[edit] Spam?

Alleyezonme.com seems to be linked from every 2pac related page going, is this "right"?


[edit] Corrections

Herbie Hancock is credited on the main song "Words of Wisdom" - one supposes he therefor played at least a part in the production.

Importantly: Tupac doesn't rap about "police brutality". I don't think he ever did. He doesn't rap that police brutality is bad. He raps that police are bad, period. He is politically against the police, not emotionally against violence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.254.81.209 (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] All the lyics should be removed.

It is spam from the website.

This album is amazing, everyone should buy it! - That's at least, people who like Hip-Hop.

There are no links to lyrics License2Kill 06:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


I should think people who like Hip Hop would hate this. Tupac never really mentions hip hop. Hip hop is a label, and Tupac was against that. Rap is about all you can categorize Tupac as, by mainstream definitions. there is a notable absence of the word "hiphop" in Tupacs recordings. And hiphop is really a commercial label. reality doesn't require anything more than "rap". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.254.81.209 (talk) 17:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Amaru Entertainment

It is an Amaru Entertainment album, look at the back cover. License2Kill 00:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Just for the record (no pun intended) looking at the back of CD covers isn't a reliable way to discern an albums label. They often put a subsidiary's logo and Tupac is inevitably on a major. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.254.81.209 (talk) 08:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

I changed the name from 2Pac to Tupac Shakur because not all of Tupac's albums are released under the name 2Pac and it may be confusing to some License2Kill 01:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

You sure? Because the title 2Pacalypse Now gives an impression that he'd rather 2Pac over Tupac.

His real name is Tupac Shakur, "2Pac" is his stage name. License2Kill 04:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
