You know there&#8217;s something wrong with <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/young-dolph-criticizes-the-phoney-nature-of-posthumous-praise-in-hip-hop-news.60201.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">the way the music industry handles posthumous releases</a> when artists are getting tattoos like this one. Recently, <a href="/profile/andersonpaak" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Anderson .Paak</a> showed off the latest tattoo on his arm, which offers instructions on how he wants his posthumous music releases to go&#8211; or rather, not go.
With <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/bruno-mars-and-anderson-paaks-silk-sonic-perfectly-blends-funk-randb-and-nostalgia-on-leave-the-door-new-song.1990495.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">one of the biggest songs of this year</a>, Anderson .Paak has leveled up alongside <a href="/profile/BrunoMars" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Bruno Mars</a> as part of Silk Sonic, and the world has been loving their debut single &#8220;Leave The Door Open.&#8221; As we all wait for the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/anderson-paak-and-bruno-mars-tease-new-silk-sonic-this-week-news.136514.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">arrival of their first collaborative album together</a>, Anderson .Paak has revealed his new tattoo with instructions on how to handle his posthumous music career.

&#8220;When I&#8217;m gone please don&#8217;t release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached,&#8221; reads the new tattoo. &#8220;Those were just demos and never intended to be heard by the public.&#8221;
This comes following the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/steven-victor-addresses-criticism-surrounding-pop-smokes-faith-news.135900.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">heavy backlash against Pop Smoke&#8217;s label</a>, which released thirty songs as part of his second posthumous album Faith. Fans have picked apart label executives for changing his beats and releasing unfinished verses. According to Pop&#8217;s best friend Mike Dee, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/pop-smoke-allegedly-has-little-to-no-music-left-says-his-best-friend-news.137622.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">there isn&#8217;t much new music left in the rapper&#8217;s vault</a>.

Clearly, Anderson .Paak wants to avoid any sort of situation like that. Serving a similar purpose to a &#8220;Do Not Resuscitate&#8221; tattoo, .Paak wants his artistic legacy to speak for itself while he&#8217;s still here. 
Check out his new tattoo below and let us know what you think.
