I appreciate the thoughts of the two guests on Tupac, but it's ludicrously obvious that the host knows almost nothing about his music. Tupac has one of the most downright recognizable voices and styles in hip-hop -- one that is easily parodied, it is so distinctive -- and yet you play a clip of "California Love" that's obviously Dr. Dre rapping and not Tupac. What gives? Is this the first time the show producers have heard Tupac Shakur? Goodness.
