They were bandwagon Pac is in trouble fans, tho.
They probably did not listen to Pac before he gained pr.
I know so cause when I listened to Pac no one did.
When Pac started his bullshyt antics and I stopped.
The floodgates on his stans began and kept increasing and it was never about actual music.
So this whole Pac was this or that, I know is fraudulent cause I been dissecting and destroying Pac clone war fans exclusively since 95 in real time and 97 online.
nikkaz did not used to listen to Pac like that and most pac fans are bandwagoners.

During the time when Pac got shot up the second time, I wasn't the biggest Pac fan.
I was in the camp of folks that felt he deserved it because of all the bullshyt he started, like most East Coast nikkas at the time.
I never expected him to die though. But then he did.
As time went on, and I sat down with the Machaveli album, I gained a newfound appreciation for duke.
He wasn't the most lyrical out of the rappers at the time, and he did start more problems than he solved, but I began to understand where his heart was at, and that album renewed the appreciation for him that I had back in the early 90's.
As time went on, I began to miss him because I watched how the game began to change, and I realized just how much things would be different if he was still around.
He may not have always made the best music, or made the best decisions, but his passion and ethics have been sorely missed in hip-hop since he passed.
Jay-Z would've never been able to come in, and shift the moral code of hip-hop like he did, if Pac would've been around during that time.
For that reason alone, I appreciate, respect, and miss him.
