To answer the OP I wouldn't really know...I was 8 at that time and didn't even know what rap was.

yep, and that lead to a lot of denial and "he's still alive" theories. I remember I had a friend at work that was sure Pac was still alive

I work with a guy that thinks Pac is living right now. He says it's all in the numbers and he'll be coming back soon. :aicmon:

I was in my room sleep and my ma dukes came in and said Pac had died. I was a super Pac stan at that time. I mean that nikka was like a super hero to me. I was stunned and down as fukk. My brother was sad as hell man. That man put me onto Pac and worshiped the nikka. That shyt was sad brehs. I remember he stayed in his room that entire weekend and not talking. Come Monday when he was gone I went in his room and he had carved R.I.P Tupac all over the wood dressers in his room. :to:

But yeah, even the white media was covering his death and everything. People were getting nose piercings and tying bandanas around there head like pac. Drawing pictures of him.

Then the whole faking his death, 7 day theory shyt started popping up. :snoop: :russ:

in the east coast we was too caught up in the beef that most of us barely heard his catalog other than his albums and didnt know about all the underground material he had.

We loved pac till the beef started, brendas got a baby was a classic, I get around was played on the radio for like 6 months. Once the beef started we wasnt feelin him. Back when mixtapes were still actual tapes, you had DJ Doo Wop yelling how "you wont hear that dogg pund tupac bullshyt on my tape" and playin the sundula diss to pac "califony" also drop a gem on em was big on mixtapes before the mobb album dropped. Dogg pound got shot at in Brooklyn, it was crazy.

So as everybody said when the news first hit, not one person thought he was gonna die. It was mixed feelings because we were saying fukk him before that then he died. I remember on sunday night street soldiers is a talk show on hot97 and tupac and violence in hip hop was the topic. I remember Prodigy called in and wasn't soundin too sad but he did say he didnt wish death on Pac but he said how people on the street get killed all the time and Twin from infamous mobb apparently had just died too cuz Prodigy said RIP to twin but i dont think he said RIP to pac which kinda showed he wasnt really cryin about no tupac at the time.

it wasnt really till after biggie died that we started hearin pacs music. the more we heard his music the more we forgot about everything and started to love him again, we didnt realize how powerful and deep his music was. it was literally a whole 2 years before we would call him the legend that he was.


and oh yeah, at the time, everybody n they mama was talking about how he still alive. Nobody could believe he had that much unreleased material, there was a new mixtape with new material like every month. Makiaveli mixtape series went past 10 cd's i believe. Then Chuck D had his own website where he would have bet his own life that he KNEW pac was alive. he had this well researched reasons he listed includin numerology stuff. at the time it was very believable but then we looked at white people and elvis and was like naaaaaahhh, he dead.

Biggie was a whole nother crazy story. now THATS when phones were ringing all over the east coast. back when we still had "answering machines" Everybodys first words that day was "yo u heard?" and occasionally the reply would be "biggie aint die who told u that?" people ran to the house to watch the tv or turned on hot 97 before they even believed it

I still remember rolling around school with my head up high, expecting my nikka Pac to make it out. I thought nikkas was fukking with me when they said he was dead. In fact, the first person who told me was a fukkboy from Jersey who I had no respect for; I used to rob his moms glove compartment when she gave me rides to school :mjpls:

He told me "ayo Pac is dead" and I was like nah, stop fukking with me. Then a cac on the radio announced it and I knew shyt was real. One of the worse days of my life :damn:

I was at a party when news came out he died. Saw a lot of thugged out dudes openly shedding tears, it was unreal. On the national scene, Pac had made so many connections from his days touring with D.U. and hanging in NYC and then politicking with so many random cats in the rap game in a personal level that rappers were coming out the woodwork with emotional stories of how Pac touched their lives, etc. shyt was insane.
