HOT SHIT
-j

Finally, how about a statue at every office rented by interscope and universal!!! As much as they hated, as much as they shot him down, he still survives and they still continue to try and clone him.

This is long overdue, lift's his cup of joe early this morning to one of the most influential ppl to live in the 20th century.

GOD truly blessed us with Pac. In Hip Hop, there's Pac....and everyone else.

Ms.Afeni, thanks for your presence in the community. It reminds us that Pac is still in the building..4EVA

it seems funny to me to hear u guys praise pac like he was god or the second comin of christ. i would love to know wat he has done in is life besides rap to deserve that much honor.

yo J boog are u serious cuzzo? I don't put him up there with God but I do believe he was a messemger and he delivered it and that was that.

Check your Pac records (while he was alive) then give me a better catalog from start to finish....u can't do it!

Let me guess j-boogie the greatest two greatest artist in hip hop are still alive in your book eh? CHingy and nelly right? Fool, when you mature with age songs like who do u believe in and life goes on make a whole lot more sense than them joints you bumping right now.

RIP Pac. What a moving memorial for someone young,gifted and Black.

Pac was the best, but he was the best because he wasn't afraid to let us in. He talked openly about his flaws, and contradictions. As he said in an interview before his death, " I will plant the seeds to change the world". He didn;t get there, but he definitely helped some of us realize that we have a great deal to offer.

Even now his words are simplistic but they resonate and say so much more than the garbage that's out now

Take a look

"They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor."

"Did you ever stop to think that I'm old enough to go to war, but I'm not old to drink,"

"If I choose to ride, thuggin til the day I die, nobody gives a fuck about else, but when I start to rise a hero in their childrens eyes, now they give a fuck about else."

I could on, but yall get my point.

Pac- RIP Homie- we miss you in the physical form.

GGGGGGGGGGGG G UNIT!

50 CENT IS AWESOME

50 CENT IS AMAZING

50 CENT IS SOOO SEUCDTIVE

50 CENT IS DA BOMB

I aint dead. Im alive and well. Please be lookin out 4 my next album, "Im Back and still black".

Peace,

Pac was a great artist, poet, etc. but he's also very overrated, and misunderstood (but not for the reasons you may think).

Pac was idolized and put on a pedestal for all the wrong reasons. There's a lot you don't know about him, like the real reason he got shot it NY and how it was inevitable, and other things I won't mention because he isn't here to defend himself.

There's another side to Pac that you fans may not want to face. I won't speak ill of him, and nothing I can say will take away from his talent and contributions.

However, I offer for your consideration, that you may try to find out why Melle Mel made the comment "2pac was equivilant to Hilter and brought down an entire culture", or why others do not rate Pac as highly as you people do and why he does not deserve this statue.

Also, if you watch Resurection and listen to the Black Knights interview, you'll see some of what we're talking about. Tupac grew up in Baltimore, where he went to some high school for performing arts, and in Oakland, CA. He didn't grow up around Bloods and Crips, wasn't a gangmember, or anything like that. He grew up around ex Black Panthers and drug dealers.

He grew up and hung out with thugs, but he was no thug. He was a poet, a rapper, a voice of the streets, (one of many, I might add) but the fact is HE DIDN'T LIVE THE LIFE YOU HEAR ON HIS RECORDS!!! He was around it, had some experiences, he even shot at cops and got away with it lol, but people make the mistake of making him out to be more than he is. As a result, he has become mythical character. This is the point i'm trying to make, as to why he doesn't deserve this statue.

When people say that he or Biggie is the greatest rapper of all time, they commit blasphemy against Hip Hop. I mean he was good, but COME ON, THE GREATEST!?!

There are tons of artists out there who are better than 2pac. The media just makes it so it seems like 2pac is the best. In short the reality is he was a average man who died. He does not need to be remembered in this way through a statue. He does not deserve it.

