Here is an interesting article about Pac and Biggie's Moms and how their legacy has continued...kinda shows how Afeni is keeping 2Pac immortal while Biggies mom is just trying to get justice.

Says Pac had around 150 unreleased songs...

Good article. However, shit like this pisses me off:

"Tupac was a troublemaker. By the time he died at age 25, he had shot two off-duty cops, been convicted of sexual abuse, and assaulted a film director."

I feel as though if you are going to address such incidents, it should be done thoroughly. Any one of us, being huge 'Pac fans, read this and we know that, well, the incident with the two off duty cops was self defense as 'Pac stepped in to help out a black man being harassed and the officers had been drinking and clearly instigated the incident. We also know the "truth" behind the sex abuse allegation, et cetera. However, someone who knows little to nothing about 'Pac will read this and get a distorted perception of him. Just my thoughts.

Doesn't Shakur want justice for Tupac? She isn't holding her breath. One of the principal suspects, Orlando Anderson, was killed a year and a half later, and the investigation seems to have stopped. "They still haven't solved Malcolm's murder. They still haven't solved Martin's murder," Shakur says, alluding to the suspicions around the deaths of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. In a flash, the fire of her Panther past rears up. "When they solve those, then they can get to Tupac."

purelypac your right but at the same time he didnt go in depth on either - and when he was sayin that, it was more to build up his point that Pac was more involved with law while alive, and now is revered as the artist and Biggie wasnt much involved with law while alive but its been constant over the last few years that his family is battlin the law 2 get justice on his murder

It's not a stretch to assume that Afeni realizes that almost everyone responsible for Pac's death has been dealt with.
