International Mo comes through to reflect on the complex legacy of Tupac Shakur. Claude and Mo share their ten favorite Pac songs and discuss the complicated and conflicting driving themes of his music: fatalism, the fear of death, faith, social activism, and, of course, thug life. Often imitated but never duplicated, Tupac remains one of the greatest musical and cultural icons of our generation. Be sure to peep Side B of our convo.