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! before u attack me and try to make a hip hop newbies like most of u in this blog. just because he was the best in your time does not mean he is the greatest ever. as for the comment from that was made that ryda about the greatest there is no greatest thats the best part of hip hop that we can debate it. scam andkayser9soze you'll just a fans.kayser9soze u really insulted first my age and my hood when u said that i thought nelly and chingy was the greatest.

anyway i happy they have place for people to share the voice

lets remember that we all are entitled to our opinion. what may be good/great to one may not be to another, but dear mama, brenda's got a baby, keep your head up and many many more made us all think. the lyrics in pac's song made you think. love him or hate him he did plant a seed in all of our heads or we would not still be having this debate 9 years after his death. REST IN PEACE PAC

2pac lyrics were about real issues, things that are faced daily by ordinary people. he spoke about a teen having a baby but bearly had a brain, women keeping their heads up, sister you don't need him if he don't know how to treat you. not like most other rappers including biggie just to name one who only spoke about what he had, who he had, how much his car/clothes and jewerly cost. come on the youth can sing every word in a rap song but can't tell you when afro americans were freed. the youth do pay close attention to the lyrics of rap songs. if more of todays rappers spoke about serious issues that impact us a people maybe one of them can say that planted a seed in someone who will make a change. Pac was great.

2pac in all reality was a cartoon character. Bugs Bunny did more for the Black man than him.

Pac is the best 4 eva. You don't need to be a rocket scientist 2 understand that. You deserve tha statue Pac, keep thuggin it down. Do your thang.

Pac is the best 4 eva. You don't need to be a rocket scientist 2 understand that. You deserve tha statue Pac, keep thuggin it down. Do your thang.

Pac is the best 4 eva. You don't need to be a rocket scientist 2 understand that. You deserve tha statue Pac, keep thuggin it down. Do your thang.

once again i readin wat evryone is sayin about pac and makes me laugh to think all u have to do to get a statue is to make a few songs wit social commentary. the bottom line pac was a good mc but as far as him being great thats a bit extreme. why when we talk about pac people have to take shots biggie. can someone tell me wat pac has done to deserve a statue maybe i am missin something.

Interesting picture of Pac - you could have taken time to maybe re-size it and then it wouldn't be so obvious you lifted it. Imitation is the best form of PRAISE - thanks----LOL - lame ass site

ok mr. j boogie, if pac isnt great, tell me, who is? You obviously dont know that much about pac because he was a spokesman for all black people, and if you cant listen to his lyrics and tell me that what he is saying isnt something great, you are probably either not black or are mentally retarded. There were some black people i knew who were deeply depressed in the 90s and probably would of killed themselves if it wasnt for some of 2pac records and songs, he saved a lot of lives. You obviously dont understand the depth of 2pac. I feel sorry for you when it comes to this situation because you dont have any idea what your talking about. sure pac wasnt perfect and was a human just like us, but given his circumstances, and what poverty he had to face growing up, he did a hell of a job as an artist, and a person. If you disagree with that there is something wrong with you. If any black man deserves a statue other than the likes of martin luther king, malcom x, and a few others, it is certainly tupac shakur. I forgive you, boogie, for you do not know what youre saying. 2pac 4 life

once again someone has to attack me. its makin me laugh that some of you'll can't express yourself without anger. i am blk grew in e.n.y for those who don't know east new york brooklyn. yo the one thing that u r missin is that i never he didn't good lyrics wat my comment if u could read was wat makes him worthy of havin a statue. that is one of the hightest honor a man can recieve. why r u comparin pac to mlk, malcom x, those r people who lost there lives to improve the lives. u can not no instences were he sacrificed himself to improve the life others. at the end of the day he was a rapper people.
p.s. someone ask me who is great? Those Who Survived..................

2Pac doesn't have to be put in a category with Malcolm X, MLK, and so forth. Those men, in their own right, did something for the world. In 2Pac's case, it was through music where he reached many ppl's lives and possibly changed them. 2Pac died because of money grubbin execs who didnt want him to flourish on his own 2 feet. A death that should have never happened, but Pac did what he could in the borrowed time he had. His lyrics may have been simple at times, but their meanings went deeper than any thoughts at the time. The one thing that separates 2Pac from other rappers 2day is that he spit for something worth spitting about.. not bling bling, cars, women and shit. Sure, he had songs about that, but it wasn't the whole album (whichever they may be). People wanna ask why there should be a statue.. hell, why is there one for MJ in Chicago?? Did he do something for the entire world to change its atmosphere or how people think now a days?? Plain and simple, he might not deserve a statue, but that doesn't change what he did for a whole generation of people and make them think twice about themselves and others.

