Tupac Shakur (R.I.P.)

[lloydbanks]

Hey Nina, I heard you were in the X-Rated version of Tupac's flimclip for "How Do U Want It". Can you tell me what your impression of Tupac was and did u get to spend much time with him; and also what was it like working on that filmclip?

(I love your work by the way Nina!)

[Jim]

wow.

no way. Is this true ?

People dont know that Tupac is the king of urban folk (rap/hip hop)
and even in death it will be years and years before anyone even comes
close to his legacy.

The beastie boys are number two i sales and they are light years
behind this masterful soul.

I just gotto know if the Goddess, who is jazz driven, was really
there.

Again, wow.
where did you get this info ?

^^^^^

my friend has the x-rated version on his computer and I'm sure I saw Nina on there. Plus Tupac said it himself in an interview not long before he died, here's what he said about it...

"We got 'How Do You Want It' with Ron Hightower doing the directing with me and we got all porno stars. I got Nina Hartley from the Bay..and all the big time people. It's the dirtiest nastiest video I've ever done. I got a playboy version and a regular version. We got nudity. It's the most amazing video you'll ever see."

Yes, Nina did the adult version of the "How Do U Want It?" music video. I have it on a VHS titled "Death Row Uncut" that I found at a local music store.

Amazon.com has "Death Row Uncut" on VHS and on DVD. I have not seen the DVD, but one of the reviews indicates that the "How Do U Want It?" video is on the DVD, as well. To find it, go to amazon.com and do a search for "Death Row Uncut" under "all products" (this will turn up both the VHS and the DVD).

Does Nina do any actual hardcore sex in the adult version of "Death Row Uncut"?

I'm compiling a complete list of all her original hardcore video material, so if I need to add that to the list, let me know.

Thanks!

[alex the acolyte]

Hi Sheldon. There's implied sexual contact, but no explicit hardcore activity in the video, and Nina is not nude in the video.

[lloydbanks]

Nina?

Hmmmm.....verrrrrry interesting!!!!

I believe that earlier last year, in our rumble with a certain now former jackal member of this forum (hint: don't call him "Third Reicha....uhhh, never mind!!!), Nina mentioned the fact that Tupac was a huge fan of Nina's, and, if not for his untimely death due to the iinsanity of the stupid and irrelevant (IMO) "Rap Battle of the Coasts), would have even become a friend of her's. Actually I'm not that surprised, given his oratory gifts as a rapper; it's to all our grave loss that his talents were wasted on the altar of crass materialism and greed and pseudo-maschismo that passes far too often for gansta rap and hip-hop today.

BTW...I am far more upset with the violence and the "bling-bling" materialism of hip-hop than I ever will be with the sex or the scantily clad women....there's nothing wrong in my view with showing Black folks enjoying themselves, sexually or otherwise. (And that goes for rock-n-roll, heavy metal, and other musical genres as well.)

I hear you, Anthony. Tupac was an amazing person and we hit it off right away. I had no doubts that, had he lived, he would have been a man of his word and we would have become friends.

He was so smart and insightful. Creative and a natural leader. The set was a bit of a mess one day and he came onto it and within five minutes had figured out what was wrong, what needed to be done, and had done it. Fucking impressive.

I'm on the adult version of the video, but the real star was Heather Hunter, who got to do the mechanical horse bit. She looked great in the video.

The best part was the private party I had with Tupac, Heather and Angel Kelly, after the last day of shooting. I may tell more later, but I will say this: Tupac had what it took to be a porn stud, no problem!

WOW!

Thanks for the reply Nina. I'd love to hear more about the private party you mentioned!

Love your work!

[Anthony_K]

Hmmm....Tupac, Nina Hartley, Heather Hunter, and Angel Kelly....with that much woman around, he'd BETTER be the stud!!!!!

And to think what Tupac could have been if he hadn't gotten himeslf caught up with the likes of Suge Knight (who is my nominee for the biggest Black thug gansta this side of Al Capone and the Gottis) and that stupid useless "rivalry"of the "East Coast Rappers".

And Heather Hunter....<sigh>....I wonder where the hell she is now; she was the total BOMB as a sexual performer, and one of the first successful Black performers of the video era. Heck, she even created her own show!!!

Oh, Nina...the people you run with!!!! B) B) B)

where is Heather Hunter you ask?

well she tried launching a singing career twice!!
once as a R&B torch songstress
and again as a not so tough Urban hip hop Thug...

both promptly failed..

but as luck would have it [being hot and sexy] she became the inspiration for a cartoon
called "BulletProof Diva" for othervision.... the current status of that I'm not sure..

she now paints, sings and still is every bit as hot as she was when she was 18..

she'll always be a personal favorite of mine..

[Nina]

Well, Saul, your taste has always been the best!

I also hear that she is finally happy in love, with a guy who treats her nicely and loves her up well. Go, Heather! One of the finest women ever to be on camera. I'm just sorry I never had a chance to be on camera with her. But, I'll always have that party!

come on! tell us about the party.

I don't mean to be coy, but I've got to save something for my memoir! Suffice it to say that 'Pac could have been a professional!

Here's the video if you're interested:

[choc-thunder]

Does the video in the previous bring back any memories Nina?

[Nina]

Yes, it did! Thanks for posting the link!

I still don't much care for the MTV style of video: too many fast cuts that don't let the eyes really land on what they're seeing.

Sigh. I miss him.

[luvnina]

The quick cuts really do take away from it,,,,even a 3-5 second freeze would have been better than that!

Nice beat though !
