by The Notorious B.I.G. ft. Diddy and Lil’ Kim: I saw a commercial a few days ago for a biographical movie, Notorious, that will come out in 2009. After reading about 2Pac and his murder yesterday, I became extremely intrigued with the “lack of evidence” to find Tupac’s or Biggie’s assassin(s). I’m a CSI and Law and Order fan and these two cases extremely interest me. I know there was a book, LAbyrinth, written that compiles evidence of an LAPD detective on both murders. Might have to add that to my list of literature to read!… Back to the music, this song must be the lead on the soundtrack because I heard it in the trailer. The track will take you back to the mid/late 90s when everyone was jamming to Juicy and Hypnotize. Thinking back, Biggie’s second album was titled Life After Death and was released just 16 days after he died. Sadly, it was as though he knew he was going to die. Like he knew somebody in his camp set him up and he was just waiting for the day. Fast forward to 2008. Do you hear Jay-Z or Lil Wayne talking about themselves dying? NO! If you think about it, A LOT of “rappers” would not have made it if Biggie and Pac were still alive . I get chills just thinking about it…This is some scary sh*t!?!

by Keyshia Cole ft. Tupac: My mom loves some Keyshia Cole so I thought I would let her preview this new track. I don’t know how she will feel about the rapping, but I haven’t heard a single from Tupac in a while and I love how his legend continues. This track appeared on his album that came out in 2006 but was never released as a single. Why waste a good single that features two (well maybe 1.5) talented artists? Must have been Keyshia’s exact thoughts because this has been confirmed to be the first single off her upcoming album, A Different Me, that will drop December 16th. I think this track will be marked legendary because of Pac’s presence, but will be seen as ‘just another song’ by many…
