Where were you the day hip-hop died?

Is it too early to mourn, is it to late to ride?
I remember where I was the day hip-hop died. For me it was Sept. 13th, 1996. It was a beautiful summer day in one of the midwestern towns where one's own little world seems isolated and unique from the unknown world outside. I was a young buck, barely even highschool age, just girls, playing ball tryin' to be like Rodman, carrying a backpack, with an Oakley hat on backwards, and a pair of headphones on. Then someone must of started a rumor that 2pac died and the world believed it.
Still I never believed that lie. 2pac faked his own death and there is proof on sites all across the internet. Even Chuck D said it. He's chillin in West Africa or in someplace like the Wonder if Heaven's Got a Ghetto video. Safe from harm, just chillin out relaxin. Still he must not be makin music anymore cause he never reappeared like he said he was going to 7 years later on Sept. 13th, 2003.
Anyway, the day 2pac died I bumped "Life Goes On" off the All Eyes on Me album. I called up my friends and everyone was shocked. Some white people said big deal... "Just another dead nigger who sold drugs and rapped out violence." But to real hip-hop heads he was a revolutionary, I heard he was our generations James Deen.
Although hip-hop may not have officially died till 2001, and every once in a while we will still get a decent song or two. Still, I think it was back when 2pac was reportedly dead, that hip-hop began to deviate from it's roots and branches and leaves began to fall off.
............So where were you the day hip-hop died?

I don't remember.
The Watcher:
was never a Pac fan, so it never died
On The Edge of Insanity:
Um, in case you didn't realise, hiphop is very much still alive and kicking, you just need to go a little deeper than the stuff you hear on the radio and see on MTV 24/7.
