Tupac Shakur: TBA Album
The upcoming 2006 album by rapper 2Pac has not been named yet. It is scheduled for release on Tuesday, November 11, 2006. The album will be a double disc, other rumors saying otherwise. After much fan disappointment of Loyal to the Game, it has been said that this album will be a special, and perhaps the best posthumous release of Tupac Shakur's work. There has also been rumors surrounding the album art and the title. The first single was to be released Wednesday, September 13, 2006, but the date passed without the anticipated release. It was instead released on Thursday October 5, 2006, featured Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and was produced by Swizz Beatz.
For a while this was known as Tupac's last official album, how ever since that was said, it looks like Tupac fans will still get another album after this one. It has been confirmed that this definitely won't be his last. The Tupac albums continue to keep Tupac's legacy alive, even ten years after his death.
Guests and Producers
The only confirmed producer is Johnny "J", who worked on a lot of the tracks for Until the End of Time and All Eyez on Me
Rumors about guest artists are also surfacing. On the BET special "Chop Up" with Tupac featured, they announced that such artists as Chamillionaire, 50 Cent, Young Buck, Big Daddy Kane. Also confirmed on their official website, The Outlawz will be back on the new album. XXL Magazine has confirmed that Krayzie Bone & Swizz Beatz will be featured on the album . The first single will feature Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and produced by Swizz Beatz.
Various internet articles confirmed that there would be a track with both Snoop Dogg and South African artist Zola along Tupac on a track, (rumored to be either Pac's Life or Street Life) however, the trip to South Africa in which Zola's cut would be recorded was canceled by Afeni Shakur for personal reasons, and was postponed until June 16, 2007, which would be Tupac's 36th Birthday. No word if Zola still laid down vocals.
Rumors
In a 2Pac forum, there featured a post which had a supposed confirmed Afeni Shakur interview from Time magazine. One of the questions asked was: "Are we to expect any new Tupac albums?" Afeni's reply: "There will be a new album released at the end of the year and the album will feature some prominent hip hop artists, plus new material."
Rumors surfacing the internet include tracks being produced by such artists as Dr Dre, The Neptunes, Kanye West and 50 Cent.
Various hip hop sites, posted reports that 50 Cent wanted to produce 'the next Tupac album,' (which is now confirmed as the November album being released). How ever, no news has been posted since regarding 50 cent producing the album, it seems the new Tupac album with have various producers, one of which could still be 50.
Other interviews on Tupac forums, have suggested supposed confirmed guest appearances will be: Ne-Yo, E-40, DK, Papoose, Young Dre, and a track with the Notorious B.I.G and other dead rappers.
These are just rumors, nothing has officially been confirmed from reliable sources, though confirmation on the new Tupac album is set to drop very shortly.
