The day Tupac died

[CHERUB]

Man i was in school they had us watching fukking Willow or sum shyt..Excaliber i think. We wasnt supposed to watch videos after movies..but my teacher was cool..it was end of the day when Vita used to come on i think. They announced that shyt that pac died..man whole class was silent. My whole school just kinda quit on the week. Ill never forget i never had felt hurt like that before. Especially for sombody i didnt know. Like most i thought "he gon be aight but damn again?" Wasnt no twitter..we had to wait on the News or Yo mtv Raps. Im convinced anybody that talks shyt on Tupac either wasnt alive or old enough to appreciate him or they trolling. There is NO WAY if you was young and into hiphop back then you didnt love you something about Pac. Unless u was frm Brooklyn lol

in NY?

The other week someone posted a clip from Clockers (classic movie shot in NY) where dudes was sitting in the park debating who the realest rappers were and Fredro's character mentions Pac along with Wu-Tang.

The movie was released in late 95 well into the East/West beef. Even in a time where regionalism was strong, Pac was one of the only dudes you could honestly say had equal love in all places (East, West, South, in between).

I remember Cormega talking about touring with Mobb Deep in late 96 and even on the Eastcoast, crowds would be booing Mobb Deep and chanting "Makaveli".

I was 6. I was on the East Coast, so it was a bigger deal when Biggie died when I was 7

This is where I was at when I found out. Me and my older cousin. fukked up my night. Most vividly I remember the next morning. Nice ass day outside. I just went and sat on the curb and was thinking. shyt didn't feel real. I didn't think he would die. It's funny cause a couple of my boys would joke and say he died after he got shot but when he really died everybody was like .

Yup. They loved Pac in NY.

Most kids in my school like Pac more than Biggie

I know Pac had a lot of support in Harlem.

I was in the club, DJ announced it kinda weird vibe. I was pressing up aggressively on some chick so I was focussed elsewhere.

I was 7 and didn't know anything about him passing until I saw Poetic Justice for the first time and that was in my pre-teens.

I was at the house checking the news and that shyt came on. Sad man. Lot of memories. I remember OJ ass and that chase on the freeway. Damn it was hot that day. When Big died. I remember like a day or 2 later after Big died Puffy did an interview on MTV. The look on that niccas face. Pac death was sad as hell. Way too much potential

Was 8 and I remember all my big cousins had tears in they eyes and i was thinking wtf is going on then I saw it on the news and just remember it being a very surreal everywhere only thing I think I can compare it to was 9/11. Wherever you went it was a cloud in the air that week.

when aaliyah died i was in class (in detroit) with one of her cousins and when the teacher told us it just got quiet then she lost her fukking mind, they had to drag her out the class to the office.

when big died no one was really sad...nikkas kind of felt like he deserved it.

I saw it on BET news and immediately ran to my homies crib in my complex knocking on his door(don't ask me why ), but he wasn't home.

By the time I got there I had to pee bad and hold it until I got back home. I think I was 17.

I found out Chinx died when I was fishing and then checked the Coli and saw a thread.

I still ain't recover from Bankroll getting killed when I read it on the forums.
