The murders of Tupac
Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G continue to cast a dark and suffocating shadow
over Hip-Hop culture. Some would say
that rap music has been in a state of stunted growth since their untimely
passing, unable to grow or evolve. Indeed,
rap fans that grew up during that era have a hard time letting go of its two
biggest icons. For us, September 13th,
1996 and March 9th, 1997 remain two of the darkest days in Hip-Hop’s
39 year history. The only way this perpetual
mourning period will ever truly be over is if someone at long last uncovers and
releases the truth.
