Shortly after releasing Kendrick Lamar's tribute to Eazy-E earlier this week, Paper Magazine has now shared Eminem's piece on the life and career of 2Pac. In the letter, Eminem offers glowing praise of Pac's notorious versatility, saying, "[2Pac] was taking things further than a lot of rappers at the time—pushing it to the next level as far as giving feeling to his words and his music. A lot of people say, 'You feel Pac,' and it's absolutely true. The way he chose which words to say with which beat was genius; it's like he knew what part of the bear and what chord change was the right place to hit these certain words."
Both tributes, as well as a piece from Swizz Beatz on The Notorious B.I.G., will appear in Paper Magazine's upcoming Nowstalgia issue, due out on October 20th.
