Tupac Shakur left an indelible impression on the minds of anyone who listened to his music or saw him in a film. After years of waiting, a story about his life will finally be brought to the big screen.

Morgan Creek Productions and Emmett Furla Films announced today that they are in final negotiations on the biopic titled TUPAC.

Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, will executive produce the movie. It will be produced by George Furla, Randall Emmett, LT Hutton, James G. Robinson and David Robinson..

Tupac's music will be used in the film.

TUPAC centers on the life of the charismatic yet controversial artist.  Rapper, poet, actor and political activist, TUPAC shot to fame with 2Pacalypse Now, lauded for its seminal underground vibe and still an inspiration for major artists today.  Tupac’s politically charged lyrics, inspired by his parents’ activism as Black Panthers in the 60s & early 70s, condemned governmental intrusion in black communities.  Tupac’s increased participation in the East Coast-West Coast Rap rivalry became well documented and avidly followed by his fans. On September 7, 1996 he was gunned down on a street corner in Las Vegas, where he died 6 days later.  His murder was never solved.

The film is slated to have a $45 million budget. Production will begin in Atlanta in early 2014.

Damon Dash seemed to have the world in the palm of his hands at one point. As one of the founders of Roc-A-Fella Records, along with Jay Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, Dash was filthy rich but also brash and arrogant in some people's opinion.

Fast forward nearly a decade. Jay Z is flourishing while Burke is doing time in prison for his involvement in a drug operation and Dash is reportedly in deep financial trouble.

Super producer Just Blaze knows all three of the former partners well. He spoke recently on what he feels brought Dame crashing down.

"My take on Dame has always been he's a great guy, with a good heart, whose mouth just got in the way too much," Blaze told Vlad TV. "And that just comes from my own personal dealings with him. There were times when Dame was great to me. And then there were times when he was an absolute jerk. And I think that it's a thing where sometimes you rub enough people the wrong way you lose out on certain opportunities."

Brand Nubian emcee Lord Jamar says he has separated rap and hip hop into two different categories. He considers rap to be for the rich and gay friendly, while hip hop speaks for those still in the struggle.

He also feels like whites are only guests in the culture. While acknowledging  Macklemore's talent, Jamar singles the Seattle rapper out for pushing the gay agenda with songs like "Same Love" when he shouldn't be.

"White rappers you're coming to this almost as a guest. As a matter of fact you are guests in the house of hip hop," Jamar told Vlad TV. "Just because you have a hit record doesn't give you the right as I feel to voice your opinion. You know this is a black man's thing. We started this. This is our sh*t. We've allowed you to come in and kick your sh*t, make yourself known and if you have enough respect for the culture, we f*ck with you. But don't push it too far. See making a song like [Same Love], feeling like you have the same footing as any other hip hop artist, and to me you don't. To me when people like Macklemore come out with songs like that. I know he loves hip hop and all that, but he's trying to push an agenda that him as a white man feels is acceptable."

What do you think of Lord Jamar's comments?

Pusha T's highly anticipated album My Name Is My Name drops on October 8th. The Virginia emcee sat down recently with Noisey for episode one of their "A Name I Call Myself" series to get his explanation on the project's title.

"'My Name Is My Name' is just telling you by now you should know Pusha T. You're not getting anything else from me. I've been maybe one of the most consistent in subject matter," he said.

Noisey also spoke with Tristan Mack Wilds, Anwan "Slim" Glover and Tony Lewis Jr. about the importance of a name and to get their take on the title of Pusha's album.
