Several pictures from a sex tape made by late rapper Tupac Shakur were released yesterday. That might be as close as the public will get to ever seeing any parts of the footage. That's because 'Pac's mom, Afeni Shakur, is prepared to sue anyone who tries to release the video.
A spokesperson for Tupac's estate told TMZ "we will sue anyone who tries to sell a Tupac tape."
The estate is trying to figure out the identities of all the people in the video, including the female performing a sexual act on 'Pac.
Afeni is said to be prepared to fight the release of the tape tooth and nail.
"Get the legal team ready because [we] will not allow someone to put it out." Afeni reportedly said.

By now we've all heard that Dr. Dre's 'Detox' album is "almost done" enough times we're not quite sure what to believe. The disc will be Dre's last as an artist and is one of the most highly anticipated albums ever. The producer has a reputation for being a perfectionist, so maybe it shouldn't be surprising it's taken so long. The wait however, might finally be over.
In a new interview with NME Magazine, Snoop Dogg says the album is near completion.
"I ain't never said it was almost finished. He might, but that's my first time I ever said it. I was always saying it was taking too long to get done. It feels good now," Snoop told the publication via Contact Music. "We've been working on it. It's almost finished. So that's coming out soon. We got Slim [Eminem] on it."
Before you say 'here we go again,' remember it was Snoop who criticized Dre back in May on the Tim Westwood Show for not having the right people around him to finish the project.
“I’mma say this and I don’t know if it’s gonna ruffle any feathers. I just think the wrong people is in the environment. When he made records that were hit records in the past: D.O.C., Snoop Dogg, RBX, Kurupt,” Snoop said at the time. “It’s like it’s pieces that’s not there that need to be there. And I’ll say D.O.C. and Snoop Dogg is the backbone. When you take those two equations and you take them out of the equation it’s not gonna work. You need to put them two back into the situation and let us mastermind and head the project like we did The Chronic in 2001. That’s what’s missing.”
Now that The Doggfather is back on the same page with his mentor, 'Detox' looks like it's finally on the way.

Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke is getting tired of celebrities living in his city, but not giving back to the community.
The former 2 Live Crew front man wrote an article yesterday for the Miami New Times calling out Diddy, Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled. He's giving them until January 2012 to start helping in the community or risk having their Miami passes revoked.
I've got a message for Lil Wayne, his Cash Money Brothers, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all the rappers from other parts of the country who now live in Miami. I'm tired of seeing these cats using up our beaches, soaking up our sunshine, taking over the nightclubs, and sleeping with our women without investing anything into the community. I want to know when Lil Wayne is going to do more than show up courtside at the American Airlines Arena. Hell, it's not like he paid for them anyway. You know he got comped.
This free loading and mooching of my city has got to stop. There used to be a day when out of town rappers were scared to throw their weight around Miami. It didn't matter if they were coming from New York or Los Angeles, they knew better than to act like they owned this mother fucker.
Artists knew better than to come to Miami and disrespect us.But now folks in Miami's entertainment industry have gone soft, turning into a bunch of groupies just because they want to say they drank Rozay with the Cash Money crew.
Just cause Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled are from New Orleans doesn't mean they don't have to be a part of the community. They're getting rich under fun and sun. They rap in their songs about King of Diamonds and LIV nightclub, where Lil Wayne was partying it up with Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks after they beat the Miami Heat for the NBA championship.
What kind of sell-out move is that? I want to see Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all their boys start doing more for Miami. I want to see them doing fundraisers to help youth sports and after school programs. I want to see them at FCAT rallies. I want to see them do like Pitbull who works closely with the Kiwanis Club in Little Havana and DJ Irie who puts on a charity weekend for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
I'm giving them a deadline. They got until January 1. If I don't see them giving back to the Magic City, I'm gonna have their Miami cards revoked. They won't be getting into any more nightclubs. They won't be able to go near our women. And Lil Wayne is gonna have to find floor seats for New Orleans Hornets home games because he won't be allowed inside the Triple A.

Rihanna wants it known once and for all she isn't trying to be anyone's role model.
The "Umbrella" singer tells Vogue UK she sometimes feels pressured to be someone she's not.
"People – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead," she said. "The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and it became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it. That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with."
The singer also defended her frequent use of the word c*nt. Compararing it to African American's use of the word "n*gga."
"That word is so offensive to everyone in the world except for Bajans." she revealed. "You know African-Americans use the n-word to their brothers? Well, that’s the way we use the c-word. When I first came here, I was saying it like it was nothing, like, “Hey, cunt”, until my make-up artist finally had to tell me to stop. I just never knew."
Do you think artists like Rihanna have an obligation to be role models?

A music video shoot for a local New Orleans rapper ended with the arrests of eight people.
Danny Rogers aka Lil Dee God's Gift, and seven of his associates were filming a fake robbery at a local convenience store for a music video. The men decided to use real, unloaded guns to make the video look more authentic. A passerby saw what was going on and called 911, thinking it was an actual robbery.
Police soon arrived on the scene, arresting everyone involved.
Rogers, Raassan Holmes, 30, Frank Cheffen, 25, Terrell Hogan, 22, Chance Gomez, 23, Yonael Santana, 19, Timothy Kelly, 21, and Nidal Jamhour, 31, were charged with criminal mischief according to the Times Picayune.
Holmes, Cheffen and Hogan were also charged with illegal carrying of a concealed weapon.
"It was a plot in the story line for a positive message at the end which we didn't get a chance to finish to show our message," Lil Dee said.
Lil Dee “God’s Gift”
Sheriff Newell Normand said the whole thing was a bad idea that could have cost people their lives.
"This is not smart," he said. "Had they had the guns out and our officers come upon them the likelihood is we would have multiple people dead."
Lil Dee says he's learned his lesson the hard way.

As we previously reported, Diddy got into a heated confrontation at Compound in Atlanta over the weekend with a party goer who wasn't drinking Ciroc vodka.
T.I. was at the event and grabbed the mic to let Diddy and everyone else know if they were there for trouble he would be leaving.
Some have speculated the incident might have caused a problem between Diddy and Tip, but the Atlanta MC insists that's not the case.
"To be honest with you, it wasn't a point of me trying to check Diddy," T.I. told radio personality Mami Chula. "I was trying to diffuse the situation and keep it from becoming something that could've caused me a potential problem by even just being there. My circumstances are different from Diddy's or whoever Diddy was talking to so it was my responsibility at that point to step in and publicly separate myself," Tip explained. "Now, I had my opinion and my opinion I stated at the same time, I stated out of love for Diddy, not to try and check him or belittle or disrespect him. Me and him go too far back and I value our relationship too much to be grandstanding. That ain't how I get down, I was really just saying 'Come on man, let's get paid and never mind that, what's going on over there. Let's get back to what we're doing over here.' I think people automatically look for any little reason to try to start stuff when there is nothing there.
"Me and Puff, we spoke that night. We spoke the next day, we spoke today and we've been speaking on a regular basis like we have for years. I go to his house, he comes to mine," T.I. added. "My kids know his kids, we have a real personal relationship so I felt that I know and love him enough and have enough respect for him and have enough respect from him to be able to step in and diffuse the situation to keep it from getting to a place where I couldn't do anything. Because once it crosses a certain line, there ain't nothing to say. You just witnessed a brother moment between me and Puff and that was that."
