Tupac's Hummer Up for Auction
12/20/2007 By Dave Synyard

When Tupac Shakur passed away in 1996, he had two treasured automotive possessions — a Toyota Land Cruiser and a black Hummer H1, which is going to go on auction, again.

His family owned the Hummer H1 until 2003, when it was raffled off through BET’s “Picture Me Rollin” sweepstakes. In a twist of fate, the winner of the Hummer decided to sell it back to the family — still in a pristine state — and it is to be auctioned off once more, at the bargin basement price of $200,000.

The Hummer’s sale is to take place at an online auction conducted by Candyman and Yaasmyn Fula. Candyman is a rapper who worked with Tupac and Digital Underground leader Shock G towards the end of Shakur’s life under the name Havenotz. Fula is the mother of deceased the Outlawz member Kadafi, and the two represent Havenotz Entertainment. The company was founded by Tupac with Candyman in 1995.

Anyone interested in the automobile should contact Candyman via Myspace (www.myspace.com/candyman187).

Toro y Moi - Causers of This
Last year's most exhilarating subgenre alternated between the ridiculous names of "chillwave" and "glo-fi." Chaz Bundick, or Toro y Moi, may be the last of the bunch to have his say, but he has two reasons to be excited: Causers of This is the first of two albums he's prepared for 2010 and he...

Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields - It's Only Time
Whimsical curmudgeon Stephin Merritt is undeniably one of the most significant artists of the past 20 years. A clever wordsmith equally devoted to Human League and Cole Porter, Merritt's nascent musical explorations produced the lo-fi, synthesized sound of the Magnetic Fields. Even then, with his intellectual interest in diverse pop and folk instrumentation and the timeless art of charming, sentimental songs, glimmers of a contemporary pop genius shone through....
