This current generation does not understand how BIG 2pac was when he was alive ...

[Unknown Poster]

'Pac was huge in 1996, bigger than any rapper out now. Only Snoop was more popular but 'Pac became bigger.

Which makes 'Pac's murder all the more sinister. I keep trying to tell youngins how crazy it is that the biggest rap star in the world gets killed in one of the busiest places (Las Vegas) at probably the busiest time (after a Mike Tyson boxing match) while sitting in traffic with no security around him (I know security was in the cars surrounding him but didn't do shyt).

Thats like Rihanna getting shot dead on the red carpet at the MTV Awards or George Clooney getting kidnapped in Hollywood and beheaded by ISIS.

And the police still officially have his murder unsolved

I personally don't even like talking about that honestly. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out that Pac died. I think about that shyt alot.

I still think Suge set him up honestly. Back then rumors were floating around that he was gonna do like Dre did and leave Death Row.

If noty suge, it was probably feds or the cops. Who knows how much Pac was hated by the powers that be before he died. I know the JDL tried to extort him.

I dont believe Suge had anything to do with 'Pac's death at all. When people say Suge did, what they're really saying is 'Pac was a puppet and wasn't strong enough or clever enough to say anything back. I don't buy into that at all. 'Pac was powerful and clever enough to see any potential problems.

From another perspective, I dont care who you are, theres no way your going to PAY to have your 'best friend' killed literally right next to you. Bullets have no names and gangstas dont care that much about aim so its like putting a bounty on your OWN head.

True he was almost at Drake level.

u drake stans are deliousional...

Drake ain't even in the same category as Pac let alone level.
Pac is hip hop legend...
Drake is pop music star....

Ice Cube did most of what you said before Pac. Saying fukk you America, selling more each time, having rock heads incorporate Hip Hop or at least just himself into their collection. Released multiple classics in a row, movies.

But yes kids don't realise just how big Pac was when he was still alive.

I still say Ice Cube was way bigger then Pac when he was alive. Thats the way I remember it....It was as if everything Cube did, Pac would come behind Cube to do the same thing. But after Pacs death, he just catapaulted over what Cube layed down first. It was strange watching that transition. But thats the way it happened.

Hip Hop's Michael Jackson

More like hip hop's James Dean or Kurt Cobain. Michael Jackson's talent transcended the genre, Pac was a great artist (good rapper) but the biggest reasons people love him aren't really rap related.

nah son sorry ... the biggest reasons people loved pac were because they had listened to his great music and explored the life into the man .. that was only 25 behind the powerful music since first album

what you're saying is like " oh nobody really fukks with prince if it wasnt for purple rain"

I'm sorry but this just isn't true.
The Vatican put out a compilation album and had a Tupac song on it

In 2009 tho

nikka was inescapable from the point right when he went to trial. Media was hounding his every move.

Then he went to jail. Me Against the World dropped, nikka was STILL making noise EVERYWHERE. Dear Mama was all over the radio and TV....

Then.... he got out.


I'm not gonna st here and lie like I was stanning either of them nikkas back then. But..... and no offense to anyone when I say it...

But it goes to show the arrogance of the East Coast, lotta cats saying Pac didn't have this huge presence til either he started dissing or til he died.

Can't expect less, though. Everything left of Pennsylvania is either "Mid-West" or "West Coast".

That's 3000 miles of "West Coast".
