Here we are serving you with new stuff by 50 Cent, Trick Daddy, Fabolous, Obie Trice and more. The week however, was all about the the most influential man in hip-hop music, 2Pac Amaru Shakur. He would have celebrated his 39th birthday. He died over ten years ago, but his albums, movies, poems and legacy still play an important role in the lives of many people around the world. Let's face it, what hip-hop fan doesn't have one of his songs on his or her iPod? Who doesn't love to listen to "Me Against The World" on a shitty day? Or play "California Love" when going out? While reading through his poem book, The Rose That Grew From The Concrete, again, we came across a poem that we would like to share in remberance of the greatest rapper of all time. RIP Pac, we miss you.
In the event of my Demise, by 2Pac Shakur
"In the event of my Demise, when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle, or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time, because I feel the shadow's Depth
So much I wanted 2 accomplish, before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility, and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive, In the event of my Demise ..." - Tupac Shakur
