After Kendrick Lamar praised Eazy-E and admitted he would have never been the rapper we all know if it wasn’t for the late N.W.A member, Eminem also submitted a letter for Paper Magazine’s special Nowstalgia issue. The artist he picked to glorify was none other than Tupac Shakur.


In the piece, Em breaks down his fascination with 2Pac’s versatility and broad perspective, his thoughtful interviews, his ability to “trump people,” and much more.


He was so versatile — if you weren’t in the mood for what he was doing on this song here, he’s got something for you over here. He covered such a broad perspective and there were so many different sides to him, but the best part about him overall was that he was a human being. He would let you see that. I used to be fascinated with his interviews like, ‘Yo, what he’s saying is so true.’ He would also be able to trump people who were interviewing him when they would hit him with hard questions — it was incredible.”
