Tupac Shakur photo: Shocking news about slain rapper!
TMZ's recently published photos of a man who looks like Tupac Shakur -- and the brand new photos of another man who also looks like the slain rapper -- proves one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt.
No, not that Tupac is alive and well and goes to a bar in New Orleans.
The photos prove there are a lot of skinny bald black guys with earrings out there. Who knew?

Way to go, TMZ. Now do us all a favor.
Start concentrating on helping the police find out who leaked/sold the Rihanna post attack photos to you.
Then maybe the court can salvage the Chris Brown alleged assault case so he doesn't get off scot-free.

Photo: An old photo of Tupac Shakur, the real one, the one who's dead.
I am a Tupac lover and have been since my daughter who is 35yrs. old started to listen to him as a young teen until he died. I don't like at all the way you are so insensitive to as you put it,"there are a lot of skinny bald black guys with earrings out there. Who knew?" Even when he was alive white people had a problem pronouncing his name..or just didn't take the time to say it correctly. When Tupac was born to Alice Faye Williams (later called Afeni Shakur) he was named Lesane Parish Crooks, not Tupac Amaru. After Alice Faye Walker married Mutulu Shakur, who became Pacs Stepfather and the man in his life, she changed her name to Afeni Shakur. Mutulu was muslim, and Shakur stands for "Thankful to god". Afeni changed Tupacs name in 1972. Tupac Amaru was named after a famous inca who fought for the incas rights.
The second meaning of Tupac Amaru is arabic and means "Shining serpent"
He was a talent that was taken away much, much too soon. Were you aware that they teach Pac's lyrics and much of his unpublished works at college campuses? Naa, didn't think you did. As long as you THINK that you are being amusing..you guys will keep it up. Grow the hell up!
Geez, what the heck is that all about? While sometimes posts on here are stupid, I see nothing wrong with this one. It is just pointing out how ridiculous TMZ is for doing this. I think you should be mad at them, not Zap2it. And not to be mean, but why go into a big spiel about his name? This article doesn't mention anything offensive concerning that, actually it doesn't even mention it at all. Sorry I just don't get you post or your anger.
To blkcat_x_lady: thanks for the lesson on the backround behind Tupac's name (yawn) but that's irrelevant to the article. And just because you like the history behind his name or the fact that some schools give some cl*** on him doesn't change the fact that's he's dead... he was a gangsta rapper who glorified and promoted violence, gang life, and misogyny... and while talented as far as acting and poetry are concerned, he was nonetheless a man of many flaws who never quite used these talents to his full potential. You can take the man out of the ghetto but unfortunately, in his case, you couldn't take the ghetto out of the man.
tupac seemed to be a very confused young man. i don't think he glorified violence. for starters, that's what sells, secondly he was just telling storeis of his experiences, and the experiences of people he knew. He was still a very intelligent young man, and his talent was ahead of his time. so much so in fact, that it has all of us looking at pics asking if he's alive or not.
It is interesting to see how ignorant (not knowing) your comments make you seem. While all make good points, ms x only schooled you fools on the shakur history. It was as relevant as rihanna and chris brown, or Elizabeth Snead pointing out the fact of a lot of bald black guys with earings. It is sad that you will study the music of an artist, but will turn your nose up at their background. Respect your elders, and try not to look so stupid next time! Thank you.
Oh, and David blank, pac was not "hood", until 18. He gathered together peace rallies, performed in the performing arts, and also ballet. When he turned 18, he started to become street, then he acted in juice, in which life imitated art, in his case. So no, you can't take the hood out of someone who wasn't hood to start. Good day!
black people couldnt say his name right either you racist
tupac shakur means shining serpent huh? It just goes further to show that rap music is the devils music. It embodies eveything the devil stands for, sex, death, drugs, hate, jealousy, bigotry, pride, and hey look Tupac was the devils tool! His shining serpent! Thanks for the history lesson it just gave me further proof that rap is evil music. Oh and by the way i am black and I live in the "Ghetto" the imaginary place you guys create when you dont care to upkeep the land.
