![]() ![]() What we didn’t know then was that Tupac was just starting. Tupac Shakur would release his debut album “2pacalypse Now” that same year and he would also grace film with his cameo appearance in “Nothing But Trouble”, as well as a role in "Juice". It wouldn’t be until 1991 when the nation would get to hear the first installment of yet another unmatched mind in hip hop. Although I just named legends of unmatched caliber, a great thing about this genre is each one of these legends is in a category of their own for a unique reason. We’ve heard and seen the impact Slick Rick, N.W.A, Ice Cube, KRS-One, Rakim and so many others had on the culture. Many would do this the only way they knew how, which was through music. Over the years, hip hop has produced some legends, those who would uphold the essence of the culture, who would bring awareness and shed light on struggles that were taking over neighborhoods across the nation. As hip hop fans, we already know the culture is filled with history, dating back to 1972 when DJ Kool Herc essentially created/founded the entire culture.
