Amazing! I became bored stale years ago; I went through a period of completely decrying 2pac out of my life and found different pursuits and ambitions. Before I have come to realise and give due to 2pac, to me he was an 'idea' and amongst all the superfluous nonsense - which I belive was just got marketing and sales - i've found alot of beauty in his ideas, he's an icon and although the overall 'scene' might have fragmented, his music has become legendary, he's certainly imprinted a legacy on the the cultural milieu for generations to come.
I think that anybody who listens to 2pac in his teenage years might end up attenuating from the musical aspect as they age, for it certainly isn't avant-garde, but will never lose the 'spark' that his messages do leave an echo of in your mind, 2pac is like a vestige from a byone era, he's left colossol wrecks that have been levelled by the winds of time; and that's what will enthuse generations to come, he's become entrenched in cutlural and social history and as you look beyond the surface into the core of his vision, you will realise it's idle to seek logical truths in his words - as I at one point started doing - because the ideal of imagination is beauty, not truth. He was a beautiful visionary, not an embody of scientific truisms and for that, he will always find a new community of listeners generation after generation to come and to come, having their imagintions enflamed by his beauty.
Peace!
