agencies — the Las Vegas Police Department and the L.A.P.D. — have drawn the conclusions that Tupac was killed by Orlando Anderson and Biggie Smalls was killed by Wardell 'Poochie' Fouse. Those are the facts within law enforcement. They're considered solved internally, but the public's definition of solved is different. They haven't gone through the judicial process and nobody has been prosecuted.

"Both shooters are dead. Orlando Anderson was killed outside a Compton record shop in May 1998. Poochie died in July 2003 as a result of multiple gunshot wounds," he continued. "That's all the justice that these cases will see."

While Kading's is certainly not the first book about the Biggie and Tupac murders to be released, his does have a unique perspective considering that he was actually assigned to the Biggie case and has firsthand, self-gathered knowledge of both investigations. He says he's releasing his book not in an attempt to profit from the continued interest in the cases, but out of a sense of responsibility and obligation.

"I hated the idea that the public had been so deceived, in regards to both of these murder investigations. I hated the idea that this information would always be suppressed because of law enforcement," he says.

"I've got an obligation to educate the public as to what really happened. And to let the families know what the investigation entailed, so that they could at least have that peace of knowing everything that law enforcement knows about the cases.

"These were very solvable cases. … Everybody ultimately owes some sincere apologies, at least, to both Voletta Wallace and Afeni Shakur."

Checkout some user submitted theories from:  atl.ali@jippii.fi

There wasn't a lot text about tupacs possible location...
And you guys didn't mention those many theories that would put him to Cuba. In eminems Fubba U Cubba Cubba he say in the end that "Hiphop haven't been same since Tupac moved Cuba"
Tupac has also spotted from Cuban rappers music video.
There haven't also have any mention in whole text that part from Tupac and 50 cent - Realest Killaz. There are a lot of things..
"There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future"
-Tupac
Did tupac possibly trying to tell about he's going to "die", that made it pretty hard to smile...

"Rather be buried than be worried"
-Tupac
There it comes again he's talking about being buried, why he creamted? There he also possibly saing that he's getting engouh of all that murder attemps and jail and prison stuff.

"Till makaveli returns it's all eyes on me"
-50 cent
So does this mean, 1. Makaveli will return... 2. 50 cent going to be on spotlight while makaveli hasn't return, thats pretty much how it is right now.

And makaveli will return like Machiavelli, age 43. Tupac is in that age at 2014...

About that autopsy pic, he's missing tattoo in neck...

There's some stuff to add on those theories. I myself believe that he's alive, and faked hes dead, because taking name Makaveli, would be meaningless otherwise.
