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."

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.

From a recently aired skit, it starts with Dave Chappelle in a club, and the DJ says here is the latest Tupac song, RIP. As the song goes on, the lyrics get more and more relevant to what is happening in the acutal club. Posted 07-11-06 Source: Comedy Central | |||
In the latest issue of Stuff Magazine on page 57 of Issue 77 with Tila Tequila on the cover, there is an article called Interviews with Dead Celebrities: Tupac Resurrected. It says its a world-renowned medium Victoria Bullis, and she summons the slain rapper's spirit to find out what's going down in the afterlife. It appears more to me like a joke than anything, but hardcore Pac fans may want it for their collections. Posted 03-03-06 Source: stuffmagazine.com | |||
Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas, Nevada will immortalize rapper Tupac Shakur on Apr. 5 as part of its new "On Stage" attraction. A wax figure capturing the famous image of a shirtless Shakur wearing a bandana and showing his tattoos joins superstars such as James Brown , Mick Jagger , Elton John, Prince and others as life-like wax statues. Adrian Jones, general manager of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, said the decision to immortalize Skakur came from public demand.  "We have received more requests from the public to immortalize Tupac than any other rap star," Jones said. "It is fitting that he will be the central figure in our new 'On Stage' attraction, which will offer the public a new high-tech system for enjoying the music of all the stars in the attraction. We will have more information about the attraction at a later date." Shakur was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting on Las Vegas' famed "Strip" on Sept. 7, 1996. Shakur later died from his wounds. His slaying remains unsolved. For "On Stage" attraction times, visit http://www.mtvegas.com. Posted 02-02-06 Source: allhiphop.com | |||

Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts Peace Garden Grand Opens June 11, 2005 After many years of prayer and patience, the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF) is hosting the Grand Opening of its Visitor Center and Peace Garden on June 11, 2005. This is the first phase of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA), in Stone Mountain, Georgia, that will eventually include a performing arts theater, museum, art gallery, community meeting space and classrooms. The Visitor Center will consist of a display gallery, rehearsal space for the annual Summer Arts Camp students, gift shop and TASF’s offices. The general public will be able to visit and view various exhibits (including personal items of Tupac and fan art work, among other pieces), as well as buy Tupac and TASF merchandise.The Peace Garden will be a beautifully landscaped 6-acre site designed as a place of reflection in honor of those who are no longer with us. A bronze statue of Tupac will ultimately stand in the center of the Garden, inside a fountain in the shape of the gothic cross universally associated with 2Pac. The Garden will also consist of a donor platform, wooden pavilions and a variety of other fountains spread throughout. Ms. Afeni Shakur, mother of rap’s greatest icon, founded the TASF in November 1997 to carry on the legacy of Tupac’s creative talents. The Foundation aims to provide top quality arts training to our youth from all backgrounds, primarily through its annual Summer Arts Camp. Students between ages 12–18 participate in intense training for 2–4 weeks under the direction of theatrical teachers and performers. TASCA has been designed as a way of maintaining that positive environment that allows students to gain an understanding of peer leadership, self-growth and discipline year-round. The Grand Opening ceremony, itself, will begin at 11:30 AM and will be held in the Center’s main parking lot at 5616 Memorial Drive. This momentous occasion will consist of welcoming remarks from a number of prominent community leaders, including special guest speaker Ms. Shakur. There will also be a special performance of Family Tree by “Pac’s Kids,” the students of the Summer Arts Camp, along with Celina Nixon, an original camp student and current coordinator of the camp. This will be followed by a the cutting of the ribbon at the Peace Garden by Ms. Shakur and a dedication of the Garden that will involve children planting a ceremonial tree. Guests will then be invited to explore the Visitor Center and Peace Garden and reflect amongst themselves. Posted 06-16-05 Source: tasf.com | |||

