According to legal documents obtained by the New York Times, 2Pac’s estate has decided to take action against Universal Music Group over the 2008 fire that consumed multiple master recordings. Some of the recordings included were from multiple big-name rappers, including the likes of Eminem, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg, among others.
The fire is said to have allegedly destroyed over 100,000 audio clippings, with more than 500,000 total master recordings being lost in the fire. UMG has stated that the numbers and rumors provided offer “inaccuracies, misleading statements, contradictions, and fundamental misunderstandings.”
