: There is a new mixtape called BOSS STATUS from a rapper named ASAAD. The cover is EXTREMELY disrespectful to BIGGIE and TUPAC. Listen to what the artist has to say about it:
Since the release of the artwork for my single, “Boss Status,” from my upcoming debut EP entitled, 006, there has been backlash going around. So, I want to take this opportunity to explain, in my own words, the picture depicting two artists, whom I consider to be legends and arguably the greatest to ever bless the mic, engaging in homosexual activity.ALLLL-RIGHTY THEN!!!We are now in the day and age where this is no longer considered a taboo. But that is not the main reason why I choose this picture. Throughout the inception of the music business, artists have been continuously cheated out of their royalties and bound by erroneous contracts that essentially ‘screw’ artists over. For the record, I did not intend to release this cover to disrespect the memory or the families of Mr. Tupac Shakur and Mr. Christopher Wallace.
They have become iconic, speaking for those like myself, giving the ghetto and less privileged a voice as they spoke about so many different things that affect our culture. Shakur & Wallace started out as comrades, then the industry turned them into human guinea pigs. They were embattled in a music war which ultimately led to their untimely death. In no way am I looking for publicity from this cover. My music speaks for itself.
People have the option to look, or not to. Journalists and bloggers will have the option to post this on their website if they choose to do so. Again, we don’t ask that you do, but no longer shall the industry control our destiny and turn our people against one another.
We have a BIGGER mission in life to speak for those who don’t have a voice and create outlets where we can all be heard.
What a *** idiot! It doesn't matter what he says, the picture is disrespectful not only to their families, but to BIG and Pac also. Why couldn't he just put two men that aren't alive or dead on the front of that album cover? This is a huge publicity stunt. This fâggot will never be accepted into Hip-Hop.
I dont care what he says. That picture looks EXACTLY like anyone would think. It is very disrespectful. There is no "meaning" behind it. And I see he tried to make an "educated response" & its still not proving anything. If Tupac and Biggie are such great legends, why the eff are you disrespecting both them and their families? Just by him doing this, he might end up sharing the same fate.
Listen up!!!! Yes I agree the media to SOME extent heightened the beef between Tupac and Biggie but LETS NOT FORGET! Tupac had a REAL AND VERY SERIOUS beef with Big that stemmed a 1995 *** where he was ALMOST killed and felt like he was set-up he also believed Biggie knew and didnt warn him. NOW THATS NOT A MUSIC BEEF...ITS A VERY SERIOUS PERSONAL BEEF!! so Tupac did what he knew best and spoke his mid thru music....the MEDIA DID NOT KILL THEM ....
The cover has shock value but it really wasnt necessary ---there are other ways to convey the issue in the music biz
ASSAD IM ASSUMING THAT YOUR NAME MEANS LUV GETTING *** IN DA ***! YOU SOUND STUPID AZZ HELL,BRUH IMA PRAY FOR YOUR AZZ,CAUSE IF YOU RUN INTO DIDDY OR BIGGIE'S MOM,THATS GONE BE YOUR AZZ YOU *** AZZ ***! AND PLEASE DUCK IF U RUN INTO TREACH,CAUSE DAT WAS PAC'S TRUE FRIEND! YOUR AZZ IS GOING TO BE OVER B 4 U EVER STARTED,***!
"We are no longer in a day where this is considered a taboo" Seriously? It may no longer be a taboo, boo boo, but it is considered an abomination by the "All Mighty", don't get it twisted. You can say all you want, but the music industry is showing signs of struggle and I would bet that you trying to disgrace the name of Tupac and Biggie won't help you one bit in your endeavors. You are not an artist but more of an idiot in my opinion your desperate need to get attention is creating the exact opposite of what you want.
F*ck.
This was just an excuse for this *** to revel in his ***. That *** is disgusting and disrespectful to two of the greatest musicians/MCs of our time. Both Pac and Biggy would have slapped this *** for even using this fruit *** in any connotation involving them - directly or indirectly.
But that's what happens when the *** mafia run the entertainment industry, and traditional morals have sunk to an all time low. JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!!!
Ok...*scratching head*.....And yet...after having said all that in his post? "Asaad" chose to use the most horrendous and disrespectful pic to "get his message across?"... He couldn't just SAY how he felt about the "music industry", as it relates to Pac and Big?...... FOH guy..... this pic is beyond disrespectful and in no way "excusable", flat out! .....AND - the fact that he is chosing to use such a pic will leave his "message" LOST upon the masses with the rest of this bullsh*t out here... Then again, hell - u never know.....smh...His sh*t might go platinum... #icant
Tweet-tweetz @MzValerie_
Of course a new comer would hate especially one that is not well known. I mean seriously get real tupac and biggie were the two greatest rappers there was. If this new clown really knew music he would have fully respected them. Like let them rest their not here to defend their image, so I guess this character wanted to flex and feel gangsta lol no need to bluff I know a scary *** from a image......
