On September 13, 1996,  after suffering multiple gunshot wounds, Tupac Amaru Shakue was pronounced dead.. A day that changed hip hop forever.

His murder has never really been solved, but in the 15 years since the hip hop star got got, the world has been transformed, seemingly many times over.

Nine-11. Two wars. Economic turmoil. Climate change. George W. Bush. Barack Obama. It's been a wild, contentious, often tragic decade and a half since.

On that note, pour out a lil liqour, crank up the volume and ponder life as you listen to some Pac.
