Christopher Wallace

...

stepping back into the previous decade, for a minute, i realize there are few to zero persons who would now connect with me on the meaning of the life of Christopher Wallace, also known as the greatest rapper of all time.

Christopher Wallace was murdered at the age of 24.

Tupac Shakur at the age of 25.

They always seemed so much older than me, and still they are perceived in that way. but now being 31 myself, it is obvious how young they actually were.

after they died, it is arguable that Hip-Hop was buried with them. After 1996, something seemed overtly false. The past decade saw no kind of resurrection. fuck kanye.

hip-hop was like gold to me in high school and college. there were few other places in my world to find inspiration, to confront reality, and revolt against it. it sure as fuck didn't come from our white church or chapel.
