15th ANNIVERSARY OF TUPAC SHAKUR'S DEATH. R.I.P(JUNE 16,1971–SEPT 13,1996)

September 6, 1996 Tupac Shakur was shot after a Tyson fight in Las Vegas. Seven days later, on September 13, 1996 he passed away. It’s been 15 years today.
Not only did he make everlasting music when he was alive, but continued that level of excellence even after his death! With 9 posthumous albums, including 3 of them reaching number 1 on US charts, 2pac shows that he was relentless in the studio. Many consider him the voice of a generation and I wouldn’t be one to argue that.
His talents musically didn’t match the level of intelligence he truly had. The power he had with his words, the way he voiced his opinion no matter how blunt or possibly offending it may be,
and the overall talent he had has a
rapper, actor, poet, and as a human being is damn near unmatched to this day.
The irony in a lot of his songs, that led to his ultimate fate, goes to show that he knew he was a target. He knew that he was going to be someone that was loved by millions, and hated by just as many.
Through all that, if somehow you don’t take anything from 2pac’s legacy, at least take these three words. Life goes on. If he could speak to us right now you
know he wouldn’t want us mourning himon this day. “Have a party at my funeral,let every rapper rock it.” That’s exactly how he would want it to go down. So everyone join me today by playing 2pac’s music all day long. And Pac, life has gone on my friend. And so have you.

Game - 'I Almost Formed A Supergroup With Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel'

One of the cuts on Game’s upcoming The R.E.D. Album (August 23rd), “Heavy Artillery,” features Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel, but the three emcees contemplated further collaborations. Speaking with LWW team, the Compton, California native said that the trio considered
calling themselves “ESPN (Everyday
Stacking Paper Niggas)” but that
circumstance stifled the super group’s
formation. “Me, Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel [were
going to call ourselves] ‘ESPN (Everyday
Stacking Paper Niggas),’” he said. “That’s
what it is. We entertained doing a group
before, but then Rick Ross went crazy
with the Maybach Music Group and he signed Meek Mill and all of them. So that reality didn’t come to pass. But that’s
where it was when we did ‘Heavy
Artillery.’ If you can imagine an album
with us three.”

Mugabe dying...?

A close source told LWW that Mugabe is slowly dying.''he spends the whole day sleeping,he barely walks without taking his medication- energetic pills,his condition was worsened after his surgical operation'' said the close source who refused to be identified to the public. ''i dont like the tyranny but am afraid that if he gets to know i have leaked this information,it will be over for me and my family''
Why are the people there not revolting against this tyranny? I wonder? Or is it that the world leaders are afraid to take this animal to Hague because seriously people are being denied their freedom and rights. Elections are supposed to be held this June 2011 and our source told us that the Government is secretly mobilising young youths to beat up people who are against the current leader promising them a Virgo(latest trucks) to each one of them. ''this is not fair...''clamoured the source.
