These New Rappers Got Me Missin Pac!

2Pac is my favorite rapper period. I often wonder to myself what the game would've been like had he not been murdered..Would we have had the Puffy/Shiny Suit days? The Ja-Rule love song days? The Reign of Rocafella? The 50 Cent/ G-Unit days? Would there have been room for Wayne, Kanye, Jay-Z, Lupe, Nas, or Common(Or Insert your top 5 rappers)? Would 'Pac have grown with hip-hop? Would he have graduated to becoming an accomplished actor?(In my opinion, he was on his way! Have you seen Juice? GridLock'd! Rent Em!) I personally feel that if 'Pac wouldn't have died, there wouldn't have been so many niggas tryin to be him!(I said it!) Niggas wouldn't have attempted to fill the void left by his death. There wouldn't be so many niggas rappin cuz 2Pac would have been their voice. This is a guy that dropped an album in February and was 6 times platinum 2 weeks after his death in September. He changed the game. He still inspires many and this is 12 years after his death. So if you were born between 93-97, you missed out on some of the best days in hip-hop, Soulja Boy/Bow Wow/or Lil Boosie might just be your favorite rappers. Tupac Amaru Shakur will live on, through his music, movies and poetry. 2Pac wasn't some dumb thug, he read, he wrote, he spoke out on injustice. He was the Black Panther of my generation. He was an intelligent motivator of the youth! He has become an icon of a time, in a league with Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, etc.

2Pac- Until The End Of Time Ft. R.L.
Not a huge fan of the posthumous 'Pac records but this one is a classic and very well done.
