In other news, yesterday was the 16th anniversary of the death of Tupac Shakur. In light of this, Tupac’s older brother and former member of Thug Life Mopreme Shakur chopped it up with Train Wreck’d Society to reflect on the life of his late sibling.
Mopreme spoke on the impact that his brother’s music made on Hip Hop culture and the after effects of his murder. He feels that both Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. have effectively watered down the message of Hip Hop and led to the increased commercialization of music.
“I believe that after Pac and Biggie, the powers that be were scared to death and decided to censor and stifle certain artists and types of music, messages and themes,” he said. “Or the machine makes it financially impossible for an indie artist to get some light. This was already happening before the whole music business shrunk from digital impacting the business of music. The bubblegum artists get the big machine, but they often sacrifice their message. The machine has totally immobilized some artists and nearly all reality rap, aka Gangster rap.”
Check out the full interview at Train Wreck’d Society.
