Podcasts about Tupac Shakur

What if you could make music with anything around you? Fruit, water, human skin, or even the weight of objects on a kitchen scale? That's the question Playtronica has been answering for over a decade   This week on the podcast, Adam McHeffey sits down with co-founders Sasha Pas and Aglaya Nosova to explore how they built one of the most creative and community-driven companies in music technology today.   Playtronica makes accessible music instruments that turn everyday objects into musical interfaces, no music theory required. Their products, including Touchme, Biotron, Orbita, and their newest release Scales, have gone viral across social media for their playful, tactile approach to music making. But behind the viral moments is a deeply intentional philosophy: remove the barrier of "are you a musician?" and let curiosity do the rest.   In this conversation, we get into how Playtronica grew a loyal global community through creator partnerships and influencer strategy, what their installations with luxury brands like Hermès taught them about creativity and access, and why the form factor of an instrument matters far less than the feeling it creates. Sasha and Aglaya also share practical advice for music tech entrepreneurs looking to break through on social media and build communities that last.   The news Merck Mercuariadis on Hipgnosis, vindication, and his next move.

Es ist das größte Geheimnis der Musik-Industrie. Seit 30 Jahren. Jetzt wird der Fall neu aufgerollt. Der 7. September 1996. Die Schüsse auf Tupac Shakur. Eine rote Ampel in Las Vegas. 4 Kugeln treffen ihn. Die HipHop Legende stirbt. Am 9. März 1997: Das gleiche Szenario. Vier Kugeln. Diesmal in Los Angeles. Auf Notorious B.I.G. Kein Arzt kann ihn mehr retten. West Coast gegen East Coast. Die Zeit, als HipHop Culture endgültig Gangster wird. Die Frage, die seit dem alle beschäftigt: Was hat P. Diddy damit zu tun? Gab er heimlich die Mord-Befehle? DJ Tomekk hat miterlebt, wie HipHop Geschichte geschrieben hat. Er ist der Deutsche OG. Die Liste an Stars, mit denen er gearbeitet hat, ist das Who-is-Who der Branche: Ob Dr. Dre. Run-D.M.C. Wu-Tang-Clan, oder Jay-Z. Und sogar P. Diddy. Er kennt Diddy noch, als er Background-Dancer bei einer seiner Bühnenshows war. DJ Tomekk. Als sein Vater starb, war er 15. Im Kinderheim lernt er Sido kennen. Und dann Kurtis Blow. Der Pionier des Rap. Er nimmt ihn mit nach Amerika. Tomekk gewinnt Awards – der erste weiße HipHopper in den USA, noch vor Eminem. Jetzt in TOMorrow und als TOMorrow Video-Podcast bei YouTube. Live aus dem The Flag Hotel in München. Was denkst du: Schreib mir in die Kommentare. Werden die Morde jemals aufgeklärt? Und Gangster natürlich, wenn du TOMorrow abonnierst. Das kostet dich nichts, bringt dir aber den richtigen Beat für dein Leben und deine Karriere.

In May your "How We Heard It" hosts served an episode of songs about moms in honor of Mother's Day, so it's only fitting that for June they turn out an episode of songs about uncles. Kidding! Of course Father's Day brings about an episode of songs about dads - all kinds of dads. From supportive dads to deadbeat dads, from the doting fathers to the cold fathers and maybe a hot daddy here and there for those so inclined. For better or worse, our fathers often play an important role in who we become, even if they were no part of our lives at all, and performers from Bruce Springsteen to Tupac Shakur have had quite a bit to say (or sing or rap) about their own fathers. Meanwhile, other men have gone above and beyond to inspire, protect and provide for their children, fully embracing the part of "role model," and they get their props in songs, too. Then are all of those numerous tributes to departed dads, and they include some of the most touching songs in all of music. Following the lead of last month's episode about moms, this episode of "How We Heard It" also finds the hosts talking about what kind of fathers some of the biggest stars proved to be to their performer children (and if you didn't already know about John Lennon, prepare to be disappointed in him). And in a more whimsical turn, the show also features a little conjecture about what kind of fathers some of today's younger male stars might prove to be, and one host even offers a potential pair of "dream parents" of two of today's biggest stars. No matter what kind of father you had, or even what kind of father you are, someone has written a song that fits you better than a new tie.

