I used a translator to understand this it is just a review of the album and a history of tupac, this comes from a Portuguse Newspaper titled jornal publico:

It cannot leave to provoke a certain apprehension the publication, monday, of "Better Dayz", 10º album of the discografia of Tupac Shakur and sixth that it is edited since the day where rapper was transferred by four times, the 7 of September of 1996. Of ", of retraction of subjects registados in palco or sides B of singles is not about one "best. "Better Dayz" is a double COMPACT DISC whose alignment is composed for original bands - does not go somebody to doubt the productivity "post-mortem" of Tupac Shakur.

Yes, this is representative the strange history and at the same time of one of the names most singular of that one day rap was known as "gangsta".

George Pryce, tried publicist who worked of close with Tupac, compared it it Miles Davis, others of its customers. Both had a divided personality what, according to Pryce, it had origin in the fact of both to be of the Gémeos sign. Astrology to the part, Tupac in such a way was considered terrorist as one of the most promising poets of hip-hop, contradiction that never was decided.

Tupac Shakur will have read diverse times "the Prince" of Maquiavel, and assimilated the doctrine of that the morality does not have relevance in the politics, being manha and the fraud justifiable to be fulfilled objectivos as the maintenance of the power. Tupac in such a way was considered a machista B-Boy and a rufia of first as actor talentoso. The producer John Singleton considered it a "natural talent, with immense metódos and philosophies on the way as a paper must be represented". The letters of its subjects had become known for stirring up the assassínio of policies, in the most beautiful tradition of gangsta rap. Something much more sensational the one that its participation in the Poetry Circle of Santa Rosa, California, or the one that the fact of some of these texts to be today base of analysis in courses in the University of Berkeley. "All people is in war with any thing... I am in war with my proper heart ", I said, six months before dying, in a romantismo access that did not hide lucidity. "All the blacks that change the world die of violent form. They do not die normally ", confessed in interview to the magazine "Details"

gangsters and rappers. Tupac Shakur, or 2Pac for the friends, was born in 1971. The mother, Afeni Williams, were activista of the Black Panthers and still the youngster had not waked up of the frightening to enter in the adolescence and already he had been enrolled in a theater course. When the family if moved for California, Tupac hugged the drug traffic as activity, what she became viable an invitation to participate, as dancer, in the espectáculos of the Digital Underground. Its linking to the world of espectáculo took the one that, to the 20 years, had recorded its first scale models. They had been to stop to the offices of the Interscope publishing company, but the first success of Tupac was its participation as actor in the film "Juice", in 1991. Its album of estreia, "2Pacalypse Now" (1991), vendeu 500 a thousand copies. One of the bands, "Trapped", was presented in court as rastilho that it took a youngster of 19 years, Ron Howard, to assassinate a texano policy. It would not delay very until, in the height, the vice-president of U.S.A., Dan Quayle, declared that records as "2Pacalypse Now" "did not have place" in that society. Where more, then?

As the album had for heading "Strictly 4 My N. I. G. G. Z." (1993), what he hid the fact of almost all its purchasers to be small whites of the American suburbs. Two aggressions later, Tupac was invited to contracenar with Janet Jackson in "Police Justice", of John Singleton, and after having gone off against two policies the civilian still Kidney participated in the cast of "Above the". In February of 1994, he was imprisoned for having attacked the producers Allen and Albert Hughes and condemned the 15 days of arrest, after these having moved away from the sets of wheels of "Menace II Society".

I register in cadastre it of Shakur, that in November of 1993 was accused to violate a fan, hurried its abandonment of the Interscope publishing company and the ingression in the Death Row Records, discográfica company of Suge Knight. For this height, the controversy enters rap practised in the Coast This and the Coast West, or New Iorque and Los Angeles, were in the height. Of a side Puff Daddy (today, P. Diddy), of the other Suge Knight. Each one kept its companies - Bad Boy Entertainment and Death Row - and its tips of spear - Notorious B. I. G. and Tupac Shakur. Each one used to advantage a chance to humiliate the other.

