TUPAC – A Rare Video You Probably Never Saw. #PacsBirthday via @lisafordblog

The Tupac biopic, “All Eyez On Me”, directed by Benny Boom, dropped today to commensurate the legacy the iconic rapper. The filma also served as birthday gift to his fans as Pac’s birthday is today, June 16th (Pac would have been 46 years old). I’m a die-hard fan and I’m personally nervous about watching the film because I hold a very nostalgic view of Pac that I don’t want ruined (even though I don’t think that’s possible).

In previous blog posts, I did publish the trailer video, so I won’t go that route today. Instead I’m posting something light-hearted, a little insight on Pac’s humorous personality, that I thought you would enjoy.

Rest in Paradise Pac.

EMINEM Makes the Oxford Dictionary via @lisafordblog.com

The culture of Hip Hop continues to transform the modern world including our present-day language and the way that we speak day to day. Case in point…EMINEM’S song and term “Stan” has been added to the Oxford Dictionary. “Stan”, the hit record from Em’s “Marshall Mathers” LP released in 2000 is about “a crazed fan who became so irate that Eminem didn’t return his letters that he killed his pregnant girlfriend, drove off a bridge, and drowned. The term “Stan” has since been used in much less-than-gory contexts to describe one’s liking and admiration for pretty much anything.”
