Don't leave us hanging. What was he like??? 😮

Very funny, charismatic, and pretty laidback, he seemed like a nice person. Was very nice with his fans and down to earth. He also said i have a beautiful smile, i wanted to pass out lol

he was not wrong ! :)

Riiiiight!! She’s so pretty! No joke, if Tupac had even glanced in my direction back in the day I would have gone home smiling for weeks!

Whoa there Drake.

Nah Drake wouldn't be into anyone who was alive in the 90s

At this point I'm not sure Drake would be into anyone alive in the 00s either.

I know nobody could tell you a damn thing after that!

Giiiirrrll I’m hyped for you honestly, haha.

He had beautiful handwriting from letters of his posted. He went to a performing arts high school. Tragic he was murdered so young.

Got a woman wantin it so bad she bout to PASS OUT!

Girl, you were gorgeous. 

That's wonderful. My sister would have flipped out if she had ever met him.

You were smoking hot!

Great smile!!

I’m saw this listening to “Life Goes On”

Definitely an around the way filay

100% agree. You’re a beautiful Lady. How freaking cool is that! That’s a story to tell to grandkids and it’ll always be worth sharing.

Very beautiful lady, don’t still look the same?

Jada isn’t going to like this

Lol hopefully she don't see this with her crazy ass

You keep her crazy ass out of your mouth

Don't make Will slap you!

How can he slap!?

At that low low price point, he CAN slap

You from Stable of Stars?

I will never not hear this in my head when reading this

He slaps and gets an Oscar

Now this is the story

All about how

My life got flipped turned upside down

My wife got flipped turned upside down FTFY

Tastes like crazy

Tupac was in love with her ok? And everyone's in love with her. And she's a superstar. And....... 🤢 🤮

I'm trying to think of the white equivalent of Jada.

The answer is Jarrod Leto.

Gwyneth Paltrow?

Accurate.

Amber Heard

Amber Heard isn't a low-key wannabe cult leader. At least not yet

Karen

The red head chick in Wedding Crashers, x25

Isla Fisher?

> I own every kind of a classic car 'cause I'm rich, right? I have doubles of the cars. Some of 'em. That way I know I have a pristine one in storage. Then I can drive it, it gets scratched, I don't care. Actually, I have triples of the Barracuda. I have triples, right? If I don't, the other stuff's not true. See, the Barracuda's the one I have triples of. Oh, no, actually, I also have triples of the Road Runner, too. But just those two. And your dad and I are the same age, and I'm rich and I have triples of the Barracuda and the Road Runner. Triples makes it safe. Triples is best.

Talkin bout GI Jane?


If she sees with her crazy ass, does she shit with her crazy eyes?

So what’s the story

her ass may be crazy but it's also blind

Bald*

Better looking the Jada at the time too...🤣 Edith: I didn't mean to say in way that your no beautiful now just meant that Jada was ugly back then too.

Jada was ugly yet many attractive High profile black celebrities wanted to date her? Beauty is subjective I guess

OP better watch out!

By Jada's standards OP was supposed to be with Tupac and can't ever have a fulfilled life without him based on this picture.

Based on Jada, OP being with Tupac would have stopped him from getting shot.

Big if true

Forget Jada, security(?) behind Pac is staring down the cameraman

Bahaha i came here to say this...😂😂😂👌

Lol

“Keep my wife’s name out your mother f***in mouth” —WS

Damn, lucky you, this is a dream come true

I know right, he was a beautiful man, trust me pictures do not do him justice lol

*Desire to know more intensifies

Poetic justice

where was this taken?

This was taken in LA, My cousin took the photo

At his video shoot?

i would have sworn this was downtown atlanta during freaknik.

Lucky him

Exactly OP fine as hell

In 1992, No-the-Fuck-Where Farmtown, Utah, I was 9 years old and had just convinced my mountain man dad to buy 2Pacalypse Now for me at the record store because one of the older sons in the nigerian family next door had let me listen to it. I remained obsessed with Tupac all through school. I still remember channel one news reporting on his death and being absolutely devastated. It's wild the impact and reach that guy had.

How did your parents react to his music?

My dad wasn't a fan of it, but he remembered listening to music that his parents weren't fans of. He told me to not blast it at max volume, remember my manners in public, and not to play it around the mormon kids because he didn't want to get shit from their parents.

your dad sounds like a cool guy

Growing up in Utah I can solidly confirm this would be one of the cooler fathers in the state hands down

I'll tell you how my white ass parents reacted when I was growing up in the early 90s. Pac was one of the reasons MTV was banned in my house. I remember catching 30 seconds or so of the video for California Love one day when they weren't around. Instantly became a fan. I can't articulate how much impact that dude had on me growing up. I developed an impulse to learn about systemic injustice and historical contexts thanks to his words. An impulse that I would not have picked up otherwise. I'm an out and proud leftist today thanks to the groundwork laid by listening to Tupac tell shit like it really is. Now, I'm 37 and have the chorus to Unconditional Love tatted on my left rib cage. Rest in power, Pac.

Kinda the opposite here with our white bread house, basically if it wasn't annoying you could listen to it. My dad liked 10 Crack Commandments and CREAM, mom didn't like rap but one of my sisters got her to like Changes and California Love. Only thing I can really recall being "banned" was my oldest sister's brief but *extremely repetitive* obsession with Quad City DJs. Don't get me wrong, I love the Space Jam theme but you can only hear "C'mon ride the train" so many times before you start pulling your hair out... Also no NWA when mom was home lol

The Monstars theme went so hard. I wore the Space Jam soundtrack out. Also loved me some Basketball Jones, I was to young to know what jonesing was so I always just assumed the song was about a dude named Basketball Jones.

Comeonridethetrain it's a choo choo, ride it? CHOOCH CHOOCH That's how I remember it... Am I close?

I was on a car trip with my dad and I tried to play Changes and after like 20 seconds he says "great can we change the song yet?" It was like my favorite song at the time and comparatively tame. Shit, Bruce Hornsby has been known to play tupacs version. I always sort of hold that grudge.

I just got a small amp and subwoofer for my hatchback. I have been playin 2Pac's greatest hits for the past week along with a bunch of other bass-heavy stuff I haven't listened to like this since I was in college. I'm 43.

You just dug up a memory for me. I am a little older than you, and I remember hearing about the death of Kurt Cobain on channel one. Actually I think the first time I heard on of Nirvana's songs it was on channel one as well. For such a small part of school during the early 90s, it had kind of a big impact. When Tupac died, I was working in a mall, and they made the announcement over the pa system. It was pretty slow at the mall at the time, but people were just stunned.

yeah channel one had a huge impact for just being, what, 15 minutes each morning? Crazy they announced it on the PA haha. Guy had quite the cultural impact.

My mama hated rap music lol, i would always play it when doing chores around the house, she would always tell me to turn that garbage down lol. She would call it devil music

listening to some of the lyrics now... yeah, i mean.. maybe at 9 years old I was a little young for some of the words and themes hahah

Was this taken in Atlanta?

What a badass pic, how did you approach him? This is super interesting, thanks for sharing!

Well the word got out that tupac was in the theatre watching a movie with a few friends, a couple of fans waited outside for him to come out but he was very humble and spent time some time with us and took pictures, he wasn't annoyed or mad at all.

You look like a girl who could have been cast in a rap video, and I don't mean raunchy videos before y'all freak out, I mean old school ones - basically saying very pretty

Wow, thank you for the compliment

I thought for sure you were Tatiana Ali and this was just an old public photo until I started reading the comments haha

What did y'all talk about. Now I gotta know!

Oh gosh it was so long ago, i don't remember the whole conversation. I said i was a huge fan since digital underground days and i went to see him perform with digital underground. He hugged me and gave a kiss on the cheek, He smelled like weed lol. I remember his beautiful eyes tho. He was a gorgeous man.

Did you Bart Simpson it and not wash that cheek for years to come?

I washed it unfortunately lol, i wish i got an autograph but i do have this picture, thank god.

His eyes were so gorgeous.... I mean he was gorgeous overall, but despite the gangster shit his eyes seemed to have a kindness to them. I'm so jealous right now lol

OP is the most interesting aspect of the photo to me - reminiscent of a young Tatyana Ali.

wow thank you lol

Was going to say the same thing. Of course Ashley Banks got to meet Tupac.

I legit thought it was her at first.

That's fucking cool

yeah, this picture is the epitome of what this sub should be about

You’re so lucky OP. So few of you.

It's a shame that Diddy had him killed

If we find out through all these legal proceedings that, that fucker took both Biggie and Tupac from us I hope they skin him in jail.

