For us ol' schoolers who have been jamming with you since the 70s, your passing is nothing short of pure heartbreak. We will miss you terribly. But thanks to both you and Common for this beautiful collaboration. And until we meet again, keep on creating those wonderful songs wherever you land next. ❤❤❤ Peace.

    My favorite 2Pac song is Do For Love.
    My favorite Biggie song is Sky's The Limit.
    My favorite Common song is The Light.
    All of those singles sample Bobby Caldwell songs.
    Three of the most timeless songs in the history of Hip-Hop.
    Lyrically, and Musically.
    Thank you, Pac.
    Thank you, Soulshock, and Karlin.

      I really hope you read this, because your comment actually changed my life. I looked up the 2Pac song that you mentioned. I loved it so much, I spent the entire day listening to his music and looking into his life/death. I wasn't a big fan of his before, but after that day he became my biggest idol. I'm writing this, looking at a painting of 2Pac on my wall and listing to 'Do For Love'
      Thank you.
