how did rap die in 96 when 99-04 was fulla classix galore?

the west coast resurgence was way too strong for that claim to hold weight

Come on homie you are splitting hairs again...

Yes the West had a resurgence from 99-2001... and when I say it died I’m obviously speaking metaphorically and using personification because rap is not a human being and can’t literally die as a human dies. 

It’s like the folk classic Don Mclean “American Pie” (who Pac was a fan of for making “Starry Night”) “The Day the Music Died”... the guy is making a song about the “the day the music died” so if music was literally dead it would impossible to make great music about music being dead if music was literally dead

In fact when artists like Nas and Talib Kweli recorded their joints they were actually alluding to the Don Mclean classic

thanks for the breakdown, until you explained this i actually thought music could be clinically dead.

Was on my way to baseball practice listening to 93.7 WBLK and they broke the news of him passing...I shed a few tears I won't lie. Me Against The World was given to me as a gift and one of the first actual rap cassettes I had that wasn't dubbed or a mixtape. Still miss him.

Where were you the day the music died?

I was a sophmore in high school just comming back from a football game and heard on the radio that 2Pac has died. Everybody was talking about it and everything and I couldnt believe it. And the whole football season in '96 in the locker room bumming nothing but "All Eyes On Me" (People in high school was bumpin it when it first came out.) and "7 Day Theory"(Later On.).