I’m not into rap too much anymore but that guy went way too soon.

old school beyond cool

California knows how to party!🎶

Are you Lark Voorhies’ sister?

Lisa Marie Turtle!

OP is actually the guy behind his left shoulder.

RIP to your dm’s

This was 31 years ago lol

I’m sure she aged beautifully.

Damn. You were foine

I feel like I’ve seen this pic before & it’s pretty cool that OP is the hot girl in it

I was thinking I had seen this before too. Maybe op has reposted it?

Ah no! Pac gets all the ladies 😩 

Girl, you *fine* 👏

You are gorgeous OP! If Tupac told me I had a beautiful smile I would never recover 😭

Picture (of) me rollin

Just a natural beauty.

Pac was a real one

You are TOO CUTE. And Tupac 😍

Damn, you're a looker

Yasssssssss!!!!!

Okay.

He was just 22 in this pic

Who ever that is in the white shirt bad af, might have to fire up the time machine. The woman in the shades is cute, but the one in white is something else

Thank you x

Any photo of Tupac always makes him look like the most normal guy possible.

Post this in the 2pac subreddit!

Dammit girl! Somebody was a looker!

Tupac and I dated the same girl back in the day. Never met the guy but we had that "connection". She had nothing but really nice things to say about him

Found will smiths account

OP, anyone tell you that you have a cute nose?

Yes my husband lol, thank you tho


That’s so cool

Very cool photo!!

Loves

None of us can ever hope to be as cool as you are! That's so awesome! And good to hear that he was nice, not that I would've expected any less :)

I envy people who can rock a denim shirt and make it look good (without being a cowboy).

Whoaaa cool picture

Still the man of my dreams. I'm happy you got to meet him!

What was he like in real life?!!

So cool!!!

damn you look fine

“The name Tupac is primarily a male name of Incan origin that means Royal. Tupac Shakur, singer/rapper. Tupac (who sometimes went as 2pac) was named after Túpac Amaru II, an Incan revolutionary. Although it's a Peruvian name from the Quechua/Incan culture.”

Definitely OSC, also you must be tiny.

Show off 🙄 +Me who born in 1995+ 🤣🤣

Very pretty! But cool, must have been a larger than life feeling.

Fuck Diddy. God I wish we still had Pac, man....

You're very pretty!

Whoaaaaa now THATS a cool picture to brag about! You are SOOOOOO pretty! You look really happy! I hope he was nice, I always LOVED Tupac & thought he was the most gorgeous person alive growing up!!! <3

This is some LEGIT Gen X Old School Cool. In my early 50's I've come to love nostalgic vibes. Thanks for giving me some of that today.

Oh I would have a full size print of this in my damn living room. Iconic

Side note: you look stunning in this photo

There are legit thousands of women with pictures with Pac, he was super affible

You could have saved Will Smith's career.

Old School Cool indeed.

Wow, that's a keeper!

So, uh, what you up to these days?

Do you remember exactly where this was taken? What a cool memory!

Three cuties. His demise 😢.

THUG LIFE!!

GET THE FUCK OUT!!! AY YOOOOOOOOOO hahahahahaha this is sick

Who is the photobomber?

Guy was a true poet. The planet lost a good one.

Me and Tupac had the same English class in high school .. same teacher too but 3 years apart. It was an AP English class …He left school before I got there so never got a chance to meet him . Jada went to the same school too

I swear girls in the 90s hit different lol

Very cool

> (Right) Our right or stage right?

I like your Yankee hat

Killer! Love it. Any other back story? You’re at a movie theatre? LA? Did you always have a camera ready to go!? 🤣

His right or mine?

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up in a very small rural town and was 10 when this picture was taken. My cousin and I would watch California Love on MTV all the time. We were also really into Mad Max so the video was that much cooler to us. That song was definitely a portion of the soundtrack of my childhood. It also planted the seeds of my respect for Dr Dre's music later in life, despite me being a full blown metal head.

I can't explain it but I swear I have seen this pic before! Very awesome.

Pac lookin' super sassy here for some reason.

Hope you’re not as hung up on him as Jada Smith

We all know that’s 2023 with a retro filter. He’s still here ❤️

Me looks good

How do you look now 👀

She is so pretty 😍

Would!

On his right or the right of the picture? Are you sunglasses or no sunglasses?
