Whoops
The world of Tupac — his workhorse mentality, his vault of work and the sheer amount of life he lived in 27 years on Earth — leads to some very odd stories leaking out from time to time. In the face of all that, a contract dispute seems pretty mundane. But that’s exactly what we have going on right now with R&B singer Natasha Walker.
Given the scope of Tupac’s reach and the amount of people who had to be involved for Tupac to make as much work as he did, it’s a little surprising that you don’t hear about people coming for a slice of the late legend more often. Kudos to Pac’s lawyers for that one. But Walker says they made a pretty egregious oversight when it comes to his track “Bury Me A G.”

It really is astounding, the amount of news that Tupac generates decades after his death. Take for example, the recently unearthed jailhouse interview where he reveals that it was his friends who shot him (the first time).
“I don’t got no friends. I don’t got no friends. I got supporters. People on my side and people on the other side,” he warned. “Watch people. Because you can fake for a long time but one day, you’re going to show yourself to be phony.”
When the interviewer asked what had him so paranoid, Tupac let it drop that his own people had shot him.
“I know who shot me. I don’t care about telling the police none of that. I don’t care about none of that,” he said. “Be to yourself. Stay to yourself. Trust nobody. Trust nobody. You know what I mean? Straight up.”
He continued:
“My closest friends did me in. My closest friends, my homies, people I done took care of their whole family. I done took care of them, looked out for them. Put them in the game, everything. Turned on me. Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love. All the love I gave didn’t mean nothing when it came to fear.”
