TMZ reports that the rapper's family has promised to sue anyone who attempts to distribute the footage. It spoke with a spokesperson for Pac's estate, who explained that only the estate has the power to authorize the use of Tupac's image for commercial use, and said that there's "no way" the recording will ever get the proper approval.
