2Pacalypse Now banned

[psychol1982]

I wonder if anybody (perhaps Dante) knows, when it was that this album was banned. Could anybody put here some related time period? Also, it would be good to give the source od the information

Acording to VIBE magazine book about Tupac there is information that Dan Quale denounced Tupac's album on 22 September 1992 - is this THE date?

Thanks, and have a nice day!

The album was never banned. If it was you wouldn't be able to go to the record store and buy it. Dan Quayle did denounce the content on the album after a man who was charged with shooting a highway Patrolman claimed he was influenced by the album, but it was never actually banned

A state trooper was killed. The killer was listening to the album.

Who is to blame? State Trooper? Killer? No, of course not. Answer = 2pac.

 

[Devious]

Yeah a state trooper, not Highway Patrol, my bad. Pittsey, don't you know that's the American way? Blame anyone and anything but yourself. Kill a cop? No problem, just blame Grand Theft Auto and 2Pac, and you'll probably get off.

 

[EDouble]

just blame Grand Theft Auto.

thats what i do :thumb:

Or Marilyn Manson. See, it's the American way. Now you don't have to take responsibility for anything, just blame it on a movie, TV, video game, or your favorite musical artist

I blame Marilyn.

blame the judicial system for letting me blame others instead of taking responsibility, if i wasnt able to blame something else and get away with it i wouldnt have done it, so blame them for allowing it

I don't think blaming a flame is going to work.

Thank you for your answer since you are the only one who touched the topic in this thread.

I read somewhere that it was banned for the short period, not forever, so I was wondering about the period. Thanks anyway

Some anti-rap groups destroyed a bunch of explicit CD's like 2Pacalypse Now, Straight Outta Compton, 2 Live Crew, As Nasty As You Wanna Be, The Chronic, Doggystyle, AMerikkkaz Most Wanted, 187um(Dr.Dre)It's On, etc.

Yo Ricardo - what about that line from Point The Finga:

''I thought I hit rock bottom
they banned my album.. point the finger
I guess nobody loves a real nigga-slash-rap singer''
