“We used to be like distant cousins/ fightin’/ playin’ dozens/ whole neighborhood buzzin’/ knowing that we wasn’t.” – Tupac Shakur, “I Ain’t Mad At Cha.”

It’s difficult to believe that today marks the twentieth anniversary of the death of Tupac Amaru Shakur who was known to the world as just “Tupac.” Although the prolific Hip-Hop artist and poet has been gone two decades now, his music and life continue to remain extremely relevant in the media. With an upcoming biopic being released later this year about his tumultuous life and more new music being released, Tupac continues to make history in his demise. Rest in Paradise to a true hip-hop legend and Rest in Paradise to a true hip-hop legend’s mama (Afeni Shakur 9/10/47-5/2/16) as well! “Tupac Rifa Siempre!” ❤
