1988 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Tupac song selected for Vatican playlist (CNN) -- Music from late rapper Tupac Shakur has been included as part of the Vatican's official MySpace Music playlist. The seat of the Catholic Church released a list of 12 songs onto the social networking Web site's streaming music service this week when the site launched in the United Kingdom. Among selections from Mozart, Muse and Dame Shirley Bassey is the slain rapper's song "Changes," which was released two years after his shooting death on a greatest hits album in 1998. "The genres are very different from each other, but all these artists share the aim to reach the heart of good minded people," the Vatican wrote on its official MySpace Music page. As of Thursday night, "Changes" had been played more than 4.6 million times on the Web site. The list was compiled by Father Giulio Neroni, artistic director of church publisher St Paul's Multimedia. He was also responsible for compiling the Vatican's recent Alma Mater album, which combined Gregorian chants and prayers with classical music and the voice of Pope Benedict XVI speaking in five languages. Shakur, who spent time in prison for sexual assault, was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Nevada in 1996. The lyrics of "Changes" describe Shakur's desire to change a grim life of drugs, crime and violence on the streets. Lyrics of the song, which is labeled as "explicit," include 'Is life worth living, should I blast myself?" "Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on the welfare," and "My stomach hurts, so I'm looking for a purse to snatch." At another point, Tupac sings: "Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight." In contrast, the playlist also contains selections from the album "Music of the Vatican" such as "Advocata Nostra" and "Causa Nostrae Laetitiae." Other contemporary tracks on the mix include Muse's "Uprising" from their new album "The Resistance" and "He Doesn't Know Why" by the folk group Fleet Foxes. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/04/tupac.vatican.playlist/index.html cnnAuthor = "By Jo Piazza, Special to CNN";if(location.hostname.indexOf( 'edition.' ) > -1) {document.write('December 4, 2009 -- Updated 1919 GMT (0319 HKT)');} else {document.write('December 4, 2009 2:19 p.m. EST');} 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 "What's that noise?" "Oh, don't mind that...that's just Tupac spinning in his grave." For the Vatican's next trick- the Pope gets a "THUG LIFE" gutbuster. You read it here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pornbooth Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.
