Flashback Friday - Scarface & Tupac Make Us "Smile," Plus, Sole, JT Money, Kandi, and K-Rino
Posted on September 5, 2008 1:00 PM
This one's dedicated to Blender Mag for that stupid ass article they did on 2Pac recently. I guess people receive his music differently. Or let's just be honest, Tupac did enough of a variety of music to the point where anybody can take a few songs and write from that particular perspective and assassinate his character. We shouldn't even be mad. Just observe how they have taken this man's legacy and added a negative twist. This is how we got the history in your child's history books. This is how you grew up saying "Christopher Columbus discovered America" Congrats Blender mag you have now made history.
Remember this JT Money and Sole. And check out the Grammy Award winning Kandi from Xscape just kickin it.
And we can ride out on K-Rino. He's an underground general in the Texas music scene. A lot of people aren't doing too good right now and ya know that just really causes drama in places where cats don't consider we all going threw it before they make moves against they own people.

RIP Tupac Amaru "Makaveli" Shakur, the greatest rapper ever to grace the mic.
Anyone that doesn't recognize Tupac as one of the greatest rappers ever is either deaf, dumb, envious or white. Period. No further discussion.
(besides he actually shot at a cop that was brutalizing someone and never did jail time for it. you gotta love a brother that stands up for others as does something like that.)
Tupac was an icon. It doesn't matter whether he was in the top 5 list of MC's or not. He was a tremendous renaissance man and reflected the good and bad in all of us. Last time I checked none of us is walking around here with wings and halos. However his list of songs with positive messages is more extensive than 3/4 these so called rappers out now and things he did to try uplift the community was equally impressive to me. And most importantly it was obvious that he had values outside of just "get as much money as I can". He is a legend. How many top 5 rappers can say that? How may people period of any race or gender can say that? Let these cats have they top 5 rappers because trust me in the end most of the rappers on the list will disappear while Tupac will still be known, loved and analyzed for the positive and negative traits that made him great.
