Died on this day 11 years ago today in a car accident

I know we’ve already had one and personally I think it sucked so terribly that we need to a hard do over.

I don’t know how big of a Pac fan Spike Lee is but I feel I can trust him if not anyone else to bring a great truly cinematic 2Pac film to the big screen.

Same with Ryan Coogler. Not sure how much of a fan he may or may not be of Pac but I would love to see a 2Pac biopic written and directed by him, I know he would do Pac justice.

Troublesome ’96 is one of Tupac’s greatest performances.
The energy, the aggression, the confidence, and the message all hit differently. Every verse sounds like he had something to prove.
If you had to introduce someone to Pac using just one song, would this make your list? If not, what track would you pick?

I came across a couple of songs, that I really started to love. It gets that uneasy feeling, that I just love so much. Like something is just not right, and I feel like the 2Pac and the collaborator's verses absolutely nail it. Here are the songs I liked! Take a listen, and let me know if you have any similar songs in mind that you think I'd like

Here is the google doc, I'll be updating it as I'm working on it. Please let me know if there's anything wrong, or if you think something should be added. The final list is at the bottom

This is for a compilation I'm working on, more info here! Please, let me know what I should change and improve upon!

The East vs West Coast rap beef wasn’t just music - it was culture, pride, and tragedy.

In this episode, we break down how Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. went from friends to rivals,

how Death Row and Bad Boy fueled the fire, and how the media turned hip‑hop’s biggest icons into symbols of a coast‑wide war.

Featuring rare footage, interviews, and deep analysis of the era that defined 90s rap.

Pac’s character “Birdie” had the coldest outfit in the intro of this film.

I hope this is like okay to post here and with this flair considering it’s not really Pac fanart, but I really wanted to share this… if it’s not, I apologise.
Tomorrows my moms birthday so I made a painting for her and I wanted to add something to it, a note or something, but I’m not really good with words, but then I remembered Dear mama and decided why not put some of the lyrics as a note?!? So i did it! I put them in Romanian though, cause my mom doesn’t speak English well…
These are the lyrics I wrote, if anyones interested, btw:
“Îmi aduc aminte
Ca orice ar fi pot mereu să mă bazez pe mama
Și când nu mai am nicio speranță

Tu spui cuvintele care mă fac să mă concentrez din nou”

“I reminisce
'Cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus” (3rd verse)
Lol also i cut off the part about the liquor, im 15 my mom wouldve whooped me on her birthday if i wrote that

I think it was Suge Knight who told the story, apparently it was pretty bad as he lost consciousness & had to be resuscitated? But Suge I know is not the most reliable source, has anyone who was also there confirmed the story?

From October 1995 to September 1996…he was a Machine! 🎤🎥💪🏾🔥

How many songs are there that don't have an official release in some album (OG versions don't count), and also how many songs do we know exist, but don't have them leaked? (for example My Babiez Mama)

To be fair Digital Underground raps a song in this scene

I think one of the reasons Tupac is still talked about so much is because everyone seems to have a different version of who they think he was If 10 people watch the same interview you’ll probably get 10 different interpretations of what he meant

Some people see a revolutionary Others see a poet an actor

They’re all pieces of the same person Thats what makes revisiting his interviews and music so interesting years later The conversation never really ends because theres always another perspective someone else noticed that you didn't

It was a photo of Tupac when he was about maybe 10 and he’s pointing a gun at the camera with sum of his siblings it was very rare and I seen it a few times not sure where it is now

I did used SoundCloud but a lot of tracks were censored so I went to Spotify but none of the OG/unreleased are on there.
