developed lots of respect for Tupac"
"Thug Luv" was

Dogg's marriage, he was having doubts about marrying his wife to be since he
could basically get any woman he wanted. It was Snoop, Pac, Suge and a few
other guys and Snoop told them of his doubts and they told Snoop not to get
married and that she was just a bitch like all the other ones. Pac came in
and told Snoop the importance of what he had between him and his wife, that
she wasn't just another hoe, and that he shouldn't listen to those other
guys who were just low thugs that didn't have shit. Snoop took Pac's advice
to heart, and is very glad he married his wife.

dedication to Tupac and Kevin Miller (Master P's murdered brother) called

when Pac was shot they had two unfinished songz left. Both songz were
supposed to contain two verses from both Tupac and Mussolini (a.k.a. Big
Syke), but on both songz Pac only got one verse in, so Mussolini had to fill
in an extra verse. Mussolini said that Pac left behind a rap notebook full
of lyrics. Two songs from that notebook were used on the "Thug Life

was gunned down in his place. His shocking new mission: To rid the world of
violence."
Somebody said that Tupac
was wearing new Penny Hardaway shoes in the "Toss It Up" video and
