its one of the reasons why despite being gone he still highly coveted and talked about and held as one of the GOATs.

alot of people can appraciate all if not atleast. one aspect of him as a rap artist whether it be him as a rapper, the gangsta rapper, concious rapper, poetic rapper, etc.
I know people who say they dont like his gangsta music, but like his concious music.
I know some who say they like his gangsta music
I know some who say they like his introspective shyt.
I know some who they like his storytelling
etc

and alot of people appreciate it all.

The GOAT of all Hip Hop and Rap music. The Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix level artist of the genre and culture.

The true voice of two generations (fukk Conye) because he spoke up for us millennials and even the Gen-Zers in songs as well so he was reppin for at least three generations of Black people that he KNEW was about to go through crazy shyt. That’s why his music and interviews are still so relevant.

Pac is and will always be one of the most beautiful and tragic living symbols of the successes and failures of the Black Power era. He embodies the music so much because the music itself was birthed from the same volatile cauldron of 70s NYC as he was.

Without ‘Pac’s music when I was young there a chance I would’ve never gained my consciousness. Now I’m almost 10 years older than he was when he died. Thinking back, I would’ve never sought out the Panthers or Malcolm. His importance, similar to Malcolm’s, is often glossed over and he’s usually only discussed in a negative context. But for anyone who was genuinely touched by this man’s art, words, and life….we will always know the truth.

Rest in everlasting peace. :wow:

“The preacher want me buried, why? Cause I know he a liar
Have you ever seen a crackhead, that's eternal fire
Why you got these kids' minds thinking that they evil?
While the preacher being freaky you say "honor God's people"
Should we cry when the Pope die? My request
We should cry if they cried when we buried Malcolm X
Mama, tell me am I wrong, is God just another cop?
Waiting to beat my ass if I don't go pop?
Memories of a past time, giving up cash to the leaders
Knowing damn well they ain't gonna feed us
In my brain how can you explain time in B.C
It's hard enough to live now in these times of greed
They say Jesus is a kind man
Well, he should understand times in this crime land
My Thug nation, do what you gotta do, but know you gotta change. Try to find a way to make it out the game
I leave this, and hope God can see my heart is pure
Is heaven just another door? I leave this here
I leave this, and hope God see my heart is pure
Is Heaven just another door?”

:wow:
