Here is my story: I was in 8th grade 93-94 and this smoking hot girl in my school class was talking about how she thought this guy named Tupac was so hot. So basically, I was a member of BMG music club- so I thought, what the heck, I wanna see what that guy is all about- maybe I can be like him and get that girl.

I recieved the "Strictly" disc in the mail but it was scratched. I asked my pops to help me make it work- so he hit play and it went to the "Mr. Fu*k a cop song"....ha ha my dad was like "what the heck are you listenting to?!?!?"

After that, I returned the broken disc for a new one and ever since it was on. I ordered the 2pacalypse disc. Above the Rim came out around that time- so that added even more fuel. Plus, 2pac's controversial brushes with the law.

Anyways- starting with Thug Life vol. 1 I have purchased every 2pac disc (official) on its release date. Never did get that girl though. I wonder what she is doing these dayz. And the story continues on...
 
In late 1997 after R U Still Down got released. My cousin bought the album and brought it to my house. The rest is history, lol.
 
I was introduced to Tupac on a later age. Back in the dayz I wasn't much into music. But one day I was on my cousin's house and he was listenin' To RUSD and that music really caught me. But when I left his house I didn't have any urge to go by that music or get some cds. Later, again on my cousin's house, I listened to the GH and I was caught and wanted to know and hear everything about the young man that could do a song like So Many Tears... I was blown away by the intensity on that and since then I've listening to Tupac.
 
i first started listenin to 2pac around 99 i think, iusta sneak and steall my brothas tapes while he was out and play woteva the fuck he had. and he only really had "happy home""mr. president""letz be friends" all in og, this was the only music i really listened to whe i was young, then as i grew i started to wanna hear some more shit so i started listen to 2pac on a regular basis from around the release of UTEOT thats early 2001 which i never knew was released till summer of 2001. i was bored and thats why i typed so much shit.
 
I got into Tupac when I was with my first real boyfriend he listened to Tupac alot and had a lot of his videos. I liked the music, so I borrowed CD's and taped them, after that I just wanted to learn more so thats where it started and now I can't get enough!
 
always have been a big fan of digital underground, and they played locally one or two times a year (usually with parliament). right before the ep release dropped they did a show promoting it (they didn't do same song) and sex packets. the purple lights at the show complimented my shrooms nicely. being that i liked du i bought their affiliates, including pac (in fact back then not everyone and thier mama had music contracts so you could buy the guest features on an album you liked and you'd know it was going to be quality shit). my first pac related item was the same song cd single back in '91.
 
My friends were all DU fans but i wasnt and they always bumped their music. Onde day they were bumping Same Song and when i heard him start rapping, i starting paying attention. I guess it was something about his voice. I just starting listening to him from the point on.
 
of course i used to bump digital underground but when ep release dropped i wasnt like ohhh shit who is 2pac and to be honest i scooped up the tape for 2pacalypse now when it came out but i very very soon after traded it for nwa niggaz4life....then i was in 7th grade and this fool kept saying over and over again "i get around" i was like whos that he said 2pac....so i peeped the radio until i heard i get around and i was like damn....then all the sudden my older homies who were liek 17 started pumpin it in the car we rolled in and i used to get high and representin 93 would come on and my big hmoie would be like check out this bass....so it was on ever since then
 
Good thread....lol,most of you have been fans since like the early 90s...well I was in high school and had heard tupac's name a couple of times because alot of the middle-easterners in my school used to talk about tupac....I was doing a project on an infuential figure in 2003 (I was 15),and I chose muhammad ali,but this half-turkish girl was doing tupac,but she never knew anything at all about him,and she was researching and I overheard some of the things about his mysterious and untimely demise and whatever....and around that time I'd heard thugz mansion and changes on mtv,and liked them.....but it wasn't until about 5 months later (late summer) that I read ''Edin.'',a former regular on here,posting about tupac on a local football forum in edinburgh.....so I asked about him,and asked him to recommend a few songs,so he recommended about 100 in approximately a year,and now I listen 2 pac every single day,lol.....it's not just his music that interested me though,it was his attitude and his style of sticking up for what he believed in aswell.......and I half-believed he was alive until six months ago aswell so that interested me,but not now,lol.
 
I first heard 2Pac in about 1997 with California Love, I actually didn't know who it was rapping and I hadn't really listened to anything of him until about 2001 and then REALLY got into him buyin all his cds and shit. DAMN how much I wish I was into him while he was alive!
 
My older buddy bought RUSD in 97 and let me borrow it and it's my fav album to date. I been into Pac since but didn't buy RUSD until 2000 after I had already bought a couple of his other albums.
 
in late '95 early '96....(had been listening to Dre and Snoop since '93ish) didnt start listening to pac till he went to DR -my friend lent me his AEOM cd...and i listened to it straight start to finish for like a month! -around that time hit em up came out, and everyone was lookin to buy the single, but no1 could find it....i remember i got it on tape, and listened to it over and over...thinkin this is the greatest shit ever lol..EVERYONE was sayin 'fuck bad boy' back then haha.