The third album of Tupac, "Me Against the World" (1995), had however entered directamente for the table of the "Billboard", affirming it as one of the artists most representative of hip-hop. What it did not prevent that had been condemned for sexual abuse of Ayanna Jackson and sentenced the four years and way of arrest. In the first day of the judgment, Tupac was transferred five times and the suspicion of that Puff Daddy and Notorious B. I. G. would be for backwards of the event they had augmented. Using to advantage the innumerable expenditures that the artist kept with lawyers, it entered in scene Suge Knight, entrepreneur of "gangsta rap", that until then it had managed the career of Dr Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog. Pagou 1,4 million dollar so that Tupac left. Of the four years and way, it only fulfilled eight months.

It started to record the room album, "All Eyez on Me" (1996), in the following day to have left the arrest. The record finished for being double e, convinced of that Puff Daddy and Notorious B. I. G. they were for backwards of the assassínio attempt of that it are victim, Tupac it came back to assume the verbal violence and cited both in some letters, insinuating that had IDO for the bed with Faith Evans, the woman of Notorious B. I. G. the 7 of September of 1996, was transferred in Las Vegas, and it did not survive to the gust of shots. It would come to falecer six days later.

legacy. Although criticized, "gangsta incessantly rap" keeps a assinalável vitality in U.S.A. and although to have deceased it has six years almost, the legacy of Tupac continues to be explored by the mother and the Death Row Records, that however its name for Tha Row Records modified. The previous album of Tupac, "Until the End of Teams", conquered three platinum records, what it wants to say that vendeu three million copies more than. Its subjects continue to be source of inspiration for artists as Jay Z and Tony Braxton: both samplaram, recently, "Me & my girlfriend", of Tupac Shakur, that are cited some times in 8 film "Mile", carried out for Eminem.

Since that it died they had been published "Don Killuminati: the 7 Day Theory "(1996)," R U Still Down "(1997), a colectânea" Greatest Hits "(1998 ) and a record in partnership () with the Outlawz," Still I Rise "(1999).

In "Better Dayz", the 26 new bands result of recorded material for Tupac between 1994 and 1996, the one that if join rappers as Anthony Hamilton (that it participates in first single, "Thugz mansion" ), In, Trick Dddy, Mya, Ronald Isley, Tyrese and the Outlawz, and producers as 7 Aurelius (Ja Rule), Jazze Pha (Ludacris) and Frank Nitty (Big Punisher). The executive production was for account of the mother and Suge Knight. The "Intro" that opens the record not if has excused to comment the fact of six years after the death still being to be published original to each year that passes. But this is a record that assumes the side lightest of Tupac. Verve remains notable, but the effect gangsta is diluted in an album of clinical production. First single, "Thugz mansion", is presented in a version acoustics of the responsibility of In that it sends more for the lyric universe of Tupac of that its criminal past stops. But for the apreciadores of battles of MCs they are not to discard "Fuck ' in all" or "When we you laugh our enemies". Although recorded it has ten years almost, it has subjects that parts do not accuse to the ticket it time - with r&b as "Mama's just little girl".

The record edition promises to continue, even because of the 200 bands that Tupac never would have edited in life, half had been only disponibilizadas commercially. E the results of vendas lead to believe that it will not delay very until being edited new record. In the passed year, vendas had relieved seven million dollar, what in the listing of the magazine "Forbes" it places it in 10º place of a table led for artists who already had died as Elvis, George Harrison, John Lennon, Bob Marley and Hendrix.

However, the edition of "Better dayz" assumes particular importance: the inquiries around its murder had been reopened, much for account of an article published in September in the "Los Angeles Teamses", signed for journalist Chuck Philips (to see text to the side). The part comes back to relight the question between the Coast This and the Coast West and points the finger Notorious B. I. G. as being for backwards of the homicide. Also recently a book was published, "Holler If You Hear Me: Why Tupac Shakur Matters ", for Michael Eric Dyson, author of biographies of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

The circumstances of the death of Tupac Shakur can have accumulated the mystery around its figure. But they do not explain because it is that rapper that also was actor, poet and gangster, beyond defendant of sexual abuse, it still keeps today a bigger aura of the one than the one that possuía in life
