2Pac 10 Year Anniversary thread.

On September 13th 1996 2Pac had succumbed to his bullet wounds & died, & Gen-X had lost its final hero. Like Kurt Cobain, a man like 2Pac comes once every so often, a man who is a lyrical & musical genius who also has a message, who is sincere, who is passionate.

I have a feeling not a lot of people here are into rap but that’s irrelevant because 2Pac spoke so many truths, & was not afraid to speak his mind at all! He was so passionate & is still today the highest selling rap artist of all time & it's not hard to see why, so I hope people will leave nice comments about him.

There are so many "rappers" out there today (& I'm not even going to sully this thread with their names) that are just a joke! Their just an insincere marketing tool that only appeal to children.

We miss ya Pac, but your spirit will always live on thru your music.

Some great videos:

Cool thread. I am one of those who is into Rap/hip hop/ r&b alot. I met 2Pac before he became famous - at a UCLA party that my friend and I crashed in 1989. He was a nice guy.

Wow... I can't believe that almost no one replied to this thread, for shame KR.

Do people even care about passion or talent anymore? Do they care about people who are sincere & stick up for the little guy? It seems like all people like to do is forget & not give it up for those who deserve it, & download crap music & fall prey to stupid trends that are completely LAUGHABLE & FORGETABLE like all the previous crap trends before them!

Tupac had his share of flaws, but he also had soul.
I actually finally caught "Tupac: Resurrection" on VH1 recently, and I loved it.

He had more like...layers to his fucking personality than anyone else in hip hop I can think of.
