Thug Life Army

Fans of the late west coast rap icon, Tupac Shakur have been eagerly waiting for news of a supposedly 2 disc set from the late rapper that his mother Afeni Shakur has talked about.

Afeni has said that the album would be the rap icon’s final unreleased song album.

In contacting Ravid Yosef, Interscope on line marketing promotions representative for Urban Music, we were told “There is no upcoming Tupac album.”

Having had ‘problems’ with the Interscope on line promotions people before, I know that you have to let them know what upcoming albums and projects you are interested in; and that is why I respectfully asked to be placed on their ‘list’ for a promo for review when the album comes out. The album is supposed to be out the first part of ’06.

The spoken word album that Afeni had talked about is not being mentioned either.

The answer we received from Interscope rep Ravid Yosef leads one to believe that they have no idea of an upcoming album.

We will try to find out more on this. Maybe this is a case of the’ left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing’; or maybe it is just a classic ‘dealing’ with Interscope on line representatives. Sometimes it appears you have to ‘beg’ them for info so you can give them free advertisement. Something ‘twisted’ in that thinking.

We will keep you posted on what we find out.

*Update – I was notified by Ravid Yosef that “I didn''t say there was no upcoming album "EVER".

So the update just shows the arrogance or the ‘mind reading’ one has to deal with when people think they are above those artists they represent. So for now it is a secret or just Interscopes on line people’s way of mind games. More updates as we can get them; but don’t hold your breath if you are looking for info from Interscope. Their info will come about 2 weeks before the drop, like it did for the ‘Loyal to the Game’ album, because they take Tupac fans loyalty for granted.
