The Fallen Popes Of The Hip-Hop Church

If you are reading this it'd mean that you are starting to know who I really am. Therefore you know I consider Hip-Hop a religion where I would be a priest, the greatest lyricists of our time would be our cardinals and our dearly departed would be our posthumous popes (if they've succeeded in crafting a different vision of hip-hop before their deaths).
2Pac is one of my favorite rapper of all time (Nas being the other one) however there are a lot of other artists that I'm fond of as well and B.I.G is one of them.
Although I wasn't a big fan of B.I.G's music in general I couldn't possibly deny his great skills in writing. Today is the anniversary of his death and because he is one of the popes we (priests) have to thank for making our religion so great nowadays I'm writing this thread to commemorate his art.
Ergo I wanted to say to all of our fallen brothers to rest in peace and we'll try to live up to the myth they've built.
Thence ladies & gentlemen let's honour our fallen popes Notorious B.IG & Tupac Shakur
