 == Influences == 

 Didn't 2Pac have a lot of influences? How come none of his influences are on the article. He had influences. KRS-One, Rakim, LL Cool J to name a few. Can somebody please tell me why there are no influences on the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 ==Kool G rap was one of 2pac's main influences I know that much== 

 I don't think Rakim is one of them. A correct list would be KRS One, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Public Enemny, Whodini, Melly Mell, LL, Mr. Magic, FLASH, Grandmaster Caz, and Salt N' Peppa 
 to name a few. He mentions some of these people and or songs they did (like Push it by Salt Peppa) on the song Old Skool.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 Good question, go to Allmuis.com and look up 2Pac I think they have a list of some of his influences 

 Rakim is listed on allmusic.com as an influence to 2pac.  Also, in the song ""Old School"" Tupac says ""Eric B. & Rakim was, the shit to me ..."", and at the end of the song he says ""I came through the door, said it before / That was the SHIT!"" a clear reference to Eric B. & Rakim's classic track ""Eric B. Is President."" 

 This article should replace all instances of ""african american"" with ""black."" Tupac didn't use the phrase african american to describe his work; it's shameful to use a phrase the deceased didn't like to describe his influences. 

 == Biggie == 

 Include The Notrious BIG as a an associated act since Tupac is under Biggie's Associated acts  —Preceding talk •    

 ==Questionable Content== 
 Can someone varify the line ""Some of his ashes were later mixed with cannabis and smoked by members of Outlawz.[46]"" ? 

  
 Yes.  Somebody please verify this.  In the referenced article it states there was an ash scattering ceremony, but nothing about smoking some of the ashes with cannabis. [47]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 This is true. I've heard it from many sources. Part o
