Eminem does have a strange connection to 2pac. If dre and pac/suge never had beef, dre wouldnt have left death row and made aftermath. eminem is the only real artist on that label. People always say if 2pac was still alive there would be no this person or that person. i believe in this case that would apply the most. if you guys can remember the song em made about suge down talkin a man that saved his life? Well eminem never mentions the fact that 2pac started all that shit 2 begin with.(shook dre punk ass now he out of the closet) I dont know how everybody else feels but i recall 2003 to be the year of 2pac as far as the 7year shit was concerned, all of which was led by eminem. Remember all those diss songs used with 2pac as the spokesman. The dude produced a song called ghost on a album called 2pac- resurrection. I think dre naming his lable aftermath kinda shows you. What we have 2day, what we know as hip hop, is a result of n.w.a/ruthless records/gangsta rap/gfunk/deathrow/pac/biggie/west/east/snoop/pop rap/eminem/shady records/50 cent/ g unit records/ pop rap/ eminem banking off of my name is/chingy/pop rap. Hip Hop did die with 2pac because dr dre buried it and eminem was his shovel. Off topic I know, just alot of things connect the two from day one. Strange is all, how things work out.