What RB you own the rights to Pac now?

J-boogie I couldn't agree with you more. Majority of Pac fans believe he's the God of all MC's. I think honestly Pac really started getting more exposure after his film roles because if anyone knows anything about his allustrious career(meant sarcastically) they know that he didn't have that same image when he first dropped. All rappers go thru stages within their careers some can make that transition and some can't. Pac doesn't deserve a statue he deserves to be mentioned in the rap hall of fame for being one of the most influential people in the rap game. I don't know what causes he fought for while he was alive but he did say some pretty interesting things in his ryhmes. All of his albums weren't hot either because if we really break shyt down the most recognized albums Pac had were All Eyes On Me and Me Against the World. The other albums he had after his death shouldn't even count because so many of it was done over or the same issh. I have nothing but respect for dude because I was a fan when he dropped "Trapped" but to say he was the illest is a stretch. I think his biggest mistake was getting hooked up with Suge because it's like when he found out how Suge got down that's when Suge took him out. It's unfortunate that we had to lose him that way but it's the ugly side of the game I guess.

Me being a 19 year old male..
I wasn't really a tupac fan as far as rap
Cause I wasn't old enough 2 really understand
What he was rappin about.shit I was only like 9.
So now that iam older and see what he went thru,rapped about and what he spoke about(sometimes).He was one of the greatest.
I believe he should get a statue cause he stood for something thru lyrics..words can save lifes as well as end them...
Why would jordan have a statue?
Why would john elway have a statue?
These muthafuckas haven't done anything besides play great ball...
WHY WOULDN'T PAC HAVE A STATUE???

u guys must be listening to different pac albums than i was cause wat some of u r sayin is completly u true. one person said he didn't rhythem about bling for sayin i know u r not a real fan. most of u claim u r fans but can't even name all his albums never the less songs on each album. as for that cat that was 8 when pac was out how old r u know were u around when pac was a backup dancer for digital underground or doin the humpty dance. anyway i heard good reasons for him not to have a statue but not any reason why he should. pac fans keep sayin the same few things he made brenda's got a baby and keep your head up.
ps this is a good everyone lets keep goin

Wanna know why he deserves a statue. Simply because he is respected by the most influential culture the world has ever seen. Whether you think he's the best or not, nearly everybody in hip hop respects the man and his music to some extent. Every artist is not respected.

Can you imagine the quality of music he would be making in 2005. What we hear is nearly 10 years old. He was a pioneer, a visionary. 50 copied his stlye, Ja did, DMX did too, blatantly. The man is an icon in hip hop, stop playin.

Tupac was a good rapper but I agree with J boogie he does not deserve to have a statue. I hear people saying oh he touched us with his words. Well did you ever stop to think how his oh so touching words also degraded women. Then you want to mention how he made songs like Brenda's got a baby and dear mama. Those songs were good songs but can someone tell me what contributions he made to help girls like brenda stop having babies or to help change the drug epidemic which we all know he helped support by selling. Or can someone tell me since they are comparing him to MLK and Malcolm X what cause he marched for and basically what he stood for? A statue for Tupac please that is a waste of time and money.

Well check out this new rapper. His name is Dream Master Q. He aint from Atlanta but is in the A promoting his new single, "Step to This." He is from Charleston,SC. Check him and his new single out at www.dreammasterq.com

Rappers simply don't deserve statues and ect. for glorifying the "thug life". When I was a nonstop rap fan, no doubt Pac was by far my favorite. But think about the lyrics in his songs and tell me if he glorified that kind of lifestyle, or did he denounce it and tell our kids and ect to not be like that? I hate to say it, but hip hop is hurting black culture much more than it's helping it. I know this personally...

