Tupac and Kobe Bryant shaped culture in different ways. Tupac's brief career tackled race, poverty, and justice through music. Kobe proved greatness came from relentless work in the gym, not just talent.
Do I have a big portion for them? No, but I got some space for them though, man, because they legends. So anyway, man, uh, though Pac's life was tragically, uh, cut short at the age of 25, man, like I say, man, this dude did all these things that he did and accomplished from the age of 21 to 25, bruh, in a 4-year period. Young man. Yeah, he was Thug Life at the Bishop Thug Life.
Yeah. From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy living in the ghetto.
Hey, they may not— I may not have mentioned, uh, Thug Life, uh, to his credit in the album, but I know Pac stuff, bro. Street Fame, all of it. It ain't too much of Pac that I ain't heard before, straight up though. Do you want to die or would you rather live forever? Hey, anyway, man, so he died at the age of 25, man, you know what I'm saying? But the seeds Pac, uh, planted, man, continued to grow, man. His influence can be seen in the music of countless artists who followed it, uh, who followed in his footsteps, and to continue, uh, just being relevant, man, of his, of his lyrics, man, and in the conversations he started about race, poverty, and justice. Tupac just didn't leave behind a catalog of great music, he left a legacy, uh, a legacy of resilience, truth, and hope, man. So I, I hope y'all got something from that, man, about my man Tupac on this Black History Month day, man. But, but, uh, you know, Kobe taught us that greatness isn't just about talent, it's about hard work, persistence and the relentless pursuit of being better. Dude stayed in the gym, man. Straight gym rat. Uh, I forgot who it was. Was it Allen Iverson? Matter of fact, I think it was Iverson and T-Mac. I read some stuff where they say, you know, they want to go out to the club, they want to go kick it. Kobe want to go to the gym.
I ain't got time now. I ain't got time for it. I ain't got time for all that. I gotta get in this gym.