Nearly thirty years after the killing of Tupac Shakur, Duane Davis is set to face murder charges in a Nevada court. Additionally, Davis has been named in a civil complaint filed by Tupac's step brother Mopreme Shakur. If Davis was contracted to kill Tupac Shakur, why is he the only guy facing trial?  Follow Pop Mystery Pod on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok @popmysterypod  Pop Mystery Pod is written and produced by Tess Barker @tesstifybarker.

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant tackles a difficult but necessary conversation about what some have called "Black Fatigue," the frustration and exhaustion that comes from repeatedly seeing destructive behaviors that hurt the Black community and reinforce negative stereotypes. Alex says he wishes we could have a players-only meeting and deal honestly with some of the issues holding black people back. Using clips from a variety of Black voices, leaders, commentators, and cultural influencers, he highlights those who have been sounding the alarm for years. But this episode isn't just about identifying problems. It's about finding solutions. Drawing from the words of Tupac Shakur, Alex argues that real change begins when we change the way we think, the way we live, and the way we treat each other. This is a candid conversation about responsibility, culture, and the path forward. #TWWSI, #BlackFatigue, #BlackCulture, #CommunityLeadership, #PersonalResponsibility, #CultureChange, #Tupac, #FaithAndCulture, #RealTalk, #PastorAlexBryant, #TheWayWeSeeIt, #LeadershipMatters, #ChangeStartsWithUs, #StrongerTogether #Tupac Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

More To The Story: It's impossible to overstate rapper Tupac Shakur's influence on music and culture in the 1990s. One of the era's bestselling musical artists, Tupac helped define West Coast hip-hop through vulnerable, introspective lyrics and Black power politics. By his own admission, sports writer Jeff Pearlman is not the rapper's likeliest biographer. But as he waited for what he called “the big, fat biography” of Tupac, his impatience and long-standing fascination with the rapper got the best of him. So he set out to write it himself. On this week's episode, Pearlman talks about his book Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur; discusses how Tupac's Black Panther mother, Afeni Shakur, shaped her son; and examines the nuance and mystery surrounding Tupac's life and death almost 30 years later.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Intern: Joni Binder | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: The 24 Best Books We Read in 2025 (Mother Jones)Listen: Baltimore Mayor to Trump: Don't Send Your Troops (More To The Story)Read: Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur (Mariner Books)Note: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.

Send us Fan MailDrake's ICEMAN arrives with major pressure. After the Kendrick Lamar fallout and the industry debate over whether Drake can help reset commercial rap, Toronto is watching closely.This video connects two sides of Toronto's industry story: J-Soul's real Birdman/Cash Money connection, and the red flag side where another Toronto artist says people used the Cash Money name while asking for money. With “National Treasure” having no Pressa feature, WWETV asks whether Toronto artists are getting real backing — or just exposure.WWETV Media showed one side of the story with J-Soul, Birdman, Weston Road, and Cash Money — the hopeful version of the industry looking at Toronto after Drake made the city global.This companion piece looks at the other side: Toronto artists, exposure, red flags, unclear backing, and the lack of infrastructure that has shaped the city's music industry for years.Using WWETV archive footage from Brooklyn Tea Talk and Keelo Da Bill, we explore how real Cash Money connections existed in Toronto while others allegedly used major-label names to approach artists with questionable opportunities.We also connect this to the current Toronto conversation around Drake's ICEMAN, “National Treasure,” Pressa rumors, We Love Hip Hop's discussion about Toronto needing bigger platforms, and the question of what happens to the city's rap scene if Drake ever steps back.When Drake puts Toronto on the world stage, who gets brought through — and who is only being seen without being backed?#Drake #ICEMAN #NationalTreasure #TorontoHipHop #WWETVWorldWide Entertainment TV Network is WWETV's fast-moving channel for hip-hop news, entertainment updates, cultural debates, tribute Shorts, and Lisa Reports.From New York hip-hop legacy and rap debates to breaking entertainment stories, celebrity news, Michael Jackson updates, Drake coverage, DMX, Tupac Shakur, and current culture, WWETV Network reacts quickly while keeping the bigger cultural meaning in focus.Expect Shorts, reactions, legacy tributes, artist updates, community debates, and news-driven commentary from the WorldWide Entertainment TV ecosystem.Fast enough to join the conversation.

