Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the death of rapper Tupac Shakur. Tupac was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas; his murder is still unsolved. He is one of the most controversial figures in hip-hop and still one of the most influential. Case in point: Kendrick Lamar, considered one of the most important hip-hop artists of his generation, featured a full-on conversation with Tupac on his 2015 album “To Pimp a Butterfly.” Press Play talks about Tupac’s legacy and his influence on artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Kanye West, YG, and others.
