The Myth of a famous hip hop star

The other day, a boy came up to me and said (in wolof) "Gora, I have a very important question to ask you. Tupac, is he dead or alive?"

This question then sparked a lively discussion (again, in wolof) about how rap artist can die and then release several albums...So even in Senegal, Tupac's legend continues.

  1. Had a good laugh at this-- but legitimate question! Not just rap artists, but late artists in general can continue to release music (Michael Jackson?).
