Much respect to the late Tupac Shakur for this accomplishment.
He deserves one.
It’s so unfortunate that these young kids won’t have a Tupac. Instead they have Kanye West and 2 Chainz. LOL.
Exactly. Hip Hop has really suffered. At least there are some newer rappers that are trying to save it.
AMEN!
I still love me some Tupac!
One of the best to have ever picked up a mic…
Tupac was such a real person. Sigh…sometimes I wonder how Hip Hop would be now if he wasn’t killed. Biggie too.
Yes!
It’s about damn time.
Yes at last to Tupac, but Katy Perry wtf?
