    When that ? happened the first thing that came to mind was "again?"

    And I'm sure everyone thought he would pull through, we felt like he brushed the last attempt on his life off like it wasn't ? ...

    It took 7 days for I don't how many fatal gunshots to finally end his life...

    20 years. 20 ? years. Just... wow. Some coward's act did nothing but make a soldier's voice louder. RIP.

    I was thinking the other day... at some point we'll all be dead longer than we've been alive. Hundreds, thousands, millions of years will pass that will make our lives seem like a raindrop in the river of time. But our spirits live forever thru the traditions carried on by our predecessors and the positive impact we left on this plane of existence. The things we affect in however distant a future would be more significant than the little ? that we fight for that isn't even ours. I don't give a ? if you think Pac is the GOAT or if you hate him on a molecular level. I personally think Pac was a decent rapper. I liked MATW, and I also think 7DT is overrated as ? . But one thing is a definite. In life and in death... Pac. Changed. EVERYTHING.

    was gonna give you a "GOAT" till you said 7DT was overrated.

    He made that album literally in 7 DAYS
    and got shot on the 6th of September and died the 13th of September (7 Days Later)

    That right there is just crazy...but back to the album. It's a classic,yeah he had the outlaws on there but that whole album from track 1-12 are all dope.

    Everyone knows I'm one,if not the biggest 2PAC fan on the IC. I grew up off PAC's music I studied all his songs,albums,interviews. I just wanted to know what made him so great. I wanted to know why he's been gone for 20 years and still being brought up today like he's still here.

    Pac was more than just a "rapper" he was an Artist,activist,poet,and much more.
    You can relate to his music no matter where you're from and what your background is.
    He's the most influential and versatile rapper ever. He literally touched every subject and has a song for about everything and anything. From Brenda's gotta Baby-Keep Ya Head Up-Dear Momma-Hail Mary-Ambitions As A Ridah
    the list goes on.

    The crazy thing is he died at 25... 25years old. If any rapper or artist of Pac's caliber were to pass at 25, I don't think their impact would be 1/4th of PAC's.

    He's well known world wide anywhere you go in the world. PAC's LEGACY is insane he has murals all over the world,statues,classes on his music and poetry being taught at Universities.

    20 years later and we still bring PAC up like he's still here. 20 years from today we'll still talk about.

    R.I.P to the GOAT

    Yeah, I get that. That's my honest opinion tho. But ? my opinion in this thread, which was my point in bringing that up, just a preemptive strike before this thread turns into a Pac vs BIG/Nas/Jay/Drake/Lil Yachty/whoeverthefuck thread. Regardless on how we feel about Pac at this point, his impact is undeniable.

    Sidebar: One of my favorite Pac songs actually come from 7DT.
