One of my friends called me at like 6 in the morning (couple hours after the incident) and was like "2Pac got killed man". I was like "STFU man I'm trying to sleep. Stop prankin me faggot." Then when I woke up again and turned on the TV, I was like "daaaaaaaamnn". It was a sad moment. I just started thinkin back on his songs and lyrics, and the shit he said started seeming more realistic than ever before. I thought about how rap would be without him, and I pulled out my Pac collection and listened to all his CD's for weeks. He truely was the greatest. His lyrics really have an impact on your mind. RIP :'(

When he first got shot I told everyone he was going to live cause I thought he was like superman since he survived the other one. When I found out he died I was shocked and in a bad mood.

I heard about it on MTV... I was shocked when I heard it, then I was kinda down & passive the rest of the day. I felt better soon afterwards. Wasn't devastated or anything like that.

I became a 2Pac fan lately that summer in 96 and as I heard about the shooting and that he is in hospital, I was thinkin he would make it, he survived the other one, so he will do it again. But then days later they reported about his death on TV and I was like: "Damn, cant believe this shit".
But I wasnt trippin that much, just bumped his shit like everyday.

man, that was some time ago.. i was about 12-13 back then.. still in middle school smoking on that mary-jane... At that time i was a huge fan of 2pac, dre, bone thugs, frost, warren G... and so forth.. but i really dont remember it being a huge deal.. since eazy-e passed away a couple of years before... of HIV... Also i was in Middle school when 2pac passed away.. and the teacher's werent too educated on the hip hop communities.. and come off as.. oh well.. thats life.. when you do bad things... but.. when easy passed i was in the 6th grade..... still in elementry school.. It seemed like it had a bigger impacted.. because our class had serveral class room discussion over it.... mostly because of what were the causes of death.. easy dying of HIV and growing up in a hood with the majority.. being black... but now that i really look back on it.. eazy e's death.. was the one.. i remember the most.. and how it impacted the commuity.. and kids in my hood...

I just sat and watched mtv for about 3 hours. Couldn't believe it. Still makes me sad thinking about that day.
-
I wasn't a fan yet back then...only in early 97 I started listening to hip-hop (which is kinda rare in Belgium if you're 12-13 years old)
But I can imagine if you're a Pac fan around 96, and you hear the news...that you're kinda "down" for a few days, I know I would...DEFINITELY.

i was like "he died??.. damn.. what a shame" ... then i continued with my life...

I remember him getting shot. I swear everyone thought he was superman or something, 'cause we swear he would pull through. When he did die, people were sad as hell. I could not believe it at all. I was sad for days. Pink was sad too, but I had lost the only person at the time that could talk to me, and tell me my life without knowing me. From the drug addict mother, to feeling death around you 24/7, to the anger of friends that betray you. 2Pac said everything I was feeling, and he did it well. Me Against the World got played a lot that day, as I said good bye to my favorite rapper. And because of all the straight 2Pac buying spree, I didn't buy Makaveli for a while, because I felt everyone buying his shit cheapen my relationship with 'Pac as a fan. I always was a 'Pac fan, and everyone else buying his shit made me stay away for a while. So until late '97, I aviod 'Pac. Weird, you'd think I lost a person that was close to me the way I reacted. Oh well. RIP 'Pac.

I remember when he got shot, I wasnt trippin I was thinkin like everybody else, he was a super man or somethin.
I had just come home from school, Friday Sept. 13, I remember I had just rented Crash Bandicoot for PS1...I hear my dad talkin to my mom and he said "he died? oh i didn't know that" and i went to the room and was like who died, and my dad was like 2Pac, and I was like whaaaat??!?!?!??!??!?!
I was in a state of shock for a few hours...it was just like Sept. 11, and JFK for baby boomers...some shit where everybody remembers what they were doin, where they were at, etc...
I remember on the beat Theo announced it, he sounded so dammm sad...he was like "i'm taking a break" and he didn't come back for a few weeks. I remember Westside Radio that nite was all 2Pac songs and Dedicational songs, like "Crossroads"
"I aint mad at ya" had just come out on the radio, and I got sad everytime I heard that shit, because it just has a sad tone to it anyway but then he had died.
