Thanks to everyone for replying first of all :thumb:
After reading all of your replies, I guess I speak for most when I say.....
When you first hear 2Pac's music and you liked it, your automatically drawn to the man. Drawn to his voice, his image, his life and ultimately his message. Not too long after that, you find yourself becoming "the hardcore fan". The fan who wanted to know everything about 2Pac. Anything that had to do with the man you just had to have it, read it, watch it or listen to. Collecting songs, buying a Pac shirt, needing 'that' poster on your wall, watching his movies and interviews etc.
As times passes though and we do get older, the hardcore fan has exited but not the respect for the man and his music.
This board has definately broadened peoples minds about hip-hop and introduced other emcees that we hadn't and probably wouldn't have heard of otherwise (unless they became mainstream..ha)
From the admins, to the mods and all the members as a whole. Thanks for making this board what it is. I appretiate and applaud everyone's efforts, Pac fan or not....
and finally...Thank you Tupac Shakur. You are the inspiration behind this board being made in the first place.
Rest In Peace. Your spirit will live on forever........through your fans.