Rumor #1 Well, I know it is wishful thinking, as many people have been to this site: http://67.18.222.146/cnn.htm and has brought many people to believe Tupac is actually alive! Well to smash the rumor, it is just that; a rumor! A few dead giveaways are it was posted as an April Fools joke, the page address is not an official cnn page anyways, but just a file named cnn.htm. If you scroll to the bottom of the page and read the headings by the picture of the pope, you will find a heading that says "You just got April Fooled" and "Tupac's dead. Get over it". This was obviously made by someone who doesn't like Tupac, but wanted to create a April Fools prank, and the page also includes a counter on the bottom too. Rumor #2 A video has also been circulating around the internet saying that Tupac is alive and they have actual footage of Tupac. Well all I have to say is it's a look alike of Tupac, and does actually look a lot like Tupac with the same shaped head, and also mocking his laugh and tipping his head back smiling as he would do. Its nothing but another attempt to start more hope in fans that he is alive. I do not have the video on the website, but if you search Google.com I am sure you will be able to locate it on various message boards. Posted 04-27-05 | |||
NEW YORK — Afeni Shakur, mother of slain icon Tupac Shakur, has spent the last several years keeping her son's name alive. And although the trove of unreleased music from the rapper seems to be reaching its end — Afeni said the
last album of unreleased material will come out next year — she's renovating the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation's Peace Memorial Garden and Visitors Center in Stone Mountain, Georgia, in the hope of establishing a more lasting memorial. Though Afeni has been remembering her son with annual concerts around his June 16 birthday, she and her partners in the foundation felt that more could be done. "When Tupac died, the first year and afterward, we thought the way to celebrate him was to have concerts and events every June in Georgia," Ms. Shakur explained. "And after we spent so much money and only affected the people right there, we decided we'd build a foundation and work with young people on an ongoing basis." Each summer, the foundation holds a performing-arts camp for children suffering from troubled home lives. The camp, which is set on nine recently renovated acres of countryside in Stone Mountain, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta where Afeni resides), will be formally reopened on June 10. Afeni, a former Black Panther and a recovered drug addict, referenced her own tumultuous past when describing the foundation's main goal. "When Tupac was 13 and I was homeless," she said, "Tupac was in the 127th Street Ensemble [theater group] right here in New York. Those people, I believe, saved his life. So what we try to do is be that for the next generation of young people." Next year, Afeni said she intends to place a life-size sculpture of Tupac at the garden's entrance. Meanwhile, a video with a stark message has been released for "Ghetto Gospel," the recent single from Tupac's posthumous LP Loyal to the Game (see "Eminem 'Went Crazy' With Tupac's A Cappellas For Loyal To The Game"). The clip, directed by Nzingha Stewart, is about a young man who dies, while his mother mourns the loss and recognizes that the destructive pattern continues. The video reflects Afeni's own concerns. "This year, Tupac would've been 34 years old," she said. "He died when he'd just made 25. I perceive a crisis in young people and I want to share my concern. The most important thing for young people is to stay alive." Afeni is also working on an as-of-yet-untitled film detailing Tupac's early life, as well as a traveling Broadway play. Author Quentin Skinner has also written a biography of the rapper, which will be published later this year. "[Loyal to the Game] will have no more singles," Afeni said. "We'll do a spoken-word album this year, and next year we'll do the final unreleased song album for Tupac. "And then we're going to beg you all to come and see us at the [Peace Memorial Garden and Visiting] Center." — Hillary Crosley, with reporting by Rahman Dukes Posted 04-19-05 Source: mtv.com | |||
GREEN DAY frontman BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG turned to an unusual source of  inspiration when mapping out his band's plan for world domination - rapper TUPAC SHAKUR.The AMERICAN IDIOT singer admired tragic Shakur - who hailed from Green Day's California hometown - because he was never constrained by rules or expectations. As a result, Green Day set out to break all the rules of rock 'n' roll - in the same way Shakur did in the hip-hop industry. Armstrong says, "Tupac Shakur grew up in Oakland, too. Whatever you think of him, you don't feel he was contained by rules. "With rock, you feel there are codes of conduct and codes of cool but with Tupac he just came right out with it. "I admire that. Music needs that. And that's what I wanted for Green Day." Posted 04-07-05Source: contactmusic.com | |||
