Wow, Pac would have been 40 today! That’s a bit unsettling. At 26, I am now older than he ever was but that makes you appreciate his talent a bit more. Now the best way to celebrate Shakur’s birthday is to listen to Me Against the World while driving around at night. That album is drenched in paranoia and it’s a pure nighttime record. Off the top of my head, other nighttime records recommended by the 5 River Beat are DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing and Cypress Hill’s Temples of Boom.
