[cali1]

Lookin thru my stacks I ran across 2pacalypse Now and I flashed back to where and when I first heard it.....Bought it outta of Wherehouse Music and I heard it ridin down Travis Blvd Fairfield Ca 1991

 

[dammitSPLIFF]

I was in the 5th grade sittin in the homies bedroom bout to go to school & he put on @2pacalypse now...i was like who is this...but then i remembered the digital underground song SAME SONG from the movie with John Candy...& that was before 2pacalypse now

I was really into Digital Underground so I first heard him on Same Song. I bought 2pacalypse because it was a DU spinoff album. I didnt know too much about Pac at the time besides the fact he was a member...

I was a lil late on him like around the 6th grade 94/95ish til a year later California Love came out then I knew all about him all everyone else lol!!......

Seeing the brenda's got a baby on the box or soulbeat, I didn't get "this is an ep release" till after Sons of the P came out (for DU, not pac), I didn't realize he was on the song or in the nothin but trouble movie til HELLA years later

B4 we went 2 that record store, I was at a homeboy's house gettin a haircut and he was playin track 12 Rebel Of The Underground. Boy, I memorized that song Part Time Mutha and Souljas Story after I bought the album., lol But I really got to him the day I saw Juice in downtown Fairfield on Texas St. Y'know I don't want to just limit this thing to just Pac's music only, so if there's any other music you remember first hearin and really diggin on ya'll can put that down too. Like the 1st time I heard MC Breed, I was in Dayton Ohio with some cousins and couldn't get that Funky Worm loop outta my head lol Little did I know that 3 years later chillin in Atlanta listenin 2 Greg Street's 6'O Clock intro everyday that it was Breed rappin lol

In 94 watching Yo! or Rapcity... "keep ya head up" video.

California Love video on TV. Loved it but never got into 2Pac. Despite his obvious talent he just never really interested me.

 

[niguardian]

i remember seein i get around after school on rap city, my brother came home all excited like "have you heard of 2pac?!?! that shit is tight we gotta put on rap city and see if they play it" and sure enough they played it and we were slappin it wit the tv turned up on full blast lol

 

[Lil MacnificO]

i was only 7 when he died in 1996 ..my mom used to play track number 3 on the makaveli album "Toss it Up" over n over again ..its still stuck in my head til this day

 

[Grapes Of Wrath]

^~LOL wow i feel old

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

I barely started the 8th grade when he passed & I still have that moment highlighted in my album fulla great memories!!! Crazy rite???

 

[28g w/o the bag]

"i get around" reminds me of being in golden gate park on a field trip in the 7th grade.... fall of 1993

[Rasan]

the Same Song video on MTV when it first came out.
I was sad for a week tho when he died.

 

[cali1]

Me Against The World is my heart. I was so close to that album it took me a few years to really like All Eyez On Me and Makaveli
