Man i can't believe it been 16 years already; i remember it like yesterday listen to 92.3 beat as lil nikka and Theo announcing on the radio Pac had passed away then seeing it confirmed on ABC channel 7. I was in diselief never thought once Pac was going die that night he got shot; being that he was surived intially from gunshot wounds and they announced he critical but remained stable and his surgery to remove his lung was succesful. That nikka Pac lived a full fukking life to die so young. He did more in life time than most will do in 3 life times; Directed music videos, dropped 6 albulms, numerous tv guest appearences, was in 8 movies and starred in 6 of them all by the age of 25; shyt this nikka didnt live a full 25 neither he was killed 2 1/2 months after his birthday and was already a legend. They will never be another nikka like Pac with Talent and Charisma he was truly ahead of his time and once in a generation talent. Listen to this muthafukka in these last interview
This muthfukka was playing chess when the rest of rap nikkaz were playing checkers; this nikka was really living these lyrics "Once a motherfukker get an understanding on the gameand what the levels and the rules of the game isThen the world ain't no trick no moreThe world is a game to be playedSo now we lookin at the world, from like, behind usnikkaz know what we gotta do, just gotta put our mind to it and do itIt's all about the papers, money rule the world bytches make the world go round Real nikkaz do they wanna do, bytch nikkaz do what they can"
I can't imagine or fanthom
what hip hop would be like today if with Pac leading todays hip hop nation with his Foresight, ambitiousness and intelligence the lanscape of rap would be totally different then it is today.
RIP to the fukking G.O.A.T
