Saturday March 28th saw Jay Z learn that news of his supposed purchase of unreleased Tupac music had hit the net.
Today, the rapper has used Billboard to shed light on the exciting report.
Is it fact or is it fiction?
Find out below…
The reports claimed Jay had put plans in place to pick up unreleased songs from the late rapper from Entertainment One.
Their alleged price? $384 million.
Unfortunately, the rumours aren’t true, denied by Mr. TIDAL via Billboard. They report:
The false rumors began surfacing on social media Saturday (March 28) that Jay Z had purchased Shakur’s unreleased work from Entertainment One. Some reportsalso noted that a new album from the late rapper — titled And Now I Rise — would be released in 2016, with features by Snoop Dogg, Drake, Nas, The-Dream,DMX, Beyonce and Jay Z.
A representative for Roc Nation denies that any such acquisition has taken place.
As previously reported, however, there is new music and more on the way from Shakur, according to JAM Inc.’s Jeff Jampol, who oversees the late rapper’s estate.
As the 20th anniversary of the Shakur’s September 1996 death approaches, elements in the works include new apparel rolling out later in 2015, collections like a recent Grammy Museum exhibit showcasing his writing, and a biography by a “very serious writer” whose deal is being finalized, Jampol recently told Billboard.
Top of the list is the rapper’s creative work — “Almost an embarrassment of riches,” Jampol says, listing “unreleased music, released music, remixes, original demos, writings, scripts, plans, video treatments, poems.”
“Some of [the material] is in bits and pieces, some of it is complete; some of it is good, some of it needs work,” says Loma Vista Records head Tom Whalley, who signed Shakur to Interscope in 1991 and has explored much of the archive. “But I think the work that is left can be completed, and is worth his fans hearing.”
If they aren’t true, why make this post? SMH. Ugh. Even that son of b***** called Trènt was better than David.
Because people who thought it was true might not know about the update.
1. David is much nicer and a much better writer than Trashytrent. 2. You commented didn’t you?
Your trash! I hope they block all of your devices.
“I STAN(D) IN LINE FOR HOMELESS SHELTERS”
I may drag David when he comes for Nicki, but he is an A class writer. I always know when he’s written a post without even looking at the author. His style is distinct and classy, especially when eh writes about Rihanna. Let me stop before David gets all in his feelings cuz I’m being so nice about him.
To bad that would have been a coup for him.
I can’t get over the way you gathered Molly’s edges in that roundtable lol didn’t know you were a mean dragging machine
Yes you better bring me up in a new post. Kii tits can stay bothered how can it be mad for me defending myself and out of nowhere it wants to attack like eww. Tits wanted attention and got it

@ F**
When the b**** gets a top five hit on the main chart (like my fave many times over) call me.
When she can push platinum and not aluminum call me.
It’s a scientific fact that transvestites can’t have babies, so blame mother nature, not me.
If you don’t want me to drag you or that dude HeHe you and your fellow dickksquat members, need to never come for my fave a full fledged woman..
Get it right s****!

LEAVE PACS MUSIC ALONE!!!!
I hate when artists do this, it’s getting money from what others has done, no matter how much they paid for it, every artist should own their catalog so that opportunistic people cannot take advantage of their work. If i was an artist i wouldn’t buy the catalog of other musicians, i think is very low, even if it is up for sale.
All he gon Do is sell it to Rhianna for remakes #noIntegrity
Well at least it would see a chart unlike if your fave recorded it..
