It’s safe to say that the cultural influence and creativity of Tupac Shakur rubbed off on Kendrick Lamar. K. Dot expresses his admiration for the late West Coast rapper in interviews and songs. His latest album To Pimp A Butterfly contained a song titled “Mortal Man” where Kendrick imagined a conversation with him and Pac.
Today on the 19th deathiversary of the Hip Hop icon, an open letter from Kendrick Lamar detailing the first time he saw the rapper was posted on Shakur’s official website. Check out the heartfelt letter below:
The rapper/poet/actor’s legend lives on forever. RIP TUPAC.
