And I mean no disrespect but in a year nobody will talk about him.
Let’s look at why pac is remembered.
Dude died in his prime
Got shot 5 times and survived
Son of actual black panthers
Seen as black power militant (to some)
Seen as an ultimate gangster figure (by some)
Seen as a defender of black women or women in general
Died in Las Vegas strip
3 back to back classic albums
fukked Madonna
Trademark bandana
Friends with Tyson
Most influential rap persona imo
Etc
What I’m tryna say pacs life read like a Greek tragedy. Nobody knows this dude xxxx like that.
And all those things worked for that generation to call him a legend.
X went viral while serving time in jail, got out and surrounded himself with controversy, beefs and made music for angry teenagers.
Then, he's murdered in a car dealership with his lifeless body left on video.
And based on what I've seen of this generation, that's enough
for them to consider him a legend.
This generation doesn't need everything Pac did in order for them to put X in that category.
Why? Because they put Drake in that category now and I feel the same way.
Neither of them have done shyt to be mentioned next to Pac.
But that doesn't change the fact that I have had conversations with people younger than me who put Drake and Pac in the same category.
And what I'm saying is, it's going to happen to X.
