Twenty years ago today, Hip Hop lost a legend. Tupac Amaru Shakur was pronounced dead on September 13, 1996, after being shot days earlier on the Las Vegas strip.
His music, poetry, acting and voice against social injustices served as an example for countless artists that came after him.
After being portrayed in the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, Makaveli is set to get his own movie, All Eyez On Me. A new trailer for the film was released today in honor of the 20th anniversary of his passing.
Several took to social media today to pay tribute to the West Coast legend. Whether it was Public Enemy sharing a picture of Tupac with Chuck D, Paris reflecting on his time working with ‘Pac, or Tyga honoring his father figure, each person had fond memories.
Just imagine what would have been accomplished. Half these new cats would never eat.
rip to the realest to ever touch a microphone…ashamed how you were shot up..shoulda been vlad but in the meantime ill settle for him to get his ears stomped together by rick ross and company…ayo pac i know you were looking down from heaven laughing at how them boys put hands and feet on vlad. they beat him like a old virginia slave…played a friendly game of kickball with vlad’s chin….cleaned his clock real properlike. i laugh uncontrollably everytime i see that pic of vlad wiping his bloody face with a towel lmaooooo
Rest in piss to Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson!
Nas cried when he heard Tupac dissing the shit out of him on “Bomb First” and “Against All Odds”. And fuck Tupac by the way. King HOV murders both of them. Blueprint on rotation all week, 15 years!
Rest easy big homie. Hard to believe it’s already been 20 years.
NO disrespect but Pac was a very contradicted rapper. All women are bitches, women are queens. We should unite and then disrespecting everybody in the rapgame. Also a lot of songs are more quantity then quality. 10.000 songs about im a thug, i smoke weed really? Besides that he never was as gifted as an mc like: rakim, kool g rap, krs, biggie, nas, big pun, big l. Hiphop isbeing an mc.
You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Go back to your parents basement and crank up the Drake, future, young thug, and all that other irrelevant bullshit that you listen to…and leave the Greatest Of All Time alone. You worthless fucking sack of twat rot
Broke ass Nas is just as contradictory. You should listen to King HOV. He’s been real all his life, and he spits facts only, facts only, everything real in his raps only.
Jay-Z is a fraud…FACT. He made a couple of good COMMERCIAL albums and NO classics…FACT. Reasonable Doubt is the most over rated album in rap/hip hop history…FACT
RIP Tupac. damn the rap game hasnt been the same since.
Pac is a legend but was very contradicting reasonable doubt top five rap album ever are you retarded bad b.i.g gretest mc ever period
