Tupac Shakur's mother has vowed to release the late rapper's entire body of work so new generations of fans can experience his previously unheard music.
The hip-hop star was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996 at age 25, and his mother, Afeni Shakur, is head of his estate and founder of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation which helps underprivileged children receive education and training. Shakur has now handed over her son's estate to Jampol Artist Management (JAM) and indicates there is more music to be released.
"I believe it is our responsibility to make sure that Tupac's entire body of work is made available for his fans. My son left many incomplete pieces and even more unfinished ideas," she said in a statement. "Using the blueprints he gave us, I am committed to fulfilling this duty."
JAM founder and president Jeffrey Jampol states: "It's our responsibility and our privilege to ensure that new generations of fans experience the power of Tupac's music, his ideas and his storytelling."
JAM is adding Tupac to a roster which includes the Doors, Janis Joplin and Otis Redding, according to Billboard.com.

yeah i hope the songs dont feature bums -
Everything tupac is on the internet already
-
Yay just hopefully its the original songs
-
Yeah. hopefully they have the original beats and everything else. Looks like everybody feels the same way about that.
-
Time to invest in Hennessey
-
-
You mean Outlawz?
Them ? were nice.
That was his group. -
Hopefully the production is somewhere in between UTEOT & Better Dayz cause those were the last two great Pac albums.
-
I don't think I wanna hear anymore unpolished tracks by Tupac gettin' his ? sucked and muffled vocals. Let the man RIP.
-
If its all the OG tracks remastered, instacop X2.
They better not have 2chainz, YMCM or MMG features to attract the new generation of retards to give it a chance. -
Still i Rise and Until the End of Time were dope... But thats because they were with artists who he worked with when he was alive
And other posthumous release has been a insult... Eminem cutting up his vocals to say G-Unit has to be hip hops biggest crime to date..... i mean WTF... ? disgusting -
hopefully aint no wack ? , wack producers and ? he aint/or would'nt have ? with on this
-
Inb4 they make Pac holla out yolo on a song with Bruno Mars on the hook
-
INB4 people come in here trying to tell Tupac's mama what to do with her own child's music
-
Pac's Life was dog ?
-
there was a bunch of tracks that didnt make the cut for AEOM
I just hope its untouched tracks where no rappers or producers after 96 are on it -
-
I want to hear the music he did with one nation
-
I want a better quality of till my dying day.

Afeni is trying to make as much money as possible with Tupac's music cant really knock her hustle. Don't get me wrong i dont support it the last Pac album i bought was Still I Rise..but i can understand where she's comin from.
All i want is a full box set of those unreleased OGs remasterd -

Yep, but it is his mother so it's understandable.
Don't think this will succesful tho. I think the whole 2pac phenomenom has worn off the last 10 years or so, especially with the internet and the discoverage of other artists in hip-hop besides 2pac and Biggie. Not saying he isn't still loved on a large scale but i still think people don't care as much especially with all those albums they've already released. IMO they should've stopped after "Still I Rise", or maybe "Until The End Of Time". "Better Dayz" had joints but it was just remixes and ? .

That was EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL
Another reason I say ? eminem, he's a ? -
I don't wanna hear Pac say "YMCMB" or "Maybach ? " or "Taylor Gang" or "RocNation" or "OH ? "
