EXCLUSIVE: New Movement Launches To Get Tupac’s Father Mutulu Shakur Freed

mutulu shakur button(AllHipHop News) A new movement has begun to push to get Dr. Mutulu Shakur free from prison.

In the past few weeks, there have been rampant rumors that Mutulu Shakur, 65, was already free, but that was not the case. His legal team will be arguing for his release at a hearing on April 4. They will argue – in part – that Dr. Shakur has had no behavioral or legal incidents since being incarcerated in the mid-80’s.

The campaign formally launches on March 1.

MutuluIsWelcomeHere.com has been launched to help free the former Black Liberation Member, who has been in jail for over 30 years. “If you have been influenced or affected by Mutulu in a positive way, put your testimony on there (MutuluIsWelcomeHere.com),” said Zayed Malik, who is an artist and a leader in the organization. These testimonies will be given to Shakur’s legal team as examples of his upstanding impact to the population.

They outlined their agenda on a call. The website says the following:

“There are enemies of our struggle who are intent on proving that Dr. Mutulu Shakur is a threat and danger to the community and society and does not deserve to be let free to come home. It is important that we challenge that narrative with true stories of personal experiences with Dr. Mutulu Shakur and how we have benefited from knowing him. We are asking that you take the time to describe the impact he has had on your life.”

Additionally, supporters of Mutulu are encouraged to use the hashtag #MutuluIsWelcomeHere and to use social media to push the messaging. The movement will also record a music video and accept songs in honor of Shakur. They will be used for radio and internet play so clean versions of the music were encouraged for submission on the organizational call.

“If you got a beautiful singing voice, sing a song for Mutulu,” said Malik.

Mutulu Shakur is well known for aiding in the escape of Assata Shakur in 1979. He was was sentenced to 60 years in prison in 1986 conspiracy to aid in a bank robbery that resulted in the death of two police officers. Shakur was not involved in the actual robbery.

Dr. Shakur is technically Tupac’s step-father, but the rapper regarded him as his father, even if it wasn’t biological.

(AllHipHop News) The name “Bill Gates” has become a ubiquitous way to quantify success. Recently, the billion dollar man reacted to learning that he was lyrically referenced in Beyoncé’s “Formation.” Gates was previously unaware of the allusion.

“I hadn’t realized that she did that until somebody in the office actually sent me a copy of the lyrics and I said, ‘Are you serious? This is kind of a strange set of words here,’” he revealed to Wired. “I’m surprised.”

That initial surprise resonates with Gates as a compliment. “I guess it’s nice that people consider me successful,” he says. “I actually haven’t met Beyoncé.” Although, he has yet to meet up with B, he has met her better half.

“I know Jay Z, because when I did some humor right when I was retiring from Microsoft—he was nice about participating in that, and did a great job on that, he reflected. “I guess I should do a Bing search and see if there are more uses of my name that I don’t know about.”

French Montana stopped by The Breakfast Club to discuss quite a bit. One thing he revealed is the fact that Kanye West didn’t even know who Max B was when all of the drama surrounding him allegedly biting the waves/wavy movement was coming about. French said Ye is also in another tax bracket so his ears are probably somewhere else. French Montana said he didn’t want to get in the middle of the feud between Ye and Wiz Khalifa because he is friends with both. He also says he didn’t take Kanye’s actions as negative; he actually believed Kanye previously wanting to call his album ‘Waves’ was a compliment and a form of flattery. French thought is was all cool because he viewed Max B as being ahead of his time. French also said when everyone was attacking Kanye, Ye didn’t really get it because he didn’t know who Max was. Well it looks like Kanye is trying to help Max get out of jail now. Do you really believe Kanye may not have had any idea of who Max B was?

Real sisters! French Montana recently stopped by The Breakfast Club to talk forthcoming music, new endeavors, and living the good life. French tried to talk about the business side, but that didn’t stop Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee for digging into his personal business. Charlamagne reminded French that he had a line on his album that said,

“Why did I hit her when I know that they both was sisters?”

DJ Envy said, “Khloe and who else?” Charlamagne guessed Kylie, and Angela chimed in saying that half-sisters was okay. The Breakfast Club caught French looking extra uncomfortable during this interrogation process. French didn’t help the situation when he said shout out to Khloe & Kylie. That sounded like a confirmation. LOL. What two sisters do you think French hit?
