...Meanwhile, the New York Theatre Workshop--whose past hits include Rent--has just unveiled a play about him that could spark even more interest. Up Against the Wind dramatizes the turbulent final years of Shakur's life--his increasingly sharp verbal skills, his growing attraction to gangsta rap and his fateful signing with Death Row Records. Shakur is turning up in bookstores too: a collection of his poems--The Rose That Grew from Concrete--published last year by Simon & Schuster, drew enthusiastic reader reviews. And it won't be long before a Shakur bio plays on the screen...
...beat-up Volkswagen beetle on their way to Mama Slocumb’s (Whoopi Goldberg) house when they run out of gas. While waiting for Ray Bud to rescue them, they begin to listen to music. In accordance with his gangsta get-up, Royce tunes the radio to a rap radio station. Baffled, his mother changes the station to gospel music with the hand that is not clutching her unabridged Bible. Soon, the two are vying for control of the knob, until Aunt Marguerite accidentally pulls the knob out of the radio after successfully changing the station and shouts...

But it is their 20th anniversary, and maybe their time has come and gone. Crown Royal proves their ability to make good music, but it still lacks the one thing that made them so popular: their original sound...
...bashing into people's cars, robbing men at ATMs and shooting policemen with water guns, before deliberately crashing into a pole to kill herself. Not only is MTV running scared, but they are coming across as incredibly unjust. After all, it is a strange double standard when Eminem can rap about decapitating his wife or stabbing someone in the head if they are a "fag or a lez," no? MTV's cowardly ban on the video proves Madonna's point: The batterer gets to vent, but a girl who fights back will not only be categorically silenced, but also completely...
