Where were you and what were you doing when 2Pac died? What was the vibe like? What were peoples reaction to him getting killed, was it the biggest news at the time? I wasn’t born yet can somebody explain it to me.

Oh no, the poor children. What will they do without Tupac?

Seriously though, I'd be surprised if there isn't another tupac album released a the 30 year mark. I'm surprised with the money and risks that come with rapping and having rivals like that that the people involved wouldn't invest in a security detail and training more than Cristal.

That's just my thoughts though.

Tupac Shakur's passing on September 13, 1996, marked a profound loss in music and culture. Even 28 years later, his influence remains undeniable. Tupac wasn't just a rapper; he was a voice for the oppressed, speaking to social justice, racial inequality, and personal struggle. His lyrics transcended music, becoming poetry of resistance and reflection. His duality—an artist who embodied both anger and empathy—continues to resonate with new generations. Despite the controversies surrounding his life and death, his legacy endures as a symbol of defiance, truth, and resilience. Tupac's impact is timeless, and his message remains as relevant as ever.

It’s very sad… I was 3 years old when he passed away. I’ve looked deeply into the entire thing and there are 3 people who I know for a fact know what happened to him. Suge, Dre, and snoop… those were the very same people who were involved with Eazy dying.. It’s all connected in some way and the things that I found about Pac and Biggie were that they were squashing their beef and talking about making a album together… that’s one of the reasons I believe that they were murdered.

[Oliverlogan263]

Damn no way, that’s insane you were that young when Pac died, crazy to think about. And for real that stuff with Suge, Dre and Snoop is so sketchy, I've heard a lot of theories over the years about them possibly being involved too. I mean Suge was definitely shady as hell and had motive with the whole Tupac wanting to leave Death Row thing. And I really believe Pac and Biggie were working on squashing the beef for real, that album woulda been an instant classic if they got to make it. Definitely adds to the conspiracy that they got took out on purpose cause of that, like whoever was behind it didn't want the East/West coast war to end. That's some Illuminati type sh*t if you ask me. Makes you not trust anyone in the industry really. I dunno it's all just so wild to think about, like Pac was such a huge star taken way too soon. Really shows how dark the music business can be sometimes. Appreciate you filling me in on all that insider stuff too, I've always been curious about the true story behind it all. So f**ked up if it really was all some big setup. RIP Pac for real.

But in my opinion, I think Diddy had something to do with both pac and biggie’s deaths separately and the guy who they say who was in the car that pulled up and shot at Tupac was Keefe D who got arrested for it last year then I seen today his family trying to make a bail fundraiser to bail him out. He blathered on interviews how he was in the car that shot at 2Pac and Suge and his nephew was the one who 2Pac jumped with his Death Row posse so retaliation was gonna come back on him but I guess Pac was one of those people who wasn’t gonna live much longer from the life he had.

Has it felt like to you it has been 28 years since his passing?

[DrPepper12]

Absolutely not regarding E!! That's just false

[avery58]

He wasn't perfect but he was talented, creative and often inspiring. He was also an actor, dancer and poet... a true artist in every way. May he rest easy.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

I’ve been shot at more times, fought off more thugs, I’ve been stabbed, bats broke on my head, shrapnel all over, and I’m just a broke white hick.

That scene in Straight Outta Compton comes to mind when their Manager or Label Owner is out there arguing with the black cop trying to get Ice Cube to act up so they can book him, and then read what those rappers say about their label owner/old manager now.

The black coo was right

[exitseven]

Who cares. ? He wanted to be a gangsta anyway

[razelove]

I don't get why they don't wear a vest, take shooting curses in urban combat towns, and travel in 4 man squads at all times with operators. If it's highly likely you'll get shot... why not try to prevent it instead of singing about what a pussy the shooters are?

I mean, you could do both if you go to squad level security detail I guess.

[FunkyMonkee]

I need to go eat breakfast and get some laundry done.

[Daniela1982]

There has been over 50 rappers killed by rivals. He is just one of them.

[zagor]

He's gotten way too much publicity considering his not-very-impressive musical legacy.

Def. overrated.

[Walksbehindtherows]

Tupac was good, he was the best after the norotious b. i. g.

[DrPepper12]

No way. Public enemy, beasties and NWA where the real ogs and pac and biggie would be nowhere without them. Even Curtis blow, the sugar Hill gang, grandmaster flash, Ice T, The fat boys, Run DMC have left a lasting influence on Pac n biggie.

[DrPepper12]

Sux. He was unique with a bright future
