My dad's Nigerian, and I remember going to Nigeria, and all of these kids and adults and everyone in-between knew who TuPac was. They had TuPac t-shirts, TuPac posters, TuPac cassettes... everyone knew TuPac, and sometimes that was the only English that they spoke, was TuPac lyrics.

Annie Ilonzeh

I was obsessed with Tupac - like eat, sleep, breathe Tupac. During this obsessive love affair, I dressed the part.

Priyanka Chopra

Growing up, you hear Tupac's music, it's kind of like... it goes without saying that everyone likes Tupac.

Demetrius Shipp, Jr.

I like a lot of artists but I think the one that touched me the most was probably Tupac, coming up. Cause that was my generation, so Tupac was mine.

French Montana

The thing is, I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted to be an Elvis Presley or a Tupac - like, a huge icon.

G-Eazy

Everybody has the Tupac that they admire. Certain people love the hip-hop person, the rapper. Strictly just the rapper. A lot of people, the newfound Tupac fans... they're into Death Row-era Tupac. But that was only nine months!

Demetrius Shipp, Jr.

I'm not really interested in anybody, that's why I started rapping. I'm still a fan of Tupac. That's the only rapper that I'm still like, "Oh! Tupac!"

Spencer Pratt

He's been my number one influence. If you say Tupac didn't influence you, then you don't really need to be rapping because nobody evokes that kind of emotion on a track like Tupac does.

Freddie Gibbs

I like Jay-Z. I love Luda. I love Ledisi. I like Beyonce, of course. I think she's just brilliant. She's a triple threat. But my favorite - my all-time rapper is Tupac. See, I could have been Tupac's girlfriend.

Stephanie Mills

My biggest influence is Tupac. He was a poet, and listening to Tupac is what inspired me to start rapping.

Chanel West Coast

Tupac gave us validity. Tupac made the kid getting beat up every day realize that it was okay to be smart. Tupac made the knucklehead realize that it was okay to stay home and read a book. A fool at 40, a fool forever.

Bevy Smith

I kinda got an old soul a little bit, I listen to a lot of Tupac before my games, Tupac and Biggie.

Jalen Ramsey

Before I got signed to Bad Boy, I grew up listening to Snoop and Tupac and my hood was all Tupac driven.

Mase

I listen to a lot of Tupac and Biggie Smalls. Old school songs. Rick Ross. I listen to a guy ASAP Rocky. I like different kinds of music. I always have. It motivates me before games... A Tupac playlist or a Meek Mill playlist. It varies.
