2Pac Covers XXL

[ILL]

2Pac Back—and on the cover XXL. On the 15th anniversary of his death, XXL reaches out to the people that knew him best, including his father, Bill Garland. Issue on stands August 16th.

“[Tupac] cared for people,” he said. “That was his main thing. He really cared for people. I think that’s why he would get so upset when people tried to question his commitment, his love for Black women or Black men. The East Coast/West Coast, you know, that’s a fabrication. I don’t have to begin to tell you that. So when that was questioned, it bothered him. Because he would give his heart or soul. He was a giving person. He would give anything to people. He would go in a store. [If there was a] Black man who couldn’t afford a $1,500 pair of boots, he would buy ’em for him. Think that Black man would ever forget Tupac? That’s just the way he is. But I don’t think that he did it for that. He did it because he had it, and he didn’t. That’s the way he is.”

Hard to believe it's been 15 years since he passed away. R.I.P. to the greatest rapper that ever lived.

And I lost all respect for XXL Magazine when they put Justin Bieber in this issue and Lil Wayne's issue. That is shit XXL would have never gotten away with back in the 90's. This is the problem with hip-hop these days. Businesses try to associate pop stars with rappers and vice-versa.

Regardless, I'm still gonna cop this issue because it looks very interesting. I'm wondering what this "Pac at 40" is all about.

I also find it interesting that they interviewed Tupac's biological father. Especially after the fact he was a dick and tried to take half of Tupac's property after his death, even though he was only in Tupac's life for 4 or 5 years.
