It makes perfect sense. How many mothafuckas actually have a real relationship with their folks? How many want to have shit to do with their folks after they're grown? True he made "Dear Mama" but I'm saying that being his mother doesn't automatically mean he would have wanted her to control his legacy.
took the words out my mouth. Looking forward to the orca cd dropping in june tho. Cbo know damn well we would be on stage with the tupac hologram if he was invited. And u niggas are insane to think its not ok even tho Ms. Afeni Shakur says so. Just because u are fan or even friend of bo doesnt mean u have to be a dickrider
This got me thinkin'... It's true that the hologram was pretty elaborate, but in reality, isn't that what we're doing EVERY TIME we watch or listen to an old 2pac video or any deceased artist's music or videos for that matter? Using technology to "bring them back"?
I guess the real issues could be, is the artist's right to be represented in the proper context being respected? Was the artist's general philosophy one of, "Oh, don't worry about it breh ... go 'head... get cha money. I aint EVEN trippin" or one of,"Fuck you, PAY ME!"
For example, if Prince were deceased (god forbid) I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have wanted himself brought back as a hologram without EXTENSIVE remuneration to his estate... IF AT ALL.
It seems to me that Pac probably wouldn't have had an issue with ANYBODY getting paid. He knew that his relationship with Snoop & Dre was mutually beneficial and as such, any or all of them should be able to benefit from that relationship... I do think though, that he was a very principled man, and therefore would not have wanted to be further associated with anyone that he deemed to be a mortal enemy, as well as any self professed "soul mates", who were in fact total strangers, that he never met or had the chance to personally scrutinize. in other words, just because one party says it's all good, does't mean all parties feel that way.
At this point... I'm still divided...

You must be kidding...right?
Blood is blood, and if a parent (yes, they are still a parent regardless HOW OLD THE "KID" is) gives the OK, then you keep it pushin becuase that is NONE of your business. Period.
And Pac LOVED his mother, and it was not hard to see that. Im not even a Pac fan and i know that they were VERY close, and that she was his biggest inspiration when it came to life, music, and poetry.
If your parents outlive you, i would only HOPE that you would trust ANYTHING financial to be handled by them...they RAISED you.