Pac is the greatest of all times and can never be forgotten. For all the people that dont "feel" Pac they know deep down he's UNTOUCHABLE!!! No one can imitate him!!

Im coming from the north to see the statue be unveiled, for one day, he deserves that respect.

ATL is thme best place the statue could have been, it dont get no "blacker" than A T L!!! ATL is where its at, all the way around.

I hope Katrina doesnt rain on TUPAC'S parade.

Give me 10 songs on his 4 albums when he was alive where he sang about bling, money, cars, etc on the whole song??? Dont confuse this man for Ludacris or Cash Money. The man had more songs talking about life's realities than he did about stupid shit. Plain and simple, he really doesn't deserve one, but he will stand as one of the best, if not the best, MC of all time. This generation of rappers is on str8 garbage. I wouldn't be mad about it, hell I might even visit the statue one day. BTW, prayers go out to all who have been affected by Katrina.

pac started a revolution look where hip hop was before pac came and tore the game up

now we have people in the hip hop community starting schools, centres for the arts, places for the homeless ,football teames ,charities ,movie companies

anayway in my eyes i think tupac is just as influential or more than malcom x or hewey newton after all all they did was talk and they started a revolution

See ya in 2006 Pac!

2pac,
it is crazy that this arugument is still even going on. How could there even b a question?
I bet when Jesus Christ died those that were too blind to see or hear were saying "why should he have a religion/church started after him?".
Its all right Black Jesus,
cos some of us do have the ears to hear
when u said the things u said to heal the brohers like:
"nigga with the cellular phone/leave is baby at home/so he can go out and bone/and they bound to be fuck ups too/drinkin 40 of brew/singing nigga blues/"

U had the courage, the foresight, the energy, and the God given gift to reach us that way. Thank you so much for the sacrifices u made to say these things---never settling, always asking questions always growing. If ppl would look at ur pictures and just look at ur eyes then they would know why you deserve a statue. U deserve to be our generations anthem.

One Love Black Jesus,
Mary Magdalene

Young Jeezy, D4L,Maceo,T.I,LIL Jon& the Eastside Boyz are the BEST in the ATL-ZONE3 Dirty south.

RIP 2pac - although he wasnt directly affiliated with the bloods and the crips (which someone did mention before) - his songs told us the of the reality that we lived in. Thats 2pac. There are other good hip hop artists out there - I listen to eminem and chingy (for their beats) - but 2pac - he is the greatest, because of what he put in his songs. Its not about the beat - its about the meaning.

RIP Brother....

So this is what our society has come to? Sad...we continue to misplace our values.

What positive contribution did he make to society? How did he uplift Black people?

If you needed Pac to open your eyes to what was going on in society then you are really out of touch with reality.

I was just reading over this board and i can easily distinguish the true pac fans from the ones who don't know what the hell there talking about. Pac may not have been the greatest rapper as far as skills, ok thats fair to say but that don't change the fact that this man is a legend. like it or not. That in itself is enough reason for him to have a statue. peroid. Tupac is a cultural icon. Just like bob marley, and elvis thats the level pac is on. It's silly to talk about pac by comparing him these other rappers. Every rapper alive today in the back of there minds dream of reaching the level tupac is on. They wish to recieve love from the masses the way tupac did. But its not an easy task. Because legends aren't commerial products, you can't fool the whole public, by means of devious marketing, into loving you. It comes naturally and either they'll love you or they won't. It just something special about legends that draw the love from the masses. And tupac had it. So when ya'll are going back and forth about whose the greatest realize that pac isn't just another rapper, but a legend. So yea your favorite rapper may have some hot lines but i doubt they will ever be on the same status as pac. Because pac is probably even your favorite rappers, favorite rapper.

Im 18 and Im in Highschool. If you still in highschool Or you just want to ball out of Control you need to do this. I have made $10,000 in about a month and I have so much Bathing ape Clothing it's ridiculous. So if you need some dough, loot, money whatever you call it just read this and follow the instructions and the money will start pouring in.

