Lil Zane made a classic 2Pac song when he put out "Calling Me"

Pacs death left mad voweeeeeelllllsssssss streettttchhhheeeeeedddddd :pachaha:beeeellieeeevvvveeeeee meeeeeee!

That era of the grime coming back after the soft moment of reflection when rap tried to shift direction (for a few months) was so surreal in retrospect as you suddenly had everyone rockin a baldie, top off and tatts became the wave not to mention the flagrant jacking of the flow that popped up everywhere. Crazier still is when the boots leaked people started just redoing those songs or jacking the same sample/concept and getting it on their album.

You look at every single artist that blew from that era onwards and you can see bits and pieces of Pacs blueprint - either blatant or subtle influence - weaved through their makeup because his death left a huge void in the game but like Quik said:

"Cause everybody wanna be Pac, But dont nobody wanna fill them shoes before they feel them shots"

Even worse is the current devolved state of the game can also be traced directly back to Pac because its just his antics turned up to 11 for a new generation and everyones doing it instead of just him being wild, dolo. Pac laid the original crazy, drunk/high all the time, courting controversy at all costs, name in media 24/7, being all extra archetype and the new generation took it and ran with it but because the drugs are stronger and raps standards are lower their mumbling incoherence over repetitive beats is all thats left of the artform as the machine he helped build is now firing on all cylinders selling genocide rhymes completely neutralized of any self awareness and social commentary to the next generation of youth.

One mans influence is an amazing thing when seen with the right perspective because love him or hate him he was an original.

It was one of the most shameful cases of biting in rap history and what made it even worse? It was hot :russ::russ::russ:

Zane had the flow, subject matter and vocal inflections down to a science. Slim & 112 put together a great hook/adlibs. The reality is if Pac put that out it would have been rocking from coast to coast
