Is 2 Pac becoming forgotten in rap?

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

Title

For someone who started listening to rap in 2000, I remember EVERY rapper wanted to be like Tupac or just idolized him

Seems like the younger generation has moved from that, more so looking to Gucci Wayne etc.

Yea it's an age thing but Pac was something unique and no one has come close to his impact both musically and as a person.

Seems like he's not mentioned much anymore

Pac the only 90s rapper these kids like

[Jefferson Jackson]

forgotten?

nikkas was comparin' him to Da Baby a few weeks ago.....

 

[Arcavian]

He been dead 25 years......

 

[Ciggavelli]

Nah, he’ll always be remembered in classic hip-hop.

It’s like people still love Led Zeppelin, in the classic rock sense, but modern rock bands aren’t trying to emulate them. That doesn’t mean they aren’t remembered.

Thats all it is, is an age thing. Its like saying the younger generation has moved on from Magic Johnson or Prince of course they wont have the same reverence for guys that were before their time, they didnt witness it in the flesh. You started listening to rap 4 years after he died, that was a different era.

Breh if anything biggie is far from the youngins minds than Pac.

Hell, when's the last time you heard youngins hyping up Big L?

Shock who?

Eazy what?

The attention span of a cockroach on its back

 

[Cladyclad]

I get what u saying op. Pac is being lost a bit. He has no voice in the mainstream at all. Nobody. Big got Puff & Jay. Pac has no one. And it’s showing by how many videos I see talking about him with no care in the world

only in rap this will happen. where the younger generation is proud of the fact that they don't listen to their all time greats

And NY nikkas cant't stand it
