Even though he was taken from us far too soon, 2Pac accomplished more by the age of 25 than most rappers ever will. The son of Black Panthers, he spoke truth to power as an icon of West Coast hip-hop. Whether celebrating women on “Dear Mama” and “Keep Ya Head Up” or flexing battlefield scars on “Hit ‘Em Up” and “Ambitionz Az a Ridah,” Pac's passion burned infinite no matter the subject. And Pac has become more successful in death than he was in life—with posthumous albums giving new rear-view glimpses into his world. Timeless. Irreplaceable. 2Pac.
