XXL brings TUPAC back on the cover of their September issue. The magazine is celebrating TUPAC's 15th anniversary of his death, where they reached out to those who knew him best. Bill Garland, Tupac's biological father was amongst those interviewed for the anniversary issue. The issue will be available August 16.
Check out an excerpt from the issue below:
“[Tupac] cared for people,” he said. “That was his main thing. He really cared for people. I think that’s why he would get so upset when people tried to question his commitment, his love for Black women or Black men. The East Coast/West Coast, you know, that’s a fabrication. I don’t have to begin to tell you that. So when that was questioned, it bothered him. Because he would give his heart or soul. He was a giving person. He would give anything to people. He would go in a store. [If there was a] Black man who couldn’t afford a $1,500 pair of boots, he would buy ’em for him. Think that Black man would ever forget Tupac? That’s just the way he is. But I don’t think that he did it for that. He did it because he had it, and he didn’t. That’s the way he is.”
