The petition against Amaru and Interscope and the handling of Tupac’s music and his legacy is gaining speed.

 

At the time of this writing there are 3,206 signatures on the petition.

It is the most active petition on that site. It is the number 1 hit petition there. You can keep up with the progress of the petition  HERE  . Sign or view the petition  HERE  . You can also keep up with the number of  signatures there to.

 

Fans seem to be mixed as if this petition will have any effect on Amaru or Interscopes outlook toward Tupac’s music. The best thing to get their attention would be just not to buy or support this album. It seems to be all about money and not Tupac’s legacy or his music at this point, so that would make the best statement.

 

Tupac made the list of 100 top Black Icons; coming in at number 12.

And he did not make that list because of just music sales or tee shirt sales, but for what he stood for and what he represented to the hip-hop community. At least some people are getting Tupac right and still recognizing that he was more than just a rapper or a source of tracks to be twisted and added to by pop-hop. Tupac made a lasting mark on the hip-hop community. One that should be respected and held to a higher standard than the standard  it is held to now by many in the game.

 

If you have not signed the petition yet I urge you to do so.
