…I mean, this is kind of true, right? Like, Tupac as an artist overall is another thing (now that is iconic), but lyrically speaking? A lot of rappers are better than ‘Pac. Sorry. Anyways…

On the last day of Black History Month, Joey Bada$$ speaks with Genius on the historical black figures that have influenced him and his career over the years. Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Afeni Shakur, and 2Pac are just a few of those mentioned by the Pro Era MC, who is engaged with black history in a way few other young artists are.
