Backstory: METW & AEOM were the best-selling albums of all times!. Tupac was played in every hood, church & liquor store parking lot, basketball courts, KMart intercoms played Pac!

I was 6. Just like any other girl, I was more into my easy bake oven, my Imani dolls,and singers like Brandy and SWV. Pac was dope but I wasn't into him until later. That Friday, it was "normal", depending where you lived :ufdup: . People were out and and about, handling business because it was payday weekend but the mood was somber. Mother picked me up from school like she normally would. For some reason, she didn't play the car radio like she typically would but as we pulled out the parking lot she turned it on



After, there was a 2 minute silence. The DJ in a dejected tone said Tupac, the greatest of all time has passed away.



Mother was :dwillhuh: :mjcry: then she went off about Suge, C. Tucker and the east coast :heh: I couldn't grasp his impact , "internal" issues in D.R. and politics like C. D. Tucker because I was only 6 :yeshrug: like I knew but had no idea till later.

I played outside with my friends and across the street later that evening. OGs fresh out of PBSP, COR, ISP & SQ were :demonic: meanwhile their baby mommas and wives were like fukk that and turned to #7 from AEOM




Faces went from :demonic: to :smugbiden:. I won't get into detail about what happened after that but lets just say that evening was epic:banderas:

Now when B.I.G. got killed, I'll tell that story for another day :ufdup:

I was 10 in London, heard it on the radio first.....

I remember I went outside to go to the shop or something and one of the older guys from my area was basically crying saying 'They killed Tupac...They killed Tupac' - He was like 18 and always looked out for me and my brother, always had the freshest kicks and shyt

At the time I didn't even understand the severity of it

That same guy I bumped into is basically a crackhead now, when he sees me he doesn't even remember me but I will never forget him for the way he reacted to Tupac's death

I was only 4 when he died so don't have any memories of him being alive. I discovered pac when I was around 17/18 but my earliest memory of him was when my mom used to play California love on tv this must have been late 90's. I used to get so scared of the faces in the video.. I remember crying so much that she had to change the channel.:pachaha: I always ask my mom about him, like tell me what it was like to see him on live tv on award shows and red carpets. She's always like he's dead it's time to move on :to: she just don't get it.:sadbron:

yeah, everybody just sorta :yeshrug: when he got shot. Hell, I didnt even pay half attention to how serious it was.

I mean.... Pac got shot. It's like someone running up to you like ":gladbron: Hey, breh! You hear the Chiefs lost today!?"

then he died.

That night, we was chilling in an IHOP. It was quiet as fukk. No cars driving, nobody eating. It was just us and like 2 old people.

It was like... you know. for the better part of a decade, it seemed like this nikka was always fighting an uphill battle with the WORLD. Not like... struggling day to day. We all do that. But literally, the WHOLE fukkING WORLD.

And while there was periods in his career where I didn't care for dude at all, and i know there are people that flat out hated him, we all kinda...

The Perennial Underdog finally went down. The World finally won.

Who wouldn't feel bad about that? :wow:
