So this week I got a very interesting call while I was on air. A man called me back to back…to back to share with me what he considered vital information….
Tupac, he says, is the second coming of Christ.
Now keep in mind…I love Tupac…probably more then most…but JESUS CHRIST was not making songs like Thug Passion & You Ain’t Sh*t without ya homeboyz. GTFOH….LOL.
Take a listen to the craziness below..

Tupac & Biggie back when everything was all good between the two. Check out their freestyle session above… pretty dope!
All I can say is…it’s about time somebody said something.
A couple weeks ago video surfaced of FunkMaster Flex making negative comments about the late Tupac Shakur while on stage at a show. All I heard in response was *crickets*. Then a couple days later, Flex responded to the video with his rational behind the comments. Again *Crickets*. (peep recap of both)

Tupac Shakur changed my life.
That’s a big statement but I meant every word.
Everyone in this industry has a moment where they realized they loved music. For me, that moment was hearing the album “All eyez on me.”
Granted this was not his first album, or even the first time I’d heard hip hop. However this was the first time that I found myself moved by music. Pac has been called a lot of things. And his legacy leaves a lot of questions and debates. But for me, Tupac represented humanity in its purist state. Yes, he was a walking contradiction. But in his contradictory songs he showed me that it was okay to be flawed. His music represented every emotion we go through: Happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, hatred, hurt, joy, love, sorrow, remorse, revenge, understanding, inspiration. EVERYTHING. And while its debatable depending on your region of upbringing and personal preference; Tupac Shakur, in my life, is the greatest artist of all time, and I am eternally grateful for the influence his music has had on my life.
Happy Birthday Pac.
You are appreciated.

Last week I had the privilege of emceeing the Operation Hope 5MK launch event. Afterwards I sat down with Quincy Jones, QD3, founder of operation hope John Hope Bryant, Tyrese, Jeff Johnson, and Andrew Young. In part 1 of the video discussion we talked about Tupac’s legacy and misconceptions and how to make smart sexy.

Today marks 13 years since Tupac was murdered. He was one of the most misunderstood, talented, controversial, and creative people to ever grace this earth. Not to mention, in my opinion the greatest rapper of all time. Through he music he was able to convey every human emotion. He was extremely contradictory yet beautifully vulnerable.
I lived most of my musically conscious life to him.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED!
