So let me get this straight. The #Thriller album is 40 years old. I'm 49. If my calculations are right, I was 9 when that album dropped in 1982?!? Huh? WTH?Dear #GenerationX we are officially old! #OldSchool #the40andoverproject #the80s #PopCulture #PopMusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRsihQOFnt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is my favorite photo of #Tupac, I believe from the infamous Vibe Magazine photo shoot with Snoop Dogg and Dre when they all signed a deal to be on Death Row Records with Suge Knight. I also remember exactly where I was when I got the sad news of his death. I was a student at Kent State University in my senior year in fall 96, riding in the car with my friend Heather and we heard it on the radio. For a couple of 20 somethings to hear about the demise of someone so talented who was our age, it was devastating. And who could have predicted that Biggie would also be gone only about 6 months later. #the90s #HipHop #OldSchool #CollegeMemories #BlogPost #the40andoverproject Tupac Amaru Shakur (/ˈtuːpɑːk ʃəˈkʊər/ TOO-pahk shə-KOOR; born Lesane Parish Crooks, June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), better known by his stage name 2Pac and, later, by his alias Makaveli, was an American rapper, songwriter, and actor. He is widely considered one of the most influential rappers of all time. Much of Shakur's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he is considered a symbol of activism against inequality. #Wikipedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CTw9eQDLlP2/?utm_medium=tumblr

#SummerRemix When I first started my podcast, the name of it was “the clique” which was the whole premise of the podcast in the first place. I changed the name of it to #the40andoverproject.
