[church bells ring in background]  In today's music news: the ever controversial Tupac Shakur has  just released another album under the alias Makaveli.  Music insiders are running wild trying to rearrange other artist  street dates, in fear of a wipeout in retail interchart movement.  Although no one knows the exact cause of the new album;  resources tell me a number of less fortunate rappers  have joined together in conspiracy to assassinate the character  of not only Mr. Shakur, but of Death Row Records as well.  Nas, the alleged ring leader of it, is furious at Tupac  excuse me Makaveli's verbal assault  on Mobb Sleep, Notorius P.I.G., and several other New York rappers  Jay-Z, from "Hawaiian Sophie" fame, Big Little whatever  and several other corny sounding motherfuckers  are understandably shaken up by this release.  The question everbody wants to know is --   why'd they get this nigga started?  Tupac, rather Makaveli, was not available for comment  but released this statement:    [Makaveli]  It's not about East or West  It's about niggaz and bitches, power and money,   riders and punks. Which side are you on?    [gun cocked, six shots, bullets hit ground]  These niggaz is still fuckin talkin?  You niggaz still breathin?
