Tonight my friend and I bought drinks from a guy on the street with Tupac’s face tattooed on the side of his neck. I’ve also seen a stencil painting of Tupac in various places around Rio.

The last few weeks I’ve been meaning to write a so-called “hater” post about how My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy really disappointed me. I think the collection of those G.O.O.D.

SERIOUSLY?!

eightdayweeks:
Distant Relatives didn’t receive one Grammy nomination? You tell me five hip-hop albums better than Distant Relatives that came out within the last year & half and I’ll take you to a 2Pac concert.
