If I could google any question it would be why were Biggie and Tupac were killed. Why did the two most influential artist in the rap have to be killed before reaching their peak. Rap was still very young and the godfathers of rap music were killed without any true explanation. on September 7th 1996 Tupac Shakur was shot four times in a drive by shooting in Las Vegas. months later on March 9th 1997 The Notorious B.I.G (Christopher Wallace) was shot in a drive by shooting in Los Angelas. Despite the two rappers constant burns in their music Biggie admits that he would never wish death on Tupac. Both assassinations had little follow up and very few charges were pressed, how can the fathers of rap go out so unjustified? Myself being in love with both artists music feel cheated out of years of great music that never had the chance to grow. It is heart breaking that both icons had to go this way and rap has suffered ever since.
I guess I didn't even realize that both of these rappers were murdered and that there were never charges pressed. Were the murders gang related or revenge killings? What a shame and a loss for the world of rap.
