TUPACNATION EXCLUSIVE, YO!

TUPAC NATION EXCLUSIVE Hey Gang- its RJ Bond here with more RUMOR CONTROL . Keeping it real for my bitches and homies I had a chance to run to the Courthouse and take a look at the Shakur v. E1 lawsuit docs. 1. The suit was filed 9/25/2013. 2. This has nothing to do- Nothing at all to do- with The Lost Tapes project. I dont know who pulled that out of their collective asses, but the suit says nothing about the project by name or even eludes to ANYTHING having to do with Pre Death Row Material 3. The suit is very small (6 claims and 11 pages long). 4. The suit says that in March of 2013 Shakur filed Shakur v. Wide Awake in Fed Court (Case CV 13-02280, More on that later.) This suit was filed to correct jurisdictional issues with the court. 5. The federal Suit will be dropped as a result of this suit, so the two are about the same matter. 6. The suit claims that in July of 2013, E1 (Formerly Koch) bought Death Row Assets including Death Row Records recordings. 7. The suit claims that Afeni hasnt been paid by ANYONE since a statement in April of 2009 she got that said she was owed $131,236.88 from Death Row Era Tupac recordings, with an additional reserve (what a distributor holds back from initial sales and then later releases) of $221,599.17. 8. The suit claims that the Death Row Bankruptcy Trustee Paid Afeni $100,000 for the Option Album but in typical Death Row Contract mumble jumble, it entitled Death Row to One Albums worth of Tupac Songs without specifying how many (8? 13?) tracks that meant. 9. The suit claims that E1 has way more than an albums worth of unreleased Tupac stuff, but as Ive been alluding to (and we go into this WAY Deep in my new book, The Big Lie) Afeni has been chasing Tupac masters since Tupac died and before that Tupac was chasing his own masters. They have had a half dozen lawsuits against DRR to try to get them and still DRR has a bunch of them. Trouble is Afeni doesnt know for sure what tracks they have and they are not going to simply assume any tracks are on the infamous Death Row Track List because all DRR would do is say well, you can have those and what she doesnt know wont hurt her. She is just being safe and saying, whatever Tupac worked on, I want it but it implies only DRR era material (what DRR claimed rights to). 10. The suit takes the position that E1 is just holding on to a bunch so that they can choose and as long as they have not chosen then they just hold all of them. 11. Afeni is asking the Court a. to specify how many tracks is an album worth b. pay her the royalties she has not been paid but is owed she knew of (335K) c. pay her what royalties have been earned since 2009 (??) d. make E1 give her the masters on what tracks E1 does not use when the number of tracks is determined. Thats it fans. This is nothing more than ROUND 7 between. DR and the Estate. If they owe her moneyshes should get paid. It makes me SICK to think that companies sit on MILLIONS of dollars and dont pay artists what they need to. Afeni has to sue to get these people to DO THE RIGHT THING.