I'm sure you’ve read these letters asking you to send $1 to 6 different addresses. Putting your home address on the internet can be risky, but through paypal all you have to provide is your email address. It’s safe and easy just go to www.paypal.com and set up your account!!!! I am not a gullible person and have never trusted things like this, but I gave it a try, hey its only $6, I figured at least 6 people would respond out of the millions of people that use the internet. You should give it a try too! You have nothing to lose, and thousands to gain! Read on for the letter that I found ...
$$ HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000+!!! THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! $$

A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroup, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 though paypal to each of the emails stated in the article. You then place your own email address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 news groups. (There are thousands) No catch that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it. It follows the same regulations as the "mailed chain letters, which according to the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!? Within 7 days, I started getting money in my paypal account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00. By the end second week I had made a total over $1,200.00!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $36,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's Certainly worth $6.00. I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works? Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.

$$ REQUIREMENTS: You must have a verified paypal account. If you do not have an account you can go to www.paypal.com and follow the instructions to set up a free account. In order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with paypal (which may take a few days). Paypal is 100% secure and is used by millions of people world wide.

STEP 1: Send, through paypal, $1.00 to each email on the below list. Make the subject of the payment "Email List" and in the comments, write "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST." What you are doing is creating a service by this and best of all you are not giving your address to anyone you do not know ... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! The email list:

#1) stuck1980@yahoo.com
#2) clazthecat@hotmail.com
#3) young_ralph_lauren@yahoo.com
#4) lookat_thisguy@hotmail.com
#5) Monsraymond@yahoo.com
#6) chiprideandjoy@aol.com

STEP 2: Now take the #1 email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc) and add YOUR email address (the one used on the paypal account) as number 6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups, message board. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list!

$$ DIRECTIONS $$ HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS + MESSAGE BOARDS $$

Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer memory.

Step #2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.

Steps #3) save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to.

Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. For example: you log on to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com then you search with subject like ?millionaire message board? or ?money making message board? or ?employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or ?money making forum? or ?business message board? etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message.

Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the Edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations? THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

$$ REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money within days! $$

$$ JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL. $$ Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00!

A - M - A - Z - I - N - G - $$

$$ When your name is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.

Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. Seriously, most people think this is a scam, but you actually do get thousands of dollars out of it, it is NOT another crazy stupid scam, if people follow through with sending out $6, it works!!!!!

$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON'T PASS THIS UP! $$

In order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with paypal (which may take a few days). Paypal is 100% secure and is used by millions of people world wide.

STEP 1: Send, through paypal, $1.00 to each email on the below list. Make the subject of the payment "Email List" and in the comments, write "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST." What you are doing is creating a service by this and best of all you are not giving your address to anyone you do not know ... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! The email list:

#1) stuck1980@yahoo.com
#2) clazthecat@hotmail.com
#3) young_ralph_lauren@yahoo.com
#4) lookat_thisguy@hotmail.com
#5) Monsraymond@yahoo.com
#6) chiprideandjoy@aol.com

STEP 2: Now take the #1 email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc) and add YOUR email address (the one used on the paypal account) as number 6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups, message board. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list!

$$ DIRECTIONS $$ HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS + MESSAGE BOARDS $$

Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer memory.

Step #2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.

Steps #3) save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to.

Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. For example: you log on to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com then you search with subject like ?millionaire message board? or ?money making message board? or ?employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or ?money making forum? or ?business message board? etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message.

Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the Edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations? THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

$$ REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money within days! $$

$$ JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL. $$ Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00!

A - M - A - Z - I - N - G - $$

$$ When your name is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.

Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. Seriously, most people think this is a scam, but you actually do get thousands of dollars out of it, it is NOT another crazy stupid scam, if people follow through with sending out $6, it works!!!!!

$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON'T PASS THIS UP! $$

2 pac
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is

[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]
Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
aww yeah
[Repeat]

[2]
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

[Bridge]

[Talking:]
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

[3]
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp slap you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh
"Fuck Suge"
"Fuck Death Row"

PAC KEEP DOIN WHAT UR DOIN MAN........

