  1. I was in the 6th grade when Tupac (and Biggie) were shot. I still listen to Tupac today. 6th grade (‘96) is when I was first introduced to hip hop & rap. It’s still my favorite genre of music. I actually cried hearing this news! It surprised me, but it shows how influential Tupac and his music were and are.

    It was always talked about who did it who was involved in the industry. Then Keffe D began talking about it publicly and even in a book he published. And Nevada came through. Stunning. I hope the sentence is adequate. 🩷

    But, justice served today. Minimum sentence for 1st degree in Nevada is 50 years with eligibility for parole after 20 years
