If You Miss 'Pac Like I Miss 'Pac...

I was just thinking about how different music was back in 95-96. I heard a song by Pac today and started thinking back to where I was when it came out... It's funny because you never can go back and it's never the same as it was. While I miss Pac's music, I know that it made me appreciate music in general in a different way. Hip hop is turning into jazz in a way, where the purists and fans of Coltrane don't really fuck with New Age and David Sanborn and shit. That's us and our music. Well, it's ALL OUR music but you know what I mean.

I came across this video while searching for an old CPO track called "Ballad of a Menace" which REALLY took me back to when NWA ran shit. This Outlawz clip is funny and sad at the same time because we've lost two good brothas from that group that we won't get back and to think it's been 12 years since 2Pac died... That just makes me feel old. It also makes me wonder what we'll feel like when more of our people pass. I sit and watch all these older people die from my grandmother's generation and wonder what it will be like for us when rappers start dying of old age and shit! I mean, we all know that Snoop will look like his Uncle when he's old and we'll all be bawlin when he dies from natural causes at 94.

Enjoy the Outlawz video and go check out their new joint called "Born Outlawz." It's dope.

Also, to the people that are writing comments anonymously but talking shit, man up. You visited MY site. Thanks for that. I love the attention.

Peace to Pac. It ain't the same without you. Like there will never be another Marvin Gaye...

ONE.
