tupac is hip hop's only engima ever...that's right, ever. period.
he was a reflection of the times (90's)
he was more than an artist, he was a stance, a statement.

to me he is the most puzzling celebrity life story of the past 40 years. there's not many humans, let alone celebrities that had such a complex and explosive and dizzying and mysterious life.

the best compliment i could give pac is no matter how many of these rappers have tried to copy him, reapproapriate his name, persona, style and music, he was a 1 of 1. You can't replicate a tupac shakur.

he just had a little too much depth to his soul, a little too much dynamism to his personality and too little fear of life.

Playin all these songs….smfh this young nikka was a fukkin genius in the truest sense. It’s rare you get someone with a warrior’s spirit and the mind of a savant. I can only hope all these Gen Zers wearing Pac shirts and nose rings understand he was more than an image.

Damn im getting emotional and teary eyed. I don't even listen to dudes music anymore. I still remember that day vividly. I was 11, now im 36. Seeing how the world is today, i wasn't there for MLK, Malcolm, Ali at his height. But Pac was the closest we had of being a dynamic leader. Todays kids aint got shyt.