That children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.” The Journal of Research on Adolescence confirms that even after controlling for varying levels of household income, kids in father-absent homes are more likely to end up in jail. And kids who never had a father in the house are the most likely to wind up behind bars. In 1960, 5 percent of America's children entered the world without a mother and father married to each other. By 1980 it was 18 percent, by 2000 it had risen to 33 percent, and fifteen years later, the number reached 41 percent. For blacks, even during slavery when marriage for slaves was illegal, black children were more likely than today to be raised by both their mother and father. Economist Walter Williams has written that, according to census data, from 1890 to 1940, a black child was more likely to grow up with married parents than a white child. For blacks, out-of-wedlock births have gone from 25 percent in 1965 to 73 percent in 2015. For whites, from less than 5 percent to over 25 percent. And for Hispanics, out-of-wedlock births have risen to 53 percent. What happened to fathers? The answer is found in a basic law of economics: If you subsidize undesirable behavior you will get more undesirable behavior. In 1949, the nation's poverty rate was 34 percent. By 1965, it was cut in half, to 17 percent -- all before President Lyndon Johnson's so-called War on Poverty. But after that war began in 1965, poverty began to flat line. From 1965 until now, the government has spent over $20 trillion to fight poverty. The poverty rate has remained unchanged, but the relationship between poor men and women has changed – dramatically. That's because our generous welfare system allows women, in effect, to marry the government. And this makes it all too easy for men to abandon their traditional moral and financial responsibilities. Psychologists call such dependency "learned helplessness." How do we know that the welfare state creates disincentives that hurt the very people we are trying to help? They tell us. In 1985, the Los Angeles Times asked both the poor and the non-poor whether poor women "often" have children to get additional benefits. Most of the non-poor respondents said no. However, 64 percent of poor respondents said yes. Now, who do you think is in a better position to know? Tupac Shakur, the late rapper, once said: "I know for a fact that had I had a father, I'd have some discipline. I'd have more confidence." He admitted he began running with gangs because he wanted the things a father gives to a child, especially to a boy: structure and protection. “Your mother cannot calm you down the way a man can,” Shakur said. “You need a man to teach you how to be a man."   Are Fathers Necessary? | 5 Minute Videos | PragerU https://youtu.be/daS69gf0Tzc?si=UJ0grFAG2chSNjuM PragerU 3.45M subscribers 3,752,405 views Premiered Jun 7, 2021 5-Minute Videos Until recently, the need to explain why fathers are necessary would have been regarded as, well, unnecessary.

The family of Tupac Shakur just made the most aggressive legal move in the nearly thirty-year history of this case. Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court that names Keffe D as the primary defendant and designates up to one hundred additional unnamed individuals as co-conspirators. The filing argues that Tupac's 1996 killing was not a spontaneous act of retaliation — it was a coordinated conspiracy involving people who have never faced a single question under oath.This is the second wrongful death lawsuit connected to Tupac's case, but it bears almost no resemblance to the first. Afeni Shakur's 1997 suit targeted Orlando Anderson alone. That case died when Anderson was killed in 1998. The new lawsuit is built on an entirely different evidentiary foundation — grand jury transcripts that emerged from Keffe D's criminal proceedings and allegations aired in the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The complaint describes alleged pre-shooting meetings, financial incentives, and a network of individuals who the family believes helped set the killing in motion.Keffe D has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and awaits trial in August 2026. He once described the shooting in detail in a published memoir and in recorded interviews, but now claims innocence and says he regrets ever speaking publicly about the case. The prosecution is building its case largely on his own statements. The civil suit adds another layer entirely — because in civil court, the Shakur family can compel testimony from individuals who were never charged and access records the criminal case may never touch.With Afeni and Mutulu Shakur both gone, Mopreme is the last member of the immediate family actively pursuing legal accountability. He filed with Quinn Emanuel at his side — and a clear message that the family is not finished.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forget what you think you know about the Tupac Shakur case. The narrative just shifted. Mopreme Shakur has filed a wrongful death lawsuit that treats the 1996 Las Vegas shooting not as a solved crime with a single suspect — but as a conspiracy with participants who have never been identified, never been questioned under oath, and never been held accountable.The lawsuit targets Keffe D, who faces a first-degree murder trial in August 2026 after being indicted by a Clark County grand jury for allegedly orchestrating the drive-by that took Tupac's life. But the real weight of this filing is in the one hundred unnamed John Doe defendants. Under civil litigation rules, those designations give the Shakur family access to discovery tools the criminal case does not provide — depositions, document subpoenas, financial records. The kind of evidence that follows money and communication trails, not just ballistic reports.The complaint cites two sources of new evidence: grand jury transcripts from Keffe D's criminal proceedings and the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which aired proffer session recordings and alleged details about pre-shooting meetings, financial promises, and a coordination network that — according to the family's attorneys — suggests the conspiracy extended well beyond the men in the car. Quinn Emanuel, one of the most recognized trial firms in the nation, is representing the family. That is a strategic statement on its own.This case also carries an emotional urgency the legal filings cannot fully capture. Afeni Shakur — Tupac's mother — is gone. Mutulu Shakur — his stepfather — is gone. The alleged triggerman has been dead since 1998. Mopreme is fighting a clock as much as he is fighting a legal battle, and he is doing it with every tool the civil court system can provide.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tupac Shakur Death Conspiracy: Stepbrother Files Jaw-Dropping Lawsuit Claiming Several Individuals Were Involved in Rapper's Tragic MurderAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mopreme Shakur, acting as administrator of the estate of Mutulu Shakur, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on April 28, 2026, naming Duane "Keffe D" Davis and John Does 1 through 100 as defendants in connection with the September 7, 1996, murder of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The complaint alleges a conspiracy to murder Tupac that extended beyond the individuals present in the white Cadillac from which the fatal shots were fired near the MGM Grand. Davis — an alleged member of the South Side Compton Crips — is the only individual ever criminally charged in the case. He was indicted by a Clark County grand jury on September 29, 2023, for first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon with intent to promote a criminal street gang. He has pled not guilty. His criminal trial is scheduled for August 10, 2026. The civil complaint specifically cites grand jury transcripts and the Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" as sources of evidence supporting the broader conspiracy theory. Sean Combs is not named as a defendant, though the John Doe designations leave open the possibility of amended filings as discovery proceeds. The family's 1997 wrongful death suit, filed by Afeni Shakur against alleged triggerman Orlando Anderson, was dismissed following Anderson's death. The current filing argues new evidence makes the case legally distinct. Mutulu Shakur died in 2023. Afeni Shakur died in 2016. Eric Faddis provides analysis of the lawsuit's legal architecture, the interplay between the civil and criminal proceedings, and the practical implications of civil discovery for individuals connected to a case that has remained partially unresolved for nearly three decades.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases. Three families. None of them have the answers they were promised. Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students and is serving life without parole — but his own defense expert is now publicly alleging the key physical evidence had serious chain of custody problems, and a new book by a former FBI agent reveals untested crime scene evidence that wasn't Kohberger's. The plea buried everything. Nick Reiner sits in a Los Angeles jail facing two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility for the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. The autopsy reports still aren't finished. The preliminary hearing just got pushed to September. His public defender hasn't tipped her hand on whether a mental health defense is coming. And the family is enduring every delay in a case where the accused is their own blood. Tupac Shakur's family just filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Keffe D and one hundred unnamed co-conspirators — nearly three decades after the rapper was gunned down in Las Vegas. The lawsuit is designed to force testimony from people who have never faced a subpoena. Keffe D's criminal trial is set for August. The witnesses are vanishing. And the family has already lost nearly everyone. Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins Hidden Killers to break down all three cases in one extended conversation covering the evidence, the legal strategies, the failures, and the families still fighting for something the system keeps deferring.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins Hidden Killers for an extended session covering three major cases demanding attention. In the Kohberger case, defense-retained forensic scientist Brent Turvey is publicly alleging chain of custody deficiencies with the knife sheath — the sole piece of physical evidence carrying Kohberger's DNA — that he says could have been challenged at trial. A new book by former FBI agent Christopher Whitcomb surfaces untested crime scene evidence the FBI lab confirmed wasn't Kohberger's. The defense team has responded by attacking Turvey for speaking while simultaneously preparing a paid conference presentation about the case. Kohberger pled guilty on July 2, 2025, to four counts of first-degree murder and waived all appeal rights. None of the evidence questions can be relitigated. In the Reiner case, Nick Reiner's preliminary hearing was pushed to September 15 after the court confirmed autopsy reports on Rob and Michele Reiner remain incomplete over four months after their deaths. Nick faces two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility. His public defender Kimberly Greene has entered a not guilty plea but has not addressed whether a mental health defense is forthcoming despite Nick's documented history of schizoaffective disorder and a prior conservatorship. And in the Tupac Shakur case, Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Keffe D and John Does 1 through 100, alleging a conspiracy that goes beyond the individuals in the white Cadillac. The lawsuit is built around civil discovery — the power to compel testimony and documents from individuals who have never been subpoenaed. Keffe D's criminal trial is set for August 10, 2026. The complaint cites grand jury transcripts and the Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning." Faddis analyzes the legal implications, the strategic decisions, and the family impact across all three cases.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of the estate of Mutulu Shakur, naming Keffe D and up to one hundred unnamed John Doe co-conspirators in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. The complaint alleges a conspiracy that extends far beyond the occupants of the white Cadillac that pulled alongside Tupac's car near the Las Vegas Strip on September 7, 1996. Keffe D — the only person ever criminally charged in connection with the murder — has spent years putting himself at the scene in interviews, a published memoir, and recorded proffer sessions with law enforcement. He now claims he fabricated those accounts and maintains his innocence. His criminal trial is set for August 10, 2026. The civil suit operates on a separate track with a lower burden of proof, and its real power lies in discovery — the ability to subpoena testimony and documents from individuals who have never been compelled to provide either. The lawsuit specifically references grand jury transcripts and the Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" as sources of evidence pointing to a wider conspiracy, though Sean Combs is not named as a defendant. The John Doe designations leave that door open. The family's previous wrongful death suit, filed by Afeni Shakur against alleged triggerman Orlando Anderson in 1997, was dismissed after Anderson's death. The family now argues that the new evidence makes this a fundamentally different case. Eric Faddis analyzes the legal architecture of the suit, the credibility problems created by Keffe D's shifting accounts, and the legal exposure civil discovery creates for anyone whose name has circled this case for decades without ever facing a courtroom.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tupac Shakur was murdered on September 7, 1996. Almost thirty years later, his family is still fighting for accountability — and the legal weapon they just deployed could be the most powerful move anyone has made in this case. Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Keffe D and one hundred unnamed co-conspirators, built not just to recover damages but to use civil discovery to force answers out of people who have spent decades avoiding them. Keffe D's criminal trial is set for August 10, 2026. He has pled not guilty. But the civil case runs simultaneously with different rules — a lower burden of proof, broader discovery powers, and the ability to compel testimony from witnesses the criminal prosecution may never call. Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor who has navigated cases where criminal and civil proceedings run parallel — joins Hidden Killers Live to break down how the two cases interact, the legal exposure created for anyone named or identifiable through discovery, and the extraordinary credibility problem created by Keffe D's shifting narrative over thirty years. Faddis also addresses the emotional weight of a family that has buried Afeni, buried Mutulu, and lost the alleged triggerman — and is still standing in front of a judge demanding the system do its job.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
