@DaveyDave 2Pac's Grammy exhibit:

Los Angeles’ Grammy Museum Hosts “All Eyez On Me” Tupac Exhibit

LOS ANGELES’ GRAMMY MUSEUM HOSTS “ALL EYEZ ON ME” TUPAC EXHIBIT
KIAH FIELDS

NOVEMBER 17, 2015

If you happen to be in Los Angeles, California anytime before January 10, 2016 you have a chance to visit The Grammy Museum in downtown off Olympic Blvd. After paying the $12 entry fee, you will be directed to the elevator where you begin your self-led tour. On the fourth floor where the tour begins you will find a very special exhibit showcasing some of the personal work of one of pop culture’s most influential icons, Tupac Shakur. Receiving donations from the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, the exhibit houses actual notebooks used by Tupac along with artifacts from his career.

The exhibit is split into an inner and outer circle. The inner circle held three pillars that were split into six different sections that represented 2Pac as an artist. The categories are The Early Years, 2Pac: The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Inspirations and Influences, The Businessman and Words of Wisdom. Behind each glass case that makes up the sections, there are poems written by Tupac and his mother, Afeni Shakur, family photos, pictures of ‘Pac on tour and at shows, actual written verses from his personal journals, original poetry on its original paper, books he read, and outlines of multiple business ideas that Tupac had planned for his future. In the outer circle, there are screens that play multiple biographical interviews, music videos, concert footage, and a special freestyle between Tupac and the late Notorious B.I.G. In the middle of the outer circle is a glass case that housed three full outfits and a personalizedDeath Row Records letterman jacket. The first of the outfits is the Versace shirt and shoes that Tupac sported in the E-40 “Rapper’s Ball” video. The second is the Versace suit that Tupac wore to the 1996 Grammy Awards and was coupled with a picture of him and rock legends KISSbefore presenting the award for Best New Artist and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. The third is a Duke jersey and some 1996 Olympic Scottie Pippen Uptempos ‘Pac donned at the AIDS Project Los Angeles fundraiser. In the back corner of the exhibit, there is glass room with a wooden bench and a screen playing an interview of a young Tupac in high school from 1988 featured in the film Thug Angel.

As you walk around the exhibit tracks, from the diamond selling (that’s 10,000,000 copies) album All Eyez on Me fitting to the title of the exhibit. There is a mural of ‘Pac that takes up an entire wall and a pillar of microphones lit up as if it were center stage in the middle of the floor. The exhibit gives the viewer a look inside the mind of a genius that is rare and unique. Before this exhibit, very few people have had a chance to look into the actual notebooks that Tupac himself spent hours flipping pages and penning his thoughts. It is a breath taking experience and is something that all fans of Tupac and rap music as a whole who are able should take the time to check out.








Sh*t looks kind of dope :ohhh:

:snoop: omg you're a complete fukkwit you said AEOM won "every award known to man" then found out it was only actually one or 2. Then tried to backpeddle by showing that the album made a gang of "best albums of the 90s" type lists in various magazines and blogs.

ehhh. their big sales mostly came later on from outside of hip-hop. sorta like most of the beastie boys albums.

and that double cd when doubles only costed $20 is what really inflated their numbers.
We don't know who bought what or why,facts are facts and outkast moved more.
I think Bone was better (them and N.W.A. are my goat groups)
From a success standpoint Bone peaked a year after they came out
where as Outkast peaked 9 years after they came out.
I don't believe THE LOVE BELOW is a hiphop album,but it was originally packaged with speaker box and the album did what it did.

OUTKAST
Certification Units: 22mil


BONE THUGS 'N HARMONY
Certification Units: 13.5mil

lol. yes we do know why it sold. you can play dumb all you want. but don't be one of those guys that turns around and asks what happened to hip-hop in the next thread.
In general, that chit was not buzzing with anybody in hip-hop except our nerds. lol. they didn't even market the previous album towards the rap crowd at all either.:laugh:

you think speakkerbox is the reason for it selling 5 mil??(not 10 mil. it really sold 5). and even the hit from speakkerboxx was MUCH more of a hit outside of the rap world than it was within it.

and bone peaked 2 years after they came out.
from a hip-hop standpoint(which is all you should be concerned about), outkast peaked in their rookie year.

honestly, biggie was kinda at the right place at the right time.

he was the figurehead star that the east coast was desperately looking for. so when he stepped up and got the spot, the media did everything in their power to make him into the greatest thing since sliced bread.

no knock on the guy. hes a legend regardless, but once you bypass the hype & propaganda, I'm not sure about him being an all-time top 10 guy. I never saw him as a true equal to pac either. he was more like 2pac's arch-enemy than anything. I always thought nas & jay were better than biggie. hell, AZ & Raekwon too.

EDIT: puff & them laced biggie with the HITS tho.
The bolded defined biggie's RTD run's success,not that other shyt.
Biggie dropped 4 singles,all of which were classic
Was on 3 singles with Jr. Mafia,All of which were classic
Was on Michael Jackson's album.
Can't u see with total and dropped a classic verse.
