I går var det 19 år siden, at 2Pac blev skudt i Las Vegas, og i dagens anledning havde Kendrick Lamar skrevet en lille hyldest til sit afdøde idol.
Lamar har tidligere vist sin fascination af 2Pac på ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ – albummets sidste nummer ‘Mortal Man’ runder af med en fiktiv samtale mellem Lamar og Pac.

»I was 8 yrs old when I first saw you. I couldn’t describe how I felt at that moment. So many emotions. Full of excitement. Full of joy and eagerness. 20 yrs later I understand exactly what that feeling was.
INSPIRED.
The people that you touched on that small intersection changed lives forever. I told myself I wanted to be a voice for man one day. Whoever knew I was speaking out loud for u to listen.
Thank you.
