2025
'I could do some songs for you, if you like', Offered i, rather presumptuously...
'Really??? - Oh man, that would be so cool', Replied Tupak - if my memory serves me correctly...
'Subject to Team approval and timing, of course', added i, somewhat belatedly...
'I'll order some of your music and then W/we can go through them T/together, continued i - which i did the following day - 2 albums, as it turned out...
...2Pac Greatest Hits, and The Best Of 2Pac Part 1: Thug...
What immediately drew me to Tupak was the nature of His Voice in such Reply - for it was a surprisingly quite, unpresumptuous, and gentle one, full of appreciation and pleasant/eager surprise - and a very upbeat Paul (Walker) had seemingly Accompanied Tupak, strangely/surprisingly enough...
So i felt assured - for Paul has such a very Warm and Uplifting Vibe - one that i both Recognise and find to be very welcoming indeed...
...And He seemed Happily excited also - as if perhaps Himself and Tupak were good Friends, or that he had simply enjoyed listening to Tupak's musical offerings perhaps, whilst he was incarnate on planet Earth - Energised would probably be the most fitting one-word label to use...
...However, having said that, Paul had/has, like Rhio and one Other, seemingly Chosen / been Assigned the role of A Team Supervisor/Overseer, so maybe His accompanying Presence was more in the Role of 'Paul The Protector', perhaps eh - for He has unexpectedly come to my unbidden Service/Defence before, within such a respect - the restoring/maintaining of civilised order within the Group, whenever He has seemingly deemed it to be necessary, perhaps...
What started the whole Tupak ball rolling is anyone's guess, of course - for i simply no longer remember - all i now know is that such a perceived Interaction seemingly took place on Monday 14 July 2025...
So anyway, the '2Pac Greatest Hits' cd arrived on Wednesday 16 July - and 'The Best Of 2PAC Part 1: THUG' cd arrived on Thursday 17 July - a day that heralded the perceived Return of both Paul and Tupak, actually...
...With Paul, once again Displaying a Happy/Smiling, Energised, and eager Vibrational Presence...
So, whilst i was inth kitchen the thought came to play one of the two said 2Pac albums on my stereo system - with me deciding that i would play the Greatest Hits cd first - but with there being a seeming definite Preference to play the other one instead...
...In a way that very much suggested that the Chosen 3 tunes/tracks would all be coming from that particular album, exclusively - and so, start to play it i did, before returning to the kitchen once again - even though i couldn't particularly hear such music being played clearly from there...
The first track contained what i considered to be unacceptable swear-words, so i quickly moved on to the second one - and explained that such tracks would simply not be an option for consideration - something that Tupac fully understood btw...
'It's not a Good Vibe man, i didn't know', offered Tupak - meaning that he simply didn't know whilst incarnate on planet Earth - but obviously suggestive of the fact that He only found out / Realised sometime after returning Home after his latest incarnation had ended...
Anyway, during the playing of the 7th track my ears pricked up, resulting in me walking back into the living-room and noting down both the track number and track title within the current A6 Notebook situated upon my computer desk - and so it continued to the end of said album - with me deciding that i already knew what the 3 tunes were to be, after having already earmarked them as being definite possibilities...
Upon which, 'Keep it respectful' was gently Heard by myself...
...After which i referenced myself and Amy's (Winehouse) Interactions to Tupak, when i did the same type of thing lolz - and Telling Him to be similarly firm with me regarding His particular Choices, when the time came to do so, with a reassurance that it was quite okay for Him to do so, as long as it was Communicated in a friendly/acceptable way, of course - which, based upon our Interactions so far, was seemingly very much a given anyway...
So, anyway, i then went on to explain to Tupak that i would have to read the lyrics to each track on said album (due to my slightly/somewhat impaired hearing) in order to put aside the ones that i found to be too/unacceptably sweary - and that the ones remaining would then become the only ones available for His consideration - and so i did...
