In ''Tupac: Resurrection,'' the slain rapper and actor Tupac Shakur narrates the story of his life and ultimately his demise. This is good news for the fans, conspiracy theorists, and cultural thinkers who've made him a hip-hop messiah: Easter comes twice this year.

Comments: Notwithstanding its apparent confirmation of online conspiracy theories surrounding hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur's death in 1996, this "news item" is false. Notwithstanding the fact that it was painstakingly crafted to look like a CNN story, it was never published

Tupac tells women he knows they're "Dying inside / But outside you're looking fierce." It's a little saccharine at points, yes, but as "Head Up"'s chart success proved, by this time, Tupac Shakur could say "Keep hope alive" over a decent loop and sell mega units. Tupac was smart enough to risk feeling and appearing "positive." (The song gave someone like Nas, for instance, nerve enough to do a song like "If I Ruled the World [Imagine That]" in 1996.) As author Reverend Michael Eric Dyson might put it, Tupac Shakur knew to give us a little God with our gangsta rap.

* Much effort has gone into bringing Tupac back to life through posthumous albums and in 2003, this trend continued with the release of the documentary Tupac: Resurrection. The film was produced under the supervision of Shakur's mother, and was narrated entirely with Tupac's own voice, from archival footage recorded before his death.

Sadly, it seems that in death, the Mr. Hyde part of Tupac Shakur has won. The mystery surrounding his murder appears to have the elements of a true gangsta death. A shower of bullets. A dead body. And a combination of an indifferent police department and uncooperative witnesses. No suspects.

Suge Knight's Death Row Records, for whom Tupac Shakur held a recording contract with at the time of his murder, was reputed to be aligned with the Bloods gang. Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Records, for whom Christopher Wallace, AKA "Biggie Smalls" recorded for, is alleged to have made security arrangements with the Crips gang.
