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

Every album he released sold more than the last one.

Had a killer run in 5 years.

When all eyez on me came out, it was the album of 1996. PERIOD. Me and my sister and cousin from st. croix spent that whole summer bumpin that album.

This man was probably responsible for the first wave of "wiggers" (sorry to use this term) in the rap generation. I remember white boys that only listened to Nirvana and grunge was trading flannels for starter hats and baggy boss jeans. This was fifth grade. 1995.

This man was in movies. And a lot of good ass movies too! He was the biggest crossover success...which is funny!

THis man said "fukk white people" at the 1995 source awards. And "fukk AMerica!" And they still bought his albums!

I remember when California Love came out...the buildup to the premiere of that video was epic!

When the video "How Do You Want It?" was released...dead ass...this nikka was like the first rapper to have damn near all white bytches in a video as video hoes. Game changing...controversial, super controversial for the time. That was not done before that shyt...

No rapper will ever achieve what he did or compare to what he did when he was alive. I'm telling y'all youngins, me and my nikka was just talking about this over a blunt. The 90s was wild as fukk!

Oh yeah, lot of white people were not fukking with pac either though. Cause of his rhymes and his background. Look at those Billboard reviews from back then...even webpage posts. He was honestly the last black entertainer that challenged the dominant society.

Which is why looking back I was kind of critical of AEOM when it came out cause he ditched that conscious rap tip to be more of a pop rapper IMO...more of a gangsta especially when he got with Death Row, which is what brought alot of new fans to his brand of rap.

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

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.

Thisnis true. But when he was jus another rapper he had many detractors that viewed him a negatige light espefially after that rape case in 1994.

True he was almost at Drake level.

I actually think it's safe to say the opposite. Everyone knows how big 2pac was, no matter the generation.

2pac was larger than life and you knew and felt that when he was alive.

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

'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

It was just something else to be able to witness when he was alive honestly.

Now, Pac is remembered in my opinion more for his more meaningful and introspective songs.
