12730495, I remember 2 niggas got shot.

I remember ppl arguing biggie vs pac
like ppl argued prince vs MJ.

I remember fans being sad at a tragic loss of two great artists.

What I don't remember, though, is anybody that was not about that life
starting up with that life
because pac rapped about it sometimes.


Seriously, it's just music.
And I halfway believe music is god.

But damn.