...With the suggestion that said Choosing by Tupak would hopefully/ideally take place on/during the following morning/day (Friday 18 July) ...
So, this morning i chose to start my day at around 6 am - and as there was absolutely no Feeling/Sensing of there being any rush, i decided to take an early morning walkies in order to wake up more fully - before returning and preparing myself a bowl of mashed bananas, yoghurt, and mixed-in orange juice, and then duly eating it...
A Session With Tupak (and Paul) on Friday 18 July 2025...
...Which started with me putting my headphones on (after cleaning its top head-band - as i did within Amy's Session with me actually) - and with my stereo hand-held-remote placed readily on my computer desktop - for both track selection and any deemed necessary pauses for the typing of any Communications (Verbal or otherwise) that took place between the three of U/us...
And then typing out each of the seven possible track numbers available for the Selection of three Chosen ones ('Track 2' etc) on Windows Notepad - and in readiness for the typing out of any 'Verbal' and non-Verbal Interactions - primarily between Tupak and myself, but also, as it turned out, to facilitate Paul's occasional non-Verbal Input also...
First time listening started at ??? (i didn't look at the time) ...
First time listening finished at 9:30 am ...
The following is verbatim (apart from the later explanatory [ ] track 9 annotation, for example) - even though it may seem to be, admittedly, rather scruffy/rushed - and in need of tidying up...
*** Track 2 - California Love *** 'i like it'... ***
Track 3 - So Many Tears 'i don't want it' - "fuck the world" is one of the lyrics btw...
Track 6 - Trapped 'bla bla' with a somewhat distastful shake of the Head Discerned Vibrationally/Energetically by myself from Tupak...
*** Track 7 - Changes 'Terry, definitely' - after Feeling an uplifting/Happy Energy from both Paul and Tupak ("youse my nigga" after me explaining that on a first time listening basis i am sort of gliding over the tracks, and will listen properly / more attentively 2nd time around - this was in response to Tupak somewhat berating me within non-understanding of the way i Work / tend to do things by saying 'listen (to it / the words) man' or words to such affect *** ...
Track 9 - Unconditional Love - 'now this is a favourite of mine, but i don't think i can have it' (Tupak) followed by me ??? [i can't remember what the word(s) should be lolz] and then me offering a fist bump (which we did) and with Tupak seemingly preferring to clasp hands and strongly/resolutely shaking arms somewhat rigourously (as a sign/symbol(ic) of mutual strength-strong/agreement of mutual feeling/understanding) positioned/configured in a 'v' shape, with Tupak saying 'brothers' to me...
*** Track 10 - Dear Mama 'you got it' (Tupak - with Paul seemingly very much in Smiling agreement) - i was earlier wondering whether this would be one - during my earlier walkies as well as yesterday ***
Track 11 - Resist The Temptation - a Vibrational shake of the head from Tupak just as Dear Mama was playing the last bit / outro, in response to me wondering in a sort of upbeat/positive/expectant(???) getting-ahead-of-myself / forward thinking way [if] this last one would be Chosen by Tupak also - with me saying 'you can change your mind if you want' upon taking it off pause - and Tupak simply saying 'we're done' in reply/response...
2nd time of listening - but only of the 3 Chosen tracks by Tupak...
- and at the start of playing California Love for the 2nd time...
'I'm very appreciative, but i'll have to go now' (Tupak) ...
'OK' - my reply...
And then me belatedly Asking Him whether He wanted to sort the order of the Chosen songs/tracks...
Which was responded by what i interpreted to be a 'can't be bothered' shake of the head by Tupak as he rather eagerly[???/quickly] continued on His way - seemingly with Paul Accompanying Him / Escorting Him away, perhaps...
...Leaving me to listen unaccompanied...
And that was it, folks...
Nice track selections, Tupak :-) :-) :-) ...
The end - and how very pleasingly interesting it all turned out to be - :-) :-) :-) ...