I VISITED THE AMARU CENTER IN G.A. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE VERY PLEASED WITH HOW PACS MOM KEEPS HER SONS MEMORY AND DREAMS ALIVE THRU THE CENTER.JUST THINK IF EVERY RAPPER LIVED TO STAND FOR SOMETHING BESIDES DRUG DEALING,BERATING WOMEN AND HOW MUCH JEWERLY THEY HAVE. IM NOT SAYING DONT SPEAK ON IT.BUT IT HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF BALANCE.WE AS A PEOPLE HAVE TO REALIZE WHO CONTROLS OUR MUSIC. ONCE AGAIN I SAY OUR MUSIC.THE BIGGEST GENERE OF MUSIC TO DATE.AND WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT LET GET OUT TO THE MASSES . THE ONLY FORM OF MUSIC THAT IS SO CONFRONTATINAL THAT MUSICIANS ARE BEING KILLED.JUST A QUICKER FORM OF GENOCIDE.IF ALL WE LISTEN TO IN HUSTLING, GAT TOTING ,BITCH THIS, HOE THAT, THEN WHAT IS THE YOUTH THAT HOLD THIS FORM OF MUSIC IN SUCH HIGH REGARD IS GOING TO DO WITH IT. THATS RIGHT NOTHING BUT PUT US FARTHER BEHIND.SO WE AS A STRONG PEOPLE HAVE TO REALIZE WE ARE THE BEARERS OF THIS MUSIC AND IF OUR MUSIC DOESNT HELP OUR PEOPLE GROW INTELLECTUALLY AND SPIRITUALLY THEN WHAT WILL THE FUTURE OF RAP BE.NOTHING BUT A MONEY MAKING MACHINE FOR THE POWERS THAT BE.LETS WAKE UP MY PEOPLE AND LEAD AS LEADERS AND STAND FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL STAND FOR THE TEST OF TIME. RIP TO ALL OF THE FALLEN SOLDIERS AND SOLDIERETTES THAT HAVE FALLEN IN THE LINE OF FIRE. PEACE GODS

This is Rio 'G' comin straight from the streets of the CHI. To all you bitch ass muthafuckin haters out there need to take y'all ass to fuckin hell somewhere, especially the Pac haters.
Everytime I fuckin turn around, it's some punk ass bitch tryin to diss my man Pac. These punk ass niggaz on here like J-Boogie, Wisdom Allah, and Truthfully Speaking trying to talk down on Pac and shit. I want all 3 of you bitches to come to the southside of the CHI, where I stay, so that I can beat the shit outta all 3 of you bitches for disrespecting the greatest. I takes this rap shit very seriously. I ain't gon trip because there's way more people that gives Pac his props than the punk ass bitches hatin on Pac, and besides only real true niggaz fucks with Pac and can relate to the shit that Pac raps about in all his songs, especially a real nigga like me. Pac had it all as a rapper, the lyrics, the beats, the rhythm, the chorus, the melody, his versatility, his way of flowing from one flow to another flow, the hits, the albums, the man had it all as a rapper, lyrically, every fuckin song he made is tight, and all those are some of the reasons why he is the greatest rapper of all time, and that's a fuckin fact. Whoever don't agree with that need to just leave rap music alone period. The ones that's hatin on Pac don't even know shit about Pac nor the Rap game anyway, and the Pac haters turn out to be those Chingy, Nelly, Bow Wow, 50 Cent, Nick Cannon, Omarion, flower ass type of bitches. Despite all of that, Pac is a true icon, a true legend, represented what was real, he was a deep brother, he was passionate, and he is the true definition of hip hop. This year also marks the 9-year anniversary of Tupac's death so I would like to say R.I.P. to Tupac Amaru Shakur a.k.a. MAKAVELI THA DON, the poet, the actor, the rapper with the most street cred forever, the greatest-selling rap artist of all time, and most definitely, the greatest rapper of all time. 1 LOVE
Like Pac said
"Real niggaz do what they wanna do, bitch niggaz do what they can do"
THUG LIFE!!!
RIO 'G'
CHI-TOWN 4 LIFE
