just noticed this while i was surfing online for my history of rock class.

Doesn't seem like the internet or the world cares... or do they?

Not fully related, but anniversary just feels like the wrong word when talking about deaths.

Was never the biggest 2Pac fan, but he does have a huge fan base. I'm kind of surprised this info has alluded me till now.

"death".

My facebook and twitter streams have been full of people posting up lyrics, videos, and RIP notices. But overall, I haven't seen any huge Tupac memorials stuff out there. I guess he hasn't attained Elvis status yet in that regard.

All Eyes On Me is a monster of an album, but I kinda burned myself out on that by the time I explored the rest.

I wonder how many more albums they can scrape together.

Never did care much for him but I appreciate his place in hip hop.

By the time "Me Against The World" came out I was neck deep in college radio and rock's back catalog. I probably didn't buy a rap album for about 4 or 5 years during that time.

Always liked "How Do U Want It" though.

Sure, it could happen. Look at Johnny Cash's resurgence. You never know when a later generation might find something resounding in an artists' music.

Pretty much this. My whole radar dish was pointed elsewhere. I don't think I'd recognize a 2pac song if I heard it.
