Blessing or Disgrace?

#1
Now i'm sure that we are all aware of the recent explosion of acapellas leaking to the streetz and the internet. Now personally, i am a BIG fan of good professional and fan-made remixes. I think the mixers do an excellent job, tho there are many that are horrible, which iz 2 be expected.

My question iz, do you think it iz rite that 2Pac's vocals get released to the public to be remixed over and over again, without Mr. Shakur's permission? I mean this is his voice we are dealing with. Iz it even rite that they are released to professional DJ's by his mother's establishment? Isn't 2Pac the only one that should give the say so on wether or not they should be released. I dont think he would do so if he waz alive cuz he knowz how he wanted his music 2 sound. Iz it a blessing for us fans 2 have these vocals? or is it a Disgrace to Tupac Shakur?

My Opinion: Tupac wanted his music 2 carry on after he died, he said himself that most of his songs were only skeletons of projects 2 come. I believe by stating that, he waz predicting hiz own future without knowing it.
I believe that since 2pac did want hiz music 2 carry on, then he also wanted it 2 sound good. Now we know some of the professional mixez of hiz songs on posthumous albumz are not that great, so that iz where a fan-made remix would sound better. There are many fan-made remixes that are better than album mixes. I think the fan-remixers have az much rite 2 remix them az professional producers do. Why would it be wrong? becuz the fanz do not have Afeni's permission? Well they are not Afeni's vocals, they are 2Pac's. 2Pac never said who he wanted 2 remix hiz acapellaz, remember that. So i think it is a BLESSING that we can all share our favorite rappers voice, and produce great mixes the way he would want them. But i also think it iz a DISGRACE if the vocalz are used IMPROPERLY, such az making 2Pac say thingz he never said.

Peace

Now what's your point, it's too much text for such unimportant shit: Let everybody remix and reproduce what the fuck he wants as long as they don't do it to make money off it..

Whats my point? READ CAREFULLY. Too much text? sorry, i didn't know there was a limit....DO NOT post on this board if you CAN't HANDLE intelligent conversations. Unimportant shit? I think not. I think 2Pac would have alot 2 say about hiz vocals being leaked 2 the streets. My aim is to see the difference in opinions that people have, since i stated how i felt. Now, to our smart members of this board that know how to read, i look foward to your opinions.

the truth is that barring the officially released acapellas on promos and singles, all others have been stolen or otherwise improperly leaked. while it may seem inconsequential to have a thousand remixes of komradz (for example), these remixes severely jeopardize an official release of the track. on the same token, if given an acapella i'd love to try to remix it. true, it's important to keep pac's music alive through the almighty remix, but at the end of the day the acapellas that have leaked unofficially were not meant to, and we as fans have to accept the consequences of this.

If they twist his words to make him say things he never did, then that's a problem.

But the whole acapella thing is really a non-care issue. Amaru is still going to remix the utter shit out of them so let the fans make their own album of remixes. I think it's great that they are leaked because people can / could do justice to the songs.

i think this is another way for pac's music to go on, sure there's going to be a plethora of remixes, but thats life.

also nice to hear the original accapellas and hear who was on it.

Well when they are ripping up and destroying his music at interscope fuck em. Pac is dead, his music is being isn't being handled properly and as a result fans have to make do with what they can.

I am a big supporter of making remixes. Alot of fantastic producers are on this board and you can always find those mixes that best suite your taste... wether its a guitar, piano or another instrument carrying the song it puts a whole new feeling on the song. I love it and i am on a constant search for those remixes that i like. Especially when Loyal to the game was massacred by eminem.

Now calm the fuck down, u been askin thirty questions in one single thread, that´s the reason why i didn´t get ure point.
What u wanna do about all the leaking of accapelaz and the good and horrible remixes. I think every fan has the right to do this as long as they don´t do it for profit. Since pac passed away nobody can give any permission to use his vocals, maybe afeni but she been abusing her own son´s voice too to make money for her projects. A lot of fans did a better job then she did..
On the other hand, the before unreleased songs (songs like Komradz, Tongue Kissin´ and Penitentary Bound) will probably never be released. That´s why I would rather have the OG´s to be leaked.

I've burned my own version of loyal 2 the game album with most of the tracks produced by ppl on this bord. The official version wouldn't be that bad if they didn't put words in his mouth. i understand wanting 2 introduce 2pac to a newer, younger audience, but damn. I say long live leaked acapellas, if we can't get the album we want.......we'll make it.
