It’s hard to believe that Tupac passed away nineteen years ago Sunday (Sept 13). The emcee died of internal bleeding six days after being shot multiple times in a Vegas drive by shooting.
When fans looking to remember him click on his official website, it features a letter written to Tupac by Kendrick Lamar. In the written piece, Lamar thanks Shakur for being an inspiration, stating he dreamed to also be the voice of man one day.
“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,” says K-Dot. Read the full letter below.
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.
K.L.
